Do you offer an installment plan and can we pay by credit card for our wedding?

What makes you different from other photographers?

Adi sees himself as a creative photographer or as some might refer to as peoples’ photographer. In contrast to many other photographers who focus mostly on the business side of wedding photography, he really does care about how you feel in front of his camera.

The editing is pretty minimal and natural. Adi’s goal is to create with his camera, not Photoshop. His shooting and editing style is realistic and storytelling, always looking to deliver images that will not have an outdated look in 5 to 10 years time.

All images are print ready and will look just as they did on the day of your wedding or session.

What is your turnaround time?

We respect client privacy, therefore we chose to not to use external editing companies - all editing is done by us, here in Canmore.

For wedding photography 10-12 weeks for large weddings. For portrait photography, engagements, and elopements, between 2 - 3 weeks. However, Adi always provides 10 -15 previews within 24 hours of your wedding or session. Please note that during our busy season from June through to November there might be some delays.

How many images will I receive?

Every wedding or session is different and we are very picky with your images. As a guide, usually 30-50 edited images per hour. The images will be delivered in an online gallery (low resolution), to view and share with friends and family. Your high-resolution files will be delivered by WeTransfer (server download), and an optional USB flash drive sent to your home address as a backup if needed.

The forecast says there is a chance of rain, will this affect our session or how the images will look?

No, we do not cancel sessions or weddings due to wildfire smoke, light rain, or drizzle and fog. If the client decides to cancel it will be at their expense.

Do you provide retouching, colour adjustment, or corrective services?

Yes, all your photos will receive basic colour correction/touchups within Adobe Photoshop Lightroom or Capture One Pro so that they shine! We do NOT do air-brushing or any other advanced editing. Should the client request this service, there is a $5 +GST charge per image.

Are our images going to be watermarked?

No, the only time images will be delivered watermarked is when the balance has not been fully paid.

How long do you back up our images for?

We keep your RAW images for up to 2 years. Your low-resolution online gallery will stay active for up to 1 year.

What is your rescheduling policy?

Providing the new date is not already booked, we allow up to 2 changes and there are no fees to do so.

When is our final balance due for our wedding?

We ask for a 50% non-refundable retainer due within 3 days of receiving your e-invoice along with a signed contract otherwise your inquiry will be dismissed and your booking cancelled. The final balance will be due 30 days before your wedding or elopement day and you will receive automated payment reminders when the deposit or any remaining balance is due.

Is the deposit refundable?

Unfortunately, session and wedding photography deposits are non-refundable.

Do you work with a videographer?

No, we do not offer videography services, however, we can accommodate setting up a static camera on a tripod for the Ceremony or the First Dance.

Do you edit all our photos?

Yes, Adi is very particular about realistic-looking skin, temporary blemishes, and distracting objects. He will never send images to some company for bulk editing.
