FAQ's

Who are you?

We're a husband and wife (Matt and Kelly) photography team that happens to love wedding photography. Our job is to capture the full essence of your wedding day. Not only the people and places, but the emotions, the moments, and all the little details you spent so much time getting just right. We try to be as unobtrusive as possible as we go about our work, and we work with you to create a schedule that will seamlessly fit into your day. Above all, we have fun, and that's why we love wedding photography.

Can you travel to my wedding location?

YES! We love to travel! We cover weddings all across Minnesota and Wisconsin. For the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area and up to 2 hours outside of Duluth, (which includes St. Cloud) there is NO travel fee. Distances further than this will be subject to actual travel costs only. Bottom line is, we want to do your wedding, and we don't want the issue of travel costs to be a factor in your decision. We cover a lot of ground, and may already be in your area the weekend of your wedding. Contact us for a travel quote. We are also available for nationwide and international travel, give us a call for special destination wedding pricing.

How do I reserve you for my wedding date?

Easy, just call (218.393.4398) or EMAIL us. All it takes is a signed contract and a $300 retainer (which goes toward the total package price) to hold your wedding date. The balance is due one week before the wedding date. We book on a first-come-first-serve basis in order to be as fair as possible.

How much are your prints?

4x6 - $4, 5x7 - $8, 8x10 - $15, 11x14 - $30, 12x18 - $45, 16x20 - $60, 20x30 - $100. All prints are handled by our professional lab and use Kodak Supra Endura Paper with a standard achival value of 100 years.

Do you include a CD with all the pictures?

With our wedding package a disk of all your edited images at full resolution with print release is included, or available for purchase, so you can print your images any time you like. We also retain a backup of your images for one year after your wedding, in case anything should happen to your disk. We highly recommend that you backup your images on your computers' hard drive upon receiving your disk.

How many pictures will we get?

We don't promise a certain number of pictures because every wedding is different. Generally speaking, you can expect to receive 40-60 pictures per hour of time in your package.

How long does it take to get our pictures?

You will receive your pictures about three weeks after your wedding. Most often sooner. Coffee table books and albums take a bit longer, but will be delivered within 4 weeks of your design approval.

Do you charge extra for retouching?

We enhance every image that you receive. There is no charge for basic retouching. We want your images to be their best the moment you see them. After delivery, if you want additional changes, such as black and white conversions, sepia toning, or hand coloring, we can do that at no charge.

Do you take credit cards?

We accept all major credit cards through PayPal for the amount of your retainer. All prints and other merchandise can be ordered using your credit card through your online gallery.

What equipment do you use?

We use Canon 5DII's, known for their outstanding image quality, and have an assortment of Canon professional lenses, with backups for everything, so we're covered in the unlikely event of equipment failure. Our lighting equipment is portable and battery powered which allows us to bring our "studio" anywhere.

Are you insured?

Yes we are. Many venues now require vendors (DJ's, caterer's, photographers, videographers, etc.) to show proof of business insurance. We can happily provide this upon request.
