PROCESS

THE JINGER PROCESS

Our couples start their relationship with us, by meeting the photographer whose gallery they enjoyed the most – this obviously depends on the availability of the photographer on your wedding date – and we will always try and work with you to find an equally inspiring match if your first choice happens to be unavailable for your date.

THE MEETING

We prefer to meet all our future wedding couples – mostly so that our photographers can get to know you and form a bond before your big day – but also so that you can discuss the all important logistics with them first hand, and discuss their style and the type of images that you want to have taken on the day. The meeting can be at your home, or in a café/bar near to a favourite scenic spot if you choose to have an engagement shoot.

PAY A DEPOSIT TO SECURE YOUR DATE

Our calendars get really busy, so we really need you to make a small commitment at the time of booking, so we can carve your wedding date into our solid stone diaries. You can pay the deposit for your wedding package by credit card or paypal in our SECURE DATE page. After this payment is received, you will get an emailed receipt. Before paying the deposit, it is important to make sure you are happy with the terms of your unique wedding contract.

THE WEDDING CONTRACT

This is a very boring, but very important document that is designed to protect both the prospective couple and the photographer from the unexpected. At Jinger Studios, we’ve gone all trendy green and cut out paper and postage from our contract process. We now use a stunningly simple, yet completely legally binding e-contract solution. Using ECHOSIGN, we email you an electronically signable PDF file with all the terms and details already filled in. You simply review the contract, electronically sign, and click send!

3 MONTH OUT PAYMENT

3 months before the wedding, we require upfront payment of 50% of the total package price. This protects our precious dates from the very rare times when couples either decide not to get married anymore (this mainly happens in the movies – so don’t panic) or find out that Annie Lebowitz (best photographer ever) will do their wedding for free.

FINAL PAYMENT

We require the final payment (the other 50% of the package price, minus the deposit) 1 week before the wedding.

THE WEDDING

We both love and need to be a part of your wedding planning, so please ‘cc’ us on all the important schedule stuff so that we get a good idea of how your day will play out in advance. On the day, just relax and enjoy yourself, safe in the knowledge that everything we discussed beforehand will happen without you worrying about it.

POST WEDDING

This is when our hardest work is done – sifting through the wonderful images of you and deciding the top ‘500’ – eliminating the odd pimple if they are uncouth enough to appear on your big day, and generally adding that ‘polished’ look you expect from wedding pictures. With all packages we supply an online gallery for all your friends and family to view and purchase images. This gallery is generally available within 1 week of the wedding – we often like to make this available within days – as we know how excited couples get.

ALBUMS

If your package does not include an album, but you decide that you would like to have a custom designed album at a later date, then we would be really happy to make one for you. There are lots of options, and it doesn’nt have to cost the earth. CONTACT US for more information.
