There are many packages with varied hours of coverage designed to suit your needs and budget.

To secure your wedding date, we ask for a $500 non-refundable booking fee. A photographer is allocated to your wedding day immediately. This can be paid by direct deposit, cheque, Visa, Mastercard or Cash. You will then have until three weeks prior to the wedding to decide what you would like to include in your package, such as length of coverage etc. That is when the final payment is due.

Our basic start time for wedding days is at least one hour before the ceremony. This allows us time for equipment setup, assessment of the location for our shooting strategy, and taking a few shots of the bride, groom, and other wedding party members, etc., before the ceremony.

In some cases, we start an hour and a half or more before the ceremony, depending on the wedding couple’s needs and our mutually planned schedule for the day. Earlier starts are advisable when the bride and groom want to have more formal photos done before (rather than after) the ceremony. Sometimes, the bride and groom wish to have a portion (sometimes, even all) of the formal photos out of the way before the ceremony so that there is little or no interruption between the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the reception. In those cases, we will adjust our start time appropriately in order to have a good comfort zone to get all of the desired photos within the time allowed before the ceremony.

Please note that formal photos of the entire wedding party (with bride and groom together) taken before the ceremony are the exception rather than the rule. Most couples still want to do the majority of the posed formals after the ceremony (especially those including both the bride and groom).

We use a combination shooting style, mixing a candid photo approach with the more traditional posed formal photographs. Much of the style that we use is determined by the agreement that we reach with the bride and groom concerning the type of shots that they want us to use to tell the story of their wedding. We generally adjust our shooting style to some degree based on what the bride and groom want from us, and we are usually able to determine what the bride and groom want in our pre-wedding consultations with them.

With two photographers working together, both shooting, we tend to average about 125 photos per hour over the course of any given wedding, occasionally shooting over 1000 photos on long wedding days.

It is rare for us to shoot less than 200 photos at a wedding, even a small wedding of relatively short duration. A larger, longer, and more involved wedding could require 1000 or more photographs to cover all aspects properly.

The nature and number of candid photographs and formal photographs are based on the desires of the bride, groom, and family, as well as the photo package agreed upon. Certain critical moments are captured using more than one photo. This helps to ensure that the best possible photo (especially in an important posed shot) is available for the final wedding album. For instance, if someone blinks during one of the posed formal photos, there is always a backup shot to deliver in its place. We feel that our shooting style leads to very thorough overall coverage of the events of the wedding day, and the resulting photos tell a very good story of the wedding day events.

In most cases, the bride and groom can expect to see their initialimages within 2 to 3 weeks following the wedding.

Most of our wedding packages includedigital image files as part of the delivery to the bride and groom.

For the most part, there is no problem with friends and relatives taking photographs while we are doing our work. All that we ask is that any friends or relatives respect the fact that we have been hired to do a job as quickly and efficiently as possible, and that it is especially important that we have minimal interference during the posed formals session. It is quite all right if someone wants to take a photograph after we have shot a given pose, but other people taking excessive numbers of photographs during this time can lead to delays in the formal session and thus delays in getting to the reception. We try to work in such a manner that the formal session is not any longer than necessary. Thus, too many interruptions in this specific part of our service can lead to inappropriate delays.

Yes, we are happy to photograph small family groups as long as the bride and groom wish us to do this.

We require aretainer fee (applied to your chosen package) and a signed contract to book our wedding services. Once the retainer has been received and details of the chosen wedding package have been finalized on the contract sheet, your booking with us is finalized.
