F.A.Q.

As a wedding photographer and having shot over hundred weddings in LA and OC areas, I have dealt with hundreds of brides and grooms and wedding coordinators who have brought up their questions and concerns to me. I have compiled a list of FAQs below to help answer some of these usual, but all very valid questions, relating to my services as a wedding photographer.

What are your rates?
It all depends on the following...
  • Date: I need an exact date
  • Location: Los Angeles is huge and I need to know where the event will be exactly
  • Number of Hours: How many hours are you booking?
I ask all these questions because a June or July wedding does not cost the same as a December or January wedding. At the same time two hour wedding on a Saturday is way more expensive (hourly rate) then an 8 hour wedding on a Sunday. Therefore, I customize my prices to suit my client's needs and budget.

How many pictures do I get?
UNLIMITED: I don't count as I shoot. I constantly shoot. I capture everything I see. You'll get hudreds of good pictures. However, not every wedding is the same. For example a full day wedding with 150-250 guests and 12+ hours of wedding coverage will produce 1000+ pictures. A small intimate wedding with 40-60 guests will produce a lot less pictures.

How many weddings have you shot?
I do roughly 30-45 weddings per year. I started doing photography in year 2008 and my first wedding was in year 2010.

How would you describe your photography style?
After I get my traditional shots done I start getting creative and then I start doing my photojournalism. People love how I capture emotions in a candid and photojournalistic style.

What distinguishes your work from that of others?
Quality, Quality, Quality, and of course my friendly, funny and relaxing attitude.

On this website are all of the images yours?
Most picture are very recent and some could be a few years old. Majority are my own images. However, there are images that were taken by some of my associates.

What type of equipment do you use?
I use only Canon cameras, but my inventory of equipment has various brands of lenses, flashes and triggers. But overall I'm a Canon guy.

Can I give you a list of specific shots we would like?
Absolutely, in fact I encourage brides to do so since this way I know what they are looking for, which helps me do my job better.

How will you be dressed?
On a typical wedding day I wear slacks, dress shoes, and a dress shirt. For small events and photoshoots I am a bit more casual. However, YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME IN SHORTS AND/OR FLIP-FLOPS.

Do you provide retouching and editing services?
Typically I touch up all the image that will be delivered, which includes exposure, contrast, white balance and cropping of the images. Then after the clients go through the images the might have a few pictures that they would require more details editing. That includes things like removing hair and blemishes on the skin and more.
