Frequently Asked Questions

These are the most frequently asked questions that we get from almost
every couple shopping for wedding services.

What kind of camera equipment will be used? 
We use Canon professional cameras and we carry backups of everything just in case there is a malfunction. We are well aware of the fact that there are no re-shoots at weddings.

Who will actually be taking the photos at our wedding?
For Oregon weddings, Glen will be the primary photographer and there may be at least one other photographer/assistant to help out. For Destination weddings requiring plane travel, Glen is the sole photographer and there is no second photographer unless you specifically request it - see below.

If you choose one of our Associate packages for an Oregon wedding, then you will do your initial interview with the Associate that will shoot your wedding so that there are no suprises or substitutions.

Can I get a second photographer?
If you wish to have a second photographer present at your wedding, we can arrange that as well. The cost ranges from $500 - $1500 depending on the location. The benefit of having a second photographer is that you will have two sets of eyes and two different creative minds working together to capture your wedding from every possible angle.

Are there any "hidden" costs in your wedding packages? 
Absolutely not! Our photographic services are geared to provide more than enough time and people to complete the job with excellent results.

How many images do you take?
The number of images varies according to the wedding. Smaller weddings with very few events will get roughly 800-1000 while larger weddings with many events throughout the day, might range from 1200-2000 images per photographer. This is before editing. During the editing process, roughly 1/4 of the images will be deleted. If you hire a second photographer, the numbers will roughly double. Please note that we take pictures of everything that we see that we think might be interesting to you, however, we cannot guarantee any certain image or any specific numbers of images.

Are albums included in the price for your service?
We do not include albums as a standard part of our service. Instead we include the image disks which gives you many options such as creating your own album, having someone else make it, making digital slideshows instead of an album, or just printing the images at your local photo lab. If you decide that you want a really nice album, we will work with you and a graphic designer to create a truly stunning album layout. Find out more about albums here.

Can I make my own prints?
Yes, you will own "home use rights" to your images which means that you can do pretty much anything you want with them as long as it doesn't generate any income for yourself or the people you give them to.

What do past brides have to say about your service and personality?
As a bride, one of your biggest concerns about hiring a distant photographer is how this person will behave at your wedding. Glen has a friendly and mellow, yet outgoing personality that quickly sets people at ease.
