FAQ
How do we do it?
The reality is, it starts with collaboration.
You dream. We listen. We execute.
We work with you to understand a day built on dreams, in which every detail, from grand to intimate, is remembered beyond all expectations.
Your wedding isn’t just an event. It’s a magical dream that expands your love and happiness.
It’s the holding hands; the laughter of the bridesmaids, and the magical wedding decor. It’s the family in one room, the toast, and the first kiss. But all this, won’t be remembered the same if you are waiting forever for your wedding photos. From engagement to wedding to anniversary St.Clerv is a company that is capable of handcrafting an experience even after your event.
When should we expect our wedding photos and video?
Each St.Clerv wedding is delivered eight weeks following the wedding date.
We don’t believe in capturing your wedding and disappearing. Which happens all to often. Our attention to you doesn’t end after wedding day.
What should we expect in our first meeting?
Our first meeting is comparable to a conversation between friends with our focus on the wedding.
You get to ask why we love weddings.
How do we describe our photographic style?
Photojournalistic. We are storytellers. We photograph the most important moments and the in between moments.
Are we open to a specific shot list/must haves you have your heart set on?
Yes we are open to must haves from you. We will do our best when it comes to your specific shots. But there are few things we don’t promise. We don’t promise control over the wedding timeline, sunlight availability, guest smiling in photos and tardiness from other parties outside of St.Clerv.
We promise to ask everyone to cooperate and smile.
We promise to be “early” not on time.
We promise to get creative if sunlight isn’t available.
Does St.Clerv use lighting or simply natural light?
We love using flash and light modifiers for its original purpose. Thank God, we have had a lot of practice in low light situations all thanks to our event design colleagues.
We are not limited to natural light. And your wedding won’t be either!
How far in advance should you book your wedding photographer?
We recommend 8-14 months in advance. It seems like a long time away, but there’s a great chance your date will be gone if you choose to wait any longer (a few weeks), can result in your wedding date being booked.
If your wedding day falls on a Saturday, we recommend booking around the 9-15 months mark.
You can never book your favorite vendors too early.
Can we book St.Clerv before we book our venue?
Yes but St.Clerv does require a wedding date. Once your contract is signed and you have made a payment to St.Clerv for the date provided during the consultation, that date is exclusive to your wedding day.
If you feel we have the style and experience you don’t want to risk passing up, we are always ready to bring you on board!
When do we make our payments?
The total amount owed is due in 2 installments as follows: (i) A retainer/deposit is due at time of booking and execution of this Agreement to reserve the Wedding Date on the Photographer’s calendar. (ii) A second payment of the remaining balance is due 70 days prior to the wedding date.
***Special note: The deposit is nonrefundable.
How Will You Receive Your Photos?
Photos are delivered digitally. And a USB flash drive by request.
Do you offer print?
Absolutely! With a resounding yes. This is one of the best ways to remember your special day. And we love helping our couples create an art gallery out of those intimate moments.
Was 8 hours for wedding photography enough?
Getting ready photos and photos of your sparkler exit will run 8 hours.
When 8 hours isn’t enough – (A combination of any below)
- 2 Hour Ceremony
- A hour and a half break due to locations (30min. drive + 1 hour getting settled)
- Photos with all guest (Tables)
- Dress Change
- Grand Exit (Sparkler exit, Fireworks show, Surprise, etc.)
Do you offer video?
We offer videography.
St.Clerv team specializes in wedding photography and videography.
Should we have a wedding planner?
A wedding planner is a gift you give to yourself. Nothing beats, peace of mind on a wedding day. We have seen it all, from a wedding beginning two hours late because of audio/visual difficulties, to wedding guest with puzzled faces with no one to tell them what happens next.
It impacts us all in a positive way when there’s a wedding planner/day of planner.
We’ll see you at the altar!
