A non-denominational minister presides over our wedding ceremonies, but if you wish to inquire about having a non-religious ceremony or religious ceremony (an additional cost may apply) please consult with your wedding planner.

The best way to estimate it is to carefully consider the following:

1. The size of your wedding party
2. The scope of photography coverage needed for the day (e.g. First Look session, spa coverage, getting ready shots, family and group portraits)
3. The order of events for the day and specific requests (compare length of time with photography time booked in your package)

• 1 Photographer
• Editing and Post Production of purchased images
• Slideshow set to music with up to 40 purchased images
• Purchased image proofs delivered on property
• Digital delivery of final images

The number of images taken at your wedding will vary significantly depending on multiple factors: The size and scope of the event, the number of guests, more than one photographer, pre-ceremony and spa shots and the number of hours of coverage requested. A simple wedding with just a bride and groom in attendance and two hours of coverage will normally result in somewhere between 150-250 images.

Due to the nature of our on-property operations it is not possible to choose your photographer or correspond with him/her prior to your arrival on property. Your pre-wedding planner will be addressing all your queries prior to your arrival. Once on site, you will have the opportunity to meet and get to know your assigned photographer during your wedding consultation. All your questions, concerns and requests will be addressed at that point.

Packages for 25, 50 & 75 images come with two (2) hours of continuous coverage. Packages for 100+ image packages come with three (3) hours of continuous coverage. Additional hours can be purchased according to your needs.

The on-property Wedding Coordinator will work with you and the Photoshop to schedule a viewing appointment at a time convenient to you, usually the day after the wedding.

Yes, they can. Just have them visit the photo shop after you have completed your viewing.

Your included slideshow is comprised of up to 40 images (It can be less depending on how many you purchased) and set to music selected by our editing team. Within ten (10) business days of your photo viewing session on property you will receive a high resolution (1080p) MP4 file.

Post production: Finished images go through full Adobe Lightroom post production which includes colour & exposure correction, cropping & straightening, addition of filters & effects and cleaning.

Photoshopping: Adobe Photoshop is used to make significant changes to images to include photomanipulation. For example: Removal of bra straps from an image, removal of a distracting element in the background of a picture, removal of seaweed on a beach shot, etc. Guests receive 8 free images Photoshopped once their package includes a book. Any additional images to be photoshopped will attract a charge of $15 per image.

A link will be sent to you for approval and you will have the opportunity to request changes and edits at that point. The finished book or books will not be sent for production until your final edits have been made and you send your approval.

The standard design timeline for a wedding or holiday photo book package with basic edits is 2-3 weeks excluding weekends, holidays and image edit special request.

• August to March - 2 to 3 weeks (standard)
• April to July - 4 to 6 weeks (peak season)
