When people contact me, they frequently ask the following questions.  If your question is not answered here then please contact me by phone 1-604-907.2724 or e-mail info at sarahbournephotography dot com (sorry for the spelling out of the address – I’m trying to avoid spam).

Do you charge extra for travel and accommodation?

- In order to keep my fees as low as possible, I do not charge full reimbursement for travel and accommodation.  I do charge a flat fee for various locations to help towards my costs:

• For weddings on Vancouver Island or Sunshine Coast there is an additional $450 charge to cover ferry fees and accommodation.
• Vernon, Armstrong, Kelowna and other Okanagan towns – $200

When will you get to the town where my wedding is taking place?

– For weddings outside the Sea-to-Sky corridor I will arrive the day before your wedding.  I will arrive early enough to meet you to go over your final wedding details, requirements and timeline.  Also to look at your venue and other potential photo locations.

Do you provide a proof album?

- No.  Proof albums are a legacy from the days of film: Photographers retained the rights to the photographs and you had to order prints through them.  I provide the digital images on disc so that you can print as many photos of whatever size yourself.  This is more economical for you.

Can I print from the CD/DVD?

– Yes.  I include all of the photographs in full resolution jpegs that you can print from.  I also resize all of the images for you to a lower resolution that is easy for e-mail, Facebook and other electronic sharing.

How many photographs will I receive?

- For my 8 hour package I will include approximately 200 photographs.  For the 6 hour package there will be about 150 images.   I would rather provide a selection & variety of good quality images than lots and lots of similar images.

When will I receive my photographs?

- I aim to send your CD/DVD of images to you within 10-14 days from the date of your wedding.  I will usually put a selection of images on my blog site within 5 days so that you can get a sneak preview!

How do I make a reservation?

- The best thing to do is to contact me to ensure that I am available.  I will take all the pertinent information – names, addresses, ceremony and reception information etc so that I can prepare a contract.  I will send that to you by e-mail.  Please return it, signed, with your deposit cheque.  I require a $500 deposit on signing.  This is non-refundable.  Once I have received your signed contract I will also sign it and send a copy to you for your records, together with a receipt for the deposit.

When is the balance payable?

- The balance is payable the week of your wedding, or on the day of at the latest.   I can accept cash, cheques or PayPal.

I hope that this information is useful but please do not hesitate to contact me if you have other questions.
