Fun Frequent
Asked Questions
FFAQ's
Planning a wedding or an elopement is one of the most fun but also can be stressful at times for a couple. I totally get it. It's your big day and it's okay to ask as many questions. I'm here with you all the way to help to create the best experience you've been waiting!
Where are you located? Do you travel?
I'm based in Sterling. Northern Virginia area and my main operating areas are all over the DMVs. I've also done engagements, elopements and weddings in various Eastern states such as Washington D.C, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Fortunately, my packages pricings already include travel fees (for within 100 radius miles from Sterling), so if you decide to have my service within the radius, you're already covered! This should cover the general DMV area. If I'm still honored to serve you outside of this area I'd love to chat more discuss further details. I thrive myself as an adventure photographer, so that means.. technically I should be able to go whenever I'm needed, yes.. even worldwide.
How many photos can I select?
Usually my photography package offers at least 100 high res, edited photos for the Portrait session. The Wedding package offers the most with over 500 high res, edited photos. However, I'm always open for discussion if you have a specific number in mind! For more details, please visit my Investments page!
How long will it take for you to edit the photos?
Usually 3 to 5 quick! The photos editing process is where I pride myself in taking time and making sure they'll reach your highest satisfaction, therefore 3 to 5 weeks is the typical time I'd love to take and be able to process your timeless moments and delivery the best images possible! However, if you'd want to expedite the process, I'd love to discuss more details.
What is the normal coverage hours for the experience?
The real answer is, it depends! My Investments page offers some of the popular packages but I'm always open for a custom package where we can discuss a specific time range or hours that will work best in your interest!
How many people can we have at our elopement?
In my experience, elopement gathers just the bride and groom, and maybe an officiant. However, this question is rather up to you and how many people you'd love to be involved in your most important day. My job is to make sure everyone is captured as each person's presence is always appreciated!
How do I/we book a complimentary consultation appointment with you?
I personally it is truly the best guidance is to hear from you. It is and will be your most special day. So, please.. reach out to me for a phone call, virtual chat, or meet up for a coffee chat in person, any way I can get connected with you is most appreciated! Feel free to visit my Contact page to schedule an appointment with me and we will chat!
Can we cancel or reschedule our important date?
Absolutely yes! I understand life happens and things can change at the last minute. It would be greatly appreciated that I will be notified 30 to 45 days in advance should something happen so that I can reschedule our date of service. This way it'll give me enough time to manage my own schedule and plus arrange appropriate personnel and traveling schedule to best accommodate you. Should something happen 15 days or less before our agreed service date, please also let me know still, but a $100 service charge will be applied towards the final receipt of your booking. Your understanding is greatly appreciated!
What happens if the photographer is unable on the scheduled date?
Similar to the above question, anything can happen in life. If there is a change on my schedule which I might regretfully not be available on your important date. I will do my best to notify you at least 30 days in advance and will also help you to find a replacement photographer which I also carefully select to make sure that they will meet your personal taste and style. A full refund from me will also be initiated such incident happens.
Do you give out unedited photos?
The simple answer is unfortunately, I usually do not. In order to protect the authenticity, and copyright of the work, unedited pictures are typically not given out since they are raw, unedited photos and will need to be selected, and edited to best aesthetically represent my style and photographic signature. Imagine raw food ingredients being best prepared by a chef, you would only want to taste the final cooked meal right? ;) However, I've had costumers who ask to purchase raw photos for their personal reason to keep and store them within their protection, which I will totally understand. And, when that is the case, a raw photo might be purchased for $2 each. I'd love to accommodate you such this need arises.
Do you give out proposal and when?
Yes! Typically and as soon as possible (within 24 hours) after we first chat and all questions are answered from both sides. The more information we have the better the proposal will be prepared for our best interests.
How does payment work?
Once our mutual contract is sent out and all parties signed, I will send you an invoice and you can either have a partial payment plan or all can be paid at once! It'll be all up to you. The system will even send you reminder for upcoming payment should you choose to go with partial payment plan.
Any other questions?
I totally understand there'll be more questions as I cannot cover all the questions in the world haha! Well, we can either get on a phone call or you can fill out a custom form here! I'd love to answer as soon and as much as possible!
