How do I book with you?
I book weddings up to 18 months in advance. I highly advise contacting me as soon as possible once you have pinned down a wedding date, to ensure availability. Just use the contact form on the Inquire page or email me directly at emilytaylorphotography@outlook.com. Once I receive your request, I will confirm the date with you, and then set up an in-person or over the phone consultation. At that time, you can decide which package fits your needs and see some of my online galleries. I will also go over print release, invoice, payment options, bridal questionnaire, and other important info regarding your big day!

What are my payment options?
In order for me to reserve your date of choice, I require a 20% holding fee of your selected package. I accept cash, checks, and credit/debit cards (includes a 3.5% processing fee). The 20% holding fee is non-refundable, but can be transferred to another date should you choose to switch wedding dates due to a rain-out or other unlikely situation. The remaining cost of your wedding package is due the day before your wedding. If you need special payment accommodations, contact me for a personalized payment schedule.

What is a bridal/boudoir shoot?
The premium package that I offer contains either a free engagement shoot OR a free bridal/boudoir shoot. Some brides like to dedicate more time to bridal portraits than can be allowed on the actual day of the wedding, so a bridal shoot is 1-2 hours of time before the big day that I dedicate to just shooting you in your dress at the location (or two!) of your choice. Another option is to do a boudoir shoot (usually in your own home) of all that nice new lingerie that you received for your wedding shower. Some brides like to make books of the pictures to give to their sweethearts on the day of the wedding :)

How many digital images can I expect out of my final wedding package?
I put all of the pictures that make it to the editing stage in your downloadable online gallery. This could be anywhere from 700 to 2,000+ depending on the package that you choose. I take roughly 4,000-8,000 photos over an entire wedding day, but you will get only the best retouched images in your final gallery. I take great care and pride in my editing and do not offer unedited photos to my clients, simply because it would be a misrepresentation of my brand and artistic style.

Why do you offer digital images instead of prints?
I want to give my clients the best images that I possibly can without charging an arm and a leg. There are many excellent places to print that are much cheaper than charging per image. I offer digital prints with full printing rights (including release form) because I want my clients to have the option of printing any image at any time.

When will I receive my images?
I am committed to having a short turnaround time. Your Facebook sneak peek will be available within the first 48 hours following your event. Your online gallery snapshot (40 of the best images from the day) will be available within the first week of the event. This is a great online preview that you can share and enjoy with friends and family until you receive access to your final online gallery with all of your images. Your images will be available for download no more than 6 weeks from your wedding date.
