FAQ Weddings
How would you describe your style: Creative. Romantic. Real. I aim to capture the true essence of your wedding day by telling a story with your photographs.
How long have you been doing this: Photography has been a passion of mine for several years, and I have been shooting weddings full-time for 3 years now.
What kind of weddings do you like to shoot: All kinds! I thrive on unique, fun and different settings so please - think outside the box! Make this YOUR day!
Will you be the one photographing our wedding: Yes. I am always accompanied by Chris, my assistant but I am the primary shooter at every wedding that I book.
How far in advance do you book: I typically book approximately 10-14 months in advance for peak season dates (May-October).
How do we book you for our wedding: I ask for a signed contract as well as a 50% deposit to officially book your wedding date. Unfortunately, I will not temporarily save dates - this just isn't fair to others. I book on a first come, first served basis.
What's the deal with engagement sessions: An engagement session not only gives you an opportunity to get to know me as a person and as your photographer but the experience will help aliviate some of your wedding day worries. Besides, you get great photos out of it too!
Do you provide us with the rights to our photos (full res images): All of my packages include full resolution, high quality, jpg images with full reproduction rights.
Do you travel for weddings: Absolutely! I LOVE the idea of taking pictures in a different environment and setting. I shoot both national and international weddings so please contact me for my destination wedding price list.
How long until we get our cd after the wedding: 6-8 weeks.
Do you cover the groom's preparation: Of course! My assistant Chris typically covers this as I am busy covering the brides preparation.
How long do you stay at the reception: My cut off time is 10pm. If you wish to hire me for longer, there is an extra charge by the hour.
What equipment do you use: I am a faithful Canon user as well as a prime lens lover. Here is an overview of what's in my Kelly Moore Bag:
Canon 5D Mark II
Canon 5D
Canon 35mm f/1.4L
Canon 50mm f/1.4L
Canon 85mm f/1.2L
Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L
Canon 45mm TS-E f/2.8
Canon 100mm Macro f/2.8
2 Canon Speedlite 580EX Flashes
Four Pocket Wizard Plus II
(We always have backups and lots of extra batteries and memory cards).
What if something happens and you can't be at my wedding: The only reason why I wouldn't be at your wedding would be because I was almost in my grave which sounds really morbid! If anything was to happen, Chris will be more then willing to take over. I am also lucky to have a big network of photographer friends in the Ottawa and surrounding region of which would help out if need be (as I would for them).
How much time should we a lot for formal and family photos between the ceremony and reception: 2 hours is a good amount of time to cover family, wedding party and bride & groom portraits.
What if I want to hire you for just a few hours: Unfortunately, I do not offer packages which only include a certain amount of hours for weddings on weekends and popular, peak season dates. Although, I will consider doing so on weekdays as well as non peak season dates. My packages all include full day coverage. If your date is on a weekday or off seasons date, please contact me to discuss further about your details and what I would have to offer.
Do you have liability insurance: Absolutely.
What do you wear to shoot weddings: This is by far the funniest question people ask me! My favourite spiderman costume of course! Haha! No no - I wear very suitable, professional wedding photographer attire ;)
