Questions & Answers
a
appointment
when?
ideally book your photographer at least 6 months before your wedding.
Better, 12 months in advance, if you marry in the May-September period.
I invite you nevertheless to check my availability even if your wedding date is closer.
where?
contact me by phone or email contact@edobertona.it to arrange a meeting:
- in Borgomanero (NO), Via Maggiate, 69 – Palazzo Eden
Phone 0322.85652 – 348.2206220
- if you live far away from our studio, it is possible to arrange a voice-call or a video-call over Skype (edobertona).
why?
planning ahead will ensure my availability for your wedding date, allowing time for an on-site inspection and a better organization of your day.
album
You can have color pictures, b/w or both.
Choose in advance number of photos, album style and concept, according to your wishes and to your budget.
You can choose a classic album or a wedding book.
The first one features your photos, even in different formats, attached to its pages.
The wedding book is a more articulate narrative and graphic creation.
It’s a true photographic book.
If you would like, you can also have a DVD of your wedding.
b
b/w
I love both b/w and color.
Portrait and reportage are very effective in b/w. But not only.
To make the best choice, follow your personal taste and go further: season, place, time of the day, formal or informal ceremony, style of photography can determine your preference.
c
color
the choice of b/w, color or both is personal – completely up to you.
If you request, I can suggest how to add value to your photo-shoot.
For example, if photos can be taken after sunset and in the evening hours, you may have a very special light effect ora blu.
Those color images match wonderfully with b/w portraits.
contract
it’s the document – defined together and signed – stating our commitment to what is agreed in the details.
copies
even after my delivery, you may order copies of your DVD and reprints as a thank you gift for your guests, witnesses and relatives.
You can also request specific formats.
d
date
to reserve the date the contract must be signed and the deposit payed.
This will allow me to guarantee my commitment to your event (date, time, place, kind of the photo-shoot).
digigraphie
Digigraphie is the only printing solution that allows photography professionals and artists to create limited and certified editions of their original masterpieces, using a cutting-edge printing technology, which guarantees outstanding quality and durability.
direction
in addition to the typical moments of the event – at home, ceremony, reception – there is my direction to determine when shooting what, how, and under which light. I want the final result to touch you and move you.
That’s what I work for: reporting a real life event in its very unrepeatability.
DVD
The package may include the DVD of your wedding.
It’s a unique, exclusive mix of soundtrack and images.
On request I’ll produce more copies – for your parents, relatives, witnesses, friends.
e
exclusive
every photo-shoot is an exclusive creation for the client, covered by edo bertona copyright © for all of its content.
f
formats
available upon request, special format prints or reprints, as well as other photo items – e.g. smaller album copies for your parents and wedding party.
h
hours
I can be available the entire day or for more than one day or evening as stated, detailed and signed by contract.
l
minute
sometimes it happens. Your wedding is next month, and you don’t have a photographer yet.
Try to contact me: in case the slot is still available, you will enjoy my “last minute” offer.
o
ora blu
literally, the “blue hour”, with reference to the light at the end of the day, when the night begins. This light makes a particular effect in color images, whose beauty is almost independent of location.
The “ora blu” is a great moment to take pictures and I’ll always love to interpret it for those who ask me to do so.
p
pose
there can be posed photos that seem spontaneous.
Such shoots will not interrupt the event flow, but be a natural part of it.
They won’t stress the subjets, but will just record them.
In a wedding there is a moltitude of actors, and I gladly fulfil any request for portraying moments and people on the wedding scene.
r
rates
I offer a wide range of packages for different budgets.
I always suggest a meeting to discuss your personal needs and allow you to make the best of your money.
reportage
It’s when you picture things happening. It’s when you capture the very moment,the climax of the rite, but also an unpredictable detail, a fleeting glance, a natural gesture, an instant light effect. A reportage is a live document.
s
site visit
I’ll be always available to visit in advance the locations of your choice: church, municipal building, reception hall or other.
standard package
includes the photo-shoot at the agreed time, the realization of the wedding album or book and DVD as requested.
My work typically begins with the bride’s dressing – or even the groom’s – then continues with their arrival at the church, municipal building or other, then the ceremony, the reception, thus portraying the wedding couple, their relatives and guests. The number of photos varies according to the event style.
Shooting structure and dimensions are really of your choice – a package we define and refine together.
styling
your wedding may also feature a particular theme or element as a common thread, a note of color or a total look, inspired, e.g., by the bride’s gown.
If you wish, I will involve a styling and an organisation expert..
t
travel
I cover all Italy, Côte d’Azur and Provence in France, Switzerland – and gladly reach anywhere else, applying rates previously agreed with you according to distance and days.
w
web
if you wish you can have your wedding album online, accessible on this site with a personal password.
Just ask how.
wedding book
your wedding shoot transformed into a real book.
No photos attached to pages, typical of a classic album, but photos edited and printed to make a unique, customized creation.
Each wedding book is uniquely designed and features original narrative to remember a special day – yours.
View the gallery wedding/contemporary.
wedding cards
as an alternative to the usual wedding cards: portrait-cards printed on a top quality paper, in b/w or color, with the text you wish.
Even your thank you cards may be a photo of your wedding.
wedding list
include your wedding photo-shoot in your wish list.
You may involve your friends and guests in a very sympathetic and memorable gift.
There are two choices: fixed amount and incremental.
Fixed amount:
once you choose yor package, the total is divided into a number of equal small amounts.
Incremental:
you choose a starting package, and let your friends and relatives make it richer, giving you an additional shooting, or the DVD or other… this transforms your wedding shoot into a very original gift and we can work together to fulfil all of your wishes and requests taking into account your wedding season, day, time and reception needs.
