1.     Will you personally be the photographers for our wedding?

Yes of course... I mean you hired cool people to be at your wedding right? So then yes! We always shoot together should you require 2 photographers... if we didn't, we'd miss each other too much.

2.     Are you full-time photographers?

hehe in our minds... but seriously no, just look at the deal you're getting! We're not making money off of you!!

3.     What do you do the rest of the week?

Tina is a part time dog wrestler and Steph is a member of her very own version of the Geek squad called TWC tech gurus.

4.     What kind of experience, background, and education do you have?

Tina is a BSer of Chemistry and Steph is seriously geeky.

5.     Have you received any formal classroom training as photographers?

For realz! Like we'd be able to compete without it!

6.     I'm looking for a photojournalistic photographer. What is your definition of "photo journalism?"

7.     How do you know how many pictures to take?

How many? Who said we put a number on this!!! How about this... we take a bajillion! And we give you all the best done up and pretty before you get 'em.

8.     What makes your photographs better or different than anybody else's?

STEPHINALISM- please see above!

9.     Why did you choose wedding photography as your careers?

We didn't... it chose us! It was our destiny.

10.   What time do you arrive to setup your equipment?

 Before the beautiful bride is dressed... Remember we do boudoir too (wink) 

11.   Do you bring backup equipment with you? Yes ... and plenty of it! We got you covered. We also have clones of ourselves in the event one of us falls of a cliff during an intense shot and cannot perform the rest of the event.... (that would be soooo cool!).  All we do is flash up the Stephina Logo in the sky and there they come... we're awesome.

12.   Do you provide a written contract and guarantee?

    Yessum 

13.   What are your policies regarding proofs and ordering?

You get 90 days of online viewing for family not to bother you too much with ordering and all that jazz. Seriously it's worth it. Otherwise you'd hear this from Grandma Betty, "Hello dear. You looked wonderful at the wedding. I was at the library looking at the photographs and I really like numbers 4, 14, 26, 48, 58, 67, 79, 105, 117-129 ... and a few others. When you place your order will you get me those photos too?"

14.    Is a deposit required? If so, how much?

Yes please! Half the bill.

15.    When is the deposit due?

Upon the final decision that you'd like Stephinalism at your wedding. But otherwise we're kind enough to hang on for dear life for 7 days from the consult.

16. When is the final payment due?

    Give us your dues 30 days before you get hitched or you will get ditched.

17. Are there any additional charges not mentioned (e.g., travel)?

We're fee free unless you live way over yonder. But if you're in San Diego County you're fee free too!

18.  How long does it take for photos to be ready?

Okay seriously we're LIGHTNING FAST! Like if superman was a photographer we'd be his competition. 48 hour teasers on the blog (depending on time of year during season) and Facebook, and 3-6 weeks for all your prettied up photos.  BEAT THAT SUPERMAN!

19.  What are the refund/cancellation terms?

No shirt, no shoes, no refunds. But you can cancel anytime and not owe us a penny more. We'll even let you sell your date! See! We're super cool, huh?

20. Do you shoot more than 1 wedding per day?

Only if our clone story were actually true... Please see above if you missed it.

We look forward to eating your cake at your wedding
