Beautiful Mess Photography
Q: What makes your work different from other photographers’ work?
A: Our sessions are candid & fun! We use natural lighting as often as possible and find locations where you can relax and enjoy the moment. Your photo story will be a piece of fine art that you are proud to show off, and excited to display in your home.
Q: When will we receive our photos?
A: Your images will be edited on available on your private online gallery in 4-6 weeks after your wedding or event. Portrait galleries are usually available in 2-3 weeks after your session.
Q: What equipment do you use?
A: We use all of the latest Canon equipment. Full sensor cameras, with type L lenses. All of our pieces have a backup in the rare event that anything should occur to one of our cameras or lenses.
Q: How do you backup your files?
We download and back up all the files the night of your wedding/event so we have three copies of the RAW files at all times.
Q: Should we include you into our guest count?
A: Yes, please! We have been working with you all day, and in some cases have traveled to be with you. Please remember to include us when providing food for your wedding party and guests. It is best if we eat at the same time as the wedding party so that we are finished eating when bride and groom are finished eating.
Q: How many photos do you deliver for a wedding?
A: The number of images you will receive differs based on your timeline, and how many hours we are contracted for. For an 8-10 hour wedding, you can usually expect, 500 to 800 images. For one hour engagement & portrait sessions we deliver 20 to 30 fully edited images. For two hour engagement & portrait sessions we deliver 50 to 60 fully edited images.
Q: Will we get printing rights to our photos after the wedding?
A: You will receive a link to download your digital images at the close of your online gallery. Your online gallery is open for 90 days.
Q: Do I have to order prints through you?
A: We highly recommend ordering prints through our professional vendors, but it is not required. The difference in quality is HUGE when it comes to ordering through a cheap printer and a professional lab. All wedding collections come with a print credit so you can have access to gorgeous, professional prints at no extra cost.
