Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tino the actual photographer?
Yes, Tino is one of the photographers and he’s the owner of Tino Photography.
How is Tino Photography different from other studios?
We’re a boutique, family-owned photography studio that accepts a limited number of weddings each year, allowing us to give every couple our full attention. When you meet with us, you’re meeting the actual photographers – not salespeople. Tino personally oversees the editing and design of every wedding, ensuring a consistent level of quality from the first consultation to the final images.
I just got engaged, where do I begin?
Take advantage of a complimentary in-person consultation and meet the photographer who will capture your wedding. Beyond talent and experience, finding someone you connect with is an important part of creating a comfortable, authentic experience in front of the camera.
What do I ask for in our personal meeting?
Everyone will show you the best that they have done throughout the years as photographers but that can be deceiving. Ask the following:
– Can I see several entire weddings?
– Can I see the raw pictures from the weddings that you shot during the last two weeks?
– Can I see pictures taken on a rainy day?
– Can I see pictures shot at night/in low lighting?
– Can I see how consistent your work is when it is done indoors and outdoors?
** NOTE that a virtual meeting is not ideal to see and understand the answer to the questions above.Who should I bring to the meeting with me?
Come with your partner, as you will both benefit greatly from this meeting. If one set of parents is helping you with the photo/video payment and if they want to come, then you can definitely bring them as well.
What are your office hours?
Monday through Friday: 10:00 PM – 10:00 PM
There are very limited openings during the weekends. Please check our availability here.
Most couples book an appointment with us after 5:00 PM once they are done with work or school.
What methods of payments do you accept?
Amex, Visa, Master Card, Discover, Personal Checks, Cash, Venmo, and Zelle are accepted.
How many images will I get?
All of them taken at your wedding. If you have about 120 guests you can get between 1,500 and 2,000 images.
Who chooses the pictures to be edited?
Tino does. But if you would like to choose then we are happy to let you do that.
What happens if Tino or the photographer allocated to me has an emergency on my wedding day?
In the unlikely event that the assigned photographer is unable to cover your wedding due to an injury, illness, act of God, or other cause beyond the control of the COMPANY, the COMPANY will make sure to secure a replacement for your wedding.
Do you offer packages that have two photographers?
Yes, you can have two photographers at your wedding if you like. However, it is most likely that you will not actually need a second photographer. Two photographers give you quantity, while a photographer with a great assistant will give you quality. With an assistant, you spend less and get a better product. Let’s talk about your wedding and determine if you really need a second photographer.
What happens if it rains or snows?
Our quality of work is not based on how beautiful the weather is. We are experienced photographers and can produce quality work on a sunny or rainy day, outdoors or indoors, with flash or natural light.
Do you have photobooths?
Yes. We have open air booths and a mirror booth, 360 video booth, etc.
What is your style of photography?
We cover your day using two styles:Editorial style is used during the first part of the day. We choose the light, the location, tell you what to do, guide you how to pose and interact, etc.Documentary style is used for the second part of the day and in most cases this involves: ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. During this time we photograph everything that we see happening but we no longer interact with you. At this point you are free to have a great time with friends and family.
How long does it take to take my wedding package?
Two weeks to four months, depending on your package. If you are getting just photography and no albums, then you can have it ready in two weeks. If you have an album, and the album is done in Italy, along with video, then your package can take up to four months after the wedding to be ready.
Do you offer discounts to first respondents?
We offer incentives. Don’t be afraid to inquire about them.
Do you offer a payment plan?
Yes, we accommodate all couples as best we can. You can reserve our services with as little as $1,500. After the deposit, you create your own payment plan on a monthly basis if you like.
