WHEN SHOULD WE BOOK WITH YOU?
Once your venue is booked and the date is secured, you can start booking vendors. The sooner, the better is what we'd say. Dates go quickly, and we want to make sure we're available for yours!
WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BOOK?
We require a 30% retainer and a signed contract to reserve your date. The second 30% is due 1 week before the wedding, the remaining due by the wedding date.
CAN WE MAKE CHANGES AFTER BOOKING?
Yes! Some couples book at 6 hours and add more later, or some choose to add video after thinking on it a little more.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE PHOTOS?
We send a sneak peek ASAP after the wedding (typically 48h at latest), and the full gallery is delivered 4-6 weeks after the celebration. Your highlight film will arrive about 6-8 weeks after the event date.
WHEN DO YOU RECOMMEND A THIRD SHOOTER?
For weddings over 125 guests, we strongly recommend adding the third shooter for comprehensive coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
DO YOU EDIT YOUR PICTURES?
We do global adjustments to the photos, meaning color, lighting, cropping, but we don't retouch your faces or bodies; we want you to look like yourselves on the big day!
HOW DO YOU SHARE THE PHOTOS?
We provide a digital gallery with all high-res and social/web sized images. Your gallery will be live for 12 months after the wedding date. If you need more time, let us know, and we're happy to help. If you ever lose your photos, we're happy to help with that too.
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?
Every wedding is different – different schedules, different amounts of time for portraits/family photos, different events taking place. What we can say is that with two shooters at all times, your event will be well-covered with hundreds of photos to choose from.
DO WE RECEIVE ANY RAW PHOTOS/FOOTAGE?
We love to deliver the best possible versions of your final products, so we don't give out raw photos/videos. Your photos will have natural editing and be sent in JPG format. For video, we compile the footage into a reel that visually makes a lot more sense than a bunch of short clips.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO BOTH PHOTO+VIDEO?
We are shooting photos throughout the day, and taking small video clips as well. It's a very relaxed process where you won't even notice whether it's photo or video captured.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU GET SICK?
If one or both of us is unable to capture your wedding as planned, we have a reliable network of photographers and videographers to take over on our behalf, and will ensure that your day is captured with the same quality and professionalism.
WHAT IF OUR WEDDING DATE HAS TO MOVE?
If, say, a pandemic or a venue closure requires you to move your date, we can to move your deposit to a new date.
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?
Yes! We're available for weddings anywhere and everywhere. Some typical locations that are inquired about are Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, upstate New York. We're available in all locations.
DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?
Yes! Our certificate of insurance can be provided to your venue ahead of the event.
CAN WE PRINT OUR PHOTOS ANYWHERE?
Not a problem! You can print directly from your gallery, or you can take them to a printer of your choice. You'll receive high res files and social size files for ease.
CAN WE SKIP THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
If you choose to skip out on the complimentary engagement session, it won't impact your package price. However, we strongly recommend couples take us up on the experience to make the wedding day run smoothly.
CAN WE EXCHANGE THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
The engagement session is designed to get you comfortable with us ahead of the big day, and teach you about working with the camera. It can't be exchanged for additional hours or other event coverage.
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH REHEARSAL DINNERS?
We're happy to check our associate team's availability for other events like rehearsals, engagement parties, etc.
WILL YOU HELP US WITH OUR TIMELINE/SHOT LIST?
Yes! You'll receive information from us leading up to the wedding day to help solidify your photography schedule.
From getting ready to partying the night away, we’ll be there to capture it all.
You might think the story of a wedding is only in those moments you’re saying your ‘I dos’, but we know so much more happens outside that too. That’s why we want to capture your day from start to finish - from those big key moments to all the little in-between ones you might not even notice happening at the time.
That’s why there are two of us! That way, we’re always sure nothing gets missed. It means we can work quickly, from different angles so you get a whole ton of amazing photos and you get to enjoy your entire day without missing any part of it.
Because that’s the point. It’s your day so you should be experiencing it.
And once your wedding is over, we want to keep that excitement going for you! Which is why we’ll always send over some cute sneak peeks in the days that follow.
Way to keep that wedding glow going, right?

Wedding Photography in Westchester and beyond
When we tied the knot, we didn’t prioritize wedding videography - we were more concerned with our photo gallery.
But long after the day has passed, there are moments we wish we could see in motion. From impassioned speeches to our teary vows, we wish there was just a little *something* extra we could keep from those moments.
That’s why we became Hudson Valley wedding videographers in addition to our photography. We want to ensure that your day is captured in as much detail as you want. With our highlight films, you can relive the emotion of your wedding day as if you were there all over again.
Each wedding film is 4 to 6 minutes long, giving just enough time for those wonderful memories... without feeling too stuffy or dragged out. It's the perfect solution for couples who want a little something from the big day, but not a full-on Hollywood production.
New York Wedding Videography, highlight films
Did we mention we offer an engagement shoot to every couple who books their wedding photography with us?
We just can’t help ourselves; we love capturing photos of couples in love! Ok, there are other reasons too… For one thing, an engagement shoot is a great way for us to all get to know each other before your wedding day. There’s nothing fun about two strangers turning up on one of your most important days and waving cameras in your faces. But getting to know us a little, and us getting to know you, means we can really get those natural, candid and relaxed photos we know you want so much.
You also get to see how we work! We know, for most of you, getting married is something you haven’t done before. Maybe your only experience of a wedding photographer has been at friends’ or family members’ weddings. Aaaand maybe that wasn’t the best experience. Which is why we love to show you just how relaxed and casual we are. Because we know you don’t want all that formality on your big day either!
