Have you ever worked at my wedding site before? If not, do you plan to visit the site in advance?If we have not worked at your location previously, we may or may not be able to visit the site in advance due to schedule and time conflicts. In general, we do arrive at the venue early to assess the site. We are well trained technically to handle any style or situation.

You will need to schedule your exit at least 15 min. before your 8 hours ends.
Is it okay if other people take photos while you're taking photos?Yes, we ask that they do not stand in front of the photographers and that they not take the attention away from the photographers.
