Choosing a great photographer for your wedding can be a big task!

You are bound to have questions – well, here are the answers below!

–How can I book my date with Gruen Photo & Design?
To book your date with Gruen Photo & Design, we require a signed contract & a retainer fee of 50 percent for Silver Limited & Silver Wedding Packages; 25 percent for Gold & Platinum Wedding Packages that include additional services such as a Bridal Session or Engagement Session. The retainer fee books and reserves your date with Gruen Photo & Design, we will close off availability and your date will be locked in. Retainer fees are non-refundable as all bookings revolve around the date – this protects all parties & fully ensures that you won the day! You will feel secure in the fact that you are our contracted priority on your wedding day! Now, feel free to mark “Professional, Marvelous, Detailed, Friendly, Caring, High Quality, Experienced, Professional, Artistic Wedding Photographer” off of your list!

–What forms of payment do you accept for my investment?
We will accept checks as well as credit cards via PayPal.
Any delicious meals from your kitchen or Asheville’s wonderful restaurants such as Mela, The Noodle House, or 12 Bones will go a long way with us (but won’t really be considered payment)!

–How early should I retain photography service my Wedding Date?
Retaining & booking your wedding date will depend upon several factors. If your wedding will be during the most temperate months in Asheville / Greenville / Spartanburg / Charlotte / etcetera, on a holiday weekend, or another special date, it will be necessary to try to retain as many as 6 – 18 months in advance. We will also book as far into the future as needed, but the following years prices may apply. Dates fill quickly, but it is always worth checking availability with us, even if your wedding date is only a couple of months away – you never know, it may be available!

–Can we upgrade our Wedding Photography Package after we retain our Wedding Date?
Sure! If you are unsure of what package best suits your wedding needs, you can book the date with one Wedding Package and discuss changes to a higher level Wedding Package with us at a later time. We understand that it is most important to retain the date quickly & sometimes you may just not be sure what other services you will need.

–What is the Wedding Information Sheet? Can I give you my Wedding Style Ideas, thoughts on Wedding Party Poses, or even send images of Wedding Photography that I like?
YES! This is one of the things that separate us from other Wedding Photographers! We base our coverage from a fine art portrait & photojournalistic style – one that allows us to create and capture elegant and artistic images and photographs and also tells the story of your Wedding Day – step by step. We concentrate on capturing the entire story of your Wedding Day while capturing all of the special little moments as individual images of art. Now your customized Wedding Photography experience begins… The Photo Information Sheet contains a number of important questions, both specific & general. It also has a large section for other ideas – this is where you can convey you special ideas for Wedding Poses, notes about your personal Wedding Style, ideas about how your Wedding Photographs should look, and anything that you want us to know! We want to know all of your special Wedding Day Ideas – so when the big day comes, we know you & we know what you like so we can tell your story the way you want it told!

–How much time should we spend on formal shots and fine art shots?
This will be a function of a few things – especially the customized Wedding Coverage based on your style. You may want to spend more time on special Fine Art Portraits as husband & wife; or maybe Fine Art Portraits of the Wedding Party and you; or maybe Family Portraits. How many portraits can we craft before the ceremony? Will you see your husband / wife before the ceremony? It all depends on your needs, and we are completely flexible to help schedule the Fine Art Portraits and other special Portraits to facilitate the flow of your Wedding Day. We understand the big picture too!

–Will you take table shots of my guests?
Yes. Your guests are part of your Wedding Day Story; they need to be included as well! We make it a point to try to visit each table at least once or twice to capture a few Posed Images as well as a few Candid Images. We also plan to capture images of them conversing, dancing, singing, and any other fun opportunities to show who they are and their relationship with you!

–Will you allow our friends/family to take pictures at the wedding?
We will ask guests not to take photographs while we are engaged in any Fine Art Portrait, Family Portrait, or other type of Portrait. It is extremely important that you are not distracted by other flashes or lenses. Amateur guest photography is not limited during the wedding or reception. We want them to get great images too!

–What type of photography equipment do you use?  Do you have backup equipment? We use professional quality photographic equipment – mainly Canon branded cameras and flashes; the Canon 5D MII is one of my current favorites.  It offers superior quality images and all of the control needed to fashion amazing images and stellar photographs in all types of wedding lighting and situations.  For your wedding, no less than 2 Canon 5D bodies and professional Canon photographic lenses will be available (and up to 4 Canon bodies / 5 photographic lenses).  Lighting equipment such as umbrellas, light stands, diffusers, and up to 4 professional Canon flashes will be available.  All of our photography is digital and I use high quality SanDisk cards of up to 32GB.  A lot of pride is taken in selecting and maintaining our photography equipment – to document your wedding day and craft fine art images with accuracy and reliability – you deserve it!

–What is the release of images? Will we get a high resolution DVD of the Wedding Images?
The release of images is a document that we sign to allow full personal (non-commercial) use of your Wedding Photographs. With the release you may print them and share them! And YES, you will receive a DVD / CD of all released and edited images from the wedding! (Our philosophy is a little different than most photographers who make you buy your images – it was your wedding, ya know? We want you to get all of the released images – you should not have to pay again!)

–Will you post images online for ordering & viewing?
Yes, we post the Wedding & Ceremony Photographs online. Your guests can view the images and purchase any that they like. This is a free service that is included in your Wedding Package with no requirement to purchase!

–Can I post my wedding photographs on my own website, blog or Facebook etc?
YES! As long as the use is personal, you can do whatever you like! We are always extremely excited to see our clients post their Marvelous Wedding Photographs on their Facebook, Google +, Twitter, or website!

–How much input will we have in the design of our Wedding Album?
A lot! You will pick the color of the leather album, choose your images, color enhancement shots, black & white shots, sepia tones, choose your colors, choose any lyrics or wording, and choose your style. We fully custom design your Wedding Album in house!
