FAQ — Classic Wedding Photo in NYC
-
Our classic wedding photo package covers the entire day — from preparation to first dance (or agreed duration). You’ll receive 300+ fully edited high‑resolution photos in a private online gallery. RAW files are not included by default — because we prioritise delivering polished artwork. If you want all RAWs, we can include them as a custom add‑on; just let us know when booking.
-
Yes — we’ve shot dozens of weddings across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and the NY metro area. We know the quirks of NYC venues: limited natural light in some halls, strict equipment/flash rules, tight spaces, and access limitations. This experience helps us plan shoots smartly, avoid issues and catch the best light even in tricky conditions.
-
Absolutely. We believe transparency builds trust. After booking (or on request), we’ll share full galleries from past weddings — not just hero shots — so you can see how we handle different scenarios, lighting conditions, group shots, and emotional moments. That way you know exactly what to expect.
-
We come prepared. We carry backup cameras, lenses, memory cards, batteries, flashes — all duplicates. We’re fully insured and will provide documentation if needed. In rare emergencies (like illness), we rely on a network of experienced associate photographers in NYC to step in and ensure your day is covered. Your memories are never at risk.
-
We work closely with you (and your planner if you have one) to build a realistic timeline: prep, ceremony, portraits, group photos, reception. We communicate with vendors — officiants, planners, venue staff — to align timing. Our goal: capture key moments smoothly, with minimal posing time, so your day remains natural and enjoyable.
-
es — we’re used to NYC weather and shifting conditions. Overcast skies often give beautiful soft light; a little drizzle can add mood; for indoor venues we bring lighting equipment. We scout backup locations if needed. Our experience ensures that regardless of weather, your day will be beautifully documented.
