Frequently Asked Questions

While the formal photography may be on the traditional side (getting the assorted family portraits and ceremonial photos everyone expects), once the party begins Scott becomes more photojournalistic, capturing the fun scenes happening all around. Scott's goal is to be unobtrusive, yet capture all of the day's precious moments. He wants to capture important events as they happen — quickly and without intruding on the celebration.

As soon as Scott receives your signed contract and retainer payment, your date is reserved on his calendar. It never hurts to plan ahead and reserve your photographer well in advance of your event.

Scott does have assorted set packages that he has found fills most of his clients needs. If not, he can work with each client using his “a la carte” pricing to create an individual package that is the correct fit for them.

Not necessarily, every event is different. This depends on how far in advance the event date will be.

Scott's first task after an event is to download all the raw images to his computer, as well as a back-up hard drive. Once edited, the final images you’ll be receiving are stored on two hard drives at Scott's studio, as well as an offsite Cloud Storage site.

Scott has photographed events at many of the venues throughout the Bay Area. Rest assured, if it’s a new location, Scott will visit the venue a week or two in advance of the event to check out lighting and review venue requirements. He will also arrive early to your event, and perform a complete walk-through to identify the best possible locations and angles for both staged and candid photos.
