FAQ
How would you describe your style?
A mix of photojournalism and creative portraiture. I strive to create artful portraits and capture authentic candid images. Though I am a digital photographer my images reflect the magical qualities of film.
Where are you located? Do you travel?
I am currently located in the Maryland & DC area. I love traveling and I am passport ready to go anywhere! Contact me about travel fees if you are interested!
How long have you been photographing wedding/ is this your real job?
I photographed my first wedding in 2011 and fell in love with capturing wedding stories! I am lucky to call this my full time job.
How do I book you?
I require a $1500 retainer and a signed contract. Then your date is saved! After you book, I send over a digital bridal guide which will give you tips for planning your big day!
Should we do an engagement session with you in addition to our wedding photographs?
Yes! An engagement session allows the two of you to practice being in front of the camera before your big day. It also gives us a chance work with each other (and have an adventure!) so that we can be more comfortable with each other on your wedding day.
How many photos do you deliver?
For full day coverage I deliver 500+ edited images.
How do I receive our photos?
For weddings, I deliver digital high resolution edited photographs on an online gallery. The gallery is password protected and can be shared with family and friends. Anyone with the password can download the digital images for free! I will also gift a flash drive as a hard back-up of the digital high resolution edited photographs. This delivery method is the same for portrait sessions.
How long does it take to receive our photos?
On average, weddings take about 8-9 weeks for full completion but I always release a few sneak peeks! For portrait sessions there is a 4-5 week turn-around.
What equipment do you use?
I shoot with two Canon 5d Mark IV, Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 600 ex-rt flashes and a variety of prime lenses for different situations. (24mm, 35mm, 45mm TSE, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm) I also have a back-up camera body! Check out my gear bag HERE.
What is your favorite part of the wedding day?
This is a tough question. I love it when couples do a first look. That is when the bride and groom see each other before the ceremony. This can be a special intimate moment and allows some time for portraits before the ceremony. I always tear up a bit during the first look!
Do you shoot more than one event on my wedding day?
No! When a couple books me for their wedding date, they are my only clients that day. All of my energy is focused on capturing the sweet memories of their day!
Do I have permission to print the photos? Can I use them online?
For weddings and portraits sessions, the client receives a copyright release for personal use of the images. This allows you to print the images at any photo lab of your choice for friends & family and use the images online. I also ask that if you post your images on social media sites that you state clearly, “By Kate Ann Photography www.kateannphotography.com” below or beside the image.
