PHOTOGRAPHY FAQ
What are your prices?
Let's face it, amazing wedding photography isn't cheap. It can't be. There is so much planning, equipment, experience and time required to get it right - and there are no do-overs! Our prices reflect this, plus the fact that we are two lead photographers who can photograph simultaneously or apart, providing the same level of expertise! Please contact us for detailed information. We will send you our Packages and Collections PDF and give you access to wedding galleries to view more of our portfolio.
Do you provide the high resolution digital images and how will I receive them?
We sure do! There are no additional fees to receive your digital images and every photo is individually retouched. We provide you the high resolution images via digital download from your online gallery, as well as web resolution copies of each photo for social media sharing.
Do you travel for weddings and what are the fees?
Absolutely. We travel ANYWHERE you want us to go. Travel fees vary according to drive time/flights, if we require overnight accommodations, how many hours/days you hire us to photograph and other expenses which may be incurred, such as those of destination weddings outside Canada. This information is only an email or phone call away. 250-826-1068 jessandyphoto@gmail.com
Do you both photograph the entire wedding day?
Yes. We are a two-photographer team with an assistant. This person takes care of all our equipment and helps us with set up so Andy and Jess can both assume lead roles simultaneously throughout your wedding day.
What does your standard editing and retouching include?
Editing is left up to the photographers discretion, but typically includes highlight and shadow adjustments, saturation and colour enhancements, and cropping/straightening. Every image is individually retouched by an editing expert.
Can I request additional edits?
You sure can. Additional editing is billed at a reasonable hourly rate rounded down to the nearest 15 minutes. The sky is the limit!
Do you include black and white photos
We provide you a selection of black and white photos. During your wedding we will shoot specific images with a b&w end result in mind. These photos are not supplied in colour. Expect around 3-5% of your images to be delivered in black and white.
What are limited edition fine art images?
These are a selection of our favourite images from your wedding day. We pour over these photos with extra love, turning them into something extraordinary. Limited Edition Fine Art images are not available for purchase as a digital file. We sell them as signed prints and wall art only. Rest assured, you will always receive the standard edited versions of these images though!
What are your albums like?
Our albums are hand crafted in the USA and truly unlike anything you can source on your own. Your images are printed on archival fine art pages which lay flat when opened, bound in a gorgeous custom cover and finished with the utmost care and attention to detail. We personally create each album to tell the unique story of your wedding day. These albums will last for generations as a cherished family heirloom. See photos of them at the bottom of this page! Endless customizations available.
When can I expect to receive my images and products?
Digital images are retouched and uploaded to your online gallery within just 3-4 short weeks of your wedding day. Products have these approximate turn around times: Prints - 1 week. Wall Art - 2/3 weeks. Custom Albums - 4 to 6 weeks
