Question 1

Who are you, and who will be photographing our wedding?

Accepted Answer

We’re a three-person team: Andy and Gillian Bemont, and Carly Straight. You can read more about us and how we work together on our Team page.

Question 2

How does pricing, booking, and payment work?

Accepted Answer

We keep things simple. We offer one primary wedding photography package, book with an online contract and deposit, and handle payments electronically. For all the details, see our Pricing page.

Question 3

How would you describe your photography style?

Accepted Answer

We aim for the most beautiful possible representation of reality. We don’t want people to look at your photos and think “what a great photographer.” We want them to think “what a beautiful couple” or “what a great moment.” Our focus is on honest moments, natural expressions, and images that feel like your day actually felt.

Question 4

How many hours of coverage do we need?

Accepted Answer

We always provide at least 8 hours of coverage, which is plenty for most weddings. If you think you might need more than 8 hours, we can always add time. That said, longer days are often unnecessary. You don’t need hours of getting-ready photos, and late-night dancing photos eventually start to look the same no matter how fun the party is.

Question 5

Do you help with timeline planning?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Whether you want help building a timeline from scratch or just want a final sanity check, we’re happy to help. Even if it takes a ton of back-and-forth, it’s worth it to have a day that actually works and feels relaxed.

Question 6

What happens if the day runs late?

Accepted Answer

Then it runs late. And that is fine! Time management is one of our strengths, and the first thing you should not worry about is photography. We can adjust quickly and still get great images in a condensed timeframe. If you want to avoid stress altogether, the best solution is generous padding in the schedule. A little breathing room makes the whole day feel easier.

Question 7

How many photos will we receive?

Accepted Answer

Around 600 images is very typical, but it varies. The biggest factors are how long we’re there, how activity-heavy the day is, and how lively the dance floor gets. Last year our galleries ranged roughly from 450 to 950 images, with most landing in the low 600s.

Question 8

How long does it take to get our photos?

Accepted Answer

We guarantee delivery within 30 days and usually deliver sooner, often within 2–3 weeks. We don’t like work piling up, and you don’t like waiting.

Question 9

Will we receive high-resolution images and printing rights?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You’ll receive high-resolution files and full personal printing rights. You’re free to print, share, and enjoy your photos however you like. You can also order high-quality prints directly from your gallery.

Question 10

Do you give direction, or is everything candid? Will you make us do awkward photos? What if we’re bad at being in pictures?

Accepted Answer

It’s our job to make your pictures good. And while we’re hands-off most of the day, we’ll take charge during portraits and family photos. Lots of our couples say they’re “terrible at pictures” and their pictures look good. Yours will too! We work well with reluctant grooms who wish there were no posed pictures at all. We are efficient and we are not sappy, so photo-haters won’t feel like they’re being dragged around on an endless activity they hate. They’ll feel like they’re knocking out a task that is easier than expected.

Question 11

Do you actually enjoy weddings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, genuinely. There are parts of every wedding day that could use a fast-forward button, but overall the weddings we photograph are an uplifting break in a world that can feel short on joy. We love seeing dads cry, old people showing up an hour early because this is the most exciting day of their year, manly groomsmen fussing over each others’ ties, that one mousy bridesmaid who turns out to be absolutely unhinged on the dancefloor. It’s not why you hire us, but we are your wedding day buddies. We love keeping you relaxed and laughing, and we love saying goodbye knowing we did our part to make your big day a success.

Question 12

Are you going to be up in our business all day?

Accepted Answer

No, we tend to use longer lenses and keep a polite distance. Wide-angle shots have their place, but we’re generally not going to be right next to you. This is a stylistic choice. Standing back with a longer lens is more beautiful, and that’s our passion. We mix it up a bit, especially on the dance floor, but we’ll usually be at least ten feet from you.
