As many as I possibly can. Wedding Photographers have to shoot a lot of images to get the best and most beautiful of your day. I don't limit myself to how many photos I take. I am there for you and will continue to shoot for the length of time I'm with you.

Personality is crucial. You have to spend almost your whole Wedding Day with this person so it's important that your personalities click. Make sure you meet them at least once. Be prepared to ask questions and make sure you have some idea of what you're looking for. Don't be afraid to point out images in a portfolio that you like or don't like and say why. This will help the Photographer to determine what your expectations are.

I will go anywhere and have been all over. Mainly I service Southern Ontario but will travel anywhere throughout Ontario.

Unwavering dedication and commitment to giving you the memories you want from your Wedding Day. What I can honestly say is that I love what I do. It never gets boring for me and it never feels like a job. I gain inspiration from hearing the details about every new Wedding, meeting new couples and seeing new locations. Every one is a new chance to tell a story through my imagery.

Absolutely. I tell my clients that we can go to as many locations as time will allow. Don't forget to calculate travel time and just a hint... during planning make sure that the people who are needed for photos at another location, know about it ahead of time... when and where.

Yes, I do have a standard contract that states the Wedding information names, date, place and time. It also serves as a receipt for your deposit and further payment schedule.

To get the date and the Photographer you want it's necessary to book early, especially if you have a popular summer date. I think a year in advance is ample lead time.

I personally think that a backup plan in case it rains is a good idea. It's not going to be any fun scrambling for cover with Grandma & Grandpa and 34 others, without a place to go.

Your date will become firm in my schedule once a $500 deposit is made and the contract is signed. That said... I would encourage anyone to see as many people as they need to when planning they're Wedding. It is an important decision with a lot to consider. I would hope to hear back from you for a firm booking after you've spent some time meeting with others and comparing what we all have to offer.

I've come across this problem quite a bit and I think that most people are more afraid of looking bad in the photo. More often than not I've had people say that to me and they are actually very photogenic. The images have come out beautifully and all the worry was for nothing. The most important thing to remember is to relax and think of the day. You're getting married you should exude joy and happiness... leave the rest to me.

I have no problem with family and friends taking photos as long as they're respectful to the fact that you have paid me to perform a service that is on a timeline. The less delays, the better. I will let people know that I prefer they wait until I'm finished with a setup then they can snap away. Something to keep in mind is that it can be problematic with a lot of picture-takers, when the subjects of the photograph are looking at the mob instead of the Photographer.

One thing that will greatly help is to be relaxed and calm. It is your Wedding Day and you're supposed to enjoy yourself. Try to smile and be as natural as possible, especially if you hire a Photographer that shoots a lot of candid and documentary-style images.

You will receive your Wedding Album usually within 4 weeks of the Wedding Day. If you choose the Wedding Coffee Table Book instead of the Album it will be 5-6 weeks.

I am open to any suggestions you have and will do my best to give you the look you want in your images. Keep in mind that I will have a great visual database to draw from when I feel inspired to tell the unique story of you and your fiancé. The best work comes from good collaboration.

Generally speaking, this depends on family size, Wedding Party size and how far the photo location is. I wouldn't want any less than an hour and a half but no more than two and a half hours.

Proper storage is key to keeping your Wedding Album and Digital Negatives long lasting. It is suggested that the images be printed on Professional grade paper and stored in the dark. If your Wedding Album comes in a box, you should keep it in the box for proper storage. The high-resolution DVD should be copied every several years or you can store your images at an online storage bank.

A typical Reception Hall is going to have warm, romantic lighting. Unfortunately this is very dark and can be an issue for your Photographer. Even with the best on-camera flash systems an image taken is going to have the forefront subject lit and the background fairly dark. There are wireless flash systems that can be placed around the room that can help with this but will be visible to guests.
