Your Soundside package has limited availability, what are the limitations? The Soundside is not available on Saturdays from April - September. This is due to the limited number of dates during the peak months.
What is a Newlywed Session? This is a complimentary portrait session, that can be used anytime in your first year as a married couple.
Do I need a Bridal Portrait/ Engagement session? Both of these sessions are a good idea for several reasons. It allows the couple and the photographer to have a chance to work together before the wedding day, and it offers a much more stress free environment that your wedding day. Bridal portraits are often displayed at the reception, and engagement portraits can be used for newspaper announcements etc.
Can I give you a list of shot that I would like? Of course, we're here to capture the memories of special your day. We will do our best to accommodate all reasonable requests. Keep in mind that a larger number of posed shots will take up more of your scheduled time.
What if I need more time on my wedding day? We can stay as long as you need, we only schedule one wedding per day. We make a very effort to get everything you need into your package time. Additional time is billed by the hour or part of the hour @ $300/hr. Due at that time.

Do I get to keep my proof album? Yes, the proof album is yours to keep, it will include 4x6 size photos of all of your edited images.
When I order enlargements, how long will it take to receive them? Most orders ship to you within a week. Some items, large canvas prints for example may take a little longer.
