FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

As a wedding photographers, we frequently receive questions from couples who want to ensure that they are getting the best possible service for their special day. We understand that every wedding is unique, and we welcome any and all questions from couples to ensure that we are providing them with the best possible service and that their wedding day is captured in the most beautiful and meaningful way possible. There are several important questions that wedding couples ask us before they book our services. Here are some of the most important ones:

Are you available on my wedding date?

The answer to this question is dependent on our schedule. We work on a first-come, first-served basis, and our availability is limited. We recommend that couples get in touch with us as early as possible to secure their wedding date. If we are available on the wedding date, we can discuss further details about our services and determine if we are a good fit for the couple’s needs and preferences.

What is your photography style?

We specialize in a natural and candid style of photography, with an emphasis on capturing genuine moments and emotions. We strive to create authentic and creative images that tell the story of the wedding day in a beautiful and meaningful way. We also incorporate some traditional elements, such as group shots and posed portraits, but our main focus is on capturing the natural flow of the wedding day. We believe that this approach creates timeless and meaningful images that our clients can cherish for years to come.

Can I see examples of your previous work?

We have a portfolio of our work available on our website, which showcases a variety of weddings we have photographed in the past. Additionally, we regularly update our blog with recent weddings we have photographed and advice for wedding planning. We believe that this provides a good sense of our style and approach to wedding photography and our knowledge and experience. However, if couples would like to see a full gallery from a wedding day, we ask that they get in touch with us directly, and we will be happy to provide them with a complete set of images from a previous wedding we have photographed.

What is included in your wedding photography packages?

We offer two collections, which include different services and features. Our collections include a pre-meeting to get to know each other, coverage from preparations until dinner or late, a bride and groom private session, a USB drive with a certain number of fully edited high-resolution images, a private online gallery to share with friends and family, a wedding story slideshow, and travel in Ireland included. We can also provide additional services such as second photographer, engagement shoots, wedding albums, and prints, which can be added on to our packages for an additional fee.

We understand that choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision, and we want to ensure that you have all the information you need to make the best choice for your wedding day. We encourage couples to check out our experience and pricing pages on our website, which provide more detailed information about our services, experience, and pricing. We believe that transparency is key, and we want to make sure that you have a clear understanding of what to expect from our services and what we offer.

We are happy to discuss further details about our packages and services with couples who are interested in our photography services.

How many hours of coverage are included?

Coverage depends on the package selected by the couple. Our collections include coverage from preparations until dinner or late, which typically covers around 8-12 hours of photography. We understand that every wedding is unique, and we can discuss with the couple to customize their coverage based on their specific needs and preferences. We are flexible and willing to work with couples to ensure that we capture all the important moments of their special day.

Do you have backup equipment and a backup plan in case of emergencies?

We always carry backup equipment with us to every wedding we photograph, including cameras, lenses, batteries and memory cards. We also have a backup plan in case of emergencies, such as unforeseen weather conditions or equipment failure. We understand the importance of capturing every moment of a wedding day, and we take every precaution to ensure that we are fully prepared to handle any situation that may arise. Our backup equipment and plan allow us to continue photographing the wedding day without interruption, ensuring that we deliver the best possible photos to our clients.

What is your experience photographing weddings?

We have been photographing weddings professionally since 2008. In that time, we have photographed a wide range of weddings, from small and intimate gatherings to large and extravagant celebrations. We have experience working in different venues and locations, and we are familiar with the challenges and opportunities that each one presents.

In addition to our experience photographing weddings in Ireland, we have also had the privilege of shooting several destination weddings in various locations abroad. We love traveling and exploring new places, and we believe that every wedding is an adventure. We look forward to working with couples who are passionate about creating unique and memorable experiences on their special day. Our goal is to use our experience and expertise to provide the best possible service to our clients and to capture their wedding day in a beautiful and meaningful way, whether it’s in a local venue or a far-off destination.

What is the process for booking your wedding photography services?

To book our wedding photography services, the first step is to contact us via our contact page or directly email at iwona@igstudio.ie or greg@igstudio.ie to check if we are available on your wedding date. If you would like, we can also arrange to meet in person to get to know each other and discuss your wedding photography needs in more detail. If you decide to book us, we will require a deposit and a signed contract to secure your date. Once we have received your deposit and signed contract, we will provide you with a payment receipt and your wedding date will be officially secured. The booking process is simple, easy, and can be done entirely online for your convenience. We strive to provide our clients with the best possible service and ensure that their wedding photography needs are met in a professional and stress-free manner. If you have any questions or concerns about the booking process, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Do you work with a second photographer or assistant?

We work with a second photographer or assistant when necessary or requested by the couple. Our collections include coverage by one photographer, but we can provide additional coverage by a second photographer or assistant for an additional fee. We believe that having a second photographer can provide additional coverage and perspectives, particularly during important moments such as the ceremony and reception. We can discuss further details about our second photographer or assistant services with couples who are interested in our photography services.

