Q. Are you the wedding photographer who will actually take our pictures? If not, can we meet the person who will be?
A. Daphne Taylor and Craig Becker are the primary photographers for Creative Image Photography. Both of them will be working with you on your wedding day to capture every moment, from the primping to the tears to the partying. Having two photographers allows us to be in two places at the same time on your day, like when you’re both getting ready at the same time. We’re also able to capture key moments from two different perspectives, like when you see each other for the first time or your first kiss.
Q. What primary wedding photographic style do you identify with?
A. Creative Image Photography uses a blend of traditional photography where we capture you and your family, photojournalistic photography where we capture special candid moments and artistic photography where we capture you as a couple in fun and creative poses that you will love.
Q. Do you shoot in color or black and white?
A. Every image created by Creative Image Photography is available in color, black and white, or sepia. This gives you the opportunity to design your album the way you want it and to remember your day they way you want your memories to live on.
Q. What kind of input can we have on the direction of the shots? Can we give you a shot list to work from?
A. At Creative Image Photography, we want your input to make sure we capture your day the way you want to remember it. We’re always happy to receive your wish list of photographs.
Q. What kind of equipment will you bring with you?
A. At Creative Image Photography, we use only the latest Canon equipment, primarily the Canon 5D. We always bring backup equipment with us to every wedding. We use a variety of lenses, depending on the situation, with our favorites allowing us to capture you and your guests without noticing us.
Q. How many photographs do you take?
A. We work exclusively with digital photography equipment at Creative Image Photography, which allows us to take as many shots as we need to capture all the key moments in the way that you want to remember them. This may mean that we take well over 1,000 photos at your wedding and we guarantee that you will have at least 500 images to choose from to design your album.
Q. How soon after the wedding day can we see our photographs?
A. Your online gallery will be available from Creative Image Photography one to three weeks after you return from your honeymoon. Once you’ve had a chance to look at all the images in your gallery, we’ll work with you to select the images for your album.
Q. How far in advance are you booked?
A. The Creative Image Photography team is booked for certain times of the year 12 months in advance and key dates in the summer book up quickly. We only book one or two weddings per weekend to make sure we have time to devote to your special day.
Q. Where are you located?
A. Our office is located in Bothell, Washington. We photograph weddings all over Puget Sound area and specialize in Seattle and the Eastside. We are also available for both national and international destination weddings. Contact us for a quote for destination wedding photography.
