Yes

No

Yes

I typically bring 2+ professional camera bodies with a variety of lenses and flashes. Tripods, reflectors and other additional equipment is also taken to the location.

I also bring along my studio lighting. The studio lighting is then available for formal portraits, along with adding some background light at a reception. I also bring along a video light, for creative lighting.

I bring along my laptop and monitor, all files are downloaded to my computer before I leave the location. If the client desires, a slideshow of the days photos can be run on the monitor at their reception.

YES!

I have packages that offer both hourly or complete coverage rates.

Yes, additional hours added to a package are at a rate of $150/hour.

I typically only stop to eat while everyone else is eating.

Yes, for locations more than a 1 hour drive from my studio

Approximately 2 Weeks after the event.

5x5 Printed Proofs, with the option of a custom covered image proof box.

My clients keep their printed proofs. They are not required to return them.

Yes. Legally all photographers retain the copyright for their photos. It is up to the photographer whether or not he/she will issue a "use license" for the photos. Please see my answer to whether or not I provide the digital files for more details.

Yes, but I also respect the wishes of my client if they prefer I do not.

<font face="Bradley Hand ITC">No. But the files are archived indefinately by my studio. In addition, my contract states that in the event I decide to close my business the files will be made available to the client for archiving purposes.<br><br>

I do provide 5x5 printed proofs to the couple in addition to an online gallery. There is something special about being able to hold the prints in your hand and see them on photographic paper.<br><br>

My clients are paying for professional services and they deserve professional prints, and a professionally designed album. I use one of top professional labs in the industry for my prints. My computer is calibrated to my lab, so I know that what I see is EXACTLY what I will get in a print. When files are sent to a consumer lab (i.e. Costco, Longs, Walmart, etc.) their computers run an automatic color correction program on all of the files. This will alter any color corrections made by the photographer. My clients deserve to have their wedding photographs printed by a professional photo lab, not a discount 1 hour photo lab.<br><br>

Too many photographs are put onto disc and never printed. We have a generation growing up that won't be able to look at mom and dad's wedding album, because the photos were never printed. <br><br>

Although I do not provide digital files for print to my clients, I do provide images for them to use on the social networking sites, such as Myspace, Facebook, etc. And for use with a digital frame.

Yes.
