MIAMI WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FAQS
HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR MIAMI WEDDING PHOTOS? I AM HERE TO HELP & LOVE TO SHARE MY 15 YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE AS A PHOTOGRAPHER.
QUESTION
Do you shoot for a fixed number of
hours?
ANSWER
My South Florida wedding collections range from 8 to 10 hours of coverage, and I’ll work with you to figure out what makes sense for your day. I also offer intimate collections for weddings of 50 guests or fewer – so if you’re planning something smaller, there’s a package for that too.
QUESTION
Who will be photographing my
wedding?
ANSWER
Me. Once you book with Ambrosio Photography, Stacey Ambrosio is your photographer — that’s not something I hand off. Every wedding also includes an assistant, which makes a bigger difference than most couples expect. They carry equipment, hold your bouquet, wrangle family members, and generally make the whole day run more smoothly.
As for a second photographer: it depends on your wedding. Having two of us means we can be in two places at once, which is genuinely valuable for certain timelines and venues. I’ll tell you honestly whether I think you need one.
QUESTION
Will we meet BEFORE THE WEDDING?
ANSWER
Always. I like to meet in person – coffee, lunch, whatever works – before you even book, so we can make sure we’re a good fit. If you’re planning from out of state, a Zoom call works just as well. Then about 30 days before your wedding, we connect again to finalize the timeline, or I work directly with your planner to make sure everything is locked in.
QUESTION
How candid vs. posed is your style?
ANSWER
It’s both, and the balance is something we talk through together. I take a documentary approach for most of the day – I’m watching, moving, capturing what’s actually happening. For portraits and family photos, I’ll step in and direct so you have images that are polished, not just candid. You’ll get a suggested shot list from me ahead of time so we don’t miss anyone important.
QUESTION
How many PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE AND WHEN?
ANSWER
Your full retouched gallery is delivered 4 to 6 weeks after your wedding. On average, I deliver 75 to 100 images per hour of coverage – but I never cap what I shoot. You’ll have everything you need to print, share, and download at full resolution, and your gallery stays online for a year from your wedding date.
QUESTION
how is the gallery delivered?
ANSWER
Through a private, password-protected online gallery. You’ll have full printing rights, so you can print, download, share, or email anything in it. The gallery is yours for a year from your wedding date.
QUESTION
TELL ME ABOUT ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS?
ANSWER
I recommend them to every couple. It’s less about the photos (though those are great) and more about spending an hour together before your wedding day so you’re comfortable in front of my camera when it matters. Couples who do engagement sessions are noticeably more relaxed on their wedding day.
Sessions are typically an hour, at a location of your choice. If you’re based in New York and want to shoot there before you head down for the wedding, I’m always up for that.
QUESTION
Do you OFFER WEDDING ALBUMS?
ANSWER
Yes, and I love designing them. Albums are printed and bound in Italy with a seamless lay-flat bind and custom-designed here. You choose from six paper options and design your cover to fit the look and feel of your wedding. Parent albums are also available – same design, sized down – and they make genuinely great gifts.
QUESTION
Do you use a contract ?
ANSWER
Yes. Once we decide to move forward, I’ll send over a contract to review. A 25% retainer secures your date, with the remaining balance due a week before your wedding. Payment plans are available- just ask.
QUESTION
do you CARRY liability insurance?
ANSWER
Yes, fully insured, and I can provide a certificate of insurance to your venue or vendor team if needed. I also have a trusted network of photographers I can call on in a genuine emergency – though in 15 years, I’ve never had to.!
QUESTION
Is photo retouching included in the
price of the album?
ANSWER
Yes, the album will be examined for dust and minor retouching, and each image will be toned to ensure the perfect print. Major retouching and/or cloning services are billed at an additional fee.
QUESTION
Our parents want an album – can you
replicate our album for them?
ANSWER
Yes, we can create a parent album with identical design for a flat fee based on size selection. Parent albums are great thank you and holiday gifts for parents and grandparents alike.
QUESTION
What do you do when you are not
shooting weddings?
ANSWER
Proud PTA mom. I’m usually organizing something at school or running the kindness club. When I’m not doing that I’m somewhere near the water with my toes in the sand. The ocean is non-negotiable.
