Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? I've got answers. If you don't see what you're looking for, reach out through the Contact page and I'll get back to you within 24-48 hours.
How many photos will I receive?
For a full wedding day you can typically expect 400-600+ fully edited images. Shorter sessions will deliver fewer images, but every single one will be carefully edited and gallery-ready.
When will I receive my photos?
You'll receive a sneak peek of 10-15 images within 1 week of your wedding. Your full edited gallery will be delivered within 4-6 weeks via a private online gallery.
Do you shoot in RAW format?
Yes. I shoot entirely in RAW and deliver fully edited JPEG files. Unedited RAW files are not included in delivery.
Can we share our photos on social media?
Absolutely — please do! Tagging @mgephotography77 on Instagram or MGE Photography on Facebook is always appreciated.
Do you travel outside of Bristol for weddings?
Yes! I serve the entire Tri-Cities area including Kingsport, Johnson City, and Abingdon VA. Travel beyond a reasonable distance may include a small travel fee.
What if it rains on our wedding day?
Rain makes for some of the most dramatic and beautiful wedding photos. I shoot in all weather conditions. Some of my favorite images have been captured in the rain!
Do you have backup equipment?
Yes, always. I carry backup camera bodies, lenses, and flash equipment to every event.
How do we officially book you?
Your date is held once both a signed agreement and retainer are received. Verbal commitments do not hold dates.
What is your cancellation policy?
The retainer is non-refundable as it reserves your date exclusively for you. If cancellation occurs within 60 days of the wedding, the full package price applies.
Can we print our photos anywhere?
Yes! Your gallery includes a full print release for personal use — print at any lab you choose.
How long will our online gallery be available?
Your gallery will be available for download for 1 year from delivery. Please download and back up your images.
Do you offer videography?
Not currently, but I'm happy to recommend talented local videographers who complement my style.
