Commonly Asked Questions

 

Below is a list of the most commonly asked questions and answers that I get asked on regular basis.

01

What type of photography do you specialize in?

We specialize in all types of event photography such as Birthdays, Baptisms Weddings, Sweet 16s, Quinceañeras, Family Reunions, Family Portraits and etc.

02

Who is my contact prior and during the event?

Franklin likes to personally call every client prior to the event or shoot for a quick chat, we believe personal service works better in person.  At the event the head photographer will be your main contact point and direct any second shooters.  Well advise who the head photographer is for your event during the pre-event phone call and emails.

03

How do we mitigate technical issues at the event?

Photographers have at least two professional camera bodies, several lenses and a multitude of accessories specific to your shoot. Well maintained equipment is very reliable these days so it is very unlikely there will be an impact to capturing great photos at your event.

04

Do you process the photos?

Yes, we apply all the standard color grading, cropping out distracting elements, tone and sharpness for you. We always curate the photos to our style which delivers you a consistent look and feel.

08

How many photos will I get?

It depends on what type of booking. Portraits and headshots will have less quantity. The larger the event and with a great number of hours booked the higher the quantity of photos. On average a 3-hour event will have approximately 220 photos

Yes, a secure archive is kept for 3 months just in case.

What happens if I lose my images after 3 months’ time?

After 3 months it depends on how much new data has been added to the archives so no definitive time after that. There’s a possibility we may still have a copy in our photo archives. But it depends on whether it’s just after a few months or years.
