FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
As soon as possible. Ideally, no later than three (3) months before your wedding date. Weekends tend to book up quickly, especially during peak wedding season.
This is a great question that I get a lot. As a professional, I have a back up plan. I am a member of multiple organizations and groups that supply replacement photographers if a true emergency were to arise. I can reach out too these sources should I not be available on the day of your wedding.
I require a 20% non-refundable security retainer to hold your wedding date. I require the remaining 80% no later than the day of your wedding date.
Sure thing! I do require the 20% up front to book and you must be paid in full by the day of your wedding. Outside of that, I’d be happy to arrange a payment plan with you. In the past, I’ve set up monthly payments, or three to four payment installations that occur over time. I am more than willing to work out a unique payment plan with you!
Cash, check, debit/credit card, Zelle, and Paypal. If you have other methods of payment, please inquire to find out if it is accepted.
Yes, you can! You know I’d love to photograph both, but I’m always up for an engagement session. Please contact me for more information on e-session cost and coverage.
At this time, AwestrucKen Photography doesn’t offer partial wedding day coverage. Inquire about our package prices to see which package is the best suit for your wedding.
Not at all. This is completely optional. Both options have their perks and is a personal choice.
If you choose a package that includes an assistant (second photographer), yes. Otherwise, it’s just me.
The contract you sign states that AwestrucKen Photography photographers are the only photographers allowed to shoot on your wedding day. This helps promote our creativeness and ensures you get the best photos. We do offer additional shooters depending on the photo package you choose. As long as guests do not infringe upon our space, they can take pictures with their cameras/phones
I do require a meal during the reception. From sun up to sundown, I am putting all my efforts into making your day special. Having a nice meal will give me the energy to keep the party going! If I go on break, I prefer to eat when you eat. Who wants photos of them with their mouths full, anyways?
When you hire AwestrucKen Phototgraphy, you are given a “License for Personal Use”.
Your images come to you fully edited by AwestrucKen Photography. I do not provide files straight out of the camera to prevent any of my work getting misrepresented by outside parties.
No. You will have a gallery of hand-edited photos fixed to perfection.
AwestrucKen Photography works diligently to edit your photographs and get them to you in a timely fashion. Our typical delivery rate runs between two weeks during the slower season and up to six weeks out during our busiest season. We want to make sure every image and product is perfect!
Yes! My “Eternal Moments” collection comes with a wedding album. You can always add an additional album to your package.
You can contact me by emailing me, or calling me: +1 (630) 200-8237.
You can give me a ring, shoot me an email or even drop me a text and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours. I’m here to help out and make sure you’re 100% filled in.
