Common Questions about the proccess
How long does processing take?
On average Complete turn around for all wedding collections takes approximately 1 months. A comprehensive sneak peek will be generated immediately following our time shooting with you (whether that’s your engagement session or the wedding day). Exact timing for final collection will vary; however, this relates primarily to how far into wedding season we are at the time of shooting.
Do you travel?
We happily work all over the lower mainland and on Vancouver Island and beyond! If you are planning a wedding on the island or in a location that will require us to have an overnight we do have a very minor flat travel fee that we apply.
Will you scout locations for us?
I check out and research locations that I think would work well for you, and make suggestions based on that. When scouting
What is different about a Full Session from a Mini-session?
A Full Session is a longer length session that produces more photos for you to use than a mini-session. Pro Sessions give you more time to have different “looks” (e.g. outfits, poses, backdrops, etc.) than mini-sessions.
What are your payment options?
We happily accept payment in the form cash, e-transfer or cheque. Whichever method is most convenient for you works perfectly for us! We collect a 30% retainer at the time of signing your coverage agreement and the remainder balance anytime up to and including two (2) weeks out from wedding date
How long are engagement sessions?
On average engagement sessions last anywhere from 1.5-3 hours depending on location (including travelling and adventuring). We wont need to shoot for the whole day, but this gives us the flexibility to take advantage of the best light and work with whatever Mother Nature has in store for us that day. We will always encourage shooting in the later half of the day so that we can catch the beautiful sun setting.
How long have you been doing photography
I’ve been a photographer for over 8 years!
How long will my photo gallery be online?
Typically, online galleries are active for at least 90 days, but if you need it online longer, just let me know and I can extend the gallery expiry at no charge
What size digital files will I receive?
We prepare all of our work in two formats. Firstly, you will be provided with an official Isle + Oak USB (they are pretty awesome and made of wood) which will hold all your high resolution JPEG files ready for printing, framing, album making (you name it!). Secondly, we prepare for you a personalized and private online gallery which holds gives you the ability to download your files both in high resolution and in an online format.
Do you offer wedding albums?
We sure do! We are fortunate to work with a couple of amazing companies that allow us to create truly unique albums that are designed to last. Albums can be added to absolutely any package we offer and they are 100% customizable and are honestly worth the investment!
Do you sell albums or prints?
Of Course!! It’s an absolute honour to see my work printed and I would love to help you make that happen! Send me an email at yashar@localhost to inquire about pricing.
Why do I have to pay a retainer with my photo booking?
A retainer (i.e. non-refundable deposit to reserve an appointment time) is required to hold an appointment time for you. We get a number of requests for appointment times, and have to turn away clients if a specific time is already booked. If someone were to book an appointment and cancel just hours or minutes before their scheduled session, we would have no way to fill that appointment time on short notice.
