// Wedding Photography Information
// TIME FOR SOME ADDITIONAL INFO
Have you got questions?
It’s pretty normal to have questions regarding wedding photography services. There’s a multitude of options out there and, when the time comes to choose, make sure you’re clarified about everything as much as possible.
If you still haven’t asked me for a quotation, there are a few insights I can already provide you. Of course, this is some general information. The specifications about my wedding photography services, I’ll gladly share with you on a meeting.
By the way, meetings are more than a rant of information. Meetings are all about sharing visions and ideas. Wedding planning and preparation is part of a couple’s life for at least a year (if not more). So, please, take your time in the meeting to share the plans you have for this special life event.
You can count on my absolute interest and expertise to help you in any way I can.
YOUR LOVE PROVIDES THE WORDS
// QUESTIONS
1) Do you only photograph weddings?
My core business is weddings, but I love photography in all its forms. When I can squeeze it in, I also photograph family, maternity and lifestyle shoots.
2) Do you work alone or with a second shooter
Depending on the wedding, I usually work with a colleague. Having a second photographer is undeniably valuable.
3) Are you available to photograph outside of Portugal?
I sure am. I’ve already been blessed with the opportunity to do it and, to this day, I still can’t find the words to describe the whole experience.
4) How soon after the wedding will we receive the final work?
My turnaround time is three months (90 days) after the wedding.
5) Do you also formal group photos?
Yes, if that’s what you want. I understand the importance of having formal group photos and will make sure the experience is as easy going as possible for you.
6) Are all the wedding photos edited or just a few?
Yes, all images are selected and edited by hand, one by one.
7) Will our guests have access to an online gallery?
Yes, of course. Your online gallery will be password protected and you can share it with your guests, where they can download all the photos they want, free of charge.
8) Do any of your wedding packages include a printed album?
Of course. Photography just isn’t the same without something to touch and feel. For me, a printed album is what keeps the story alive. (see more of my wedding album here)
9) Do you also shoot video?
As much as I’d love to, no, I don’t. But I’d be happy to suggest you a few videographers / teams who I work closely with and whose work I admire.
10) Do you deliver RAW files?
No, the final work includes high resolution JPEG images, not raw files.

// AN ENGAGEMENT PHOTOSHOOT? WHY?
I'm asked quite often about the engagement session
You can look at the engagement photoshoot in two ways.
First, as the opportunity to go through the experience of being photographed before the wedding, as a sort of a test-drive for the big day. Also, 90% of the couples I photograph only have cell phone photos of themselves. That needs to be changed right away!
Second (which is my favourite) as the perfect situation to relax a bit from the wedding preparations. Diving deep into your connection and feeling close to your photographer will make everything a lot easier.

EXTRA NOTES
I don’t book two weddings for the same day, because I don’t work with extra teams.
If you book your wedding with me, you’ll have me!

I always make it my point to create a timeline of “moments of the day” with my couples.

My wedding reportage doesn’t have time limit, but we usually leave when we feel we have everything we need to tell the story of what happened.
