| Frequently Asked Questions |
| |
Why is Latte Productions Photography so inexpensive when compared to other firms offering similar services, am I missing something? |
| |
Our firm has never followed the traditional norms of photographers in our industry. Our entire business model is focused around a few very important core principles: You only pay for the actual time spent working for you, No-One at our firm is solely dependent on the revenue brought in from our work with you, Complete and limitless coverage for you on your big day, and minimal overhead to keep expenses low. Through these key functions of our firm, we can provide the same ( or even better ) level of service to you without it costing a small fortune to do so. |
| |
What is No-Limit Time? |
| |
No-Limit time to our firm is just that, no implied time limitations on how long we will be involved with capturing your big day throughout the entire day and night. Typically we find ourselves at your service from 10am (starting with prep shots) straight through until 1am (when you generally exit the reception). We do not bill extra if your day starts a little earlier or ends a little later, or both. Alternatively, we do not refund any "unused" time, the actual time we are at your event is only a small part of the overall time spend to see your photos finished perfectly. |
| |
What is No-Limit Photos? |
| |
No-Limit photos for our photographers means that we are not monitoring our exposure count by stopping or slowing down according to a specific quota. Every event is different and has its own flow. Some wedding may result in 1500+ photos while others may be more or fewer. We do not guarantee any specific quantity of photos but do wish to let you know that if we feel many shots are not being had which we know you are looking for, we will begin to set some up for you. We are constantly and proactively looking for the next shot, not waiting for it. |
| |
What is No-Limit Travel and how is the 100km allowance worked in?
|
| |
Most wedding occur within our general geographic area. For that, we assume that our initial meeting place, your engagement session, the delivery location of your photos, and your wedding days plans are all relatively within our general geographic area. Under those such conditions, we do not monitor our travel or apply limits. We carry a 100km allowance to cover our initial travel to and from your wedding day plans. It is important to note that although your wedding day plans may be local, engagement sessions which call for distant travel may be subject to a nominal fee. Best to ask us if you are unsure, we're quite flexible in seeing your day done your way. |
| |
What is your normal turnaround? |
| |
Most couples can expect to receive their finished photos within two weeks. During the peak wedding season this time may grow by up to one week. We will always aim to have your finished photos in your hands in the shortest possible time and are happy to work to specific time constraints if need be. Photobook turnaround is subject to the clients acceptance of the presented design, reworking the design adds additional time to the turnaround of the finished product. Once confirmed, the photobook will take approximately two weeks to be delivered to you. |
| |
How far in advance do I need to book with you? |
| |
While short notice subject to our availability is not a problem, we do insist on booking as soon as possible to secure your wedding day as well as your package price. Our firm has restricted its growth to avoid excessive overhead, when a wedding is booked no other weddings can be covered on that day ( and depending on the location of the wedding, sometimes an entire weekend is blocked off for a single booked day ). Package prices often increase as we become more booked up and need to add additional resources to satisfy our overwhelming success over the past years. Once a deposit is received, your package price will not increase. |
| |
When do I book my engagement session? |
| |
Engagement session times are up to you and your schedule. We ask for a few weeks advanced notice in case we have a prior event booked on that day. We suggest that during the wedding season ( June - September ) that you aim for a weekday or Sunday as Saturdays are generally booked up with All-Day/Night weddings. In the event of rain on your engagement day which prevents us from capturing your photos, we will be happy to simply reschedule. |
| |
What type of equipment does your firm use? |
| |
Our photographers use only professional-grade D-SLR cameras with a vast array of lenses for all conditions. Each camera is equipped with an externally mounted flash unit for directional light control. We also have backup equipment available to ensure uninterrupted coverage in case something happens to our equipment while on location. We only use class-4 or higher memory and have sufficient quantities of replacement batteries to last a week of shooting. All post production is performed on either our 27" iMac Quad or 21.5" iMac Duo using the most current industry recognized editing products and techniques. |
| |
Why do I have to pay tax? |
| |
As a legally registered business operating in Ontario, Latte Productions Photography declares its revenue at the end of every fiscal year. The law requires that all businesses of our nature collect and pay taxes in accordance to the rules set out by the CRA. All payments made to our firm are accompanied with invoices and receipts made out to you so that you can use them towards tax filings or for your own accounting records. Electing to go with a photographer who insists on an "under-the-table" payment is considered tax evasion and very dangerous to the client for many obvious reasons. |
