Frequently Asked Questions

Question: We live overseas and we are coming to Venice for our Wedding, Symbolic Wedding or Honeymoon.

Answer: No problem, I have worked with clients who live in UK, The Netherland, Austria, Germany, Spain, USA, Australia, New Zeeland, South Africa, China, Japan and Italian of course.

Question: Do you photograph only religious Weddings?

Answer: No I've great experience in Civil, Religious [Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Greek Orthodox, Jewish] and Symbolic Wedding!

Question: What shooting style do you use for Weddings?

Answer: I practice photojournalism, also called documentary or reportage photography, which is "capturing" the image, not "creating" it. My objective is to tell the story of the wedding using the camera, remaining unobtrusive. I will try not imposing myself or taking longer than necessary. Is recommended to have a pre-wedding meeting to develop our understanding.

Question: What is included in the standard package?

Answer: I would normally cover the preparations at the bride's Hotel, the groom and family at the ceremony beforehand, the ceremony, the signing of the register, the couple leaving, group shots of the immediate families and a private moment with just the couple, shots at the reception, the cutting of the cake, the toasts if any... A walking along the Venice Calli and a Gondola ride is strongly suggested!

Question: How many photos do you take during a typical Wedding day?

Answer: For three hours assignment will not be less than 500.

Question: Wath about the Cost?

Answer: My pricing for Wedding, Special Event and Family Portraiture photography is very straightforward and is primarily based on the amount of time I will spend with you.

Question: What happens if it rains on our Weddings or Honeymoon day?

Answer: I will shoot as much as practically possible and you may get a bit wet.

Question: We want something contemporary but our parents want some traditional posed photos too. Can you do both?

Answer: Yes I can, I enjoy documentary style and informal portraits, but I am experienced enough to take simple posed group portraits, synonymous with traditional wedding photography.

Question: If you are using a digital camera, what to do to have prints in black and white (B&W)?

Answer: Digital photography gives great flexibility when it comes to B&W prints. The professional digital camera system I use records each image in high-resolution color.

In fact, when your DVD of Wedding images arrives, you have one choices on screen: color, but with the supplied software Canon Digital Photo Professional it will be very easy to transform the files from color to B&W.

By adjusting the colors of the image before converting it to B&W, the conversion process can be highly selective and greatly controlled. Some images can definitely benefit from this process.

Question: After how many days the DVDs with the images of my Wedding will be ready to be shipped?

Answer: I usually have the DVDs burned within two or three days, ready to be sent to your address, via RR registered mail.

Question: What is your medium of choice: digital, film or both?

Answer: After many years of film-based photography I now shoot wedding exclusively in digital. Although I can shoot film in outdoor on request (color or B&W).

Question: Do you have backup equipment?

Answer: You never know when something could fail at an important moment, so yes.

Question: What do you wear to Weddings?

Answer:  Do I wear a suit and tie? No, because it makes me feel restricted, working with two cameras means I dress neatly but in a practical manner.

Question: Contract

Answer: If you thing is necessary I have a simple contract, which ensures there is no misunderstanding between the couple and photographer on the agreed terms and conditions.

Question: Can you make a web page of our Wedding photographs?

Answer: Yes, I make a web page of your wedding photography (at no extra cost).
