James, one of the owners, is in charge of all the editing and delivering the gallery to you! The edits will reflect the true to life, film inspired, timeless edit.
The starting rate to work with both Emily & James is a larger investment under the brand The Hancocks Co. If your photography budget allows for a larger investment and you want to work with James and Emily at your wedding please inquire with the form on THIS PAGE.
Any members of our team documenting your day are experienced photographers and have been trained by the owners, James and Emily. You will have the opportunity to meet and talk to your lead photographer prior to your wedding day.
Welcome party, rehearsal dinner, or after party coverage can be added to your experience. Coverage includes up to 2 hours of coverage with one photographer. This is a great opportunity to grab group photos with those guests who are out of town. It's an easy add on to document the start or ending to your wedding weekend!
All wedding day travel fees are included in your collection with no extra or hidden fees. Engagement session travel is included to a location within a one hour drive of Lynchburg, Roanoke, or Charlottesville VA.
Yes! There is a payment plan with 3 payments. The non-refundable deposit to hold your date is 33% at the signing of your contract.
You will receive your photos through an online gallery link to download them to any device. As a bonus, you will also receive a unique app for your phone to access your photos on any mobile device. Share the link as you wish because they are your photos!
It really depends on several factors: hours of coverage, size of bridal party, # of wedding guests, how many details you have, if you share any first looks, your reception events, if your guests are big party dancers, etc. There are A LOT of factors but generally speaking you can expect anywhere from 50-100 images per hour of wedding day coverage.
The contract allows up to 3 months but we have never taken that long to deliver a gallery. In the busy months (April-June & September-November) it could take 1-2 months. Any sessions are a 2-3 week turnaround time.
For sessions, you can reschedule if the weather is bad, although we have shot in snow and rain! On the wedding day, we can’t reschedule but the team isn’t scared of bad weather! Fun fact, the team has navigated a combined 50+ rainy wedding days including 5 awful hurricane rains!
Our cameras record each photo to 2 different memory cards. So if there is an issue with a memory card there are duplicates! We have procedures in place with our team to make sure your photos are backed up after the big day.
The back up plan is laid out in your contract for you to review before booking but there are 2 basic options: choose your own replacement or use another member of the team! We have 7+ photographers in addition to James and Emily, the owners. Based on everyone's schedules we have backup photographers ready to step in.
