• Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy?
  I don't expect payment until you take ownership of your pictures. If you are not satisfied with the product and I can't find a way to correct the problem you may turn down the package.
• What are your qualifications? Have you been professionally trained or certified?
  I started doing this as a favour to friends because "I prefer your pictures to the ones we paid for". Some of my work has won minor prizes. Besides that, no.
• What packages do you offer? What are your rates?
  My basic package is the "full day" wedding and reception with an album of around 200 4*6 and one 5*7 photo. Additional services are available particularly "copy rights" purchase of high quality scans and a Copyright waiver form. My prices are extremely low and rising as I get more experience and confidence. I will honour the price that is current at the time you confirm the booking.
• Do you require a deposit?
  No. "No deposit" is my guarantee that you will be satisfied with the work I perform. You don't pay until you accept my work.
• How many pictures do you take?
  When I took film I usually took about 250-300 and discarded about 50. With digital I take more and discard more because the price of failed shots is lower and I can take more "risks" - shots with low chances of being worthy. My standard package will give you at least 200 good quality pictures.
• Can I keep the negatives?
  I provide a "copy rights" package as an extra cost option in which you get rights to copy and print the photographs from supplied CDs.
• How many weddings have you photographed?
  About a dozen as of 10/04. My inexperience is what's keeping my price down. As I gain confidence and reputation my price will increase (and has already doubled since I started), however I intend to always cater to the budget market.
• What is your photographic style?
  Photojournalist. I follow the proceedings and provide the resulting album or book in roughly sequential order from arrival of the guests, preparation of the venue and participants through the garter/boquet ceremonies. The budget packages usually involve taking all the formals immediately after the wedding ceremony, however alternatives can be negotiated, usually without additional cost.
• Do you provide black and white photography?
  If required. I use digatal techniques which allow considerable versatility in converting digital to B&W with many post processing filters available which were previously only possible using expensive colored glass filters.
• Do you use digital or film?
  Digital. I also have a film camera for backup and can do film photography if preferred.
• Can I see examples of your work?
  The full content of some of my recent weddings can be viewed from my web site under the "Clients" tab.
• How far are you willing to travel?
  About 50 miles. Further if you want to pay expenses - but that isn't usually an issue in the budget market.
• How quickly will I receive my prints?
  7-10 days usually depending on how much digital manipulation they require. A web gallery for viewing and ordering prints will usually become available the following day although content and quality may change as I do additional post-processing work.
• What makes you different from other photographers?
  Value for money. There are better photographers than me in the $1500+ price bracket (and surprisingly a few who aren't) but I'm learning and while I'm learning I charge about half what those at my skill and quality level amongst the full time pros charge.
