FAQ About Our Photography

--Our Albums
We offer modern designer albums. It is the latest trend in Wedding Photography where we lay out and design the album according to your preference. These albums are all arranged and retouched before being sent out for printing. We send you a pdf file like the samples in our GALLERY through email on how the final album will look. Upon your confirmation, the larger files will be sent to the lab for printing and binding. Though modern, we still use the traditional way of printing, done only on professional paper and chemistry. We carry all leather albums and colorsto choose from. Upgrades are available with Wrap Around Image cover design, Barndoor Style, Acrylic (hard plastic with designer image) etc.

Of course, you will look better and will be satisfied once you receive them.

--How long before we get the albums?
Well, it depends how long you will enjoy your honeymoon. The sooner we recieve your selections the better. It takes 3 to 4 months of design, printing and binding

.

Saves both of us precious time for doing what has to be covered. We make sure not to waste your precious time, so you need not to worry and enjoy your special day.

--What is your style?
Style depends on our clients. We balance traditional and modern approaches in our photography. Experience is the key and also the knowledge of what our clients want. A few years ago when digital cameras came out, tons of inexperienced photographers advertized themselves online as photojournalist. Now ,we hear stories from my clients how none of the regular portraits were taken and most of the candids were blurry and eyes closed. We leave the decision to you.

Not at all. We have traveled as far as Hawaii. We sometimes require you to pay for our travel expenses depending on how far the location of your event which is fair.

Tough one, but why not! Visit us and we will see what you need so we can figure it out. Often we offer specials but if you call us, then we might have one for you. My advice is book early to get the most out of your budget. Unless you come, then you'll never know what your getting.

We understand that not everyone is the same but we can provide something that you desire. The packages will help you get near an estimate. Our packages are customizable, just let us know. We are always happy to help you get what you want.

FAQ About Our Video

--What Video Format do you shoot?
We offer both widescreen 16:9 and 4:3 standard definition format. We are also able to shoot High Definition widescreen cameras to capture your special day in all its cinematic glory like the movies you watch. This will take advantage of your latest LCD and LED screen you and your family have. Our equipment are unique and custom designed for specific shots that will require more creative look and feel on video.

--What are the differences between the two formats? Why?
Quality. We enjoyed Standard Definition for quite some time. Now, High Definition is the key to modern videography and capturing moments to the next level of quality. However, we still deliver both formats so you will be able to use your legacy equipment. Depending on your choice coverages may include Stedicam shots, multiple angle shots and microphone setup. We also consider the amount of people and equipment to do each and every job. There's a lot of choreography to plan and to make each every shot seamless so in the process, your suggestions are required.

--I’m concerned about lighting. What do you do about that?
Lighting is essential with any quality related to video. Most churches are opposed to lighting the place. We have to respect any holy places we shoot and follow what is required. Though professional cameras can shoot in low light situations grainy video will result. We try to soften the grain when we edit. We use lights at the reception strategically located in key areas and we make sure not to irritate your guest.

--What make you different from other?
Its our passion to create and do our work seriously. We innovate equipment to make shotsunique and creative. We take great lengths to make it unobtrusive and candid as possible. We work as a team and learn from every wedding that we shoot. We look for great ideas and open to comments and suggestions from clients. And most of all, exceptional camera work and editing.

--What other video services you offer?
On your wedding day video presentation. We can do an MTV style video shown at the reception. Shots are from the brides house and ceremony cut into one song. For the past years we have been doing this and the response is great especially from out of state guest and relatives who can get a copy of the DVD immediately. Even for those people who missed the ceremony.
