FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY DO YOU WORK IN TWO?
As the saying goes, four eyes see better than two!
We photograph your wedding from two different perspectives and can focus on all the important details of your big day. Two photographers means that the bride and groom have their own photographer and while you are shooting with one of us, the other is dedicated to your guests.
On your wedding day there are many important moments that take place at the same time and can therefore be perfectly covered by two photographers.
-
The bride and groom getting ready usually takes place at the same time, sometimes at two different locations. It is impossible for a photographer to be in both places at the same time.
​
-
The first look is such an exciting moment that should definitely be denied from two perspectives. Both the bride's and the groom's emotion should be documented at the same time.
​
-
Moving in is a magical moment of your wedding. Here, one of us focuses on the groom, who is about to be overwhelmed by the sight of his bride-to-be. The second lens is dedicated to the brilliant entry of the bride. Together we can capture all your emotions without disturbing the ceremony.
​
-
When the rings are exchanged, the second photographer will capture the happy tears and emotions of your guests.
​
-
The group photo is easier and more efficient to coordinate, especially with a large number of guests, if this is done by 2 photographers. You don't have to wait long for everyone to be well positioned and ready to smile for the camera.
​
-
For family photos and bridesmaid/groomsmen photos, the second photographer can continue to document your celebration while you're busy.
-
During the couple shots, the second photographer stays with your guests, can document the lively events of your celebration while you are away and will capture all the lovingly designed details of your table.
​
-
As a bridal couple, you can also offer your guests the opportunity to benefit from us. One of us is only available to your guests to take beautiful photos for the album. After all, not every day is a wedding and it's just a special day to dress up. Your guests will be very happy about a nice couple or family photo.
​
-
As a couple, we don't have to change positions between important moments to get different perspectives. This allows us to act in a particularly inconspicuous manner and achieve the best result for you.
​
-
If we work in pairs, it is possible for us to look for even more exciting perspectives and perspectives. One of us always stays close to the bridal couple, while the second climbs onto the roof of a house to take a nice overview photo from a bird's eye view.
​
-
We really don't miss any of your moments. The attentive work of two wedding photographers simply doubles the opportunity to get unforgettable photos for your wedding reportage.
CAN YOU BOOK INDIVIDUALLY?
Of course, we also offer the accompaniment of a wedding by just one photographer. Normally we accompany short or small weddings alone.
However, from many years of experience we know the advantages of having 2 photographers accompany this big day.
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH ABROAD?
Yes, yes, yes and again YES. We love destination weddings and destination engagement shoots.
We come wherever you decide to get married and look forward to being part of your exciting journey.
THE TRAVEL WILL BE CHARGED EXTRA?
Travel costs are incurred for weddings outside of Vienna. If you let us know your wedding location, we can give you information about the amount of the costs.
If it is necessary for us to accompany you by car in Vienna and parking costs arise for this time, we will pass these on to you 1:1.
WHAT ABOUT ACCOMMODATION COSTS?
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME FOR AN INQUIRY/BOOKING?
DO YOU ONLY PHOTOGRAPH WEDDINGS?
Accommodation costs may apply if your wedding location is a few hours away from Vienna and/or you have booked a full-day report.
We absolutely want to be fresh, happy and alert on your wedding day, so we are happy to arrive a day earlier if you are farther away.
We can leave the choice of hotel to you or select a cost-effective one that is coordinated with you.
In any case, the motto here is: the early bird catches the worm or, in your case, the photographer of your choice.
Due to the limited number of weekends that summer has to offer, we recommend that you inquire as early as possible if the documentation of your wedding is important to you. If you want to hear a number now: then about 1 year in advance.
For civil weddings during the week, 3-6 months in advance is sufficient.
We all have a sound photographic education and can cover many photographic areas with our knowledge. First and foremost we are wedding photographers, but we also shoot portraits, events, family architecture...
So if you are planning something else and are looking for a photographer, then we look forward to your inquiry.
Shall we meet before the wedding?
Yes, of course! We always meet with our bridal couples in advance and get to know each other. It is important that you gain trust in us by getting to know us personally and that we swim with you on the same wavelength. This is the only way we can capture an authentic and natural wedding reportage for you. We are also old hands in the wedding world and you can benefit from the tips we give you when we discuss your wedding schedule.
​
After your booking we will also stay in touch. We write emails or call each other if there are any changes to the process.
A personal meeting is not possible due to geographical conditions? No problem, thanks to the technology. We can either skype, facetime or whatsapp ;)
DO YOU VISIT THE LOCATION IN ADVANCE?
CAN YOU BOOK LESS THAN 6 HOURS?
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PHOTOGRAPHER GOES ILL?
Yes and no.
Since we have already had many weddings, we already know numerous locations. In principle, we always arrive at least one to two hours before the start of our report on your wedding day in order to prepare ourselves and take a look at the surroundings.
We leave nothing to chance and on the day of the wedding before the start of the report we think about where we can take the best photos.
