Do you offer digital negatives or high-resolution files? (They are the same thing.)
Yes! A high-res disk with print permissions is included in ALL of our wedding packages. That way, you have the photos forever and can always go back and do more with them. We take tons of pictures at every wedding and we want YOU to have them, forever.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes, we love to go places! We'll go just about anywhere and
would be happy to provide you with our regional and national wedding packages based on the location
of your event.
I'm from out of town but I'm getting married in Knoxville
(or somewhere else) and won't be able to meet with you in person. What can we
do?
We can easily discuss everything you'd like to via phone, email, skype, etc. Send us an message with your date and we'll set up a time to chat on the phone and look at
some things online. If you decide to book us, we'll keep in touch
with you and be good friends by the time your date rolls around.
Do you recommend Engagement Sessions?
Absolutely! First, it is the perfect opportunity for us to
get to know each other better and work together before the big day. Second,
it's great practice - unless you are Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt, you're probably not
super comfortable having your picture taken and this will certainly help! Third,
the engagement pics will hopefully be some your favorites - the last great
photos of you before you're married. Plus, shots from your engagement session
are perfect for guest books, save the date cards, etc.
How do we book you?
All we need is a signed
contract and your retainer fee. Unfortunately we cannot reserve your date and
turn down other couples without both of those items in hand.
What is your retainer fee?
We require 50% of the package you select to reserve your date. The remaining 50% is due by the date of your wedding.
Who will be our photographer?
We (Dan and Natalie Watson) shoot every wedding and
engagement session together. With us, you will never get one photographer
and an assistant, or someone we haven't worked with much. We each have 10 years of experience as professional photographers. We both earned our Master's
degrees in photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. When
you hire us, you are hiring two full-time professional photographers to capture twice the fun moments you have with your friends, twice the sweet looks you
give each other, and twice the memories.
Can you work with our wedding planner/event coordinator?
Of course. We are happy to work with other
professionals involved with your wedding in order to make the event as seamless
as possible.
To ask us anything else or get more information, please contact us anytime - we can't wait to hear from you!
Happy Planning!!
