Booking
We have initial discussion to meet your needs and expectations
• When we meet initial mutual understanding – we sign the agreement
• You are booking the service by transferring 30% amount of agreed fee
This fee is not refundable (its the date reservation fee)Planning & Preparation
We together discuss, plan and prepare:
• wedding day schedule, start/end time, rain/no-rain/back up scenarios
• define theme, props and locations for photo session
• decide on additional equipment and staff requirements
We need to put a lot of efforts into planning activities, to be sure to avoid unpleasant surprises on the wedding day.
Usually we do it in person or via Skype.
Photography Coverage
We do all photography coverage of your event from preparation till the agreed time. We split all day into several segments like:
• Preparation & parental blessing
• Arrival to Church
• Church
• After church friends greetings

If during preparation we have groom and bride in different locations and also in the Church – advisable a second shooter to cover more locations
If needed – additional lighting equipment and assistants will be involvedCulling & BackUping
