FAQs 

How do you deliver photo galleries? All photos galleries are sent to you electronically through Pass Plus Galleries. This is a user friendly site where you can view, download, or print your photos!

How long will it take to get my photos back? For WEDDINGS, it will be 4-6 weeks before the full final gallery is done. But you will receive a preview of ~50 photos within 24-36 hours! For regular sessions, turn around time is 2 weeks.

How do you recommend printing my photos? There are a lot of great websites out there! I recommend Artifact Uprising as they have the best quality I’ve seen. If you’re looking for a more budget friendly option, Parabo Press is great or even Shutterfly! Be aware that with the cheaper options (i.e. Walgreens and Walmart) you'll likely have color correction issues that will change how the photos look.

Do you require a deposit? For WEDDINGS, I require a non-refundable 20% retainer fee to be paid upfront to lock in your date. The remaining balance is due two months before the wedding. All other sessions require a 50% deposit up front with the remaining 50% due two weeks before the session. Payment is due in full up front for sessions booked closer than two weeks to the session date.

Will you bring a second photographer to all weddings? Having a second shooter is an add on option for all wedding packages. A second shooter gives you the benefit of more angles of photos and can help move along the photo process as we divide and conquer group photos. It’s also helpful if you’re getting ready in separate locations from your fiancé. I recommend second shooters for weddings of 250+ guests. To add a second shooter onto your wedding package is $50/hour.

Do you travel? Any venue outside of Pittsburgh incurs a mileage fee dependent on the national average per mile. If flying is required, clients are required to cover the flight to the event, two nights of lodging, and any transportation fees (car, Uber, etc.).

What if I want the RAW files for my session? I do not release RAW files to clients. (RAW files are the photos straight out of camera pre-editing). RAW files are very different than the finished product. There is a lot of editing a manipulation that can go into a photo (not always, but sometimes). Things like distractions in the background that I remove, color correction, exposure correction, cropping, and so much more. RAW files aren’t a fully true representation of my work. Photography is an art and RAW files are just the beginning of the process!
