How many pictures will we receive?
I believe in quality over quantity, but I never set limits. The number of photographs taken depends on many things - the number of guests, hours of coverage, types of events, and the weather. My average for a wedding after selecting and editing is 500 - 800+ images, and my average after selecting and editing with a second photographer is 700 - 1000+ images, but those numbers may vary depending on the day itself.
Have you shot at my venue before?

My venue is very dark. How do you handle these situations?
I have shot in the darkest of dark chapels and reception halls so no need to worry! If the situation allows, I will set up additional lighting to ensure I get the best pictures.
