Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

DO YOU SHOOT MORE THAN ONE WEDDING IN A DAY?
No, your day is your day. We are solely dedicated to you. We book weddings on a first come, first serve basis, so please schedule your day with us as soon as you can!


DO YOU SHOOT FILM OR DIGITAL?
Digital for 99%, Film for 1%, but it’s rare.


WHAT TYPE OF CAMERA DO YOU USE?
Big black ones that have “Canon” and/or “Nikon” emblazoned on them.


WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR CAMERA BREAKS DURING THE WEDDING?
We’re like boyscouts. We’re always prepared with backup equipment. We’ve attempted to pull a MacGyver and construct a camera out of a table cloth, cake knife, and bridal garter, but that was an utter failure.


HOW MANY HOURS CAN THE ESVY PHOTOGRAPHER COVER DURING THE WEDDING?
We can do as little or as many hours are you like. It really all depends on your package and your needs.


WOULD YOU GIVE US A DISC OF ALL ORIGINAL IMAGES?
Depending upon the package, yes, of course, they are your photos.


CAN YOU MAKE A PRINTED ALBUM? IF SO, WHAT WOULD BE THE COST?
Yes, we can. We actually prefer doing “coffee table” styled books as they give you more options and creativity with your designs and layouts. Plus, we take TONS of photos and many of them deserve a home in your album. Also, depending on the package that you select, we also work with a number of designers who can help you design/build your album.


HOW SOON AFTER THE WEDDING COULD WE GET A DISC WITH EDITED IMAGES?
We like to take our time in editing that photos, to ensure you’re getting the best quality. So we typically take between 4-6 weeks to email you the link to your proof gallery.


WOULD YOU WORK WITH A SECOND SHOOTER?
We have a long list of 2nd shooters that we can call upon for any wedding.  Whether or not we utilize a 2nd dedicated photographer will depend upon several factors, specific to your wedding.


DO YOU HAVE GUYS HAVE PACKAGES THAT INCLUDE ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS?
Yes, a number of our packages include at least one session outside of the weddings. And most couples use that session as an engagement photo shoot.
