Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you based and where do you shoot?
We are based in Tuskegee, AL, so our natural stomping grounds are Auburn, Montgomery, and occasionally Columbus, Ga. We also we have studios/homes in Birmingham and Mobile and spend a time working in either location, so we serve the entire state. We shoot 75% of our weddings in Alabama, and we do not charge any additional fees for Alabama weddings; however, we’ll go anywhere to capture your special day.
How long will you stay at our wedding?
As long as you need us. All our packages include 10 hours of coverage, and you can expand them up to 14 hours should you desire.
Do you charge extra for travel?
Weddings in Alabama never have additional fees for travel.
Weddings outside of Alabama but within 100 miles of one of our locations also do not have additional fees for travel. This would include some locations in Georgia (Atlanta and Columbus and parts thereabouts). If you are more than 100 miles from one of our locations, we add the cost of travel and accommodations if required. If you are a destination wedding there are additional fees as we typically arrive a day early to accommodate any possible travel mishaps. We’ll do our best to keep expenses to a minimum.
How many photographers will there be?
Our weddings never have fewer than two photographers. We have Bryan as our primary photographer focusing on you and one of our photographers as a secondary to shoot details and guest pictures. This gives you an excellent spread of those special pictures you want yet still captures everything that happened.
How many images will I receive?
We will give you all the images from your wedding, individually edited to the Eleven 11 Release Standard (you can see a live example what and how we edit at the blog post here) - minus duplicates and the ones of you blinking or looking weird. There is no set quantity of images but when I look at our historical evidence the smallest number of pictures a couple has gotten is 506 (very small wedding), and the largest number was 1,362 (very large wedding and 12 hours of coverage).
How will I receive my photographs?
First, we'll send you a sneak peek gallery with up to 24 pictures that contain all the highlights of your day. You can post and share this wherever you like. This gallery is digital, and we add the gallery to the same website you’ve been using to interact with us. It is fully password protected. After that, we'll send you your full gallery - also online and password protected. All your images are high resolution with print rights, and you can download them directly from the gallery once you’ve met any outstanding obligations to us.
You can also add a thumb drive delivery to any package and we will send your images on a thumb drive.
When will I receive my images?
If we don’t have a wedding the day after your wedding then your sneak peek gallery will be posted the next morning. Otherwise, it will be delivered within 48 hours of your wedding. We like you to be able to go through some of the pictures with your friends and family before they head home. The rest of your pictures will be delivered within 14 days of your wedding – at least that is what the contract requires.
The truth is since 2016 we’ve done over 150 weddings, and every one of them has had all their images completed in 48 hours.
