I have downtime between events on my wedding day. Will I be charged for that downtime?
For a variety of reasons, we have to charge for the time in between events. Depending on what session you book, your time may be limited. The fact is, we’re never truly resting during the day, whether we’re backing up images, setting up for the second venue, traveling to the second location, taking venue shots, or making up for lost photo time because of unforeseen wedding day delays. In many cases, we use that “downtime” to take you and your significant other out for a photo session or more family portraits.
If you would like to not worry about how many hours in a day you have me for i suggest to book a Platinum all day wedding package
When can we expect to see our photos from our session?
Post-production for engagement sessions are completed 4-6 weeks after the date of the shoot.
Post-production for weddings are 8-12 weeks.
Post-production for family sessions , casual & lifestyle is 2-3 weeks.
Post-production for senior sessions is 2-4 weeks.
When should we do our engagement session?
We encourage you to do your engagement session as soon as possible. The latest we suggest is at least 10-12 weeks prior to the wedding date due to the time necessary to post produce each image and complete your product order(s). See the engagement session post-production delivery time and engagement session product delivery time FAQ’s for more details.
Where and how do we see and access our images?
Every session booked with Kept Moments Photography will include a online gallery where you are able to access all your images. From your gallery you can download images to your phone or home computer. You are also able to purchase prints and share your images to social media. After your images are ready for you i will send you a email that will include access to your gallery and your gallery password.
What rights do I have to the digital prints?
You have the right to reprint images whenever and wherever you want. However, you may not sell your images for profit or publish your images without my written consent
Do you provide the RAW files from my engagement session and/or wedding day?
Each of our packages comes with a full resolution image download. However, we typically do not provide RAW (unprocessed) files from our shoots because we believe in delivering a finished product. In fact, we’re often shooting with the end (post-produced) product in mind.
What if I lose my images?
Your online gallery will eventually expire. You may come back to your gallery as often as you like. Once it is expired ( 6-12 months after your wedding) your photos will be gone from my access. You will receive a gallery expiration warning email before your gallery is gone forever. We strongly suggest you make at least one copy of the download when you receive it from us.
Do you back up our images? How can we ensure that our images won’t be lost?
We have never lost an image from a wedding due to the following backup workflow for each our events:
During the event, we shoot on two cards at the same time. This instantly creates a backup of every image in the camera. Afterward, we separate the primary cards from the backup cards, should anything happen to one set. We then back up the images to a local server set up in a RAID 1 configuration, as well as copy them to an offsite hard drive. At any given point before delivery of the images, there are two copies of the files in separate locations.
Do you have liability insurance?
: Do you have liability insurance?
Yes. Many venues require the photographer to have Liability Insurance. So before hiring Uncle Joe, make sure he’s covered.
We’re very busy and won’t be able to meet. Are there any other options?
We would love to meet with you prior to our engagement shoot or wedding; however, if you’re too busy or too far away, we can handle everything remotely. Just let us know what information you need and we will do our best to accommodate your request. For example, if you would like to see more of our work, we can gladly show you complete events online. If you would like to talk about packages and get a sense of the photographer’s personality, telephone calls, and webcam appointments can be arranged.
If we cancel the wedding, will we receive our retainer/deposit fee back?
Unfortunately no. Retainer/deposit fees are used to reserve your date. Once we’ve reserved your date, we do not accept new clients for your date.
If we change our wedding to a different date, will we be able to use our retainer fee towards a future date?
Generally no, but this is taken on a case by case basis. The reason for canceling and our availability is taken into account. Also, if rates change from your original date to your new date, the new rates will apply.
