Commonly Asked Questions

How much time should I choose and what are my options?

We allow you to select the number of hours you need for your event, from one to two hours to our all day package, which includes unlimited time the day of your event. The all-day package takes the pressure off you in trying to accomplish all of your plans before the photographer leaves. Additional hours can be added to all packages the day of the event.

Do I get to keep my proofs?

Every package includes a full set of proofs, a mix of color and black and white prints. The proofs are 4x5's copyrighted and numbered on the reverse side, but are yours for the using.

How much time is needed for group shots?

We recommend you plan an hour for group shots although it usually doesn't take that long.

What is the ratio of posed to candid shots?

We average about 85% candid with mainly the group shots being the only posed shots we do. Our goal is to capture your event, without interfering with it. Most of the time you won't even know we are there.


Do you carry backup equipment?

We carry a minimum of three cameras, one for color, one for b&w and a third as a reserve. We also carry extra lenses, film and other equipment for unexpected situations.

How long after my wedding will I receive my proofs?

It normally takes about three weeks to get your proofs back. Albums and reprint orders are delivered within 90 days of order.


How long have you been in business? What are your credentials?

Tradewind Productions was established in 1997. Certificates and memberships held through Professional Photographer of America, Society of Photo Finishing Engineers, National Association of Wedding Professionals, Canon Pro Services, The Guild of Professional Photographers, Certified Master Printer.

What is the difference between a base package and a package with an album?

We offer you the choice of creating a package that meets your individual needs. A base package includes the time you select, a full set of proofs and all expenses for the time(except sales tax). We do not charge extra for travel. We offer suggestion packages with albums and other items, but all items can be interchanged to create a package unique to your event.

What is your payment policy?

A deposit of 25% reserves your date. The balance is due the day of your event. This allows you to choose when to make the payments. Some couples make payments prior to the event, and others pay the balance the day of the event, the choice is yours.

What happens if the photographer is sick or unable to make the wedding?

Tradewind Productions is a member of the Photographers Guild Emergency list, and we also have other Studios, we work with in case of such an event. To date however, we have never needed to use this option.

How many photographs do you take in a night?

A four hour package usually runs around two hundred prints and the all-day package runs around five to six hundred prints.
