FAQs
WHAT IS A PHOTOGRAPHY GIFT REGISTRY?
Today brides and grooms have often been living on their own. You may not need many of the items found on traditional bridal registries like dishware. A wedding photography gift registry can help you increase your budget for photography for your big day.
​
You may place a link for the gift registry on your wedding site or send out cards provided by our studio-telling guests about it. Gifts may be made in any amount (or currency). You will receive notification of the gifts along with personal messages from the gift givers.
Guests love the idea of helping you receive an album of your wedding day memories. It’s much more personal and way more practical than getting ten silver picture frames.
DO YOU HAVE SECOND PHOTOGRAPHERS AVAILABLE?
Coverage with a second photographer is available. If it’s appropriate for your wedding; size, logistics, budget, and etc. We can discuss that option in the initial consult. A second photographer can be a great addition to wedding coverage because it provides fuller coverage when multiple events are going on and a second angle and perspective on events.
We encourage the second photographers to be as creative as possible in their work. They are talented up and coming photographers.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET OUR PRODUCTS AND IMAGES?
A password protected online gallery will be available for you to share with family and friends after approximately 4-5 weeks after your wedding day.
