So why are the prices so low?
In many cases wedding and special event photography professionals spend time after the event ordering the enlargements and assembling the album for you, which adds to the cost; sometimes the total cost is much more than you really had expected or want to pay. We have streamlined all of our business processes and have passed the savings on to you! There are no surprises. You receive the digital negatives so that you can make as many enlargements or copies as you like.

Frequently Asked Questions

                                            or What to expect when we work for you

• We are event photography specialists. Our style allows you to relax, enjoy your event and look your very best.
• We blend in so that your guests will not feel intimidated or harassed by the photographer.
• There are no hidden costs or surprises when the photographs are delivered to you.
• Of course, you keep all the digital negatives on a CD so that you can make as many reprints as you like.
• Most importantly, you can expect that we will do what we say we are going to do.

Can I pick the photographer I want?
• Some clients like to meet the photographer before booking, although this is not necessary we are certainly able to accommodate.
• Please keep in mind that the purpose of the meeting is to determine if you can get along with the photographer. The photographer's photo samples are on our website, therefore the photographer will not have sample books to show.
• Please note: the photographer will not discuss packages, costs, albums or any commercial arrangements.

What happens if the photographer gets sick or has some other unexpected problem?
• The photographer you hire for your wedding or special event is the photographer who will show up.
• In the unlikely event of sickness or other unforeseen circumstances, Special Event Photography will arrange for either or regular back up photographer or another professional photographer to photograph your event using the same approach and working under the same terms and conditions.

Does the photographer have back up equipment?
• Each or our photographers arrives at your event with back up equipment in case of unexpected problems.

Have you ever photographed a ______ wedding? (fill in the one that fits for you - Buddhist, Sikh, Same Sex, Hindu, Muslim, Orthodox, Second Marriage, Italian, Chinese, etc.)
• Generally speaking we have photographed just about every type of wedding. Of course there will always be new situations for us. However, the most important thing to remember is that we take the time to find out what is important to you.
• If we are not familiar with a particular custom that is practiced in your community, we listen carefully so that we can be prepared the day of the event. We then work hard to exceed your expectations.

How many images will be on the CD?
• Each of our photographers has a different style of shooting, some shoot more images than others. You can expect to receive between 175 and 800 or more images on the CD. Many of these will be variations of a pose.
• The images will all be colour corrected, light balanced by our digital imaging specialist and are "print ready". You will have the opportunity to select the images to be printed, depending on which option you have purchased. You can either print additional prints yourself, take them to a photo lab or have us print them for you. The choice is yours!

What does it mean when you say "colour corrected and light balanced prints, not proofs"?
• We shoot in digital output high resolution; print ready JPEG which can produce prints up to

20 "x30" poster size.
• When a studio gives you proofs, they are usually right out of the camera, when printed they can look too light, too dark or the colour may not be just right. You then pay about $15 for a 5x7 and $20 for an 8x10 to get a final "print" which is colour corrected and light balanced.

How long does it take to receive my prints?
• Within two weeks of your event, we will send you an email with a link to an on-line gallery where you can view your photos. You select the images you want printed. The files are then sent to a professional processing lab to be printed so that you are assured of very high quality results.
• Within four weeks of selecting the images you would like printed, your prints will be ready. So, if you select your prints without too much delay, you can expect to receive them in about six to eight weeks from your wedding or special event.

What type of paper is used used for the prints?
• The professional photo lab we use has the most current equipment and trained staff. They use a professional paper that is used by most professional photography studios.

Should I tip the photographer?
• While it is not expected that you will tip the photographer, it is always appreciated, especially if the photographer has gone our of their way to make your day special and has done some extras for you. How much to tip? There are really no rules or guidelines, however, if you decide that you would like to tip then $50 to $75 might be right. (But you really should not feel pressured or obligated.) It is certainly not customary or necessary to tip the owner of the photography studio if they are also your photographer.

Do you also do video?
• Yes, we can cater video production at your request, and we use 3-CCD dvcam.
• We are fully Non-Linear video editing capability equipment to output on DVD format.

Can I pay by credit card or check?
• You can pay by VISA, MasterCard.
• Of course, you can also pay by check.

Why do I need a schedule for my special event?
• Every event requires a schedule. This is a must regardless of whether it is an association golf day, your wedding or a company seasonal party. You don't have to rigidly stick to the schedule; it is a guide for your event.
• Start by listing everything that will take place during your event and do your best estimate how long each item will take. Review the schedule with others to see if you have missed anything. Share the schedule with the banquet hall, your DJ or band leader, your photographer and videographer and any other staff working for you. (A little secret - every professional event planner always does a schedule. Do a schedule.)

Do you shoot film or digital?
• Our practice is strictly to shoot digital only, due to convenient of Photoshop editing steamline.
