Wedding Photography Questions
Hidden
What is your photography style?
We take a documentary-style approach, capturing real moments as they naturally unfold. Our focus is on candid, emotional, and timeless images rather than stiff, posed shots.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes! Engagement sessions are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding. They also provide beautiful images for save-the-dates, invitations, or wedding websites.
How many photos will we receive?
You can expect around 600–900 fully edited images, depending on the length of coverage and events throughout the day. Your contract will clearly state the minimum number of edited images you will receive.
When will we receive our wedding photos?
We typically deliver wedding galleries within 6–8 weeks. However, we provide a sneak peek of a few edited images the day after your wedding.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes! We serve Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and beyond, including destination weddings. We have a full team in the Outer Banks, North Carolina too! Travel fees may apply depending on the location.
Can we provide a shot list?
No need to include a list of details to capture (the dress, the shoes, etc). We do work with you on a group shot list to make sure we don’t miss any photos you might want with the important people on your wedding day.
Do you edit all the images?
Yes, every image is carefully edited to ensure consistent color, tone, and quality. We do not provide raw files.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
We’re experienced in handling all lighting and weather conditions. We’ll work with you to find beautiful indoor or covered locations if necessary, and if you are willing to embrace the rain or snow, our gear can handle the weather (audio gear can not get wet as the microphones are not weather-sealed but our cameras and flashes are). We have captured two weddings in Nor’ Easters when the couple still wanted some photos outside.
Do you offer albums or prints?
Yes! We offer high-quality wedding albums and print options so you can preserve your memories in a tangible way.
How do we book you?
A signed contract and a 50% retainer are required to secure your date. Contact us to check availability and start the process! We do offer payment options to pay monthly leading up to the wedding date. All payments are due a month in advance of the date.
Wedding Videography Questions
Hidden
What is your wedding videography style?
Our films are cinematic, emotional, and natural. We focus on storytelling, capturing both the big moments and the in-between details.
How long are your wedding films?
We offer highlight films (4–7 minutes), full documentary-style films, and customized options based on your needs.
Do you record the vows and speeches?
Yes! We use high-quality audio recording equipment to capture vows, speeches, and key moments.
Do you include drone footage?
Yes, when the venue and weather conditions allow, we incorporate stunning aerial footage to enhance your wedding film. If your venue is in a no-fly zone, we can also submit an authorization request to the FAA. We cannot guarantee approval from them, but 90% of the time they will grant the request!
How long does it take to receive our video?
Final wedding films are delivered within 8–12 weeks. Every package includes a sneak peek teaser video, delivered shortly after the wedding.
Can we choose our music?
We select licensed music that fits the tone of your wedding film, but we welcome your input to ensure it matches your style. If you use reels on Instagram or Facebook, we can use your first dance song. Your video will be delivered with no music, and you can add it on when posting as a reel as long as the social media platform of your choice has licensed the music.
Do you work with photographers?
Absolutely! We coordinate seamlessly with photographers to ensure both photo and video coverage complement each other.
What’s your approach on the wedding day?
We take a discreet, documentary approach—capturing authentic moments while blending into the background.
