F & Q

 

 

1. HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO WAIT TO RECEIVE MY PHOTOGRAPHS?

On average, I will provide you with a final set of photographs after 100 working days. Just after the wedding I send you sample photos ( Sneak Peek) so that you can share them with your loved ones. The exact period of delivery depends on the season. Waiting time for an engagement session varies between 14-60 working days.

2. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

  • authentic

  • nostalgic

  • candid

  • cinematic

  • phantasmagoric

When photographing love it is impossible to direct, impose or know the effect in advance. I love the fact that each wedding is different. It translates into a challenge for me - to tell each story in a new, fresh and unique light. My style is a mixture between fine-art, cinematic, documentary but also fashion, editorial.

3. HOW TO BOOK?

If you already saw my pricing and like everything that you have read so far the next step is to lock in your wedding date with me. We can organise a catch up, in person or over video call. You can ask any questions that you may have, get a feel for what it will be like working together and decide if you would like to proceed with the booking. There is zero obligation to book during our catchup, so no presh! I want you to feel comfortable and confident in your booking.

Once you decide, you will then have to pre-pay a part of the total fee in order to confirm your booking. So everything can be done online. The date is saved once I receive deposit payment ( for weddings it is 1000 euro).

4. WHY DO YOU NEED WEEKS FROM THE SHOOTING TO THE DELIVERY?

All the photographs I take are raw files when I download them into my computer. A raw file is basically a file containing unprocessed data, the digital equivalent to a photo negative: in fact, exactly like a photo negative,  they need to be developed. This is why I need time to develop your wedding: my images come from both my shooting and my editing style, and I take my time to be sure I give you the best possible result via precise selection and postproduction.

5. WHY ARE YOU WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?

Because I can create something that you will look back at until the very end of your life and each time it will awaken your emotions once again.

6.  DO YOU WORK ALONE?

My personal choice is to shoot alone. For the safety reasons and variety of frames I have two cameras always with me. I appreciate this discreet and personal attitude. However a second professional photographer might give a different perspective. So if the couple wants I can come with an additional photographer for the wedding, as you will receive a higher diversity of images. For example, if bride and groom have their preparations in two far locations this is particularly advisable. Also if you have more than 100 guests second shooter can be a good choice.

I also offer the service of associate photographers that belong to my team. I suggest this option if me as a main photographer is unavailable, or maybe my packages are out of your budget.

An associate photographer is a photographer who shoots weddings or sessions on behalf of me, but the images are still edited by me -head photographer in order to give them the look and feel of Fotomagoria brand.

This ensures the consistency between associates and the main photographer. Basically, you get the similar service when you hire associates, before and after the wedding. The only difference is the person who takes your photos on the wedding day.

7. IN CASE OF WEDDING CANCELLATION, WILL WE GET OUR DEPOSIT BACK?

Unfortunately no. Keeping your date saved means to me that I refuse all inquiries that come to me from other potential clients in the same day.

8. DO YOU DELIVER ALL THE IMAGES YOU CAPTURED?

No I don’t. After loading all material onto my hard disks, I spend hours and hours on a very careful selection. I remove shots with missed focus, with people having unflattering face expressions, eyes closed, duplicate images, and all the rest that I find not good enough. If for some reason you want to have all RAW files from it is considered as an additional service and has an additional price.

9. HOW MANY IMAGES DO WE RECEIVE FROM OUR WEDDING?

It always depends on the length of the event, but also of the number of your guests and locations involved.  

10. DO YOU WORK INTERNATIONALLY?

Absolutely! I photograph weddings all over the globe and this is one of the reasons I love to shoot weddings. If you are thinking about having a destination wedding, get in touch and let's work out the finer details.

11. Do you photograph same-sex weddings?

A million times YES! LGBTQQ IAAP no matter how you identify, no matter how you define your relationship. I would love to be a part of your wedding day.

12. Do you shoot elopements?

If you and your partner want to run off and have a private ceremony, just the two of you and possibly nearest and dearest, then I would be honored to document your intimate ceremony. Get in touch to learn about my elopement packages starting at 3h coverage.

13. CAN YOU PRINT MY PHOTOS?

I would love to print your photos. You can easily order photo prints through your online gallery.

14. Do you ORGANISE CLIMBING ELOPEMENTS?

Oh yes!!! I love hiking & climbing to remote places in the high mountains. I collaborate with certificated guide to protect us or if you need some climbing, hiking lessons before your special day adventure. The hiking gear is not a problem. I have my own gear and we can rent a gear for you. No problem if you also want a helicopter ride as a part of your elopement timeline.

15. WHAT HAPPENS IF DISASTER STRIKES?

This has never happened and will NEVER happen. However, if it would, I have contacts all over the world that will be able to step in. These are other talented photographers who will take good care of you.
