Do you offer traditional wedding photography, wedding photojournalism, or both?
     I generally work with a more photojournalistic approach, but I also work with the bride and groom to include a number of traditional or formal
     photos.

Do you offer special image editing such as black & white, sepia toning, hand coloring, etc? Are these services included or do you charge a fee?
     I do offer special image editing services, which are included in all print orders. Proofs include only minor exposure and color adjustments.

Do you offer unlimited coverage for the day of the wedding?
     All of my wedding packages include a full day of wedding coverage.

Do you work with an assistant?
     I do work with an assistant for all of my standard wedding packages. My assistant also acts as a second photographer during some parts
     of the wedding.

Do you have an additional photographer available if I want two photographers to cover my wedding?
     I have partnered with another photographer for a couple of jobs, but generally I work on my own or with an assistant. If you are interested in
     having two photographers cover your wedding, please let me know as soon as possible.

How far will you travel without an additional fee?
     I do not charge additional travel costs to locations within 100 miles of Seeley Lake, including Missoula, Kalispell, Helena, Glacier Park, etc. I
     will travel worldwide to any location for the cost of travel (airfare or driving costs) and hotel.

Do you charge a fee if the wedding and reception are in different locations? What about a third location for bride & groom photographs?
     I do not charge any extra fees for shooting in multiple locations during your wedding day.

Do you offer an online proofing gallery that is accessible to our family and friends?
     Yes, your online gallery will be available for viewing by you, your friends and your family for one year from the date of your wedding.

Do you offer proofs and photos on CD or DVD?
     Yes. All of my wedding packages include high-resolution proofs on DVD and I include a print release so you have the ability to print your own
     photos rather than order prints from me. Keep in mind that proofs are color and exposure corrected but no retouching is done unless you
     order prints or retouched digital images from me.

If your packages aren't what I'm looking for can I customize a package that will fit my budget.
     I will work with you to customize any of my packages to fit your needs.

Do I get to keep my proofs?
     All of my packages but one (Package A) include proofs for you to keep. You may choose to have your proofs as 4x6 images in a custom-
     designed images box, in a hard- or soft-cover proof book, or a spiral bound proof book.

What type of camera do you use? Do you have back-up equipment in case anything goes wrong with your main equipment?
     I use a Canon 5D Mark II digital SLR with a 21.1 megapixel sensor, which is capable of producing beautiful prints up to 30x40 and larger. I do      have backup equipment available, including camera, lighting equipment, batteries, etc.

Can my guests take photos while you are taking photos?
     I don't have a problem with your guest taking photos while I am working, however, keep in mind that you are paying for me to provide you
    
 with professional-quality photos and there are times, especially during the formal shots, where guests taking photos can interfere with my
     lighting and distract the subjects, which can make the process of getting your photos last much longer.

How long will it take to receive my proofs?
     I generally aim to have your online proof gallery available within 3-4 weeks of your wedding. This may vary depending on the time of year of
     your event. During the off-season it may not take as long. Your DVD and proofs will usually be delivered within 2 weeks of the completion of
     the upload. This may seem like a long time, but keep in mind that for every hour that I spend at your event, I will spend 4-5 hours in my
     studio going through your images, choosing the best images, color and exposure correcting and uploading.

Do I have the right to reprint my photos or do I have to order prints from you?
     I include a print release with your digital images so you do have the ability to print your own photos rather than order prints from me. Keep in
     mind that proofs are color and exposure corrected but no retouching is done unless you order prints or retouched digital images from me.
