About the Photographers at Images Unique

Are you experienced at doing wedding photography?

YES. OUR STAFF OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS HAVE MORE THAN FOUR DECADES OF COMBINED PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE. WE'LL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE A LIST OF TESTIMONIALS OR CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THOSE COUPLES WHO HAVE CONSENTED TO SHARE THEIR ADDRESSES. WE ARE PROUD THAT WE HAVE A 100% SATISFICATION RATE!

Do you offer additional photo services, such as videotaping or a DVD of the wedding?

YES. WE OFFER THE "LEGACY WEDDING ALBUM," A SPECIALLY-PRODUCED WEDDING ABLUM ON DVD. IT FEATURES CLASSIC WEDDING MUSIC, AND BEAUTIFUL TEXT AND "FADE" EFFECTS. IT ALSO COMES COMPLETE IN A HANDSOME LEATHER CASE BY RENAISSANCE WITH TWO INSET PHOTOS! WE ALSO OFFER VIDEOGRAPHY SERVICES. PLEASE INQUIRE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND PACKAGE OPTIONS.

Will you conduct a pre-wedding inspection of the site?

AS YOU DESIGN YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGE, YOU MAY ARRANGE FOR AN ON-SITE CONSULTATION FOR A NOMINAL FEE. HOWEVER, AN ON-SITE CONSULTATION COMES "STANDARD" IN TWO OF OUR BASE PLANS, "DELUXE WEDDING" AND "THE ULTIMATE WEDDING."

Is there an additional fee for bridal consultations during the planning stages?

WE OFFER ONE FREE CONSULTATION TO EVERY PROSPECTIVE BRIDE AND/OR GROOM TO SEE OUR SAMPLES AND MEET US IN OUR STUDIO AT 30 E. MAIN STREET, CHILLICOTHE. JUST CALL (740) 774-6243 FOR AN APPOINTMENT. ADDITIONAL CONSULTIONS MAY BE HELD IN OUR STUDIO AT NO ADDITIONAL FEE, BUT ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. FOR CONSULTATIONS ON-SITE, A SMALL SERVICE FEE APPLIES.

How early will the photographer arrive and begin photography on the wedding day?

WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU ARRANGE FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS TO ARRIVE AT LEAST TWO HOURS (OR MORE) BEFORE THE CEREMONY BEGINS. THIS ENSURES ENOUGH TIME FOR ALL YOUR PRE-WEDDING, STAGED PHOTOS. HOWEVER, ACTUAL ARRIVAL TIME IS DECIDED UPON BY THE COUPLES, WHO WORK WITH PHOTOGRAPHERS TO CREATE A CUSTOM PHOTO CHECKLIST.

Who selects the photos that will create the final wedding album?

YOU DO! WE PRINT A "PROOF COMPOSITE BOOK" AND CREATE AN ONLINE GALLERY FOR EVERY WEDDING THAT WE PHOTOGRAPH. COUPLES THEN CHOOSE THE IMAGES FOR THIER FINAL ALBUM.

How many photographers come to the wedding?

WITH US, YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION OF "ADDING A PHOTOGRAPHER" TO CAPTURE WEDDING PHOTOS FROM ADDITIONAL VANTAGE POINTS DURING THE EVENT. THE SUPPLEMENTAL FEE IS VERY AFFORDABLE. HOWEVER, TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS COME AS COME AS "STANDARD" IN THREE OF OUR BASE PLANS, "BRIDE'S DELIGHT," "DELUXE WEDDING," AND "THE ULTIMATE WEDDING." PHOTOGRAPHS FROM BOTH CAMERA ANGLES MAY BE INTERMIXED IN YOUR WEDDING ABLUM WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR FINAL SELECTIONS.

Are you prepared to bring additional lighting equipment for dimly lit locations or special situations?

ABSOLUTELY. EACH OF OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS IS COMPLETELY TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED AT STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY SET-UPS. IF ADDITIONAL LIGHTING IS NEEDED FOR YOUR LOCATION, WE MAY SUGGEST THIS ADDITION. HOWEVER, THE USE OF STUDIO LIGHTS AND BACKDROPS IS AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED IN THREE OF OUR BASE PLANS.

Are there any back-up plans for mechanical malfunctions or unforeseen problems that may occur on the wedding day?

YES. WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS IMPERATIVE TO EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. WE HAVE ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT AND BACK-UP PLANS FOR UNFORESEEN, PROBLEMATIC SITUATIONS.

Will any black and white photos be taken?

WE CAN CREATE A MIXTURE OF BEAUTIFUL BLACK & WHITE PHOTOS (OR SEPIA TONES) UPON REQUEST. SIMPLY INDICATE YOUR PREFERENCES TO THE PHOTOGRAPHER DURING A CONSULTATION.

Will outdoor photos be taken even for an indoor wedding?

IF YOU PURCHASE A WEDDING PLAN THAT INCLUDES SUFFICIENT PHOTO TIME TO DO BOTH, WE WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PHOTOGRAPH A VARIETY OF CREATIVE OUTDOOR PHOTOS. EVEN IF YOUR WEDDING IS HELD INDOORS, THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL FEE FOR THIS REQUEST IF THE OUTDOOR PHOTOS ARE TAKEN AT THE SAME LOCATION.

How much time is allotted for the wedding reception?

RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHY TIME VARIES--BASED ON THE PLAN YOU PURCHASE. "THE ULTIMATE," FOR EXAMPLE, OFFERS TWO FULL HOURS OF PHOTOGRAPHY DURING THE RECEPTION. ADDITIONAL RECEPTION TIME IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS AN ALA CARTE OPTION IF YOU WANT MORE.

Are all fees and charges disclosed at the time prior to the wedding (i.e. mileage or service fees, or overage charges)?

YES. YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER WILL REVIEW EVERY OPTION AND FEE AT THE TIME OF YOUR CONSULTATION. IN FACT, YOU WILL RECEIVE A COPY OF THE CONTRACT, SHOWING WHAT'S INCLUDED AND HOW MUCH YOU PAY. EVERY PURCHASE YOU MAKE IS ITEMIZED.

What types of payment options are available?

WE ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS, MASTERCARD, VISA, AND/OR CASH.
