Frequently Asked Questions
What is your style?
We've been told our work is natural, joyful, cinematic, timeless, and fun.
How many have you done?
We have photographed over 400 love stories since 2013!
So how does this whole thing work?
We have a simple 4 step process:
Check out the packages + fill out the couple questionnaire.
If we’re a good fit, we’ll reserve your date with a signed digital contract.
We’ll be by your side finalizing details, then celebrating + documenting.
You’ll receive your collection of abundant photos.
How long will I have to wait to see my photos?
We say 3 months, but typically your full wedding gallery will be delivered around your 2 month anniversary and an engagement session gallery around 1 month.
How many photos will I receive?
For a typical wedding day, we deliver around 50-100 photos an hour, anywhere between 350-1200 edited photos total. This depends on the amount of hours, how many photographers, and the type of celebration. We'll take out any photos with awkward blinks & repeats, but we'll never hold back on memories (or funny blooper moments, heheh).
Will all the photos I receive be edited?
Yes! Every photo you receive has been hand-edited by us, one by one.
What is the "online gallery" that is included in your packages?
The online gallery is a private online website that contains your hi-res photos for you to download. This can be accessed by you & anyone you'd like to share the link with. This is also an easy and fast way to order prints, canvases, thank you notes (or you can just download the hi-res files and print where you please). Here are some examples of finished online galleries we’ve delivered: Millwick Wedding, Superstition Mountain Wedding, Ebell Wedding.
Will there be a watermark across my face in the photos I receive?
Absolutely not. You will receive the high-res digital files with no surprises/fees later to receive your photos.
Do you photograph formal family portraits at weddings?
Yes. These are typically done before or directly after your ceremony with your immediate family. We’ll also shoot the cute candid moments that happen in between, those are our favs!
What do you wear to weddings?
Sometimes some fun socks, but besides those, we like to blend in with the guests. Typically this means we wear formal dark tones. We’re also always down to dress the theme or requested colors. There are some photos on our about page that show what we look like at weddings (the more casual looks are from engagement sessions).
What is the rate for travel?
If the location is between 30 - 150 miles from DTLA, the travel rate is $1 per mile round trip. If the location is over 150 miles away, rates may be customized to cover transportation + lodging.
Do you have business insurance?
Yes, yes, definitely. If your venue needs a COI, let us know & we'll send it over.
Do you have an opinion on timeline?
Yes! We really strive for you to enjoy your wedding day feeling relaxed & having fun, and the best way for this to happen is to prep with a solid timeline. We'll collaborate on a timeline with you & your coordinator so your day flows smoothly & you receive everything you want. It’s important to us that you enjoy your day, so we make sure to plan ahead of time to make that happen.
How / when do I book you?
To reserve us for your date, we do a contract signing + a retainer fee. We accept all major credit cards, and you can choose how many payments you prefer (1-10). This can all be done digitally through email to keep things simple or in person over coffee/drinks. Typically couples book us anywhere between 6-14 months out, but we’re also down for a spontaneous 1-week notice.
How do I ask another question that’s not here?
