FAQ

What's included?

The Silver Collection includes a bridal photo session; full-day (up to 10 hours) coverage; a DVD slideshow of color corrected images; a CD or DVD of high resolution images (OR a 12x12 coffee table bride & groom album); an online gallery for ordering desk prints and wall art (and for passing along to friends and family so they're not constantly bugging you to make prints for them!). If you need more than 10 hours of coverage--perhaps you would like coverage to begin with the morning hair and makeup session or the groom and groomsmen's morning golf game, and continue until you leave the reception at midnight--additional hours of coverage are regularly $400 (billed in one-hour increments), but will also be discounted by 50% **if you book this package by the end of the year**.

How many photos will you take?

As many as needed. It's a somewhat flip answer, but it's true. We don't make a set number of exposures for every wedding, because every wedding is different. Generally, you may expect to have between 300 and 1,500 finished images from which to select, once blinks, unflattering expressions, and other unusable files are deleted.

If you have an intimate ceremony and a reception without dancing, you'll probably end up with fewer total images than another couple who has a 300-person guest list, an open bar, and six hours of dancing. That doesn't make either wedding better or worse than the other, but it does impact the way your photo total will accumulate. Regardless of the size of your wedding, though, your day will be documented in such a way as to allow you to relive it, visually, any time you flip through your album (or click through your image CD).

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required by the state of North Carolina to collect sales tax on behalf of the state. The current rate for most counties is 6.75%.

You keep saying "we" and "our" -- how many of you are there?

Just one. I know it's not grammatically correct, but for some reason I always think of the business as a "we." And I think it sounds better than if I used "I" all the time or tried to write it in the third person. But although Thornhill Photography is generally a one-person operation, I also have several local photographer friends with whom I work when the need arises for an additional photographer. Don't be fooled by photographers who offer ridiculously low prices for coverage involving a "second shooter"--you'll likely find that the second "photographer" is but a spouse or significant other of the real photographer, and has been handed a camera set to fully automatic and told to just fire off a bunch of shots.
