WILL I GET MY FULL-SIZED PHOTOGRAPHS?

With my wedding packages, I give my couples (I hate the word, 'client'!) all their full-sized wedding photographs without any unsightly watermark on top!  I don't require that you purchase the photos afterwards. 
And as for not liking that 'client' word, most of my couples become good friends- I'm taking to you Stefanie and Ralf- who have had me to their home in Hamburg, Germany!  How very kind, and that's the kind of connections I love to make. :)

WILL YOU HAVE SOMEONE IN INDIA EDIT MY PHOTOS?

I went to one of the most ruthless schools for photojournalism in the country, Ohio University, where I have my master's degree from, proudly!  Our professors made sure no one ever got out of that school with a degree who couldn't edit their photographs without the upmost precision and professionalism.  A trend that's popular right now are wedding photos with a dark, moody kind-of filter.  The problem with that is that might not be the style in a year or so, totally dating all of those photographs, imho.

WHAT KIND OF CAMERA GEAR DO YOU USE?

I use only the top-of-the-line, full-frame sensor Nikon cameras and lenses, of which I have back-ups of everything, just in-case.  I also love and use an antique Diana camera from the 1960s, a 1945 Rolleiflex and a 1962 Hasselblad film cameras when I go on vacation.  Just because.  ;)

WHAT DO YOU WEAR TO A WEDDING?

I get this question a lot!  I only wear classic black pants and shirts or a classic black dress below the knees to a wedding.  I try to match the formal nature and dress with the upmost respect and honor that people should, attending a wedding.  Except when I shot a same-sex, pirate wedding on a the Bay in a beautiful, old schooner.  For that wedding, I was requested to come dressed as a pirate.  And I did.  :)

DO YOU HAVE AN ASSISTANT?

I would NEVER trust an assistant for your wedding day!  I have only three other photographers I will work with if a couple requests a second shooter.  These three I use each have over 20 years experience as a photographer, as do I.  I would never have someone who didn't absolutely know all the in's and out's of a wedding day.  It's way too important to use a novice.  

WILL YOU ADD SALES TAX?

Most of my packages and the photographs I will pass onto you are all digitally transferred, and since nothing tangible is changing hands, no tax is incurred, per the State of California.  More fun for the honeymoon, yay!
