Dig the DETAILS.
This is a shortlist of the questions we hear couples asking on the regular; curated for you to know you’re not alone in wondering, and to make getting answers a speedy process.
Sharing is also caring, as they say.
Do you photograph weddings together?
A: Yes! We’re a proudly-attached-at-the-hip package deal. When you hire Shari + Mike, you get Shari + Mike. Which also means you get our talent at collaborating to find the most creative, unique shots and our individual strengths in composition, capturing candids, and making you feel incredibly at ease (we’ve both got our ways of making it happen...promise).
Where are you based?
A: Home base is Vancouver, BC, Canada. And yes, we’re getting used to the rain. Mostly.
Do you travel for weddings?
A: We sure do. While we love Vancouver, we’ve got a penchant for travel/a gentle case of familial wanderlust and love travelling nationally + internationally. If you’re thinking of getting married somewhere awesome, do it. We’ll pack our bags and come along for the ride.
What are your prices?
A: We’re happy to send our pricing + package guides your way. Simply complete the contact form on our Connect page or drop us an email, and we’ll get back to you pronto with the pricing + and a couple other goodies.
Do you only shoot weddings?
A: The short answer: yes. We’ve found our lane + we’re sticking to it. The longer answer: we’ve explored a spectrum of avenues of photography – including commercial, family, events, fashion + portraits – and discovered that weddings are our jam. That being said, we’ve been known to sprinkle in some portrait sessions in our less-busy months – so if you’ve got an idea, reach out for availability + more details.
What’s your photography style?
A: Ooooooh tough one. Look at our portfolio or our Instagram and you tell us what you think sums it up. What we can say is this: our intent with every shoot is to find a balance between (1) striking composition (2) unexpected candids (3) honing in on what makes each couple unique and (4) creating a great experience in the moment that translates in the photos.
How many photos will we get?
A: Lots. Not specific enough? Fair. On average, you’ll receive between 75 and 100 images for every hour we spend together.
We’re already excited about receiving the images/putting them on social media. When will we receive our photos?
A: You get *two* drops of images. Within a week of your big day you’ll get a healthy sized preview gallery for you to enjoy + share with your guests, family + friends. From there you’ll receive your full gallery within 12 weeks. Also, keep an eye on our IG...you might see some sneak peeks pop up there too.
Do you offer albums?
A: Absolutely. We believe your photos are made to be more than just screen savers + Instagram posts; they’re meant to tell a story. What better way than to have them in a book that can be passed down for generations? Learn more about albums here.
How do we book you?
A: Thanks for asking! If you decide we’re the best fit for your day, awesome! All we require to secure your date is a $2000 retainer fee along with a signed contract. Boom. Start the process by reaching out through our Connect page.