Since this depends on the light and vegetation, it is best for us to make these decisions on our day of work - your wedding.
In the off-season from October to April we also offer a "Mini Wedding Package" from 3 hours.
If you are getting married in summer and you are not sure how long you would like to book us, just ask us and we can discuss it over a good coffee.
The same applies to short civil marriages.
Since we are a team of four trained photographers, one of us is usually free as a backup.
​
We offer you a full-fledged substitute photographer who follows the same style of photography and image processing.
WHAT DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH DURING A FULL DAY
REPORT?
IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET THE RAWS?
WHY DO YOU RECOMMEND AN AFTERWEDDING
SHOOT?
We accompany you throughout the day and apart from the reportage, we take your couple photos, family photos, ring photos, the group photo, photos of the decoration, thelocation Environment photos, mood photos and much more.
​
On this day we would like to fulfill every photographic wish - that can be fulfilled ;)
We don't sell our raws because we don't want to give our work away unfinished.
We put a lot of love and time into the processing of your photos.
Of course you also book us for our special image look, which we create in post-processing.
Bridal couples often don't have much time for the couple's shots on their wedding day or don't necessarily want to leave their guests for an hour.
Sometimes the time (midday sun), the location of the wedding ceremony or the bad weather is simply not suitable.
For this we offer the after-wedding shooting. We don't have any stress at the follow-up appointment and can choose the location freely. There are no limits to the location and we are not dependent on the weather! We would also be happy to recommend a suitable location to you.
HOW MUCH TIME DO WE NEED FOR THE COUPLE PHOTOS?
In the best case, we would like 1 hour for your couple shots. Good things take time, as the saying goes.In addition, you probably want to switch off from the hustle and bustle and enjoy yourself as a newlywed couple. We don't want to rush you with the pair shots either, because you can see that in the photos. The pictures should be relaxed, natural, unique and above all reflect you and your happiness.
See the couple shots as a little break just for you during your wedding. You should have fun and be yourself.
If you cannot or do not want to plan as much time for the couple shots on your big day, as professional photographers we are of course able to photograph your couple photos in a smaller time window.
If you don't want to leave your guests after the wedding, we can also take the couple's shots before your wedding with a first look. We would also be happy to recommend an after-wedding shoot.
WHEN DO WE GET
THEPHOTOS?
IN WHAT FORMAT AND
HOW DO WE GET THE PHOTOS?
WE MUST ONE
PAY DEPOSIT?
Good things come to those who wait. We like to take a lot of time for your photos to get the best out of you.
We often have to leave them for a few days after processing in order to be able to objectively assess them during the last check in order to make final changes.
You get your photos about
4-5 weeks after the wedding.
But you get a small preview of about 10 photos shortly after the wedding.
First you will receive the photos via the online album in a smaller web resolution. You can easily share this album with your friends and relatives via a link.
So that you can also hold something in your hand, you will also receive a lovingly packed box with a USB on which the photos are in high resolution, as well as a best of the wedding as printed photos sent to your home.
We reserve the right to issue a deposit of 360 euros.
​
We will send you an invoice for this after booking. However, this can also come a few months before the wedding.
WHEN WILL WE PAY THE BILL?
You will receive the invoice with the digital delivery of your pictures. If you book two photographers, you will receive two invoices in which the sum is split.
The invoice is to be paid within 10 days of receipt.
HOW DOES THE
WORK OUT AFTER BOOKING?
After your booking we will of course stay in touch. We write emails, Whats App messages or can call us if there are any changes to the process and/or if there are any questions.
At least 2 weeks before your wedding we will contact you again to to compare the times and the procedure one last time.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER WEDDING DAY TIPS FOR US?
After booking you will receive a wedding guide from us.
After years of wedding experience, we have put this together for you with lots of tips and tricks.
This will make your planning easier and also tell you how we work.
If you have not booked a wedding reportage with us, you can purchase it in our web shop.
​
Of course we are always happy to give you advice.
ARE WE FOR YOURS
CATERING RESPONSIBLE?
Since we take photos all day long and work very concentrated, we cannot take care of our own food. We like to snack on something with the agape in between.
On a long working day, of course, we can only perform at our best if we can take a little break for a meal.
Normally, we take a 30-minute break during long reports and look forward to being invited by you. We do not take photos especially during the dinner time, as your guests will feel disturbed if they are photographed while they are eating.
​
Of course, we interrupt our break at any time if something important happens that should be photographed, such as speeches or surprises from the groomsmen.
If you're wondering where we should sit, here's our answer: You don't have to reserve a seat for us at the table. We also like to eat at the bar or at a table with the other service providers. It is best for you to sit us where it suits you and where the table planning goes well. It is only important to discuss this with the caterer in advance, because it can happen that the food for the photographer is not included in the calculation and that there are longer waiting times for us or that we can't get a seat inside at a rainy outdoor wedding.
​
Please don't consider placing us a few rooms further, otherwise we could miss something important, such as a speech, for which we of course immediately interrupt our break.
