Professional Wedding Photography Services in Delaware (2024)

Our company is divided between Nikon and Canon equipment. It’s really a matter of preference between our photographers. Each of our team carries two or three of “everything that matters” so that you are protected from equipment failures and breakage.

We do not offer raw images or raw video. As we are ultimately judged by the product that we produce, we insist on having quality control over the finished product.

We include the first 90 minutes of one-way travel at no cost to you. Longer distances may be subject to a travel cost, all depending on your location. Our online booking can calculate a custom quote for you, should you be outside our no-cost range. Travel before and after the event is not counted against your package time. Travel between locations during the event does count against your package time.

We typically wear all black. Our usual dress is black pants, black shirt, and black sneakers. In the summer, we tend to wear polo shirts. In the winter, we tend to wear oxford shirts. As our coverage is very journalistic, and often very active, we do not wear suits & ties while shooting. Female staff may opt to wear dresses.

We’ve found that selective color photos are vey popular with our brides. If you like them, remember that “color” is the most important part of “selective color”. You will likely be wearing a white dress, so be sure to have a vibrant bouquet. White flowers don’t make interesting selective color images, so go bold.

We complete all of our editing and post-production in about 4-8 weeks. Rush processing is available as an option on your contract.

It’s hard to give a generalization, as every wedding is different. Typically, you will receive about 60-75 photos per “useful hour” of photography. Remember, time spent driving between locations doesn’t allow us to make images. Secondarily, the amount of “action” in your wedding can dramatically affect the number of photos. We have shot three hour weddings that resulted in 500 pictures, and we have shot seven hour weddings that resulted in only about 250 pictures. It all depends on the specifics of your event. Don’t worry about count. It’s the actual events of the day that matter. You will receive the best photos taken, as selected by our staff. As we are judged by the quality of our work, we retain creative control of all photos delivered. Photos that we elect to not include in the delivery set are not availble for review.

We are glad to accept a list of family groups that you would like us to take. We are great photographers, but we do not know the people in your families. We even provide a planning tool that allows you to select which photos you would like, and helps to give you a time estimate for your photography. However, please do not ask us to work from a list that you found on a website or in a magazine. We insist on having the freedom to capture your day as it happens, rather than being limited by a specific list.

We offer an option just for these cases. We offer two versions, planning only, and photo coverage. Should you want either of these options, be sure to choose them when filling out your contract. In the case of rehearsal attendance, make sure to let us know as early as possible; so that we can have the date available.

Of course. It’s not required, but we’re glad to offer it if you’d like to add it to your package. A lot of what we offer is designed to make you comfortable with us and our services. We generally suggest waiting until a few weeks before the wedding, so that things are close enough to be of concrete value. If you don’t opt for a meeting prior, your photographer will reach out to you in the week before your wedding to make final confirmations.

We don’t take “table shots” or do “video interviews” for a very good reason… As a rule, guests feel very pressured and awkward in these situations. If you would like “table shot” photographs, we recommend that you visit the tables at your wedding, and have your guests pose with you. They are always more receptive to the couple than a photographer alone. As for “video interviews”… We recommend our Video Booth for this very purpose. It gives your guests privacy and time to prepare themselves without any pressure. It gives a far better result.

Given the option, the best time for outdoor photos is usually about an hour before sunset. Remember, sunset times change by the season. Always plan to have your outdoor photos finished before the sun is down. Although we can shoot them in the dark, they look much better with natural light.

Be mindful of your surroundings. Don’t position yourselves so that you will be “staring into the sun” during your vows. It’s uncomfortable, and you won’t get as many good pictures. Additionally, check your venue in advance for prime photo spots.
Check the sunset times for your wedding day. Although sunset allows for creative and beautiful photos; don’t run late. Sunset waits for no bride.
Always have a backup plan, in case of inclement weather.

Not to worry. We have a large team of skilled videographers. If something happens to your videographer, we have others available for you.

As many of our albums are hand made, you have the choice of a variety of different cover materials and colors. The linen, suede, and leather are the most popular.

Our signature albums come in a wide range of sizes and layouts including 8×8, 8×10, 10×10, 12×12, 12×16, and more. Our Coffee Table Albums are offered in 10×10 and 8×8. The choice is entirely up to you!

Each couple and wedding is unique, and our albums are designed to reflect your individuality. Our team of graphic artists is happy to customize the layout of your album. If you have special requests, let us know!

Albums are quite heavy and require additional insurance when shipping. All album prices are based on customer pick-up. If you would prefer to have us ship the album to your location there would be an additional cost of $30 per album.

Generally speaking the Spring, Summer, and Fall are the best time of year for portrait photography, however, Winter / Holiday sessions are encouraged as well. For the best sunsets, we recommend the Spring or Fall.

Typically family portraits and engagement sessions are around 60 – 90 minutes in length.
