you got questions? yo, we got answers.

foreword: this is totally just sara writing all of these.

Q: Sara and Mat? Do you guys both shoot and edit?
A: Heck yes we both shoot! And our shots are very different — I can always tell his apart from mine when I’m going through them in post processing time without looking at the file names. This ensures lots of variety for you guys, and Mat’s work is all fresh and creative and stuff. As for the editing part, Mat likes to tinker, but I’ve been doing this a long time and I *love* sitting at a computer screen for hours on end (and snacking, all the snacking) whereas Mat would rather be chopping wood and/or fighting bears to keep his 8-pack hard and his biceps poppin’. So in the interest of keeping things consistent and relatively time-effective, I do most of the post processing.

 

Q: WHEN WILL WE GET OUR DAMN PHOTOS, GUYS?

A: short answer: anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months, depending on my workload at the time of your wedding and depending on general life. trust: I don’t *like* keeping people waiting.
long answer: your glorious photos will be ready as fast as I can possibly get them ready, keeping in mind that i put a lot of freaking work into them. like, a lot. many many many hours.

 

Q: If you shoot our wedding, how many photos will we get?
A: Short answer, “a lot”. Longer answer… well, it is common for us to deliver well over 1000 photos (like, WELL over). For the sake of covering my own ass though, in case for whatever reason a particular wedding actually doesn’t contain a lot of really “special moments” and there’s just a lot of standing around eating, you will get at least 500-600, which is actually a typical delivery number among most wedding photographers. HOWEVER. Like mentioned above, it’s common for us to deliver two, three, or four times that amount. I’m really really bad at throwing out photos just because the image isn’t perfect, or doesn’t look like a work of art on its own. We all like different photos for different reasons, and I know that sometimes what other people view as a beautiful picture of me I’ll view as the ugliest. For this reason, I deliver basically every picture in which there’s something going on. I’ve never had anybody complain about having too many pictures, other than to say, like, “ok but how will I choose a profile picture now? God DAMN you, Sara.” I’m ok with that. I will also probably move the pictures i take of Mat’s butt while at your wedding (it’s the greatest manbum I’ve ever seen) to my own personal collection, unless I get a sense that you guys love him that much in which case I will let you have those as well. warning: you will probably love him that much. expect butt photos.

 

Q: How does booking you for a wedding work? What’s the process?:

A: Here’s how it goes down:
1) you send us a message from the contact page, telling us your wedding date and location.
2) we’re all like HAY let’s meet up! because meeting is important. we set up a date to meet.
3) we meet, we love each other because you already read through our website and got a feel for who we are so you KNEW what you were getting into and loved it which means you’re cool which means we love you back.
4) you go home to “talk it over” even though you’ve already decided you want us
5) you tell us you want us
6) you give us $500
7) we put you in our calendar.
