Wedding Tips For Delaware And Maryland Beach Weddings
Are your wedding packages customizable?
Yes! That is why we offer an a la carte itemized price list. While packages are normally a better value and therefore more popular choices, you can create a completely customized package by selecting items from our a la carte options page. We understand that each wedding is unique, and we want to make sure that the bride and groom have their own special day photographed the way they want.
Why is a wedding deposit required?
The deposit is required in order to reserve the date. There are only so many weekends in a year, and some months are more popular than others. Our calendar fills up very quickly because of this fact; therefore, we cannot guarantee a specific date unless the deposit is paid.
What if we are getting married in a church but want beach formals?
Keep in mind that many of the Delaware beaches are privately owned and therefore inaccesible or part of the state parks. The Rehoboth and Bethany boardwalks are an option, but parking is always an issue. Special permits are required for both parking and using the state parks for photography. These must be secured ahead of time by the bride & groom. Also keep in mind that this takes time, so plan accordingly both with the reception venue and with the portrait package that you choose.
How long does it take to see our proofs?
We pride ourselves on quick turnaround time, because we understand that the bride & groom, family, and friends are anxious to see pictures of that special day. We make every effort to post the proofs online within two weeks. Albums take a little longer than prints because they have to be embossed and assembled, but we still can have them ready within a month or so. Remember that it does take a considerable amount of time to edit, color correct, and retouch photos.
