The FAQ
What do the photography packages include?
Unlimited photos taken throughout the contracted time. A website posted in one week. The website is a summary of your wedding. We will contact you in one week with the link to your website. Full resolution digital download of all edited images (all color photos; includes a selection of 100 duplicate images which will be in black and white and in sepia tone)
Do we get all the images taken or just a selection and have to purchase the rest later?
You get all the images taken (no purchasing a remainder later). We do edit and remove excess of the same image in a sequence. Your images will be in high resolution unlocked for you to print as many as you like. If printing outfits require authorization from us, we will be glad to send release forms.
What is Vintage Photography?
Old School. It’s your wedding photographed with 1940s medium format cameras. Like your grandma’s wedding photos. There will be an additional photographer with a vintage camera capturing the most important moments of the wedding day. All photographs are mounted into a vintage looking black page album (black & white or sepia prints only).
What is the Wedding video/movie like?
The El Velo cinematography team will edit your video into a beautiful
wedding movie with music of your choice.
What is “Our Story” Interview Package?
We interview the bride and groom separately and then edit a beautiful
love story video with their answers (the interview is normally done the day
before the wedding).
General Questions
