FAQWhere are you located?I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer located in the Twin Cities, MN. How can we secure our wedding date with Jessica Smith Photography?I typically like to meet with clients before they book my services to chat about the wedding day, connect on a personal level and go over my portfolio and sample albums. I like to get to know who you are as a couple, your style, and what is most important to you. I want to make sure that each relationship I have with my clients is a good fit! After our initial consultation you would like to book me I require a $500 deposit and a signed contract to secure the date. The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your wedding. I've signed the contract and paid the deposit, now what?After I receive your contract and down payment I will send you a copy of the contract signed by me along with an invoice for your records. If you have chosen to do an engagement session please contact me to schedule it. I also like to meet or talk on the phone one last time before the wedding to go over the wedding day timeline and to be sure we schedule enough time to fit in all the photos you want. Typically I will schedule this a week prior to your wedding day. Feel free to contact me anytime throughout the wedding planning process if you have any questions or concerns. How soon will we see our photos?At the latest you will have your images 3 weeks after your big day, but hopefully sooner! What does it mean to have ownership of my photographs?With all of my clients I provide a DVD or CD with high resolution .jpg files and copyrights to those photographs. Feel free to post them on facebook, email them to your friends and family, print them for your home - whatever you want! I keep rights to my photos, so you may end up on my blog, portfolio, or business card! What's in the bag?
What is your backup strategy?I use extreme care when handling your images. During the wedding day my memory cards are always kept on my body. Before I delete the images from the memory cards they are saved in 3 different locations. Immediately after returning home from an event, I copy all data off of my CF cards onto my PC as well as 2 identical external hard drives. One of these hard drives is kept in a a fireproof safe. What if a photography permit or fee is required for the location we request?Clients are responsible to obtain any permits and cover any fees required for the shoot, if the requested location requires it. Would you consider traveling for our wedding?Absolutely! I love to travel and experience new things. Please contact me if you are planning a destination wedding to discuss my travel packages. |
