Frequently Asked Questions
Booking Process + Expectations
First, I will have you fill out my contact form - this helps me know a little about you, your wedding day details, and allows me to send correct info your way! We then find a time to facetime or chat over the phone to talk about details and get to know each other more! I will create a customized contract and an invoice where you can pay the nonrefundable retainer - this is where all of the details are laid out for you! Once the retainer is paid and the contract is signed you are fully booked and we begin all of the fun of working together!
What does the booking process look like?
We stay connected through email and text! I always try to answer as soon as I see your message! Fridays through Sundays are usually a slower response time due to shooting weddings and me trying to have a personal day to spend with my family! :)
How do we get in touch with you after we lock you in?
Heck yes I do! This is actually one of my favorite things to chat about, I am always so excited to hear what your plans are for your day! I usually chat over the phone with you to find out all of the details and then we create it together. This allows me to know what is important to you for me to capture and where to be at what time, always a good thing!
Do you help with our day of timeline?
YESSS! Once you are fully booked with me, I will send you a fun wardrobe/session guide to your email! Whether you are booking an engagement session or a different type of session, I have a customized guide for each! There are great tips and suggestions as well as what you can expect for your session from me! If you would like more ideas, I have a great Pinterest board you can check out!
What should I wear to my session, will you help me?
Images
For your engagement session, you can expect a minimum of 100+ high resolution edited images sent via an online gallery!
As for a wedding day, this can vary! Your gallery can depend on what is all going on during your day + how many hours you have me for. For an eight hour day, I would say you can expect a minimum of 700+ edited images, but if you have an hour of travel, bar time, or something else planned somewhere in the timeline, it may change that number!
How many images can we expect from you for our engagement session and wedding day?
Jeesh do I have nightmares about this one! I always back up everything! I use a dual slot camera, which means while shooting, your images are being recorded twice in case one card fails on me! Then, when I am back to my computer I save them on separate hard drives so I have two copies of them- one for editing and one as an additional backup.
How do you keep our wedding images safe?
I never like to rush the editing process, however I always try my best to get them to you quickly! For a session, you can expect a 3-4 week turnaround! For an off season wedding day, I return your gallery to you 5-7 weeks! During my busy season, It is somewhere between 6-8 weeks! My busy season begins in April and ends in November. I always stay in touch with you when I am getting closer to the end and I like to think it is worth it!
When I am finished with editing, I will send you an online gallery with the high resolution edited images. With the gallery, you are able to download, print, and share your images! It is a super fun way of reliving your wedding day all over again!
How long does it take to edit and how do we receive our images?
Ally Corinne Photography owns the copyright to the images! However, You are welcome to share and print however you may like! The final edited images I share with you will have no watermarks + you will receive a print release form if needed! This way, you are able to print your images without any issues!
Who owns the copyright to the images?
Miscellaneous
I am all about traveling anywhere + everywhere! I do charge for further away weddings from Ripon, Wisconsin. Don't let that stop you from getting in touch though, it really depends on where your wedding will be! If your wedding is outside of Wisconsin, there will be other travel accommodations to chat about that are customized to the location, but I LOVE adventures!
Do you travel for weddings?
All kinds!! While my main focus are couples and weddings, I also offer senior portraits, family, newborn, and maternity sessions! I do limit these every year so I can give the proper attention to my wedding couples, so if you are interested don’t wait to reach out!
What types of photo sessions do you offer?
I LOVE shooting one to two hours prior to sunset to get you that golden hour session! Most of my weekdays (Monday through Thursday) are available for sessions, while Fridays and Saturdays are usually spent shooting weddings! During the week, my husband works so I try to save Sundays for a family day with him and my sweet little girly!
When are you available to book my session?
