Our prospective customers have many questions that need to be answered when selecting their wedding team. We have listed here many of the ones most often asked. If you’d like a copy of the FAQs as a reference, you are most welcome to download a printable version here
What is the style of UniqueDay Events photography?
Our wedding photography is our own style and doesn’t fit into any preconceived idea. Our customers will get a set of superb images that document the story of the wedding day. Your images will include romantic portraits, family photographs and fun candid shots.
How many Portfolios do you offer?
UniqueDay Events offers several portfolios that cover the photography requirements of most of our clients. If none of the Portfolios meets your complete needs we are happy to come up with a custom one just for you.
What length of coverage is included?
Our basic Portfolios include complete wedding day coverage.
Can we give you a list of formal shots we want taken?
We are not really people to work through a long list of family group shots to be honest. However, let us know your needs for “must have” images and we’ll do our best to capture them.
We also ask that you find a friend or family member that can help us with getting the people you need for the formals ready when we need them. Having the people available really speeds up this process.
Who will actually shoot our wedding?
All UniqueDay weddings are shot by David Holliday, with an assistant on-site as well.
That’s fine, but what if you are sick?
We are a member of a network of New England wedding photographers who help each other out in cases of emergency. You can be assured that in the unlikely event David is not available; a qualified professional will photograph your wedding.
Our Portfolio includes an Album. Do we have input in designing this?
Yes you do. Since our job is to record the story of your wedding day, we will put together a draft of the album based on our Unique style. Unique albums are always fun and edgey. If you want lots of serious posed family groups, you might want to look elsewhere. Better yet we’ll help you find someone.
When the draft is complete, we’ll arrange for you to review to the design and make any adjustments you would like to see.
As soon as you are happy with the layout and content, we will get your book printed and bound.
What is the slideshow that is in the package?
Our slideshows are proving to be one of the most popular items we produce. A show typically runs for about fifteen minutes and contains the best images from the wedding set to music. We provide the show in a format that can be viewed on a PC/Mac or on TV using a regular DVD player. If you’d like to see a sample, just let us know.
What about the images included on the CD? Are these digital negatives?
These images are high resolution JPEG files that have had basic colour correction and editing applied. You are welcome to use these for obtaining prints for your own and your family’s use. We will provide you with a Limited Copyright release that will allow the lab of your choice to produce your prints.
Should you want us to provide you with prints, you will note that our print prices are higher than those from most printing labs. This is because of the additional work we do on every file that we print to ensure that the quality is fantastic.
Can other people take pictures at our wedding?
As enthusiastic photographers, the last thing we want to do is stop people taking pictures. We encourage your guests to get involved in your day.
Note that one of the terms of our wedding contract is that we are the only professional photographer shooting the event.
We’d like to hire a videographer. Does this cause any problems?
Absolutely not, we enjoy working with video professionals and they have an important role to play in your wedding. One thing we always do is be courteous to videographers and try hard not to interfere with their work and get in their shots. We obviously expect the same courtesy to be extended to us.
How do we reserve our day?
Simple, we will reserve your day on receipt of a signed contract and the required retainer.
Why do we have to pay the full amount before the wedding?
Because most wedding photographers have found that it works. Having the payment before your wedding day allows us to concentrate on our artistic duties, not having to chase you for money.
Do you do engagement sessions?
An engagement session is included in all our Portfolios. This is to ensure that we get to know you better so that we can work together really well on your wedding day.
After the engagement session we will provide you with an on-line gallery of hi-resolution images that you are welcome to download and we will be happy to provide you with prints or books at our usual prices.
I searched at Google and The Knot and found hundreds of wedding photographers. Why should I choose you?
Great question! As you mention, there are many people who would like to photograph your wedding and it can be difficult to tell them apart.
We would suggest that you allow us about an hour of your time so we can talk about your wedding, the style you have in mind, and see if your personalities work with ours. You will spend a large part of your day with your photographer, so it had better be someone you want to work with.
We work best with people that are serious about photography who demand the creativity that we provide. Many of our clients are keen photographers themselves.
We have been involved with weddings, design and beauty for many years and we believe we make a large contribution to the success of a wedding day. Once you choose us, we will spend as much time with you as needed to ensure that you have memories of your wedding that you will be proud of.
