TURNAROUND TIME
You will get your photos back within 6-8 weeks from wedding date. There's an expedited editing option available for $300 to have everything delivered within 10 days of your wedding date.
HOW MANY PHOTOS?
I generally make a pass or two through the photos and remove any obvious outtakes first (i.e. eyes closed, hair in face, etc.) but otherwise you get pretty much all the photos from your wedding day keeping in mind that shorter weddings will naturally produce less photos and longer weddings will come with more.
IMAGE DELIVERY
Images are delivered via an online gallery where you and your guest will be able to download the images and order prints for up to 1 year. See gallery examples.
EDITING STYLE
Vivid, balanced, minimal, timeless. I work through and color correct all the pictures to make sure the grass is green, sky is blue, shadows, highlights, and the skin tones are just right. I also do basic beauty re-touching (blemishes, flyaway's, etc.).
HOW MANY HOURS OF PHOTOGRAPHY DO I NEED?
If you need help deciding how many hours of coverage you will need, check out J Amado Photography's awesome wedding day photography timeline guide.
WATERMARKING
All purchased photos come un-watermarked.
CAN I BUY RAW/UNEDITED FILES?
Yes - RAW files are available for $500.
LQBTQ friendly?
Love is love. <3
DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?
I require a $500 non-refundable deposit to reserve a wedding date and guarantee that your date/time will not booked over or advertised for to any other potential clients. This retainer is non-refundable, however it does go toward the total amount due. The reason for this is because this time is being held and reserved which could have otherwise been booked.
WHEN IS THE REST OF THE PAYMENT DUE?
The rest of payment beyond the $500 non-refundable deposit is due in full by midnight the night before the wedding date.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
I do offer payment plans for weddings so please let me know if this is something you're interested in.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?
While I always appreciate as much as advance notice as possible, I am pretty flexible and can generally take on most short-notice requests.
PAYMENT METHODS?
- PayPal or Venmo (preferred)
- Debit/credit card
- Electronic bank transfer
- No checks/cashier’s checks please. Electronic payment only.
TRAVEL FEES
There is a small travel fee starting at 20+ miles from 80829 and back which is .25 per mile.
DO YOU OFFER VIDEOGRAPHY TOO?
Though I can and have done a considerable amount of wedding videography in the past, I do not typically offer videography services anymore after having decided to focus in on photography. That said, I have many recommended vendors so let me know if this is something you're interested in.
WILL I BE ABLE TO ORDER PRINTS?
Yes! You will be able to order prints within the gallery but all purchased images are full-res so you can take them and print them anywhere.
WILL PHOTOS BE USED FOR ADVERTISING?
Possibly but probably not. I would mainly just add them to my site gallery but please let me know if this is something you're not comfortable with.
DO YOU OFFER ENGAGEMENT & BRIDAL SESSIONS?
Yes! One shoot for $300 or both for $550.
