CLIENT INTERVIEW WITH AMBER KNOWLES
     Please take a moment to read this before hiring Amber.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER & WHY DID YOU BECOME A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
-I have worked as a professional photographer for 6 years. After graduating from NYU, I attended the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies where I studied Documentary Photography. I have worked in the industry on various assignments from fashion shoots to concerts in Africa, but I have always love to shoot weddings the most. What can I say, I’m a romantic and I love working with couples whose love and respect for each other is undeniable.

WE LOVE YOUR SERVICES, AND YOUR PORTFOLIO. EVERYTHING SOUNDS FANTASTIC… SO CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM ALL THE OTHER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS OUT THERE?
-Everything about your wedding day is important, from the guests you have invited to share the day with you, to the shoes you choose to meet your new spouse in for the first time. My unique documentary style aims to document not just these details of your day, but also how they all made you feel. I capture the laughter, the tears, and the hugs as your day naturally unfolds.

THIS ALL SOUNDS WONDERFUL, BUT IT ALSO SEEMS EXPENSIVE. CAN WE AFFORD THIS?
-A fact of life is that overtime memory fades, and the facts in oral stories can get twisted. (Sort of like the game “Telephone” we all played as kids.) With all the time and money that you invest in making your wedding day special, photography will allow you to remember the emotions and the moments and the details exactly as they happened. You will use your photographs to tell the story of your wedding day to the friends and family who could not attend, and over the years to your children, and then eventually, your grandchild. Wedding photography is expensive but you are making an investment into memories that will last for generations.

WHO DO YOU WORK BEST WITH?
-I work best with couples who appreciate the art of photography. Preserving the memory of their emotions, special moments and unique details are not the only thing that is important to them. They also want to be able to feel their emotions through their images from their wedding day. My clients trust my experience and ability to capture the moments of their day with expertise and ease. And most of all, they know how to relax and have a good time!

WHO IS NOT GOING TO BENEFIT FROM MY PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES?
-Believe me when I say that I love getting to know all my couples and capturing their wedding day. It is important that we determine if we are a good match for each other. Having a great relationship with my clients is really important to me, because it will allow me to capture you at your most relaxed and enjoyable moments. If my natural documentary style is not your preference or if preserving those special moments of your wedding day through photography is not at the top of your priority list, then my services are not for you.

DO YOU PERSONALLY PHOTOGRAPH EVERY WEDDING YOU BOOK?
-Yes! I will be the principal photographer at every wedding.

WILL YOU HAVE A SECOND SHOOTER?
-Each of my wedding collections of 8 hours or more, includes a second shooter. My second shooters are also working professional photographers. I specially choose each of my second shooters whose own photography style compliments mine, in order to provide you with an even greater collection of images. Second shooters are great for many different reasons. For example, when I am with the bride getting ready, my second shooter is with the groom. Or as I am capturing the first kiss and the first dance, they are capturing the reactions of your guests.

HOW MANY FINAL IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE?
-Weddings will be determined by length of shoot time and cooperation of individuals involved.

HOW WILL YOU DELIVER MY IMAGES & HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE THEM?
-You will receive both an online gallery and a DVD with all the final edited images in hi-res. Your online gallery will be up in 3 weeks, and your DVD will be mailed to your home in 4 weeks.

DO YOU OFFER ALBUMS & PRINTS?
-Yes! Following the delivery of your images, I set up online printing services to give you ease with printing images at your leisure. I also offer albums to be specially ordered or included in your wedding day collection. We can discuss this more during your consultation.

DO YOU TAKE CREDIT CARDS AND CAN WE HAVE A PAYMENT PLAN?
-I do not accept credit cards. However, I do set up payment plans! You will be required to make a 25% reservation deposit in order to hold your date. My clients who book me early have an advantage because their payments are spread out over a longer period of time. Your final payment is due 14 days before your wedding day.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. HOW DO WE START THE PROCESS?
-Email me at amber@amberknowles.com to set up your get acquainted complimentary consultation. I want to hear about your needs and to see if we are a good match. This way we can figure out what package fits your style, personality and budget best.
