Q.
Who would photograph my wedding, and what would happen in
the event that he or she gets sick or has an emergency?
A: I am the
only photographer for the studio, and in the unlikely
event that I disabled the day of your wedding I would call
on my assistant , who is a very capable part time wedding
and portrait photographer or my colleague/mentor who is
semi retired and has over 25 years experience with
weddings and portraits.

Q:
I was also wondering if you supply gift
certificates?
I am looking into purchasing session for my brother in-law
and his wife who have a baby girl, and I am wondering if
the $79.99 fee covers prints as well. We would like to
give it to them as a commemoration of Baby's first/FAMILY's
first Christmas.
A: We have gift
certificates available for any $ amount you would like.
The recipient could choose the session they need, and also
use it for prints. A small family with young children
usually does a 30 minute session, and possibly additional
short sessions for the kid's individual portraits.
The gift certificate can be purchased over the phone with
a credit card, or let me know when you can visit the
studio to pick one up.

Q:
Are the preview CD's that you provide after the shoot shot
on a high resolution so that prints can be made directly
from the CD? I ask because we are not looking to spend
more than $80 and the extended family that they may decide
to send prints too is quite large so I think they may want
to be able to print directly from the CD.
Thanks so much for getting back as quickly as you did. I
really enjoy the style of shots that you have on your
website. No fake stuck smiles which is a rarity in most
family portraits!!!
Take care.
A:
The preview CD does not include printable images.
In order to control the quality of our finished work, we
retouch and perfect each image ordered and print on the
highest quality Kodak paper available. We also offer
digital face switching on group portraits to ensure that
each person has a flattering natural expression .
Our customer service and quality reputation depend largely
on the craftsmanship of the print making process.
Therefore we do not allow printing of the un-retouched
preview images.
$80 can get more quantity at discount photography studios,
but without the variety, quality, and service we provide.

| Q. Do you use a
professional medium format camera or a 35mm, and do you
carry backup in the case of a malfunction?
A. I use professional 8 and 10
mega pixel digital SLR's to photograph the wedding . . .
multiple back-ups of cameras, lights and cords.
|
| Q. How many wedding has
your studio photographed and do you enjoy doing weddings?
A.
I have photographed more than 200 weddings over the
past 12 years. I enjoy the work and it is an honor to be a
personal participant in each individual event!
|
| Q. Will proofs be received
electronically or through a traditional preview album, and how
long after the wedding does this take?
A.
All wedding coverage includes all of the photos taken during your
event, with 4x6 prints in a preview album that is yours to keep, with
2.5 weeks. Web previewing and CD slide show previews are also available
at an additional charge. see digital display items here:

|
| Q. Do you shoot un-posed candid as well
as portraits? |
A. Most couples will choose a
combination of traditional and photojournalistic style, using color,
B&W, candid, and bridal party poses. My approach is to offer a nice
blend of the photographic styles. I can do a traditional wedding - all
color with the typical photo opts throughout your day. I can do a
photojournalist style with all black and white and minimal posing.
Regardless of style, my goal is to capture each couple enjoying their
wedding day, and take great pictures as they happen.
| Q. Do you use digital photography?
A. Yes. The latest professional digital cameras
produce beautiful high quality prints up to 24x30 inches. Preview your
studio images instantly and get preview CD slide show within 24 hours.
|
| Q. Do you offer custom framing?
A. NO. I highly recommend McCoy's Framing in the
Webster Village 585-872-3670. There are true experts with a great
variety, fast service, and reasonable prices!
