FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If we were watching a movie and we were looking for scenes to take screenshots of. That is how i shoot your wedding.
I shoot in a documentary + artsy style of shooting. I am looking at the location, lighting, and whats happening. I DON’T like to force poses. I like to have your photos as true to the day as I can make it be and If we need to pose, it would likely coming from inspos.
For example; THE PHOTO below Was an inspo from “Scar Face”. Couple had requested this!! I absolutely Love stuff like that
So if there if there is any movies, Art pieces, Themes, etc. Let us know, and we can implement it in to your photos!
OFC, I myself am an artist so naturally I create my own original Art that’s not really inspired by others. As shared previously I look at the location, lighting, and whats happening..
I love to take photos of silhouettes, shadows, and even small details most wouldn’t notice.
The photos below comes from one of the sections of an engagement session. ( This is only like 5 photos from their much bigger gallery! )
I am based in Mcallen Tx. (The very bottom of texas.)
However with that said, I have shot in Laredo, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas.
Absolutely… where were you??!! (Jack and Jill adam sandler… I know..)
As shared previously, I have shot in Laredo, Houston, dallas, San Antonio.
I would be honored to travel beyond texas to be a part of your special day. I understand that a wedding is sacred and you don’t want just any one shooting your wedding.
Yes, as of now every aspect is handled by yours truly Juan A. Perez Jr.
From communication, shooting, Editing.
So you can feel assured that when your wedding day arrives you have me, and not some other photographer. This actually being a reason my dates are limited, I don’t like to double book.
So once your date is booked, I block it off from all other couples.
In addition to the base price of the photography collection you choose –
you’ll also cover airfare, car costs, and accommodations. I cover everything in between!
It’s essentially the main expenses required when traveling.
you bum! Nah, I’m playing. So good news, your normal. Lol.
Sooo.. here’s a little secret on how I go about with posing you. I try my best not to pose you. I might say something like “Okay, lets play a game..”
In which OFC you have stuff to do with your hands. The only time, I do pose yall would be for any inspos you may have or if certain styles require it.
Pretty much all the couples, you see on my website or socials are not models, actors or even trained to pose in photos. So yeah, you will absolutely be fine.
On a similar note, If there is any posing or directing; I avoid any lip contact till the very end of the session / directing. Because, I don’t want to make your photos a whole make out session its weird. haha. + This forces me to do much more creative shots; Which is awesome for everyone because we can all agree “cookie cutter” photos are lame. (Personal opinion)
You will be receiving your photos via an online gallery.
You will be getting two versions in your gallery.
1. True to life (color)
2. Black & White (B&W)
BTW, If you want to see a real life example please feel free to ask!
You will receive your whole gallery in 3-5 weeks. + A next day sneak peek! It typically depends on the season, The length of your wedding and/or engagement session. I intentionally have it so you get your photos fairly quickly. ( For many photographers its typically longer… months even..)
You can expedite your photo gallery for 2-3 day delivery for an extra charge. (OFC assuming we have availability to do that. Since some dates I may not have the time to edit your gallery.)
Yes, we cover video as well. OFC when it comes to having photo / video, I naturally have another cinematographer or photographer to help me lead on your wedding day.
Also, You may have seen on social media some photographers do both photo / video at the same time. While that is great for like generic highlights, I’d prefer your wedding documented properly rather 100s of 2-5 second clips. Not a diss, It’s just the reality of shooting hybrid in that matter.
With all this said, Whoever is with me helping document your wedding will be either at my level or better when it comes to shooting.
Your wedding happens only once! Because of that we can’t afford having inexperienced people leading any important aspect of Documenting your wedding.
