This is your very special day. We want you to live it and enjoy it to its fullest. The last thing you would want is a photographer bossing you around or blinding you with flashes. Of course, there will be some required formal group shots. We will capture these simply, quickly and without fuss, but for the most part, we will attempt to remain as inconspicuous as possible.

Ahead of your special day, we will usually organize an informal engagement session. We welcome and encourage your creativity and playfulness. Sessions can be organized in a park or urban setting. If there is a place that is dear to your heart, that speaks to who you are, we can meet you there, have fun and create memorable images that you will cherish forever.

On your wedding day, we will usually start with shots of the bride dressing with the help of the bridesmaids, friends and sisters. If timing and location permit, we can take a few shots of the groom and best man as well. We will then move on to the church, temple, synagogue, town hall or celebration venue ahead of the ceremony, to take a few shots of the location and be prepared to welcome friends, family members, bride and groom as they arrive.

Our work is done almost exclusively with near silent cameras and bright lenses, allowing photographs to be captured mostly in natural light, very discreetly and with minimal disturbance to the wedding ceremony.

As the day unfolds, we will work with you in a friendly and unobtrusive manner, blending into the background, capturing memorable, spontaneous images filled with natural light, feelings and emotions.

Details, portraits, candid shots, flower girls, funny faces, tears, hugs, laughs, rings, kisses … we will build the story of your day one unique image at the time, for all to remember.

For each event, the number of images will vary greatly depending on the duration of the photo session, the number of guests, the light conditions, etc. For a typical event, you should expect between 70 and 150 retouched and color corrected images.

We will always attempt to post a few “teaser shots” on your personal gallery the very next day after the event. You can start sharing these images with your guests while the joy of the party is sill in the air. We will then spend a few days selecting, retouching, color correcting and enhancing all images. A week or two later, we will have all images loaded onto your personal gallery, ready for viewing, sharing and printing.

Yes! Some photographers will hold you hostage forever and will never release their high-resolution files. Some will only provide watermarked samples in low resolution. Some will provide files that can't be enlarged beyond 8x10. Some will prohibit you from posting images on your personal blog or Facebook page. We don’t play these games. While, we ask you to print your first set of enlargements with our professional photo lab, you will be provided with professionally retouched digital images in non-watermarked, high-resolution format suitable for future printing, framing, social media sharing, web posting and archival.

Prints are extremely important. Even the best images can look dreadful when improperly printed. In consideration and respect to the quality of our work, you may request we print for you at an additional cost depending on the package. We do these prints and enlargements through our professional photo lab partners.

Enlargements typically require 5 - 7 business days for delivery. Photo books and photo albums require 4 - 6 weeks for production, printing and delivery.

Absolutely! Depending on the event and the number of prints and/or enlargements, we will provide you with a 10% - 20% discount on all your prints. This discount will apply to all your prints as well as all prints ordered by your friends or family members.

Feel free to post images on your Blog, Instagram or Facebook page. Of course it is always appreciated mentioning our name when publishing images on line. It is a nice gesture, but certainly not an obligation.
