Wedding FAQs
If you have any questions, please feel free to consult this list of frequently asked questions. If your question remains unanswered, you may e-mail me.
Q.
Is an album included with my wedding package?
A.
Yes. All packages now include one proof/preview album. Additional albums are available, and vary widely to match all personal styles.
Q.
Are the negatives included with my wedding package?
A.
The Eternal Memories wedding package includes the negatives. All other packages allow 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.
Q.
Do you like shooting weddings?
A.
Yes. It's wonderful to work with people on the happiest day of their lives. I try to provide everything the bride and groom could want photographically.
Q.
How does a 35mm camera system compare with Medium format?
A.
Advantages of 35mm cameras include faster operation, auto-focus capabilities, less expensive equipment (therefore the photographer can afford more lenses and accessories), hand-holdable shooting. Advantages of medium-format include larger negative for a larger print size (above 16" x 20") with less grain.
Q.
What type of film do you use?
A.
Generally color negative 35mm film 36 exposures per roll. Upon request, I can shoot black and white, high speed, or any other type of film desired by the bride and groom.
Q.
What equipment do you use?
A.
I have a Pentax system with 3 camera bodies, and 8 lenses ranging from 18mm (wide angle) to 300mm (telephoto).
Q.
How much experience do you have?
A.
Over 75 weddings, in the cities of Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, and Apple Valley to as far as Manti, UT, Seattle, WA, and Oakland, CA.
Q.
Do you use an assistant?
A.
Yes, whenever possible.
Q.
Do you mail your film to the lab?
A.
No. I use a local pro lab where I personally drive to and drop off and pick up my work. Saving a few dollars is not worth the possible headache and heartache of lost film.
Q.
Do you have backdrops?
A.
Yes, but they rarely get used at a wedding. Part of telling the wedding story is showing the location. Please consult me regarding your location to see if you will need them.
Q.
How often do you have your equipment cleaned and serviced?
A.
It is serviced as often as necessary, and I do a thorough cleaning prior to every event I shoot.
Q.
Do you carry a back-up camera?
A.
Yes, always. I have several pentax bodies, so the lenses and accessories are interchangeable.
Q.
Do you double book?
A.
Rarely. One wedding typically occupies my entire day. If I do, the wedding times will not interfere with each other, and both parties are consulted prior to doing so.
Q.
Do you work with other wedding specialists?
A.
Yes, I can refer you to DJ's, cake decorating specialists, catering services, florists, and many other services. Please call for a referral.
