Q: How long has New Image Studio been in business?

A: Forever! Okay, not forever, but for a long time: since 1989.

top

Q: What is New Image Studio's primary business?

A: The bulk of our business is commercial, wedding and portrait photography.

top

Q: What should I wear for my Portrait Session?

A: We suggest you check out the way our other clients are dressed in the images on this Web site. Which ones do you like? We’ll be happy to discuss options with you.

top

Q: How experienced are your photographers?

A: Our photographers train with us for about a year, or until we feel sure they are ready to give our clients the service and the results they expect. Most of our photographers have prior art and photography experience, but we've actually had five clients come to work for us after connecting really strongly with our style!

top

Q: If I choose New Image Studio, which photographer will be assigned to me?

A: There are several ways we can match you up with the right photographer:

1. 1. Choose your photographer—we’re happy to show you samples of their work at the studio. There are also samples online.
2. 2. Let us pair you up with the person we feel would suit you best. As we talk about your day with you, we’ll get a feel for your personal style and particular needs.

Q: Will I get to meet with my wedding photographer?

A: Of course! You can meet or talk to your photographer before you book New Image Studio. Once you book, you’ll definitely be discussing the event together in detail.

top

Q: If I have contracted for a particular photographer, can I be sure that is the photographer I will get on the day of my wedding?

A: : The answer to that is: yes! If you contract with one photographer, we will not substitute another photographer. Our photographers are professionals who take their work seriously, and only a serious emergency would cause us to have to change your photographer.

top

Q: When would you suggest I book New Image Studio as my wedding photography studio?

A: We recommend you book a year in advance, but we’re happy to check our availability no matter how close the big day is.

top

Q: How many photographers will New Image Studio provide for my wedding day?

A: You will be contracting for one lead photographer, but New Image Studio photographers never travel alone! There will be two people at your wedding to be sure you get the best possible service on your day.

top

Q: How would you classify the New Image Studio style of wedding day photography?

A: New Image Studio photographers specialize in a photojournalistic style, which means we don’t control or direct your event, but capture moments as they unfold. However, we will also take group portraits and beautiful images of the two of you. You and your photographer can talk about the best way to coordinate the shooting of these traditional images.

top

Q: When should I have my Engagement or Bridal Portrait Sessions?

A: If you would like an engagement portrait to appear in the newspaper, we recommend you schedule the photo shoot a few months before your wedding day. If you are looking for an image of the two of you to display at your reception as a portrait or signboard, the session can take place closer to your wedding day, such as a month in advance.

We recommend you schedule a bridal portrait session at least four weeks before your wedding. When making your plans, be sure to have your gown ordered well in advance and your fitting scheduled so that it’s ready for the shoot. And don’t forget your hair and flowers!

top

Q: Where do you recommend the Engagement or Bridal Portrait Session take place?

A: Your photo shoot can take place inside our studio or outside on location…but we have to be honest: we love outdoor portraits! The backdrop of nature can’t be duplicated, and we think early spring and late fall yield the most beautiful results. Depending on the time of year, we have several locations we recommend, and our wedding packages include on-location coverage, so there is no additional fee for locations within Wake County.

top

Q: Do you offer videography?

A: No, but we’re happy to recommend a videographer.

top

Q: What is your pricing for weddings?

A: We offer several standard wedding packages starting at about $2390 for a four-hour wedding. Please contact us to learn more about what we offer.

top

Q: Will you travel? Is there a travel fee?

A: Yes, we travel and can provide you with quote.

top

Q: Are there any extra fees that I should expect above the package price for my wedding?

A: Your paperwork will thoroughly outline for you what is included in your package, and we will go over everything with you in detail, so there will be no surprises. If you wish to add on services, an additional pricing sheet will be included in your packet for your convenience. Some of our customers choose to add a frame for their portraits, or buy additional images and reprints beyond those included in their package. Also, a travel fee will be added to locations outside Wake County.

top

Q: How long after the wedding will my images be presented to me?

A: You will view an incredible, personalized slideshow of the best images from your day (no limit) about ten days after your wedding day. We provide an Internet slideshow of the "best of the best" and a custom presentation booklet of all the images. We also place your proofs on a secure Web site that can be shared with family and friends.

top

Q: How much control do I have over album design? How long will the design process take?

A: This is the process: you’ll choose a certain number of images that you definitely want in the album, and identify images you do not want. That leaves our designers with a third group of images to use at their discretion.

When you place your order, our professional designers work with you to get an idea of your preferences and your style. Then they will custom design an album specifically for you. It usually takes about 8 to 12 weeks from when you place your order to create a design for your approval.

The next step is to view your design. This is your opportunity to make any changes. You and your designer will discuss any modifications that may be necessary, but most often we find our clients love what we do and make minimal changes or none at all.

After approving the design, it takes 1 to 6 weeks before we hand you the final album, depending on the album style you choose.
