What will I need to do to book you? How do we save our date and how does payment work?
For weddings, there are a total of three payments. A 25% non-refundable retainer fee and a signed contract are required to secure the date for your event. The second payment of 50% is due 30 days before your wedding. The final payment of 25% will be due upon your approval of the final design for your wedding album.
For all other events, there is a 25% non-refundable retainer fee followed by the remaining 75% due on the day of the event.
How far in advance should I book you?
We recommend that clients book us up to a year in advance but no later than 2 months before a wedding. For all other events, we recommend that you contact us at least 1 month before you would like to schedule your session. To see if we are available on a certain date, email us at info@chengphotography.com.
Do you shoot other types of events beside weddings?
Yes. As lifestyle photographers, our goal is to capture all of the special moments in your life. Your wedding is just the start of your life journey and we would love to document the rest of your story. We have experience covering events such as kid’s birthdays, anniversaries, couple’s sessions, boudoir sessions and family portrait sessions.
Where are you located and do you charge travel fees?
We are located in Central NJ. Travel fees are included if your event is within 70 minutes of East Brunswick, NJ . If your event is outside this area, Â send us an email at info@chengphotography.com and we would be happy to provide you with further details.
When can I expect to see my photos?
During peak wedding season (April – October), you will receive a copy of your images within 12 weeks of your event. These images will also be available to view online in a password protected private gallery that you can share with family and friends. Creation and delivery of your wedding album takes between 8 to 12 weeks after you select and approve the final album design.
How many photos do you take?
We typically deliver between 500 to 900 finished photos but this amount varies based on the length and amount of activity during your event.
Do you provide high-resolution digital files?
Yes. After your event, we will provide you with high resolution photos for your personal use that you can share with your family and friends.
Do you you provide a set of prints for all pictures taken at an event?
We offer the option to add printed copies of all the images to your wedding or event package.
What equipment do you use?
We shoot solely with professional Canon digital equipment and carry backups of everything to prepare for any situation that may occur.
Do you do any editing/post processing? Are your photos retouched?
All of the high-res files that you will receive have been color corrected and finished using the latest Adobe software. We do additional processing such as black and white conversions for photos we feel will benefit from the effect as well as added touch-ups for images that will be selected for your wedding album.
Do you have photography insurance?
Yes. We have photography insurance and can provide you with a certificate of insurance if your venue requires it.
