Wedding FAQ
Couples often ask me some recurring questions: I thought I would collect them here, accompanying them with clear and complete answers. Of course, it is understood that a face-to-face meeting is always the best way to clarify any doubts and define together every detail of the service.
List of services
-
Why should we turn to a professional for our wedding?Professionalism is the guarantee of an impeccable service, of the highest quality products and of an elegant and refined final result. A professional photographer stands out for his seriousness and transparency: he cannot afford to disappoint his clients. He ensures punctuality, precision and an excellent service in every phase of the work. Every aspect of the photographic service will be taken care of according to the highest standards in the sector. Furthermore, the stipulation of a contract will offer you the certainty of receiving exactly what has been agreed, with maximum transparency and protection.
-
When should we book the photo shoot?List item 1To ensure optimal management of the organization and the availability of all operators, it is advisable to make the reservation at least three months in advance of the event date. However, the sooner the reservation is made, the better it will be for both parties. This will allow me to carefully plan all the activities related to the event and, if necessary, carry out inspections to ensure that every detail is perfect.
-
Do you meet couples before the wedding?List item 2Absolutely yes. I think it is essential to personally know the future spouses. In fact, I would say that it is essential to establish a deep understanding. The ideal would be to meet several times, to consolidate mutual empathy and make sure I fully understand the couple's wishes. Only in this way can we address any problems related to the organization together and plan every detail with the utmost care."
-
Do you take posed or reportage photos?I take both reportage-style shots and posed photos. Although the photo shoot is mainly based on reportage, this does not exclude the inclusion of modern and dynamic posed photos. By 'dynamic pose' I mean situations that appear spontaneous, but are carefully thought out and designed to achieve the best result. We also provide posed photos for groups of guests. It is our priority to pay special attention to family ties, making sure that the bride and groom have group shots with the guests they are closest to, so that every important moment is perfectly immortalized
-
Do you also do pre-wedding or engagement photo shoots?List item 4Of course, these services can be included in the wedding package or, if preferred, offered as an additional paid option. The choice will be defined together in the contractual phase, to meet your needs and desires.
-
Do you do video services?Absolutely, I also offer video services. If you want an exclusively video service, I will take care of all the phases myself, from filming to final editing. If I take care of the photography, a professional videomaker, with whom I work closely, will be present to document the event, supporting me throughout the day. In any case, I will always manage the video editing, ensuring consistency and quality in the content. The videomaker's schedules will be aligned with mine, guaranteeing complete coverage of the event without any interruptions
-
Do you have a Drone service?Absolutely, for my photo shoots, I include the use of a drone, which has now become almost indispensable for capturing unique and breathtaking perspectives. I use a professional, qualified pilot, able to operate in complete safety in non-critical environments. There are no problems in open spaces, such as fields or farmhouses, where the drone can best express its potential. However, the service is not available in areas declared NO FLY ZONE, as compliance with regulations is a fundamental priority.
-
Who will take our wedding photos?I am committed to giving the utmost attention to each couple, for this reason I only do one wedding per day. I will take your photos myself, guaranteeing an exclusive and completely personalized service. Every moment will be captured with care and passion, to offer you indelible memories of such a special day
-
How many shots do you take for a wedding?I don't impose any limit on the number of photographs taken, and the reason is simple: a wedding is a unique and unrepeatable event, and every moment deserves to be captured. Often, a spontaneous and improvised shot is exactly what manages to immortalize the authentic emotion of the moment. My philosophy is that there are no limits when it comes to telling such a special story, so we don't set any ceiling on the number of photos taken, guaranteeing maximum creative freedom and attention to every detail.
-
Are two photographers needed?It is not necessary to have two photographers. In addition to the risk of creating confusion, especially in intimate spaces such as the church, the presence of a second photographer would also entail an additional cost for the spouses. The photos during the preparations will be taken in two separate phases: first at the groom's home and then at the bride's home, up to the ceremony location. During the ceremony, I will personally take care of capturing the most significant moments. In some situations, when necessary, I will be supported by an assistant to take a second point of view in the most relevant moments.
