Frequetly Ask Questions

Are you available for our date?

1We try to compliment all of our clients. We have a team of 4 wedding photographers to cover either our 1 Wedding photographer or 2 Wedding photographers packages.

The best way to find out is to email or call us directly to see if we are available for your day. Then the next step is to schedule an appointment to interview us in person.

Keep in mind that if you’re interviewing other potential photographers we don’t guarantee that we’ll be available if you don’t get back to us soonest, another client can interview us and book us on the same day you’re getting married.

To make it fair for all of our clients, who ever leaves a deposit and signs our formalized contract is guaranteed that we are booked but we offer 2 other wedding photographers that may be available for your day.

Our services are covered in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas. Please contact us to schedule an appointment in the Los Angeles area or at our office.

Can guests take pictures?

2This is a very common question in the Los Angeles areas. Yes your guests can always take pictures. What we do ask for is that guests are not interrupting our job where we may an important shot. Many times guests like to stand right next to us to capture the exact same shot. We need to be able to move around freely and we do ask guests politely to move a distance and many to understand. As your wedding photographer, we take our job very serious and professionally. We will ask guests politely if they need to move or not to be too close to use because their flash, for example, may cause a blow out in your photo.

We do ask ahead of time if you have another wedding photographer or a regular photographer taking pictures as well so we are prepared to work in an organized manner where we’re not interrupted and able to catch the photos that you paid us for.

The majority will be in color yet those photos can be converted into your preference to black & white and sepia.

Our wedding gallery has the ability to view your photos into black & white and sepia as a viewing. There is a special icon per photo where you can convert the photo in the different color formats. All wedding photographers should have a gallery to give this viewing flexibility for their clients.

Seeing these magazine clippings gives us more of an idea in what style you would like. We do our upmost to capture the exact same poses or concept. We try to copy similar poses from your samples or make the photo concept a lot more creative.

Why hire just one photographer when you can have 2 at an affordable price and have more photos to choose from. More is captured especially when in comes to having a variety different artistic angles and expressions.

The price is really not that much of a big difference when you hire just one wedding photographer. The difference in cost can be up to $200-$300.

To capture the best quality of a photo and have the ability to fully edit a photo with all the processed data is shooting in RAW. Shooting in JPG looses a lot of data and cannot be fully manipulated.

Planning your special day takes a lot of time, work and effort to have everything flow perfectly. Don’t wait to the last minute (2 – 3 months before your event) to book just any wedding photographer who is available. You may book someone that you didn’t really like but had no choice and booked an average photographer. Plan ahead and take the time to research and interview all your potential vendors.

What if the weather is bad?

25No one can control the weather even do the forecast tells you that there is no chance of rain or strong winds. That is the challenge in wedding photography to deal with unforeseen weather, yet we keep a positive attitude for our client.

In our experience in wedding photography we prepare ourselves and our clients to have a “Plan B” in case if we get bad weather on the day of your wedding. For example, if by the week of your event we see that it will rain then we advice our client to take umbrellas and choose a location indoors to take their formal photos. In advance we can call the location/venue where your formal photos will bee taken and see if they can accommodate us to have photos taken away from the rain etc. We also assist our client to look for an indoor location in the Los Angeles surroundings areas like a formal Hotel.

Our wedding photography services are covered in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas. Please contact us to schedule an appointment in the Los Angeles area or at our office.

What is the first look?

27The first is when the bride and groom see each other for the first time before the ceremony. The couple arranges with their wedding photographer a time and place where they capture the expressions when the bride and groom see each-other for the first time.

This happens when the schedule doesn’t allow much time after the ceremony to have your formal portraits taken because it may be that right after is the reception and so the couple arranges for their formal portraits to be taken before. This is truly a precious moment and as your wedding photographer we give you suggestions how to have these photos taken to capture that amazing moment when you get to first get to see your bride or groom. This is very popular in the Los Angeles areas.

What is Trash that Dress photo session?

26(Unique Photography in Los Angeles)

What is trash that dress?
It’s a wedding photography style that is the opposite of an elegant atmosphere where the bride is comfortable to trash, another-wards, get her dress dirty to capture unique and out of the box photos.

This photo session is done days, weeks, months after the actual wedding day where a bride allows her dress to get dirty or wet, for example, at a beach where she is posing, running, splashing in the water. This is the most wedding popular photo session in Los Angeles.

