Photography

1. What is wedding photojournalism?

   Wedding photojournalism is the art of telling the story of a wedding with photographs. It is photography of the real wedding as it happens, without staging or direction by the photographers. We will also make any requested formal posed portraits, though those typically make up only a small percentage of the day's photos.
   

2. Will there be any posed photographs?

   Yes, these are important for family historical purposes. The five important group photos for most weddings are: bride and groom, bride and groom with wedding party, bride and groom with parents, bride and groom with bride's immediate family (include any siblings and grandparents), bride and groom with groom's immediate family (include any siblings and grandparents), as well as any other requested poses photos.

   We don't usually make a record of every person in attendance, but please feel free to ask for photos of specific people and groups during the reception.

Videography

1. May I choose my own music for the video?

We will provide you with a questionnaire four to six weeks prior to your wedding date, giving you the opportunity to provide all of this information.
