| What's your approach to wedding photography? |
I'm honored to have had the privilege of photographing over a hundred weddings. I approach every wedding day with a fresh, keen eye and without a preconceived idea of how your day will unfold. I maintain a strong documentary style in order to blend in with your guests and capture moments from the subtle to the most emotional.
| Who are your clients? |
Couples who are thrilled to marry each other! -- and to experience every moment of their wedding to its fullest.
| How much is the cost to book a date with you?
Complete packages begin at $3500. Send me an e-mail with your wedding date/location details for a full pricelist.
| How many photos can we expect to receive? |
As a digital photographer, there is no limit to the number of photos I will make. The very best will be delivered to you in a comprehensive edit of 800-1000 photos.
| Do you offer a Photobooth? |
Yes! All you need is about 12x12 feet of space near the dance floor. Click here to view a sample Photobooth gallery. These photos will be available online in your wedding gallery for both you and guests to browse/buy. For an additional fee, on-site printing is available if you would like your guests to be able to take home a photo that evening.
| Do you carry back-up equipment and insurance? |
I have back-up equipment of all gear and shoot with (3) professional Nikon camera bodies and the fastest lenses available. A liability insurance certificate is available if your venue requests it.
| Color v.s. black-and-white? |
Black-and-white photos have a timeless storytelling quality, and no set of wedding photographs would be complete without them. Although I shoot all photos in color, I will process at least 20% of your photos in black-and-white.
| Do you bring a second shooter? |
Yes. I highly recommend having a second shooter at every event. This makes it possible for you to have simultaneous coverage in two different places, as well as having the advantage of two different perspectives.
| What is the time frame in which we can expect to receive our photos after the wedding? |
(2) weeks after the wedding, you will receive a link to your highlight slideshow (100-200 images) which can be forwarded to guests. (4) weeks after the wedding, you will receive a link to your full online wedding gallery, categorized in sections from each part of the day. Guests can also view your photos here and buy prints through an online shopping cart. Your DVD will also be shipped to you at this time.
| How does the album-making process work? |
After you've received your full wedding gallery, you will need to choose which photos are most important to you. Using the shopping cart, you can drag and drop your choices to create an order. I will do my best to work as many of your choices into the album design as possible. As soon as your album design is online, I will send you a link where you can either approve or make changes. Once you have approved the album, you will have it in about 2 weeks.
| Do you travel for destination weddings? |
I'm available for hire anywhere in the world.
| How do we book with you? |
E-mail me directly at lauren.slusher@gmail.com and tell me about your wedding! I'll send you a detailed pricelist and availability. From there, we can set up a meeting via phone, Skype or in-person. To book and reserve your date, it only takes about 5 minutes to sign the contract and make a retainer payment online.
