I don't live in the Lansing area, do you travel?
Absolutely! However, any traveling outside of 40 miles from where we are located may incur a travel fee of $.50/mile. Inquire about out-of-state travel. What should I wear? What should I expect? A well styled shoot is highly important. This is why we offer a phone consultation upon booking. The weather looks horrible on the date of my photo shoot, can I reschedule? Rescheduling is always an option. There will be no rescheduling fee if the reasons are beyond what you can control (weather, health conditions...). If a photo session is needed to be rescheduled, contact us as soon as possible as our calendar gets full very quickly. If you have to reschedule due to other reason, there will incur a $25 rescheduling fee. All wedding photo sessions are exempt from this category. What are the retainers (deposits) for the photo shoots? Are they refundable? For all weddings, we require 10% as a security retainer at the time of booking to secure that date. For all other types of photo shoots, we require half of the total amount at the time of booking. The balance is due at the date of the service. - No, the security retainers are non-refundable. If a circumstance outside of your control (i.e. bad weather, death in the family...) prevents the photo shoot from happening, we will be more than glad to reschedule, or to apply the dollar amount paid to a future photo shoot. A $25 rescheduling fee my incur for rescheduling a photo shoot for personal/other reasons (weddings not included). Please Contact Us if you need to reschedule or cancel your wedding. Do you offer any other services besides photography? Not at this time. What is the turnaround time with the images? Images are made available one week from the session date unless otherwise notified. This does not apply to weddings or other larger events. I need extra hours at my wedding, do you offer that? Absolutely! As long as we are available, we charge $350/hour for any extra pictures that you might want. Notification is not required, just let us know that day. I have a million questions about my wedding, are we going to meet before my big day? Yes, and this is very important. We offer a consultation with each bride (and hopefully groom) at the time of the booking, followed by a phone call one week prior to your wedding to solidify all details. I want to print the images on the DVD, can I do that? Yes, and you have a few options. Included in each package is a Photo Release Form which entitles you to print all of the pictures you would like. If that seems like a bit too much, we can always put together a print-package for you. |
