Yes, we do! We use a variety of cameras both film and digital. From toy film cameras, vintage film cameras to the most modern medium format film and digital cameras. We don't give you a specific amount of film we shoot as each wedding differs in timing, lighting and overall feel. So we choose the best camera for that moment to capture it how we feel works best to document that memory and emotion. If you absolutely love film let us know!!

We absolutely prefer to have a list for all groupings wanted captured on the wedding day. Please be weary that more than 20-25 combinations will tire out the couple, wedding party, and family. Imagine each combination to average 2-3 minutes. Try to keep it simple to make this time fun.  Be sure to check weather and adjust photo list to accommodate comfort levels. If there are other unique items or situations that aren't "normal" to a typical wedding day we would love to know about that. However, we prefer not to have an overly large list where we feel we need to tick items off instead of spending your day naturally capturing it how it unfolds. So the answer is yes and no respectively.  

The timeline for photos ranges from 8 to 14 weeks, depending on the timing of the season. We Always get you a 150+ image sneak peek within 3 weeks of the wedding (after we get the film processed) so you have some to enjoy and share while you wait for the final edit. We do our best stay in touch with you as to when we have your wedding in queue and working on it to give you a confirmed date of delivery.

While each wedding is different with lighting and timing some weddings will get more black & whites then others. On average we deliver 20-30% of the images in black & white. We will shoot some B&W film. Others will be converted to B&W because the lighting may have been mixed or dark, shutter dragged or higher iso used. Other times we use our artistic preference in presenting an image that may feel more photojournalistic or editorial in feeling, with more emotions etc. Often times we deliver the same image in both color and black and white if we feel it is lovely in both.. This is where you trust our art in the final editing.

Yes! While we are located in the Napa Valley and often photograph the destination weddings of couples from out of town here in the valley, we absolutely love to travel to document weddings all over the world.  We have traveled as far as Bali, Canada, Mexico and many locations throughout the United States as well.  Travel fees will occur outside of two hours drive from Napa and will be assessed upon further inquiry. For destinations outside of California we will give an hour of coverage complimentary to offset the cost of additional travel fees. We also arrive at the destination one full day prior to first day of photographing to make sure there is time for any travel delays, jet lag, and also to scout wedding venue! (Typically for a Saturday wedding with a friday welcome dinner we arrive Wednesday evening. )
