Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you based and do you have travel fees?
A. I am based in the Midwest of the US, splitting time between the greater Milwaukee, WI and Cleveland, OH areas and servicing those localities, but destination weddings are my true passion! I've traveled to 55 countries and will go wherever the wind takes me! So if you want me to photograph your love story anywhere in the world, good news - I am your girl! And NO, I do not charge an additional travel fee for destination bookings. For more details, please contact me.
Do you only photograph weddings?
A. Although weddings are my passion and the work that fuels my creative spirt the most, I do take on a limited number of family/milestone/newborn shoots. Please contact me for availability and to see if we can arrange a booking.
What is special about how you photograph weddings?
A. I love weddings more than I can explain, and being your photographer is an honor I don't take lightly. I love being by your side not only on your big day, but also being a tool and resource for you during the planning process. If you pick me as your photographer, there are a series of steps we will go through, including initial meetings or conversations to become better acquainted and so that I may get a full grasp and appreciation of your vision and all of your expectations. I want to leave no stone unturned for you when it comes to your photos. After you have booked me as your photographer, I will also provide you with a planning guide I have put together that details useful information and tips for your big day. An engagement session may also take place prior to your big day, depending on your package booked, which will help you become a pro in front of the camera (I promise!). It is also really exciting for me to receive photos of your dress, shoes, invites, etc. leading up to your big day. When we work together, I want you to feel really great about the whole experience. I am fully committed to ensuring you absolutely love your images, because the bottom line is you, your photos and your wedding day are my priority.
When will we get our wedding photos?
A. After your big day, I will provide you with a preview of 20 photos within 10 days. The link to your full online gallery with all remaining images will be provided within a maximum of 8 weeks after your wedding (sometimes, the turnaround will be much quicker depending on the season :))! You will be able to download photos from your online gallery, save your favorites, and also order prints.
How many wedding pictures will we receive?
A. On average, you will receive between 400 to 600 fully edited images. I strongly believe in quality over quantity, and all of the images I deliver will be very carefully and thoughtfully curated and professionally edited for your final gallery. Photographers commonly shoot duplicative images, where only the movement of a hair differs from one to the next. It's our job to cull through the "undesirable" duplicates and choose the very best among the duplicates to deliver to you.
Do you have a second shooter?
A. Yes, I have an exclusive second shooter available. All of my wedding packages include a choice of a complimentary add-on, and one of the add-on options is a 1/2 day second shooter. Even if you select a different complimentary add-on depending on your needs, the second shooter can still be custom added (for either a full day or a portion of it) for an additional fee.
What if I have a question that I can't find an answer to on your website?
A. I would love to chat! Shoot me an e-mail at sanjadphoto@gmail.com and I will get back to you within 24 hours :) !
