FAQ - Jenny GG Photography

What’s your photography style?

I love photos where you can feel that moment just by looking at it, like my favorite photo I took of my parents in 1977:

It may be blurry, but I can feel their laughter and closeness in the image.

I focus on creating intimate portraits that are rarely posed and often playful. Getting creative with angles, lighting, and the environment help me capture those moments. (*I’ll probably tell some goofy jokes to help you relax. There’s nothing better than getting uninhibited laughter on camera!)

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER?

What happens after I contact you?

I can’t wait for you to reach out! I’ll respond with some info about my availability, answer any questions you asked on my contact form, and set up a time to speak with you.

We’ll go over your vision for your wedding or portrait session during our chat, and I’ll show you some additional examples of my work.

Once you’ve decided I’m the photographer for you, you can schedule your session (and typically a “back-up” date) right away. For weddings, I ask for a 35% reservation fee to hold your wedding date. For all other portrait sessions, I do not require a retainer.

What happens before our wedding?

If you’ve chosen a package that includes an engagement session, we’ll get that booked right away! I love doing engagement sessions because I can get to know you a bit pre-wedding and you get to see what you look like through my lens. It’s a great way to shake off any photo anxieties/worries. You can see some examples here.

Lastly, we’ll have a planning meeting before your wedding to create a photo timeline that will fit well with your wedding day plans. I’ll also send you my family photo list so that you can customize it for your own day.

How will you help us feel comfortable in front of the camera?

I’ll give you gentle suggestions of what I’ve seen work well, without being intrusive or overly directive. Usually, this means using some prompts vs poses, although I’m happy to give more direction if you’d like. We’ll shift towards the best light, and I’ll encourage you to love your partner or family members as you normally do.

My goal is always to help you see yourself as your loved ones see you and highlight what makes you, you.

When will we see our photos?

Do we get digital copies of our photos? Can we print them?

How are you dealing with COVID? What if we have to cancel?

Do you have any recommendations for other wedding vendors?

What type of gear do you use?

DO YOU REQUIRE A DEPOSIT?

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR TO OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION?

The most important thing about what you wear to your e-session is to be comfortable and to feel good in your clothes. If you’re tugging and pulling at your waistband or sleeves, your expressions will show that you’re not focused on your partner and stressed out about your clothes. most couples bring a change of clothing so that they can have one look that is more dressy/classic & another that is more jeans/casual.
