FAQ from the bride

It is engagement season which means my mailbox has been full of excited Brides-to-be! This season is a fun one but it can also be super overwhelming! Today’s post is a helpful place for you to find answers to a lot of the questions I get lately!! Whether it be clearing up an issue or calming your fears, you can find it here!
Most of the questions I get from potential clients is because of a bad experience a friend of family member experienced and shared with them. I totally get it! If your best friend hired a photographer who lost their wedding images or took months to deliver the photos instead of weeks, of course you would be concerned! So today I am going to ease your mind by answering the questions we get most!

1. Do we have to do an engagement session?

The simple answer is YOU SHOULD!  We believe that engagement sessions add so much value to your complete wedding experience!  In fact we blogged about the top 3 reasons why we include engagement sessions in every package!  We promise that if you get behind the camera before your wedding day, it will be well worth it!

 

2. Do I really need a second photographer on my wedding day?

We believe our job is to capture your wedding day to the best of our ability.  And simply put, I can’t do it alone!  The value of a second shooter is immeasurable!  You get two views of the most important day of your life!  We shared how we divide our wedding day task here and to see a great example of how my hubby Travis shoots on the wedding day, see this second shooter showcase post!  

 

3. How do you keep my wedding photos safe?

Oh this is a big one!  Usually when I get this question It is followed by a story of a person close to the bride or groom who had their wedding photos lost.  It makes me cry every time.  Thank goodness that has never happened to us!  Technology is never 100% given,  BUT we have learned to take lots of precautions on the wedding day and after to keep your images safe!  In fact, we share exactly how in this blog post right here:  Image Protection.

 

4. How quickly will we get to see our photos after the wedding?

This question is usually followed up by another story from a friend of the bride and groom-  “My sister’s photographer promised we would see the photos in 6 weeks and it has been months and we still don’t have them.”  It breaks my heart!  I know you guys are super excited to see your photos and I am super excited to share them with you!  We believe that fast is best and we share your photos in spurts to keep you satisfied and happy!  Here is our exact Turnaround time policy!
