FAQ: What is your artistic style?

So, you guys, your wedding photographer is your storyteller.  It sounds a little cheesy, I know.  But these images share your story for generations to come.  This is why it's so important to choose a photographer who speaks your style language.  (p.s. if that style involves marble texture to any of you, um, we need to talk, like, today.  My newest obsesh.)

As you peruse portfolios, be on the lookout for aesthetic, personality, and voice.  Let's chat more about this via blogcast.

Natural                Elegant                Editorial

 

Natural - images that feel effortless with emphasis on the couple's connection.

Elegant - refined grace that showcases ideal angles and timeless beauty.

Editorial - the look and feel of a well curated magazine publication, images that tell the entire story through details, candids, and portraiture.  

FAQ: Copyright, Insurance, Experience & Emergencies - Oh my!

Sometimes I wish you could see my behind-the-scenes over here. 

My 3-year-old is prancing around in her high heels and purse on our wood and tile floors.  I keep re-setting my audio and trying to distract her with Paw Patrol and Animal Crackers.  I  know, totes world's best mom over here.  

Without further distraction (plus, I'm pretty sure I've maxed out healthy screen time limit for a day), your next blogcast installment.  

Do you have insurance?

Absolutely!  I can send that paperwork to your venue or planner upon request.  

DO WE HAVE THE COPYRIGHT TO ALL THE IMAGES?

WORKING WITH ME, YOU WILL HAVE FULL PERMISSION FOR ANY KIND OF PERSONAL USE OF THE IMAGES.  YOU MAY PRINT AND SHARE AWAY!  

I, HOWEVER, RETAIN COPYRIGHT.  IF YOU HAVE SIGNED AN IMAGE USAGE AGREEMENT WITH YOUR PLANNER, VENUE, OR ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL, I AM HAPPY TO BE GENEROUS WITH MY SHARING.  

I PROMISE TO BE VERY RESPECTFUL OF YOUR PRIVACY AND TREAT YOUR WEDDING IMAGES WITH DIGNITY.  

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER?

I STARTED DEBRA EBY PHOTOGRAPHY CO. IN OCTOBER OF 2010.  

WHAT HAPPENS IN AN EMERGENCY?  

SHOULD SOMETHING LIFE-THREATENING HAPPEN TO MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY, OR ME, I HAVE A VERY STELLAR NETWORK OF COLLEAGUES WHO HELP EACH OTHER OUT IN SUCH A SITUATION.  

I HAVE NEVER HAD TO CALL ON ANYONE FOR THIS, BUT YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT YOUR DAY WILL BE HANDLED WITH THE UTMOST PROFESSIONALISM EVEN IF SOMETHING EARTH SHATTERING OCCURS.  

Press - Coastal Bride

I am always on the hunt for inspirational wedding blogs.  There are many to be found, for sure.  Specifically, however, I was in search of something with a coastal wedding focus.  Drawing from the dreamy seascape that surrounds me.  

This is when I stumbled upon Coastal Bride.  I fell in love, immediately.

 Gillian curates the most lovely of pieces and I can't help but push the "love button" on everything she posts.  

We decided to collaborate on her upcoming three-year-anniversary shoot.  She dreamed up the concept for my team and then we had the joy of executing it.  

The professionals who I get to work with work magic.  No, like really.

The day of the shoot the wind was insane.   And cold.  Our poor custom gown was blowing all over the place, hair in our model's eyes, shivering in the breeze.  But, we work weddings.  In the craziest of conditions.  We re-grouped, found the best light, protected from the wind's fury.  

Then, the magic.  

Hop on over to Coastal Bride to see all of the curated gorgeousness - prepare to be inspired.
