- Are you licensed and insured?
-
Yes we are!
- Are you LGBTQ friendly?
-
Absolutely.
- Do we get high resolution photos and the rights to print/share them?
-
Yes. Your photos are all high resolution and available for download via the web. From there, you can print/share/use them however you wish!
- What is your style of wedding photography?
-
I love looking for magical rays of sunlight whenever possible! On a cloudy day, I look for other soft features in the environment to create that magical, light and airy look.
- How do we book you?
-
Contact us at jessica@jleighphoto.com or fill out our contact form on the website. Let us know a little bit more about yourself and your wedding day. We can set up a phone/video call or chat over emails to see if we are a good fit for each other. Once you have made your decision to book your photography with us we have a contract for you to fill out online, and a $500 retainer is due to secure the date.
- How long does it take to get our images?
-
A wedding highlight gallery (40-50 photos) is usually available to view within 7-10 days.
The full gallery takes 1-2 months. - Can we add extra time or an engagement session?
-
You can add extra time at any point including on the wedding day itself. We don't book any other events on the day of your wedding, so we can stay as long as you need us. (inquire about rates) You can add a one hour engagement session to any wedding package for just $300.
- Will all of our photos be edited?
-
Yes. Every image in your gallery will be adjusted in such a way that it stays consistent with our style of photography.
- How many photos will we get?
-
This is going to vary a lot depending on the bridal party size, guest count, number of hours contracted, flow of the day, etc. A five hour wedding with one photographer could produce 350-500 images. An 8 hour wedding with two photographers could yield 600-1000 photos. We don't limit the number of photos taken, so you will get all the good stuff!
- How many weddings have you shot?
-
I lost count a long time ago, but we have been in business for over ten years averaging 45-50 weddings per year. So somewhere in the range of 450-500 weddings.
- Who will be photographing our wedding?
-
Jessica!
- Do you shoot weddings for less than 3 hours?
-
We offer custom wedding packages under 3 hours Mon-Thurs. Inquire for specifics.
- What kind of equipment do you use?
-
We shoot with Nikon professional cameras and an array of different lenses. We also have flashes, LED lights. We have backup options for all of our gear.
- Do you travel outside of Central Florida?
-
Yes. There is no travel fee if the venue is within 50 miles of downtown Orlando. For longer drives or air travel, there will be a custom travel quote based on the exact length of travel, mode of travel and possible hotel expenses when applicable.
- Do you backup our photos to keep them safe?
-
Yes. While photographing your big day, the camera is capturing each image on two different memory cards simultaneously. This means, in the unlikely event of a card failure (it has never happened to us, but you can never be too safe), we have an extra copy to work with! Once we get back to the office, we download and backup your photos to a total of three locations. :)
- Can we get the raw files?
-
No. We do not give the raw files out. Half of the art lies in the editing process, and we love giving you photos that have our personal touch on them.
- What if you are sick on the day of my wedding?
-
Unless it is covid, or I am literally hospitalized, I will be at your wedding even if I am under the weather. I take my job very seriously, and in 12 years I have never missed a single wedding I was booked for. In the unlikely event of something like covid, I have a network of photographers I could reach out to in order to find a suitable replacement(s).
- If my venue is dark or the church won’t allow flash photography, can you still capture the photos we need?
-
Yes. We have tons of experience photographing in churches (most don't allow flash) and dark reception venues. No stress here. We add light when we can, and when we can't, we are equipped with the best gear to handle it.
- How many hours of coverage will I need?
-
That depends on so many factors, and I would love to help you figure it out! I can help you do so through a series of emails or a phone call. Contact us to find out more.
- What is the retainer amount and payment schedule?
-
The retainer is $500, and after that there is no required/set payment schedule. The balance is due by the wedding date.
- What payment options do you accept?
-
We accept payments through Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, CashApp or check. Whatever you prefer.
