Wedding FAQs

Q. Are the digital files included with my wedding package?

A. Yes. I archive the images to DVD for you to have, edit and print.

Q. Do you like shooting weddings?

A. Yes. It's wonderful to work with people on the happiest day of their lives. I do my best to provide everything the bride and groom could want photographically so that they can remember their special day forever.

Q. What photography equipment do you use?

A. Tools are best judged by their functionality and how they allow the professional to work. I have use Nikon, Canon, Sony and othe brands, but am most comfortable with the Pentax system, having used several film bodies over the years, and now use digital equipment. Lenses I own range from 10mm (fisheye) to 300mm (telephoto), and can borrow/rent others as needed. With a 2x doubler and the 1.5x digital crop factor, I have the equivalent range of 15mm to 900mm, allowing a huge range of possibilities.

Q. What computer equipment do you use?

A. I built my own PC a couple years ago, and make upgrades as needed. I'm presently running Vista on my primary computer, but have also used the 64-bit version of Windows XP and past versions. I favor open source tools, and rely on Gimp, FastStone Image Viewer and other tools. Digital image editing is easier with my Wacom graphics tablet and large widescreen monitor.

Q. How much wedding experience do you have?

A. Since 1994, I've enjoyed photographing weddings for hundreds of clients primarily in Southern California, Utah, Washington, Nevada and elsewhere in California. Have a look at some of the highlights here.

Q. You photographed my wedding several years ago. Do you still have the negatives?

A. The Eternal Memories wedding package included the negatives. All other packages allowed you to purchase the negatives for an additional fee. I store all negatives for future re-orders and enlargements, so if you decide to purchase the negatives two years after your wedding date, I will still have them.
