How can we secure our wedding date with Poppy Seed Photography?

First, contact me and we can make sure I am available for your wedding date. Next, I like to meet or have a phone conversation with my clients before they book me so we are able to get to know each other, and go over any questions you might have. I want to know about you as a couple, your style, and about your wedding day. After that, if you would like to book me, you can send me the $500 retainer and a signed contract, and you will secure me for your wedding date. The total balance is due 30 days prior to your wedding.

After you’ve sent the contract and down payment, contact me to set up your engagement session, if you are interested in having one! It’s a good way for us to get to know each other, and it makes great images for “save the date” announcements!

And then what happens?

I will send you a signed copy of the contract and will plan to call you about a week or two prior to your wedding to discuss your wedding timeline. But, by all means, feel free to contact me before then if you have any questions about wedding planning and schedules.

When will we see our photos?

Your images will be posted to an online proof gallery within three weeks of your wedding, just in time for you to return from your honeymoon!

What does it mean to have personal print rights?

Poppy Seed Photography provides a CD/DVD with high resolution .jpg files and a personal print right release to the photographs. This means you are free to post them to social media, email them, or have them printed from any lab of your choosing.

If you want to order through my professional labs, you may do so through your online proof gallery.

I maintain the copyright of the images which means your images may appear on my website, blog, or other business related materials.

Do you shoot destination weddings?

Yes! Please contact me if you are planning a destination wedding to discuss your options. I love to travel!

What if a photography permit or fee is required for a location we want to go to?

You are responsible for obtaining any permits and covering any fees required for the shoot.

Do you have any references?

Yes, again. Check out my Praise page, as well as WeddingWire.com to view reviews by past couples.

Copyrights

What does “copyright protected” mean?, Why can’t I scan my pictures from a professional?, and Why won’t you just give me the images on a CD?

In 1976 the federal government passed a law making it illegal to copy and scan materials protected by copyright, including professional photography. Our studio invests heavily in training, education and equipment to provide you with the highest quality photography possible. Poppy Seed Photography has reserved the copyright on each portrait we create. It is illegal to scan, reproduce, copy, or screen capture any of our proofs, portraits, and online viewing proofs. Please do not steal from us. Not only is it illegal, it’s just not nice. Any reproduction of our images without written copyright release is considered a federal offense. If you want prints or digital copies of your images they are available for purchase.
