The FAQ
Where are you based?
I live in Quito Ecuador, it's my home.
How do we book you?
Easy! Send me an email and see if your wedding date is still available. If it is and you are happy with my packages, then I will send you out a deposit invoice and a contract to sign. Thats it! Super easy. Oh, and I am more than happy to catch up for a coffee and a chat anytime!
Can we meet you before the big day?
We sure can. I love to meet all my clients before the wedding. If that is not possible because of distance, then Zoom is always a great option.
When will I receive my photographs?
You will expect to receive your slideshow and all the images around 4 weeks after the wedding. If you have ordered an album, it will take up to 1 weeks for printing after it is complete.
What do we receive?
You will receive the images that I have carefully selected, edited and finished (approximately 600-1000 images). The photos will be sized for print, so you can print your photos as many times as you like. They will also be resized for social media and email. So you can share your images as soon as you get them. If you have ordered an Album, I will work with you to make sure it is exactly how you want it. It can be ready just weeks after you receive your photos.
How do you shoot so many weddings in such beautiful locations around the world?
I book most of my weddings from word of mouth. I make sure I put in 110% into every wedding so I can continue to book amazing clients.
Wedding blogs and magazines help me out a lot as well.
I don’t think a wedding is about the location though, its about the people and its about the love they share.
We don’t really like wedding photos where the couple are posing and forcing the smiling in every photo, We like the natural cand
I feel the same way. I wont be making you smile for every photo. In fact you won’t notice that I am there for most of the day. When it comes to the couples portraits, I can give enough direction so you feel comfortable and not to much so you are still looking very natural.
Do you prefer flash photography or natural light?
I love natural light! Natural light helps preserve the real mood and feeling at the wedding. I love using the light that I have to make the best of a situation. Of course I use flash when it gets too dark at night.
I want some of my photographs to be exclusive and not used on the website. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Your private web site is a password protected area. Everything can be private if that is what you wish.
When do I have to pay the whole amount?
The outstanding amount is due at least 1 week before the wedding date. I can also help with a payment plan.
Do you shoot with a second photographer? Or do you ever have an assistant?
Most of the time I use a second shooter. It depends on the size and complexity of the wedding.
During the day, there are moments that happen at the same time, for example the bride and groom preparations separately, or when the guests are at the cocktail time and we are doing the couple session.
No problem, everything is covered!!
Have you ever cancelled a booking or not shown up to a wedding?
Never ever ever! And I plan on keeping it that way. If for some reason I really could not shoot your wedding for what ever reason, I do have a backup plan for that situation.
Can I purchase an Album after the wedding day?
Yes of course! You can purchase an album at any time, that includes parent albums. A lot of my clients order their album for Christmas or on their first year anniversary.
