1. Do you have backup equipment to insure that you will be able to capture all of our wedding day?
We have multiple digital camera bodies, flashes, and memory cards including a professional film camera if all the digital equipment were to fail. We have never had any
equipment failure, but we are prepared for any problems and can guarantee that we will be able to capture your day BEAUTIFULLY even if some of our equipment fails.
2. When do you require full payment for your services and the products we have selected?
We require a 50% retainer when you sign the contract and reserve your date. The balance is not due until we deliver the DVD-ROM to you two weeks AFTER your
wedding. This allows you the option to use money that you received as wedding gifts to help pay for your wedding photography.
3. How much do you charge if we ask you to stay an hour longer to get some more pictures?
We do not charge anymore if we are asked to stay longer than originally specified. We base our pricing on how much of your wedding you want photographed.(ceremony,
reception, dance) rather than any per hour charge. Your pictures are more important to us than watching the clock on your wedding day.
4. Do you charge for travel/mileage?
We do not charge for travel and/or mileage. Your wedding will cost the same if it is in Minneapolis, La Crosse or Duluth!
5. How much does an album/coffee table book cost?
Depending upon the size and type of the album, they range in cost from $150 to $1200. There are substantial savings on the album cost when purchased as part of one of
affordable and popular packages.
6. How long will it take to get my album/book/DVD-ROM?
We deliver all of the photographic products that you have selected in six to eight weeks of your wedding day (depending upon the products selected).
7. How many photographers will you use for our wedding and what are their qualifications?
We always uses TWO Professional Photographers for EVERY wedding with over 40 years of combined experience. TWO Professional photographers can capture many
more of those unique, candid moments than is possible with just one.
8. Can you take traditional posed pictures as well as photo-journalistic style pictures?
We will shoot the wedding in YOUR style with YOUR preferences. If you want traditional posed shots - we will shoot it. If you prefer to just have photojournalistic, candid
photography - we can do that as well. This is YOUR day and we will preserve those memories in the way that you want.
9. What brand of cameras do you use?
We use some of the latest professional digital and film cameras and lenses from Nikon.
10. Can you deliver images in black and white, sepia, and/or in collages with special effects and custom borders?
We can process your images according to YOUR preferences. If you prefer black and white images - you will get them! If you like special effects and borders on your
images - we will do that as well! We will use our artistic vision to produce BEAUTIFUL images in any form that you prefer!
11. Do you have examples of other weddings that you have shot so we can see the quality level of your work?
We have an extensive portfolio of wedding work as well as other photographic work that demonstrates our high standard of photographic quality! We also have some full
wedding coffee table books from a few different weddings so you can see ALL the photos that we have taken at a wedding rather than just a few GREAT shots.
12. Is your business incorporated and registered by the State as a Sole Proprietorship, a Limited Liability Corporation, an S-Corporation, or a
Formal Partnership?
We are a Limited Liability Company registered with the State.
13. How long do you keep my images in case my DVD-ROM is lost or destroyed?
We always make multiple backups of your final images as well as storing them on a secure, online storage service for five years! Even if our studio burned down - your
images would still be preserved!
