cannot make it to my wedding?
Ans: The only reason I wouldn’t show up for your

will be at your wedding. I am a member of
Professional Photographers Society of NY; this means I have many pros just a phone call
away should someone need to step in.

you?
Ans: I book very quickly and I cannot hold open a

accordance to the formality of the wedding.
32. How many photos
are taken at the wedding? The reception?
Ans: This depends in part on the coverage you choose. I
am more concerned with covering your day the way it should be than how much film I'm
using.
33. How long do you stay at the
reception?
Ans: If you choose my 6 or 8 hour coverage I will
stay until time runs out. If you choose
unlimited then I will stay until everything you need photographed has been taken.
34.
When do we have
to choose what album and extras we want?
Ans: Right now there is a 10% discount if you
choose your album/albums when you book your coverage, otherwise any time after you get
your proof CD is fine.
If I have forgotten
anything please ask!!!
