1. Do you provide a
guarantee? We absolutely guarantee that you will
be thrilled with both your photographs and our service to you. You
will probably have friends and relatives commenting at your wedding
about how nice the photographer is and how easy he is to work with.
You will be thrilled with how we represent you and your family at
this important day in your life. Then, you will be thrilled with the
images we create for you, and with the completed Art Book. If not,
we will do whatever is necessary to see to it you are thrilled. And,
if we can not thrill you, then of course, we will refund all your
money. It's as simple as that, although we have never had this
happen in our 24 years of servicing brides and their families.
2. What is the difference between
traditional photography and photojournalism?
Although opinions vary on this subject, traditional photography
entails interaction between the subject and the photographer to
obtain beautifully-posed images, whereas photojournalism simply
means documenting your event through photographs with very little,
if any, direction by, or awareness of, the photographer. We include
a mix of both styles.
3. What is
Pictage? Pictage.com is our on-line image
display partner.
4. Do you offer
B&W? Yes. Although we shoot everything in
color, you may choose to have some or all of your images printed in
B&W, or even sepia tone, which is the old-fashioned look. The
B&W and sepia prints are the same price as color.
5. How many photographs are taken at the
wedding? There is no limit to the amount of images
taken, and it depends a lot on the length of the wedding and
reception, but approximately 80 images per hour.
6. Is the high-resolution
CD included? The high-resolution digital
files with copyright release are available according to our price
list.
7. Will you photograph the
wedding yourself or assign one of your
staff? Unless otherwise noted, I will photograph
the wedding myself, along with an assistant who helps with
lighting.
8. What is your payment
plan? A retainer of $800 is required to reserve
your date. An additional amount may be due two weeks before the
wedding. Balance is due upon your approval of the album
design. If you approve a design which exceeds your original
budget and you'd like to spread your payments out, a credit card can
be used for up to 10 equal monthly payments.
9. Why is professional photography so
expensive? Like anything else, you get what you
pay for, so prices vary greatly between photographers. Keep in mind
as you make your decision, the photographer’s experience and
style…would you prefer someone who presents you with 200 images that
are all posed, or would you rather see the variety of real moments
and emotions that are captured through a blend of traditional
photography and photojournalism? A good portion of the expense is
the time and effort we expend to professionally crop, color balance,
remove blemishes and glass glare, tone down shine, soften lines,
whiten teeth, darken the edges of an image to highlight the subject,
or hand-tint the flowers in a B&W image. This attention to
detail is extremely important and time consuming. We spend
approximately 10 hours after the wedding improving these
aspects.
10. Do you have any recommendations
for other vendors? On occasion, we are asked to
provide reciprocal links to other vendors' websites and are happy to
oblige.
 WeddingLenox
helps engaged couples find wedding vendors offering the
best wedding photography packages, wedding decoration, DJ, flower,
musician, catering and planning services all in one place.
And last, but not least… 11. What is
the difference between Nelson Photography and other
photographers? Quality and value. Most
photographers settle for a single, on-camera flash to light their
photographs. While this may be fine for some situations, a
multiple-light system like we use can help to create candids with a
three-dimensional look that appear to have more movement and action.
If you're looking for something special, something that will make
the difference between beautifully-posed portraits with ordinary
lighting and those that look like an experienced professional
portrait photographer shot your wedding, choose Nelson Photography.
You'll be glad you spent a little extra on the most important part
of your wedding...your photographs!
