FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
How do I reserve the date?
After the first contact, I send you a detailed presentation of the options available. You choose the one that best suits your goals, and we meet to work out the details. With the most important points defined, it is time to sign the contract and reserve the date with the payment of 30% of the total value.
How long do I have to wait for the pictures?
60 working days after the big day you will have your photos with you to relive every emotion.
How do the payments work?
The payments are divided into 3 installments, as follows: 30% at the signing of the contract, 35% up to 30 days before the wedding, and the remaining 35% until the wedding day.
You can make them by cash, bank transfer, MBWay, and PayPal.
Do you travel all over the country?
Yes, I go all over the country. The displacements within the Algarve are included. For other parts of the country I charge a fair value for travel (calculated based on an online travel cost simulator) and stay, if necessary depending on the distance.
How do we sign the contract?
It is simple. Through a brief questionnaire I collect your data, draw up the contract according to what we discussed and the options chosen, and send it to you signed by me. All you have to do is check that everything is ok, sign it, and return a copy.
How many photos do you deliver?
I always value quality over quantity. For this reason, I do not indicate an exact number. I guarantee a minimum of 600 images in the simplest option and have no maximum limit.
Do you edit all the photos?
All the images I deliver are edited to achieve the characteristic look of my photographic identity, always safeguarding the authenticity of the image and never exceeding the limits of reality.
How many photographers will I have at my wedding?
I will be your photographer. By doing it alone I guarantee that the story of your day will follow a single guiding line that results from my sensitivity and perspective. However, there is the option of bringing a second photographer as a complement, if that is your wish.
Will you publish my wedding on your website/social networks?
Yes, my work consists of creating images and the only way I can show the world what I do is by publishing some images of your wedding. I do this only for promotional purposes and there is a clause in the contract that provides for such use.
What is the engagement session like?
The engagement session works as a session for two and is essentially a celebration of your love and the step you are taking. It also has the advantage of working as preparation for the big day, because we can get to know each other better, create empathy and even anticipate some situations for the wedding day.
You provide for photographic recording for a maximum of 12 hours. What if we think it is not enough?
No problem. You can contract in advance as many extra hours as you want. If, by chance, on the day itself, we see that those extra hours are not necessary after all, we settle the accounts in the payment of the last installment.
How is it with your meal?
Ideally, you should make sure with the caterer that I eat lunch/dinner at the same time as you and in a location very close to your room. That way, I can eat while keeping an eye on what's going on and can easily jump into action if needed.
FAMILY, COUPLE AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
How does the payment of the session work?
Payments are divided into 2 installments, as follows: 50% when booking the date, and the remaining 50% on the day of the session.
You can make them by cash, bank transfer, MBWay, and PayPal.
Do you travel to other parts of the country?
Yes. Travel is free within a 20km radius of Altura. After that, I charge a fair amount for travel (calculated based on an online travel cost simulator).
How long will it take you to deliver the work?
You will have your photos with you within 15 working days.
How many photos do you deliver?
I always value quality over quantity.
For Couple Sessions and Family Sessions I deliver a minimum of 60 photos and have no upper limit.
In the Alone Sessions, I deliver a minimum of 30 photos and also have no upper limit.
Do you edit all the photos?
All the images I deliver are edited to achieve the characteristic look of my photographic identity, always safeguarding the authenticity of the image and never exceeding the limits of reality.
Will you publish my session on your site/social networks?
Yes, my job is to create images and the only way I can show the world what I do is to publish some of the images from the sessions. I do it for promotional purposes only.
How long does the session last?
The Two Session and the Family Session take approximately 1 hour each. However, time is not controlled and I let the session flow until I feel there is nothing left to photograph.
In the Alone Session, each session also lasts approximately 1 hour, also without being controlled.
The important thing is that our meeting results in photographs that you are proud of and that represent you.
What time do you recommend starting the session?
I always recommend that the sessions take place in the late afternoon, when the sun is already falling. In the guide I will send you for booking the session, I give tips on the time, place, clothes and accessories to help you make choices.
I have doubts about choosing the location of the session, can you help me?
Of course. I always leave it up to the client to choose the location, or at least the environment (beach, country, mountains, city, etc.), but I will give you my suggestions to make the choice simpler.
I don't know what to wear, any tips?
Yes, I have some tips to help you decide what clothes to bring. I send everything in the guide.
