Philosophy & Policy

Philosophy:

I believe that a client and photographer must be a great fit in personality and style.  I believe that choosing your photographer is more than checking off another item in the list of to-dos for your wedding or event.  When the fit between a client and photographer is right, smiles are bigger, eyes are brighter and the day brings more joy!  I want each of my clients to know that they have a photographer who is right for them and and will work hard for them- bringing more than just a camera to their shoot

I believe the photographer should serve the client in more ways than simply providing images.  In the case of weddings, I enjoy the opportunity to sit down with each of my clients and help put together time lines and talk through different photography options with them.  I’ve been around a good number of weddings and have seen a lot of things that work and some that don’t. I have also seen what points of planning are missed, even by many wedding coordinators. Sharing my experience and helping to make the wedding day as relaxing and fun as possible is my aim as I work with a couple.

Finally, my philosophy is really about honesty and art.  I’m not interested in trying to convince my clients to hire me based on exaggerated claims and maneuvering.  I want to be the right choice for their styles and personalities – I want the photographic art I create for them to be something they will love and treasure for a life time.

Policy:

To protect my clients and myself, all weddings, events and photography sessions are booked on a first-come first-served basis.  A contract and deposit are required to reserve the date of any wedding or session.

All deposits and fees are non-refundable.  There are no refunds or re-shoots for photographic services.  All sales are final.

For all weddings, deposits are 50% of the total package price and the final balance is due two weeks prior to the event.

For more details on all policies and legal agreements please see your event contract or contact Gabriel Van Wyhe with any questions.
