Studio Blue Photography

Congratulations! Weddings are so much fun and such a special time filled with family, friends, festivities and lots and lots of love. Igor and I feel so honored that you are considering Studio Blue to capture your wedding day story. We understand that planning a wedding can be a new process to you and that you may have lots of questions so we’ve put together some common questions that will hopefully help you get started on the right track! Please contact us at info@studiobluephoto.com with any additional questions or if you’d like to schedule a time to chat. We can’t wait to hear from you. Cheers!

In simple terms, what you see is what you get. We like to shoot in a loose and candid style which allows us to capture your wedding story as it is really happening. We love to focus on the emotion, the movement, and the happiness of your day. We also enjoy some time with the couple alone to create some unique compositions that not only capture their love and emotion but also lend themselves to a more artistic quality. We are what you might call “romantics”. We love action, creative lighting, and emotion.

All professional quality digital. Digital photography offers unsurpassed turnaround times and creativity and we love it! Plus it saves our environment; no paper processing or chemicals or film. Totally a win win!

We’re a Canon family. We love our 5D Mark II cameras and our variety of awesome L series lenses to accompany them. We have oodles of backup equipment so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

We always work as a team of two at least up to the reception. Two sets of eyes are always better than one! We also recognize the sacredness of your wedding ceremony and a team of two allows us to be super discrete and not take away from your wedding and where the attention should be; on you!

Yes, all of our wedding coverage, both hourly and package priced include your edited images on a disk and the reprint release form. We don’t believe in holding your negatives hostage.

Usually 50-100 per hour of coverage.

Wedding pictures are most often online within 2-4 weeks of your wedding date.

Yes, Studio Blue Photography in constantly trying to come up with ways to save our environment and make as positive an impact as possible on our Earth. 20 ways we do this are:

1. We recycle, a lot!
2. Our albums come from companies that are considered “Green” and they handcraft each album
3. Our print lab partner prints on recycled paper and 100% biodegradable paper
4. We have a home based studio which saves on both gas and energy to run a separate studio
5. Both of our cars get 36-50 miles per gallon
6. We have all energy efficient light bulbs and appliances
7. Our thermostat is carefully programmed and never set to anything above 68
8. We eat natural and organic foods and cook a vegetarian menu
9. Although we offer a leather option, most of our albums are covered in cloth or a beautiful faux
10. We reuse all packaging material
11. We power down all equipment when not in use
12. We use actual dishes, cups and napkins instead of the paper version
13. We use all digital equipment which saves on paper, film and chemicals
14. We use rechargeable batteries
15. We use email instead of snail mail
16. Refill our ink cartridges instead of buying new ones
17. Print double sided when we actually do need to print something
18. We donate; a lot!
19. Instead of juice boxes, our kids have super cool metal water bottles (and we do too)
20. Drum roll please…We set our toilet to only use ½ the water capacity and turn the water off when
    brushing our teeth.

So yeah, you can have a super awesome photographer AND feel good about saving the environment.

Studio Blue believes that we are very blessed to be living healthy, happy lives when so many people around the world are doing without. For every wedding package booked, Studio Blue donates $100 towards the charity of YOUR choice. For every portrait package booked, we donate 5% of the total price. In addition to our Charity Package Programs, we also hold and participate in events throughout the year to benefit great charitable organizations. It’s our little way of giving back.

The age old question… Of course your wedding photography is a priceless investment since it is the one thing you will not only have for decades but it is also the one thing that will pass through generations to come. But…budget is important too! We offer the traditional three packages but we also can build a unique package to suit your unique needs too. Click here to view our current packages and also be sure to check out our “Something Blue Specials” on our blog regularly for other package deals that we are constantly running.

Whenever you refer our photography services to a couple getting married, if they book their wedding with us they will receive 10% off of their wedding package and YOU will receive $100 as a thank you.

You can book in person or over the phone. In a nutshell, we will email you a contract to be printed and signed and you send that in with your booking fee and voila, your date is officially booked and you can check that off your list!

Your booking fee is ¼ of the total of your package price. Couples then have the choice to pay monthly payments or a lump sum one month before their wedding date.

We prefer cash or check but we do accept credit cards too. Credit card processing costs us over 3% of the transaction soooo, if you CAN pay with a check, please do :).
