FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do you work together?
First of all it's good to document the event from two different angles: it gives a more complete image of what happened. One of us is filming wedding rings putting on, and the other is filming emotions of parents and guests, for example.
Secondly, couples really appreciate us being in two places at the same time. At the gathering of both bride and groom, for example. Or one of us might be at the photo-session, and the other could be with guests.
Third, we guarantee that even the most dynamic scene, like the bouquet throwing, will be filmed good.
Forth, two independent professional photographers would make more good pictures than one photographer + assistant. In this case quantity = quality.
Fifth, we plan our workflow so that all your event would be filmed. Even during setup or lunch one of us is ready to shoot.

How long have you been doing photography?
We started our education in 2013, in 2016 we had our first wedding.
Do you work officially?
Yes, we are registered as enterpreneurs, so we give e-checks.
Do you work only in Tbilisi?
Not only. We work wherever you call us.
How much does photo-session costs?
It depends on the kind of the photo-session. We have 3 packages for weddings. For other kinds of photosessions (love-story, walks, reportages) we offer hourly rate.
How to book a date?
Contact us to choose when and how we'll meet to discuss details (on-line or off-line). If we have a match - we sign a contract with 50% payment up in advance. Then the date is yours.
Is it possible to book a date before meeting?
We are booking a date only after the meeting, because it's very important for us to understand that we have the same vision of your day and the communication is easy. Until that we can't guarantee emotional and lively pictures.
When to book the date?
The sooner the better. Popular dates are usually booked 6 months in advance.
How to prepare for the meeting?
You don't have to prepare in a specific way, but if you know the key moments of your day - write them down. It would be nice to know an approximate timing for the day, what photos would you like to have (important people, events etc.), or you could show us examples of these photos. It's better to prepare together.
Is it necessary to be at the meeting together?
We find it important. First of all it's easier to work with those whom you already know. Secondly, this day is being made for both of you, so it's important to understand each of you. We've had a case where groom had not participated in an organisational process and then was not fully satisfied with a result.
What is the minimal lenght of wedding photo-session?
It depends on a date.
Do you have your own vehicle?
Yes, we have, that's why we ask to give us a parking lot near your locations (or pay for city parking). If it's the center of the city, then we could consider the option of traveling by taxi with compensation of its cost.
Do you send raws?
According to the standard contract we send you all good photos in jpeg, color corrected and retouched. Sending raw files is an additional service that adds 50% to the cost.
How do you edit photos?
First of all we are culling photos with good composition, light and angle.
Then we use our own presets to make color correction.
Third step is a light or detailed retouch where it is needed.
We double check each step, so each photo is ready to be posted or printed.

Could you help with planning the day?
We are usually discussing the day at our meetings, and we are glad to help you with the timing, location, logistics and to recommend other wedding professionals. So even if you are on the very first step of planning your day - after the meeting you would have a detailed plan.
Also we are always in touch to help.

Could you please recommend other wedding professionals?
We have a lot of experience of working with many other professionals, so after signing the contract we would be happy to recommend stylists, MCs, decorators, planners and videographers.
What is the best time for a photo walk?
Usually we recommend morning (before 10 A.M.) or evening (after 4 P.M.) hours.
11 AM - 3 PM is the most unfavourable time due to the lightning conditions. Also it might be really hot.

We have no modelling experience, could you help us?
Almost all of our couples have no modelling experience, so we are always helping them to feel comfortable in front of the camera (and look good, of course). That's why our favourite type of photo-session is a walk where you could be yourself without posing. But even if you've chosen a studio, photos would be lively and natural.
Is it possible to make an additional shoot before the wedding?
Of course!
Are you need to be fed during the wedding?
If you plan us to be with you for the whole day, we would need to eat. We can't afford to look for the food during the shoot (sometimes there are no options out of cities). Therefore we ask couple or planner to take care for our foods.
There is a small video as an additional service. What is it?
We also make small videos. We capture it during a photo-session or a walk. You have two options: vertical (smartphone and social media) and horizontal (laptop, YouTube) format.
We do not make reportage videos of important events, such as registration or bouquet throwing. For a full-time video we recommend you to hire a videographer.

What is a sneak peek?
Sneak peek - 5-15 photos of you day sent on the location/within 24 hours (depends on the package).
Do you send group shots at the date?
Yes, we do. If you want all the guests to be captured - tell them to participate during the group shoot.
We make these pictures in a registration hall, at an arch or at a press-wall.
During the day we organise it by ourselves. At the venue we ask MC.
The best way is to make this photo-break right after the registration, while all the guests are here.
We would send the QR-code leading to your gallery with group shots and sneak peek at the end of your party to you and your MC (to show it on a screen).