How long will it take to receive the final edited photos?

Typically around 3-5 weeks after the wedding day. We understand that couples are eager to see their photos, and we work diligently to deliver the final edited photos as soon as possible while maintaining our high standards of quality. We carefully review and edit every photo to ensure that each one meets our standards and that they tell the story of the wedding day in the best possible way. We also provide couples with a sneak peek of some of the best images shortly after the wedding day to give them a preview of what’s to come.

What is your policy on delivering the digital files?

We provide the final edited photos in high-resolution digital format, typically via an online gallery or USB drive. We believe that our clients should have full access to their photos, and we provide them with the digital files without any watermarks or restrictions on printing or sharing. We also provide a resized version of the photos for easy sharing on social media and email. We encourage couples to back up their digital files in multiple locations to ensure that they have a secure and long-lasting copy of their wedding photos. One of the best backup options for their images can be our premium wedding album, which is a high-quality and timeless way to showcase their photos and memories. Our premium wedding albums are handmade with smart textile and eco-leather covers and come in a variety of styles and colors to personalize to the couple’s taste. They also come with a beautiful presentation box to protect and showcase the album. We are happy to discuss further details about our wedding album options with couples who are interested in our photography services.

Are there any additional fees or charges not included in the package price?

Our wedding photography collections include all the services and features listed in the pricing page. Of course, we do offer additional services such as engagement shoots, wedding albums, and prints, which can be added on to our collections for an additional fee. We are transparent about our pricing and fees, and we discuss all costs upfront with our clients before booking our services. We believe that transparency and honesty are key to building trust and providing the best possible service to our clients.

What is your approach to working with couples and capturing their vision for their wedding day?

We believe in working closely with our clients to understand their vision and preferences for their wedding day. We encourage open communication and collaboration to ensure that we capture the couple’s unique style and personality in their wedding photos. We take the time to get to know our clients before the wedding day to understand their expectations and preferences, and we encourage them to share sample images or ideas that they have in mind. This helps us to better understand their vision and style and to tailor our approach to their needs. We are happy to follow the couple’s vision as much as possible, and we provide guidance and suggestions when needed to ensure that we capture the best possible images of their special day. We believe that our approach to working with couples results in beautiful and authentic wedding photos that our clients can cherish for a lifetime.

When should I decide if I want a wedding album?

You can decide to include a wedding album in your package before or after your wedding day. We understand that choosing the perfect album can take time and we don’t want our clients to feel rushed. However, we do recommend not waiting too long as the memories and emotions of your special day can start to fade with time. We have samples of our premium wedding albums that you can see and touch before making your decision. You can select the images for your album yourself, and we will send the album for final print only after we receive your approval. This way, you know exactly what you are getting. If you prefer, we can select the images for you and pre-design your album. We will work together until you are completely satisfied with the design.

What are the payment options available for your wedding photography services?

We offer a variety of payment options to make it easy for our clients to pay for our wedding photography services. You can choose to pay by cheque, bank draft, bank transfer, cash, or Paypal. We understand that different clients have different preferences when it comes to payment, and we aim to be as flexible as possible to accommodate their needs. We will discuss the payment options and details with our clients during the booking process and ensure that everything is clear and transparent.

Do you have insurance for your wedding photography services?

Yes, we are fully insured for all our wedding photography services. Our insurance coverage includes Public/Products Liability, professional indemnity, employers liability, and all equipment insurance. We understand that accidents and unforeseen events can happen, and we want to ensure that our clients are protected and have peace of mind when they hire us for their special day. We have never had any accidents or incidents, but we believe that having comprehensive insurance coverage is essential for any professional wedding photographer.

Do we need to provide a meal for our wedding photographer?

If you book us for a full day of wedding photography services (usually around 11-12 hours of work), we kindly request that a hot meal is provided for us. This is especially important if your wedding is in a private or reserved venue where there may not be a bar or restaurant nearby for us to buy food. We understand that feeding your wedding photographer may not be a top priority for every couple, but it is an important consideration that can make a big difference in the quality of our work. By providing us with a hot meal, you are ensuring that we have the energy and stamina to capture every important moment of your special day. We will take a short break during the mealtime to recharge and prepare for the rest of the day’s events. We appreciate your consideration and thank you in advance for providing us with a meal during your wedding day.

Do you offer wedding photography services for destination weddings?

Yes, we offer wedding photography services for destination weddings. If you are planning to get married outside of Ireland, we would be delighted to discuss your wedding photography needs and help you capture your special day in a beautiful and meaningful way. We always try to keep all travel and accommodation expenses to a minimum to ensure that our services remain affordable and accessible to our clients. We understand that destination weddings require additional planning and coordination, and we have the experience and expertise to help make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our goal is to provide our clients with the same level of quality and professionalism that they would receive for a wedding in Ireland, regardless of the location. Please get in touch if you would like to learn more about our destination wedding photography services.
