Engagement session?

shooting for about one hour. There is no time limit at any of your photography events.

Q: What about editing? Is it included in my package?
A: Images used in your album may be edited for artistic purposes, and this is included
in your package. For images not in your album, you may request editing. The cost
for this will depends on the complexity of the edit and will be quoted before work
begins. Photoshop is a wonderful tool and allows us to create, enhance or fix almost
any image. I cannot make the groom He-

Q: Do you cooperate with videographers? Other photographers?
A: I am more than happy to cooperate with a videographer. I am also willing to cooperate
with any of your friends or family who want to take a few snapshots along with me
as we capture your magic moments. I do request that we are the only professional
photographers at your event and that no other images of your wedding be available
for sale.

Q: Can I put disposable cameras on the tables?
A: As a professional, I have no issue with this. As a friend, I will say in the weddings
I have been to where this has been done the bride and groom have been less than excited
with the results. There tend to be a lot of cameras with one or two pictures on them,
and they are generally not of the highest quality. The cameras themselves and the
developing are expensive. It is absolutely up to you, but I would caution against
it.
