FAQs

What services do you offer?

I am a boutique wedding photography company.  I firmly believe in “jack of all trades, master of none”  I don’t try to delve into too many genres of photography, or even too many genres of portrait photography.  That is why I solely offer photography for weddings, engagements, trash the dress, day-after, or anytime for couples.  Need a maternity or baby photographer:  go to Lori Dorman Photography, she’s the best!

What products do you offer?

Products include image discs, greeting cards, guest books, wedding books, parent and mini books, and digital negatives.  I do not sell reprints or enlargements or canvas gallery wraps, but instead give you the negative and suggestions for where you can print your own products at a fraction of the price.  All products are best viewed in person. Call or e-mail to set up a meeting.

Are your available for travel?

I live in Los Angeles, California, but am available worldwide. The only thing I love more than weddings is traveling! I’ve shot weddings in Bogotá, Colombia, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Virginia, and Washington DC! All expenses, including airfare, hotel, ground transportation, and per diem are additional.

What can I expect from a portrait session?

Couples sessions (engagement, day after, trash the dress, or anytime sessions) take place at a location of your choice or I are more than happy to suggest a hot spot to you! You should expect to allow 1-2 hours for your shoot. Included in your session is the disc of images (raw and retouched), a link to download the retouched images, online proofing for 60 days. Additional products and guest books are optional extras.

What are your albums like?

An alternative to the traditional wedding album, my books can be tailor made to suit any occasion. They are custom-designed using your favorite photographs in a natural progression that best tells the story of your day. I design books in a coffee table style with merely a fold down the gutter, taking advantage of the least intrusive means possible for your spreads. The books feature fine art matte archival pages, a choice of faux leather, suede, silk, or linen covers, are hand-bound, and guaranteed for life. They come in 8×8 or 10×10 inch sizes and include 40 pages.

Guest books are also an alternative to the traditional lined book for signatures. This custom 20-page 8×8 book contains the couple’s favorite engagement photos. This not only allows guests to view your engagement session, but it also provides a fun place for them to write a special message to you.

What equipment do you use?

I shoot with professional Canon digital equipment, enabling me to provide my clients with an unlimited number of images that can be printed in color, black and white, or sepia. In addition, I use a variety of funky film cameras to provide more artistic options as well.  I also carry back up equipment to every wedding just in case.