Other photography locations where you can trash that dress in Los Angeles can include alleys, abandoned buildings, city streets, open field with dirt or wet grass etc. A bride wouldn’t mind about minor damages of getting her wedding dress dirty or tearing her garments.

Photography ideas of how to trash that dress can be consulted with your photographer, he/she will give you the best trash that dress ideas and where to have your photos taken throughout Los Angeles, the city of endless locations to take great photos.

What is your attire as wedding photographers?

28The popular attire we’ve seen in the wedding photography Los Angeles scene is wearing all black. Its classy, professional and we blend in where we don’t attract too much attention. We wear slacks with a nice dress shirt.

From experience we’ve seen photographers wear jeans, t-shirt with sneakers which make them look tacky / unprofessional / disrespecting the formality of a wedding. We have been complimented in our attire by looking and working very professionally.

As your wedding photographers we consult this with you to ask you if you prefer us to wear specific colors. The only exception where we might not wear black attire is in the summer. To keep cool throughout a hot day we normally wear light color formal attire. Again we consult this with our client to be sure they’re ok with that.

Our services are covered in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas. Please contact us to schedule an appointment in the Los Angeles area or at our office. We advice that you find out first if we have photographers available for your special day.

What is your Wedding Photography Style?

29Our wedding photographers carry a variety of the most popular photography styles that clients look for:

– Photojournalism
– Artistic
– Traditional
– Illustrative
– Candid

Our wedding photographers are unique with these photography styles, each talented with their artistic techniques that compliment any client’s expectations in what they envision for their special day. That is the beauty of our packages, we offer 2 wedding photographers where a client will receive more photos and a variety of the styles that is highly requested.

After booking us we go over in detail what you envision for your wedding to be sure we capture what you envision for your special day. You can tell us to use one or a variety of styles. Many for example don’t like traditional style where they don’t like to be posed and prefer Photojournalism where its natural and unexpected yet it comes out artistic. The most popular style that photographers use in the Los Angeles area is photojournalism.

Our services are covered in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas. Please contact us to schedule an appointment in the Los Angeles area or at our office.

What type of equipment do you use?

30Each wedding photographer has their own professional equipment and back up equipment for any unforeseen circumstances.

Each wedding photographer carries:
– Full frame camera worth $3,000
– 2-3 professional lenses
– Professional Flash
– Battery pack
– Either Canon or Nikon equipment. The best brands.

This is a very important question to ask your photographer. So many people can say that they’re a “professional wedding photographer” but have a simple camera that can be used for average photos that costs less than $500. Having a full frame camera is key.

Our services are covered in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas. Please contact us to schedule an appointment in the Los Angeles area or at our office.

When is the remaining balance due?

31Per our contract we require for the remaining balance be paid in full 2 weeks before your event. We give you the flexibility to make payments but as long as its fully paid 2 weeks before the wedding. This secures for your photographer to be present on your wedding day.

If you need your photographer to stay longer you can pay the extra hours cost on the same day of wedding or we can send you an invoice for the extra hours and you pay that balance within 3-4 weeks.

Our services are covered in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas. Please contact us to schedule an appointment in the Los Angeles area or at our office. We advice that you find out first if we have a photographer available for your special day.

Where should we have our formal wedding photos taken?

32There are so many possible locations where a couple can have their formal portraits taken. This is where we sit down with our client and help to give them suggestions in the possible locations depending where their event will take place.

There are so many beautiful parks with fountains, buildings and gardens where it may be free to take photos but most do require a permit. With our years of wedding photography experience we let the client know the best locations and our client visits these locations and finds about distance between locations and cost in permits. This has to be done ahead of time. Los Angeles, for example, offers so many beautiful locations that have parks, gardens, beaches, artistic buildings etc., it truly depends on what the client is looking for in what is in their budget to possibly purchase a permit for the day. The #1 thing to ask for is if it’s open to the public or if they offer wedding photography permits.

Our wedding photography services are covered in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas. Please contact us to schedule an appointment in the Los Angeles area or at our office.

Who Chooses Prints?

33Many have the interpretation that the average wedding photographer in Los Angles chooses the clients prints when in fact it’s the client who chooses their very own photos.

As your wedding photographer we do our upmost to give you the best photos and as much variety to choose from for your prints. We can give you suggestions but ultimately the client has the right to choose their own prints.

Another great advantage you have under your package is that we give our clients a CD with copyrights to print as many photos they wish for family and friends.
