Wedding Photography FAQ

All you need to do is fill out the consultation form, fire me an e-mail or give me a call (403-837-4614) to set up a time to meet - at the meeting we will discuss what you are looking for exactly (hours of coverage, location of your wedding, specifics on formal photos & locations, the style of your wedding & any other questions you might have for me). After the contract is filled out I require a retainer to reserve your day.

I require 50% down payment along with your signed contract to book your date. The final 50% is due on a post-dated check for the day of your session. If you like, the remaining payment can be made prior to the session.

Depending on the details of your wedding I suggest booking as soon as you have set the date & know the amount of coverage you will need. Due to the nature of the wedding season I book on a first come first booking basis. Although I would love to shoot your wedding I can't guarantee your day unless the retainer has been received.

I accept cash, cheque & e-mail money transfer. If a cheque is provided there will be a holding period and no material will be given out until the check has been cleared. *All bounced checks are subject to a $50 fee*

Yes you certainly do! The large wedding package includes an engagement session free of charge! If you book your engagement package at the same time as your Wedding package you will get $100 off.

It depends on your individual style, the location will be fit to match. We will discuss your locations when you book your coverage. Because I have been shooting in Calgary for over 10 years I know a variety of different locations both indoors and outdoors that I would be more then happy to provide you with to help you decide what best suits your style. I do both on location and studio sessions.

Yes! If time allows you can have as many as you want (within the city limits) Outside the city limits there is an additional charge for mileage.

Yes!! I love to travel. I have been all over the world! Feel free to inquire on the specifics of international/destination wedding investment.

I love to do destination sessions. If you want to split the travel cost with another couple that is totally fine! Make arrangements with the couple and then contact me to arrange the scheduling of your sessions.

I highly recommend booking an engagement session. A. It's a blast to walk around with your partner and have images that capture who you are together. B. The attention and camera are focused on you, it's your time to shine - You will feel completely at ease. These sessions also allow us to get to know each other - after all we will be spending a full day together. I really get the essence of who you are together and it allows me to see how you move and flow so on your wedding day I might suggest different shots that will work best for you and your partner.

Totally! I have had a few couples that brought vintage suitcases or fancy umbrellas along to use in their formal photos. Anything goes, this is your session.

I love making sign-in albums! Here's how it works: After your engagement session we go over what photos you want in your book and I lay it out with negative space on the pages - this allows your guests to have areas of white or black to write their messages on. (Other colours available but white and black look the best).

You will proof all photos that make it into your albums and are printed through Sarah Pukin Photography before printing. That way anything you might want can be done before your products are ordered.

Your session will be provided in an online proofing system (1-2 days after your session) where you will be able to see all the photos in a low resolution for fast viewing. From there you will be able to see the file number (located below each photo) all you have to do is fire me off an e-mail with your photo selections. (A list of print pricing is available by request)

Certainly, feel free to share it with who ever you like!
