Colorful Wedding Guest Photos – Wedding Photography by Neil Vance 2011-10-18

universal-hilton-wedding

What’s a wedding without guests? Everyone has a role to play. A beautiful bride takes center stage and the groom is there by her side. The wedding party serves as a supporting cast. But what about the invited crowd of characters that fill the chairs and bless our souls?

Those who come bearing gifts bring something sweeter than the contents of the packages they carry. They are more than just the audience or extras; wedding guests are the color and flavor of the event! From quirky relatives, to long-time friends and cute little kids dressed in their Sunday’s best they are a sight to see, and photograph…

Photos of the guests can be so much more than detail images that set the scene of the wedding day. Great guest photos reflect the substance of our most significant relationships and reveal rich moments from ceremony to celebration.

Someone old, someone new, someone borrowed, and even someone blue… in years to come, compelling images of these precious people will take you back to the emotion and energy of the event. They will remind you how great it felt to be so in love and loved by so many. – Neil

The guests at your wedding are as important to us as they are to you. Take a look at some of my very favorite wedding guest moments. Leave a comment if you’d like.

Pasadena Engagement Photography – In the Rain 2011-10-19

Melissa and Mario had a great idea to do their engagement photo session in downtown Pasadena, CA. – in the rain. And it was seriously raining… We had a great shoot thanks to my trusty assistants, Caleb and Joshua Vance. With their umbrella holding skills, we managed to get some really fun shots and keep water out of the camera.Loving the shoes!

You’ll notice that engagement photo sessions are included in nearly all of the packages I offer. I believe these sessions are the foundation for a great wedding day shoot. And, as you can see by the images, your engagement pictures are a great addition to your wedding images. Not to mention that the session is an experience unto itself.

How to hire a wedding photographer – Neil Vance Photography 2011-10-21

Here is a list of questions to ask any wedding photographer BEFORE you sign the contract…

Questions supplied by WeddingWire.com
- Answers supplied By Neil Vance, owner of Neil Vance Photography

- Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?

Yes, as I sort through the images, each image is given careful consideration. Certain images are enhanced for color and contrast according to my photographic style and others are changed to B&W or toned for artist impact.

 

- Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?

Yes, as you can see in my portfolio… From the brightest beach ceremony at 2pm to the darkest cathedral, I am able to handle challenging lighting situations. I bring the right gear and have a range of experience that enables me to capture every single moment.

 

- Is your media preference film or digital?

Digital

 

- How many photographers do you work with on the wedding day?

1 or 2. The photographers I hire to shoot with me are seasoned professionals. Often times they are friends who work as professional photographers for news agencies or have photography studios of their own.

 

- Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?

YES! I wouldn’t miss it!

 

- Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?

Only one per day. On a few occasions, I have shot back to back weddings on a weekend… meaning one on Saturday and one the following day. That is not too common but it can occur.

 

- Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?

This has never happened, but I have associates in the field that I could get to replace me in a dire emergency.

 

- What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?

The best available 35mm digital camera body at 21mp and a wide range of professional lenses as well as on and off-camera flash equipment.

 

- Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?

ALWAYS!

 

- Do you have liability insurance? Can you provide a $100,000,000 liability rider for my wedding venue.

Yes.

- Do you charge hourly or full day?

I have 6 packages to choose from… each package includes coverage hours ranging from 4 hours to 10 hours.

 

- Are you available to shoot extra hours? If yes, how much do you charge for extra hours?

Yes. $225 per hour primary photog & 2nd photog $65 per hour.

 

- What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?

I’m very flexible on breaks and meals. The flow of the day and the time line of the event dictate if/when breaks occur. As far as meals go… some couples choose to serve the same food as the wedding guests and some do a vendor meal. Either is fine. I’ll usually try to grab a quick bite while the bride and groom are eating.

 

- Do you charge for travel?

Travel expenses apply for weddings held further than 50 miles from Los Angeles, CA. Some exceptions are made. Please inquire.

 

- In what format are the initial proofs offered?

Your final images are edited, so they are not proofs. They are delivered digitally – on disc or hard drive and online.

 

- Do you retain the copyright for the photos?

Yes, however clients have full rights.

 

- Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?

That is negotiable.

- Do you provide the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the negatives) to the client?

Yes, with certain packages.

 

- Will images be available for viewing online?

Yes.

 

- What kind of albums do you offer?

LeatherCraftsman – 10×10 or 12×12 – Flush mounted or Traditional matted albums with a wide range of covers and options to choose from.

 

- When will the client get the final album?

Delivery.. 4-6 weeks after final design approval.
