FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONs
My specialty when it comes to your photography experience is as follows, and you can expect a standard of excellence, communication, and cooperation.
Q. Are you willing to travel?
I love to travel and always down for an adventure, so let your love take me somewhere new! Travel fees apply to destinations not on my annual travel itinerary.
Q. Do you offer albums?
I certainly do and would love to design an album for you, even if you aren't an existing Emma Hawkins client. Drop me an enquiry or head on over to my wedding albums page for more info.
Q. How will my photos be delivered?
Your photos will be delivered in .jpg format in two batches: within 48 hours of your wedding you will receive a handful of sneak peak photos. After 4-6 weeks you will receive your full wedding gallery via Pixieset, an online wedding gallery hosting service with countless incredible features.
Q. How many photos will I receive?
I will always provide a large selection of the best images from the day. I will generally supply 50-100 photos per hour of coverage, so for a 4 hour elopement that's 200-400 photos!
Your sneak peaks will be anywhere from 20-50 images.
