What is your photographic style?
I have been first and foremost a photojournalist for 22 years, 12 years at the Philadelphia Inquirer, and with Getty Images for the past 8 years. My approach in wedding photography is the same documentary syle that I have used in my career in newspaper and magazine photography in that I capture moments as they happen.


Do you shoot Black and White or Color?

All images are shot in Color, but can easily be converted to Black and White.
You can't make a Color image from Black and White. So, it's better to have the image in Color and decide afterwards if it would look better aesthetically as a Black and White image.
Do you do formal portraits?

Yes.
I will shoot formal portraits of the bridal party as well as candid photos of the bride and groom enjoying their day.
Can I give you a shot list?

Yes. If there is anything specific that the bride and groom would like photographed it is helpful to have a shot list or itinerary of how the day will progress.
It helps me know where and when to be in place to make certain pictures of the wedding or reception.
How long will you stay if I hire you for a full day?
Most packages allow for an 8 hour day.


Do you bring an assistant?
Generally I do not bring an assistant unless I deem it necessary.

If a wedding consists of more than 150 guests I may bring an assistant and a second photographer if requested.

Is there a limit on the amount of photos you shoot?

No. The object is to visually tell the story of your day. I don't place any limit on how many images it may take to accomplishthat goal.
I've shot weddings in which I've made 500 images, and weddings where I've made 2,500 images. This generally depends on how long the wedding and reception last, and how many picture possibilities I see. I shoot anything and everything.
Say you shoot 2,500 images, how many will we get?

All images will be placed on DVD if you've ordered a package that includes a DVD and most of my packages include DVD's. Although, I generally edit the images down a bit by getting rid of any unacceptable images, i.e. out of focus or under exposed.|
Will you help me find a good lab to print images from the DVD?
I'll glady recommend a good photo lab for you to have images from your DVD printed.
What photo albums do you offer?
I offer a few different brands of photo albums.
What is the turnaround time for receiving my pictures?
Pictures are generally available for viewing on my wesbite within 48 hours of your wedding and reception. Prints take about 2-3 weeks and albums take about a month.
Do you shoot film?
No. I haven't shot film in 7 years. At this point I believe the quality of digital imaging is far superior to film.
How much of a deposit do we need to book you?

To book me you need to deposit 1/3 of the package price.
Please note that I can accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover cards.
