Featuring…. life in a flash PHOTOGRAPHY

Q: What’s your primary style? Posed and formal, relaxed, photojournalistic, creative, artistic, candid, traditional?
A: I like shooting photojournalistic and it gives me a chance to be creative and shoot things from a different point of view.

Q: Do you shoot in color or black and white? Or both?
A: I shoot digital… so afterwards… it gives me the flexiblility to do anything to it and change it around with different tones and colour or simply remove the colour from the image.

Q: What kind of input can we have on the direction of the shots?
A: Can we give you a shot list to work from? I only like shot lists for family shots and my assistant will use that list. If you want certain shots… you can create a shot list, as long as it’s shots that they don’t think I will capture or special shots they have seen and want to duplicate. I don’t need a 14 page list with things like: me coming down the isle, ring exchange, kiss, etc. (I’m shooting those if you didn’t tell me LOL)

Q: Are you the wedding photographer who will actually take our pictures?
A: If not, can we meet the person who will be? I’m the only photographer. I use assistants. If you book www.lifeinaflash.ca, then you are getting me and my name is on the contract.

Q: Can we meet any assistants who will also be our taking pictures?
A: Sure you can. I’m also working on video interviews that will be online.

Q: How many times have you worked specifically as a wedding photographer? How many were similar to the size and formality of our wedding?
A: I’ve shoot close to 200 weddings. As small as 12 people and up to 600 people. The average size is 150 people. I’ve shot indoors and outdoors and in the rain.

Q: How many other events will you also photograph that weekend?
A: I only shoot 1 wedding per day. Some weekends, I will shoot a small wedding on a Friday night… then a full day wedding on Sat.

Q: What kind of equipment will you bring with you? How intrusive will lighting, tripods, other equipment or assistants be?
A: I bring my main camera and a back-up and back-up flashes and a couple of lenses I like to use. I only bring lighting if we will need it. My assistant takes care of it.

Q: Do you develop your own film?
A: I send everything to a professional lab in Toronto for all my printing.

Q: Can we buy the negatives from you?
A: Right now, all my packages come with all the digital files that are high res and unmarked so the couple can print their own if they like.
Cheers!
