FAQ
Why aren't you as expensive as everyone else?
We often get asked, ”Why don’t you charge more?” Simply, it is because we are not a one-man band. Instead, we bring the magic to weddings across the country every week. We have trained a team of local artists who are not just skilled, but they are masters at what they do! This commitment to excellence allows us to offer you fantastic service without breaking the bank. Take a peek at our photo and video portfolio - the work truly speaks for itself!
What deposit do you require to book?
Booking is simple and inexpensive. All we require from you to secure your date is a $500 deposit. Once this is cleared in our account we lock the date in our calendar – and you are booked with a price and inclusions guarantee.
Our wedding is midweek. Do you have special rates for weekday weddings?
Certainly! For weekday weddings we offer a special 10% discount. It is our way of making your wedding even more memorable and budget-friendly. Reach out to check the availability for your date!
When do we need to book & will you hold our date?
We always recommend our couples do their homework. It’s an important decision when selecting your wedding photographer/videographer. There are so many variables – style of work, package inclusions, price, turnaround times etc. After doing your research, if you decide we are your choice – contact us straight away and get a deposit down. Many couples will book us after one phone call or email – so the longer you leave it the more likely you are to miss out.
When do we make payments?
We’ve kept it simple and stress-free. The full balance is due two weeks before your wedding day.
How long before my Videos and Photos are ready?
The all-important question – how long after the wedding till we get our photos/video? The good news for you is that SMC Studios has a full-sized editing team – complete with video editors, photo retouchers, and album designers. We generally take 4-8 weeks to have proofs for your photos and 10-12 weeks for your video. On rare occasions, things get out of hand and things can take a bit longer – but in most cases, these estimates are spot on the money!
How many locations can we have?
Easy – as many as you want! All of our packages are so flexible that we go wherever you go. You have us booked to cover your day – and we will do whatever it takes to make you happy, it’s the way we roll!
How many photos do you take?
Another easy question – unlimited numbers taken – unlimited numbers edited and handed over. The fortunate part for our clients is that when you have the luxury of a full-sized editing team that specializes in one thing: editing, we don’t have to cut any corners to save time. Our photographer’s brief is to capture as many elements of the day as possible – and our editing team is dedicated to editing all of those photos (aside from the weird ones – you know – blinking, strange faces!).
