Q: What type of wedding photography style do you do?
Our style is a mix of photojournalism combined with fashion-forward appeal. We will capture your day unobtrusively, preferring to naturally image friends and family laughing, similing, crying of joy and dancing. We do request a small period of time alone with the bride and groom to steal some more crafted shots. Thoughout the day, we will capture all of the details from cake to shoes, kiss to toasts.
Q: Do you travel?
Absolutely. We will meet you at your wedding location of choice, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco or beyond. We are expanding our business to include travel to Mexico, Hawaii and Europe. *If we haven't been to that location before, travel expenses are minimal, please inquire about this special and contact us for more details!
Q: Can we give you a shot list of photographs we want you to take?
We are open to capturing images specific to your ideas and request a list ahead of time for the family portraits. The formals list should include the names and roles of those involved as well as one "point person" to help gather everyone, which is typically is the maid of honor or best man. Byron and Wendy will work with you to create the list and answer any questions you may have.
Q: How many pictures do we get; do we get to keep the negatives?
The number of images depends on many things - hours of coverage, number of guests, type of event. Typically weddings average between 300-500 final images. We do provide the high-resolution digital files. Byron Roe Photography retains the copyright to the images and the right to use them for promotional purposes and competition. You will get a written release that allows unlimited personal reproductions for friends and family.
Q: What kind of equipment do you use?
We utilize the top of the line Nikon cameras and lens, with multiple backups.
Q: What is your payment schedule like?
In order to hold your wedding date, a signed contract and deposit must be received (non-refundable). The balance is due 2 weeks prior to your wedding date. If your wedding is canceled, the retainer fee is non-refundable. Once signed, we will turn down all other requests for that date.
Q: What if you get sick?
This is of course under extreme circumstances, however, we would supply you with coverage from contracted assistance. We are also a part of several organizations where we would find a replacement photographer.
Q: When should we book to secure our wedding date?
Frankly, ASAP. Since we cannot "hold dates" or pencil you in, dates are booked when signed contract and deposit are received. Wedding dates fill up typically the year before up to two months prior.
Q: Do we need to feed you at the reception?
It would be sure nice if you did! Typically there are 'vendor' meals that work great. We don't need anything fancy and prefer to eat when you do (so as to continue coverage after eating).
Q: How do I get started?
We enjoy the opporunity to learn more about you! The first step is to fill out our online wedding questionnaire or contact us directly to setup your one-on-one complementary consultation. This is a great opportunity to share your ideas, your wedding day plans and get to know each other a bit. From there, we'll put together a proposal that best fits your needs.
