Question 1

How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

Question 2

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the collection you choose, I will be a second photographer. The cost is built in and you always have the option to choose Ata-Girl single coverage or team coverage.

Question 3

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. I retouch/edit each and every final image that you will receive. Each image receives basic edits (i.e., exposure, color balance, straightening). Anything that gets printed through Ata-Girl will receive more extensive post-processing, if necessary. I don’t do extreme body, hair, or face retouching. Blemishes will be edited on a case-by-case basis.

Question 4

Do you also offer video services?

Accepted Answer

No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.

Question 5

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

My turnaround is always guaranteed in writing. High-resolution digital images that are not watermarked are included with each collection and can be used in any way you wish as long as it’s for personal use. They are delivered through the cloud and include up to a 10-year backup.

Question 6

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

I guarantee 50 images per hour; however, you can typically expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

Question 7

Do you have insurance?

Accepted Answer

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

Question 8

What’s your back-up plan if you can’t photograph our wedding as planned?

Accepted Answer

In my 11+ years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues and/or my contracted second shooter.

Question 9

Do you charge for travel?

Accepted Answer

If the shoot or event location is more than 120 miles outside of the 78205 zip code, a travel fee of $1.50/mile will be added to cover for travel expenses. It is also the Client’s responsibility to pay for hotel accommodations for the duration of the time required. Travel beyond 250 miles will be charged 1/2 day rate of $500.

Question 10

What is your booking policy?

Accepted Answer

To officially reserve your date, a non-refundable reservation fee $500 is collected and a contract is signed. Custom payment plans are available, but your entire balance must be paid 30 days prior to your wedding date. Under no circumstances will any dates be held without a retainer and contract.
