Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Workflow
1. We have a phone conference to discuss the details of your event and create a unique package that fits you and your budget.
2. You access your client portal to finalize and confirm the details.
3. We contact all vendors including your venue to provide necessary insurance certificates, itineraries and any behind the scenes details essential to your event.
4. We then cover all aspects of your event specific to your contract.
5. We then do basic editing on the images such as color, exposure and cropping.
6. Images are then uploaded to your personal online album along with a few images to your unique limited gallery phone app. Images are available to share and to order prints.
7. Once you select your favorites, we then create prints, albums, etc. according to what is included in your custom package and then ship them right to you. Albums and prints vary in time from production to shipping. Prints usually take a few weeks, whereas albums can take as much as 90 days once the design has been approved by you.

I then started photographing people and had one of my first models signed, in fashion shows for Armani by the age of 18, in which I also had my first front cover publication Internationally. By the age of 20 I was already shooting over 50 weddings and events a year throughout the tri-state area, then over 80 a year by the time I was 23. I met Nina working multiple photo events in NYC.
