FAQs
HOW CAN WE CONTACT YOU?
You have several options to get in touch with me. Firstly, you can fill out the contact form located in the "contacts" section of the website. Alternatively, you can send an email to houston.dragna@gmail.com.
HOW MANY OF OUR WEDDING PHOTOS WILL BE PROVIDED AND WHAT IS THE ANTICIPATED DELIVERY TIME?
For a wedding event, the typical range of delivered photos is between 400 to 600. However, I do not adhere to a precise count or restrictiveness in capturing shots. As for the delivery timeline, I aim to complete the process within 3 to 4 weeks most of the time. However, during peak seasons, this may be extended to 6-8 weeks. Although this is extremely rare.
DO YOU PROVIDE VARIOUS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGES?
I offer two distinct wedding photo collections at either up to 4 hours of coverage or up to 10 hours. I understand that each couple possesses unique requirements and preferences, which is why I tailor each package accordingly.
EVEN IF OUR WEDDING ISN'T TAKING PLACE IN BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA, WOULD YOU STILL CONSIDER OFFERING YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES?
Certainly. I am absolutely willing to discuss & undertake assignments both "out of town" and even abroad.
If you're planning your wedding outside of Baton Rouge or outside of the country altogether, feel free to reach out. I very much enjoy traveling as a wedding photographer! Travel expenses are individually calculated and typically encompass lodging, airfare, and car rentals if necessary. I prefer to travel with the necessities only.
I TEND TO FEEL EMBARRASSED AND UNCOMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF CAMERAS. HOW CAN THIS BE ADDRESSED?
I get asked this ALL the time. My approach mainly revolves around a natural style that allows the day to unfold in the most organic manner possible. Naturally, I will provide some guidance, while always encouraging you to relax and be yourselves. I often recommend a pre-marriage or engagement photos session. This not only helps you become more at ease in front of my camera but also generates beautiful and genuine images of the two of you in unique or captivating locations. (I like to go off the beaten path)
HOW MANY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS WILL BE PRESENT?
In many cases, I can get some great coverage while being fairly discreet by myself. I strongly believe in capturing candid and unforced photos, which are often best achieved when you're unaware of the wedding photographer 's presence. The inclusion of a second wedding photographer might be necessary due to logistical considerations or if you prefer to have an additional lens to capture your moments. My longer wedding collection automatically includes this and can easily be arranged upon request otherwise.
IS IT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE MEALS WHILE YOU'RE WORKING?
Given that weddings are long affairs for everyone involved, a substantial meal provides me, the wedding photographer, with the energy needed to last until the evening and even have some fun with you guys during the biggest party you’ll ever throw!
WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR RESERVING YOUR SERVICES AS A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
Once you've made the decision to proceed with a reservation for wedding photography or engagement photos, kindly reach out to me via email or phone. This allows me to confirm all details and make suitable arrangements. Shortly after the contract is issued, I'll request a 50% deposit to secure your date. The remaining 50% should be settled no later than one week before the wedding. Please note, the reservation will only be confirmed upon receipt of the deposit.
CAN YOU HELP US SECURE A VIDEOGRAPHER AS WELL?
Absolutely! I actually provide professional wedding cinematography services as well. Though I offer special accommodation to those wanting to book BOTH wedding photo and wedding video services together. In this case, I would hire trusted professionals I have worked with many times to help capture your day in stills and motion pictures. Feel free to ask for more details.
ONCE EVERYTHING IS FINALIZED, HOW OFTEN WILL WE HAVE CONTACT BEFORE THE WEDDING?
I'm always available via email or a call/text away. Feel free to send me any questions that might arise, even in the middle of the night. I take my profession seriously and will strive to respond as promptly as possible. Whether the inquiries pertain to your wedding photography or not, I'm always eager to assist.
