and t-shirts are acceptable for weddings. We stick to a corporate professional all black dress code, this allows us to keep
professional, the mobility to capture your images while blending in with the crowd.

lenses and flashes. We always come with extra’s of everything from batteries to camera bodies.

sometimes due to reasons out of your control, your wedding may be delayed slightly. Ask if they are willing to stay overtime
to ensure you get the amount of coverage you envisioned. We never leave before your image wishlist is captured.
…
7. DO YOU WORK WITH AN ASSISTANT? ~ Weddings are a very fast paced for photographers. Having an assistant to hold
lights & reflectors, as well as set up equipment is essential so that the photographer can work quickly and not miss any

personality should be a major consideration when it comes to choosing your photographer. If you get along and click with
them, they will be happy to be at your wedding. The less photographing feels like work, the more relaxed you feel and fun
you have on wedding day. The better the relationship the better the images.
