Wrapping up our triple header of engagement sessions, we have Lauren & Mark.  This was a kind of rare morning session, so the fog had not lifted over the Presidio yet (which means great light!) It was also chilly chilly chilly.  To top it off, I think Mark was kind of ambushed by the session (he claims to have been misinformed about the days tasks).  Despite all of that, L&G were fabulous and we got a bunch of amazing shots.  We shot for a couple of hours then reconvened for our site walk through at the super lovely Beaulieu Garden.  After the walk through, we knocked out a few more shots for the e-session in the warm Napa sun. Yay! I love my job!

Happy Thursday, lovelies  Here’s a little taste of Lisa & Tom’s E-Session, shot by our Lisa (for the three Lisa trifecta, the wedding coordination will be by Lisa Z of Bellissima Vita).Great job on Make-up by the Make-Up Dolls

Today, lovlies, we bring you photos from Siobhan & Luca’s E-session. 

We, Lisa and I, can hardly wait for their upcoming wedding at Vine Hill House!  We’ll have the pleasure of working with Lisa of Bellissima Vita

Time to wrap up our Ten Questions to Ask Your Photographer series.  Click HERE to see the previous posts:

7 Do they offer both photo albums and proof books?  Why yes we do!  All of our packages include a hard bound proof book with six images printed on a letter sized page.  The proof book is a great companion to your disc of images and is (in my estimation anyway) a nicer way to go through your images than by looking at them all online.  As far as albums go, we do offer a variety of awesome albums and about 90% of our clients get an album included in their package.  That leaves about 10% of our clients with what are known as ‘Shoot and Burn’ packages.  Click here to learn more about ‘Shoot & Burn’.

8 Are high-resolution images (also known as “digital negatives” included in the contracted coverage?  For several years now all of our clients have received a disc of high resolution image files. These are the exact same files we would use to produce your albums, canvases, prints, etc…  They are all color corrected and contrast adjusted, some are black and white, some have even been lightly retouched in photoshop.  The images are delivered as JPEGS.

9 What are their travel fees, if applicable?  Travel fees will apply to any wedding outside of wine country, the SF Bay Area or along the penninsula.  When travel fees are required, they are added as a separate line to your package.  The travel fees will include airfare, hotel, car rental, etc… as a lump sum and no other fees will be required unless your needs change (change dates, need another day of coverage, change venues…  Our travel fees are generally quite modest and we don’t mark them up.  So if you like what we do but are not in the San Francisco area, you may still want to inquire about our services.  The cost of a couple plane tickets and nights in a hotel are pretty insignificant compared to the cost of your whole wedding.

10 What is the cost for exceeding the contracted time period?  Generally, overtime is billed at $400 an hour and can be billed in half hour increments.

Wow!  I don’t think I’ve ever done such wordy posts before.

I hope this series helps educate anyone who is getting started planning their wedding.  Feel free to ask any questions I didn’t answer by leaving a coomment

After the last couple of super duper wordy posts, I think it’s time for more photos.  Connie and Dan were just married at our lovely San Francisco City Hall.  Before their wedding we hit a couple of spots in Golden Gate Park, and after the ceremony it was off to Roy’s for a reception lunch with their family.
