Wedding FAQ

It’s your Wedding Day! It’s a day of Romance, a day of Beauty, a day of Celebration and a day of Love. It’s a day that you will remember for the rest of your life.

At Kimberly Noel Photography, I will tell your story one image at a time. From first glance to first dance, I will work with you to capture every memory in a variety of stylistic approaches from the traditional, to a more relaxed and candid photo-journalistic approach.

Here is a list of the most frequently asked questions to help you through your planning process:

Will you be the photographer shooting my wedding?

Yes, I will be the one photographing your wedding and doing all the editing of your wedding photographs.

When can I expect my pictures to be posted online?

Your pictures will be online and available for purchase within 4 weeks after your wedding.

Will it be a problem if I change my start time or want to change the number of photography coverage hours?

Not at all! I only schedule one wedding per day, so whatever time you want me there, I can be there. If you decide you need more coverage that too is not a problem; even if you decide the day of that you would like more coverage. If you decide the day of, I just ask that the additional payment be made by the end of the day.

Is there a limit on the number of pictures taken?

No. My job is to capture your memories. I will take as many pictures as necessary to make sure all your memories are recorded.

How long does it take to receive my DVD of wedding pictures?

Your DVD of wedding pictures will be delivered with your finished wedding album. Should the purchased collection not include a wedding album, your DVD will be delivered three months after the wedding.

Do you shoot film or digital?

I shoot digital. This allows me to get your pictures to you in a more timely fashion and also gives me full control over the editing process.

Do you bring back-up equipment?

Absolutely! I carry a full back-up set of equipment, including cameras, lenses, flashes, memory cards, batteries, etc.

Can guest take pictures while you are working?

Certainly. I understand that friends and family want to take pictures as well. I do ask that during the formals that I am able to work without distraction. It is important that everyone is looking at me during these pictures. If time allows, I can certainly let guest photograph a pose after I am finished shooting it. Should someone continually be in front of me while I am trying to capture a moment, I will politely ask them to stay behind or to the side of me.

Do you photograph in color, black and white, or both?

I shoot all pictures in color. If you would like, I can then convert a few of the pictures to black and white and/or sepia.

Do you have any suggestions about the formals/portraits?

Absolutely! Formal portraits can be the more grueling part of the day. I can certainly understand the desire to get to the reception and will try and make the portraits go as quick as possible. I will certainly work with whatever amount of time give, but my suggestion would be to allow at least 60 minutes for portraits. This gives enough time to get great pictures of the bride/groom together, as well as the bridal party and families. You might also want to consider doing some portraits prior to the wedding, or the day after.

Toward the end of the night I like to take a few minutes with the bridge and groom to get a few more romantic shots. During this time the bridge and groom get to spend a few minutes alone (something that probably has not happened yet during the day). The hope during this time is that you will forget about the camera and just be together. Many reception venues have beautiful surrounding which help produce gorgeous pictures.

How do we book you for our wedding?

Dates book up very quickly and I only consider a date booked when I receive a signed contract and a retainer fee. A retainer fee equal to 1/3 of the chosen collection is required to book your date. I cannot hold dates any other way. Contact me to see if your date is available and then we’ll set up a laid back consultation to talk about your wedding.
