WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FAQ
.
What is your experience ?
I've been shooting since cameras had film. As a professional photographer for over 20 years, I've had the privilege of photographing hundreds of weddings and earned some of the industry's top awards.
What is your style?
My style is documentary, with a focus on candid moments, natural interactions, and the details of your wedding day.
When will we receive the photos?
My delivery deadline is two months.
I aim to deliver faster than that, but wedding season can get quite busy and it's important to set realistic expectations.
Once the images are ready, you will receive an e-mail with a link to your photos and all the information you need.
Can we print our images? Can you do an album for us?
I believe that the only thing we should be printing in the digital age is photos. I’ve seen the importance of a printed image, and I’ve seen catastrophic hard drive failures with lost precious memories.
That’s why I encourage you to print the photos you love most. You get all the high-resolution files, so you can print yourselves.
Of course, not everyone knows where to start with high quality photo prints. For some people it might be too complicated or too time consuming, which is why I would gladly help you with prints or albums.
Should we get a second photographer?
Short answer – yes, but it’s not a must-have. I always recommend a second photographer if it fits within your budget, regardless of the size of your wedding. A good additional photographer will bring more variety, different angles, as well as allow better coverage if your wedding day is split across multiple locations.
I work exclusively with photographers I trust and whose style matches my own in order to provide a consistent level of quality for all the images.
At the same time, wedding day options are infinite and budgets are limited, so if you can make it work in your budget, yes, I recommend getting one.
Do we need photos for the getting ready part of the day?
Ideally yes. Most of my clients are not professional models and might not be used to the camera. A few extra hours of coverage early in the day means that you get comfortable with me, but also that I get some nice extra photos of immediate family, loved ones or people who are super important to you.
If you get ready separately, it will be nice to see what your partner was up to before you get to the ceremony.
Do you do wedding photography in the Netherlands only or do you travel?
I am currently based in the Netherlands, but I’ve photographed weddings all over the world: France, Belgium, UK, Italy, Spain, Greece, Romania, Switzerland, Turkey, US, South America.
I also lived in 6 countries so far, so...yeah, I travel.
How do you ensure we still have great wedding photos if something unexpected happens?
I am part of an amazing community of talented wedding photographers who support each other in case of emergencies. I will do my best to find a suitable replacement if I get sick or have an emergency.
We'd like to work with you! How do we book you?
That's great to hear, thank you for your trust!
My booking fee is €300 and once we sign the contract and I receive payment, I will officially be your wedding photographer (yey!). Kindly keep in mind that the date is confirmed only after we've completed these steps.
READY TO START DOCUMENTING YOUR DAY? LET'S CHAT!
