Q.How much time will the photographer spend at my wedding?
A. My packages are based on coverage time so you can choose a packagethat fits your needs. I only shoot one wedding a day so if you want me to staylonger than the contracted time you can add on time by the hour. I always showup early and leave late.
Q. Will you be shooting our wedding yourself?
A. Yes, I am the Mann, Owner, Operator and Chief Photo Taker. Mostweddings include a second photographer to capture details and candids. I alsobring an assistant to help me with gear and transportation, but when you hireJason Mann Photography I will be your main photographer.
Q. Do you bring a second photographer?
A. Yes, I bring a second shooter to every wedding, if included with yourpackage. Over the years, I’ve created a great team of experts in our field. Theyhelp capture the extra details and candid shots.
Q. Do I need to provide you with a meal?
A. Yes please, if I am with you 4hrs or more a meal helps me rechargeand keep going. You do not need to seat us at a table, most of the time if youinform the reception hall they will set a place for us on the side.
Some things to consider if you planning on including myself and my assistant atone of your tables: (1) Try to position us close to the head table so I can stillget in shoots during the meal. (2) Also time is always a consideration. If yourreception hall is serving certain tables first, it is always nice when we caneat at the same time as you so we are ready to go when you are.
Q. What if we have an outdoor ceremony and its raining?
A. If you are planning a outdoor wedding, I would strongly suggesthaving a backup plan. Most brides will have a tent or a back up location justin case the weather turns bad.
From the photography perspective, I have no problem shooting in bad weather, Igo where you go. The majority of my equipment is weather sealed, and I alwaysbring umbrellas. I am prepared to transition into any situation we mayencounter.
Q. Weare having a small wedding do you offer packages under 2 hours?
A. No not at this time. In my experience most wedding coverage extendlonger that what the couple originally had planned. Its best to book the rightamount of coverage, but I always let you know when were coming upon the timeallotted and you can choose to extend it as needed.
Q.Will you travel to my wedding?
A. Yes, my bags are packed and passport is ready. I love to travel and explore new locations whether its a few hours away or across an ocean. Travel is billed very simply – if more than one tank of gas,airfare, hotel and rental car are needed, all you are responsible for is adirect reimbursement for the charges.
Process
Q. Do you shoot digital?
A. Yes all digital. The digital photography advantage allows me to take as many pictures as I need without worrying about changing film. Digital gives the most control over the images. I can make adjustments and crop images as needed so you are presented with a beautiful finished product.
Q. What are proofs?
A. Proofs are the images from your wedding that I put up on my websiteso you and your family can log in and see your pictures.
Q. How long will it take to get proofs?
A. 3-5 weeks. I work as hard as I can to have your images done ASAP.
Q. Do I get copyright to my photos?
A. No. As the photographer and creator of the images, I retain full copyrightto all the images. Copyright allows the creator to use the images forpromotion on any medium without a model release.
The client in most cases receives a reproduction rights which allows the clientthe ability to make as many print reproductions as they wish. If purchasedor as part of your package, you will receive all the final edited images inhigh resolution JPEG format with a reproduction release.