-
What are your prices?My photography and video services are designed to meet the unique needs of each couple, and for this reason I offer two pricing options: hourly and per service. Prices for hourly and package services vary based on the type of work requested and the desired final products, while remaining in line with the industry average. Each quote provided remotely is indicative, as it is essential to meet in person to define the correct price together, based on the specific details of the wedding and the additional services requested. In general, the price range for a complete wedding service (photo and video) falls within a range that reflects the quality and professionalism of my services.
-
How can we book the date?List item 3To book a date, a phone call is sufficient. However, to definitively confirm the booking, it is necessary to stipulate a contract. This can be drawn up directly in the studio or remotely, after reading the clauses and signing the relative approvals.
List of services
-
How many of you will be there?If we dedicate ourselves exclusively to the photo shoot, there will be two of us: me and the assistant. If we also include the video shoot, the team will be composed of three people; four, if we add the drone operator. If you want to know my collaborators click here.
-
How long will you be staying at the wedding?The duration of our photo shoot depends on your specific needs, especially what is established in the contract. If you want us to be present for the entire day, we are available to extend the service beyond the cutting of the cake. Generally, the wedding service begins with the preparation of the bride and groom and ends with the throwing of the bouquet.
-
If there were other people taking photographs, would it bother you?The presence of other people taking photographs can be a source of discomfort, as it could interfere with our work. However, we understand the desire of relatives and guests to immortalize special moments. We accept the use of cell phones or cameras, as long as they are not intrusive and do not hinder our shooting. To ensure a pleasant experience for everyone, it is advisable to inform guests in advance about the shooting methods during the event
-
How long will it take for you to return the photo and video service to us?The delivery time of the photo and video service depends on various factors, including the time of year and the volume of work accumulated. On average, delivery occurs within 9-12 months of the wedding. However, if the season is particularly busy and I have numerous weddings to process, it may take longer.
-
Do you work away from home?I work mainly within the Abruzzo Region. However, with my team, we are available to carry out projects outside the region, as long as they are in the surrounding areas that allow us to organize the service in the same day, thus ensuring efficient management of time and costs.
-
Do you plan on post-production and photo retouching?Absolutely yes, I personally take care of the post-production of all the photographs taken. After selecting the most significant shots, I apply post-production interventions to adapt them to the style and compositions agreed upon in the contractual phase. This process includes corrections of exposure, color balance, contrast and, if required, conversion to black and white. The final images are delivered to the client in digital JPG format, ready for printing
-
What will we receive after the wedding?I will deliver everything we have agreed in the contract, in a clear and detailed manner. This includes the photo albums, the personalized box or suitcase, any pack for parents and other accessories provided. In any case, you will always receive the post-produced photos and videos on a USB stick
-
Do you return the original photos and videos?Regarding the delivery of the original files of the wedding photographs and videos, I would like to clarify the following: Photographs: I will deliver all the photos taken, as well as those carefully selected and post-produced, in high-resolution JPEG format, ready for printing. The original files of the photographs will not be included in the standard delivery. Their supply is subject to a specific agreement and an additional fee, to be defined at the time of signing the contract. Video: The wedding video will be provided in the edited, complete and refined version, without the availability of the raw files. This practice complies with current copyright regulations, which attribute ownership of the original files to the photographer, unless otherwise agreed between the parties. To avoid misunderstandings, it is essential to clearly define these contractual aspects before the event.
-
Who will select the images to use in the album?I will personally take care of the preliminary selection of the photographs taken during the wedding, identifying the most significant shots. Subsequently, we will organize a meeting with you, during which we will view all the images together. At this stage, you will have the opportunity to suggest any changes both to the selected images and to the proposed layout. The final decision regarding the photos to include in the album and their layout will be up to you, and we will proceed with printing only after your final approval
-
Will our photos be published online?The photographs taken during the wedding will be used for advertising purposes, including publication on our website, on the Matrimonio.com portal, on our social channels and at trade fairs, exclusively with the prior written consent of the spouses, obtained at the time of signing the contract. It is important to underline that this consent can be revoked at any time, in accordance with current legislation on image rights. Furthermore, we guarantee that the images will not be transferred to third parties or used for purposes other than those indicated without further authorization
