Frequently
Asked Questions

Yes. Always. George does not double-book and does not send associate photographers. The person you spoke with on the phone, who answered your emails, who you met at your consultation, that's the person who will be behind the camera on your wedding day. This is non-negotiable and a core part of how his business works.

Every couple I photograph takes part in the Portrait Experience. It's a session before your wedding, and it's where our work together begins. Every photographer directs differently, so this is where you find out what it feels like to be photographed by me, unhurried and with no timeline pressing on us, and where I learn how the two of you move together. It means your wedding day isn't the first time we work together.

Yes. Every couple does, and it's an essential part of my process rather than an add-on. Having been photographed before is genuinely useful, but it doesn't replace this. Every photographer guides, communicates, and directs differently, so what you learned in someone else's session doesn't transfer to how I work. The point isn't to prove you're comfortable on camera. It's so that on the wedding day, when there are eleven minutes for portraits and forty things happening at once, you already know my voice and I already know your rhythm.

Collections start at $3,499. But that number on its own doesn't tell you much, most couples need 10–12 hours to cover a full day, from getting ready through the reception, and every wedding is different. That's exactly what the complimentary consultation is for: George learns your day, then builds the right coverage around it and quotes accordingly.

George's payment structure is: $500 deposit on signing to secure your date, $500 due 60 days after signing, another $500 60 days after that, and the remaining balance due between 1 month and 2 weeks before your wedding. This schedule can vary depending on your wedding date. We'll go over payment details together during your consultation.

Your finished, fully edited gallery is delivered within about 2–3 weeks of your wedding day. Not proofs, finished images, edited to the same standard as the competition-winning work you saw before you booked. If you need a sneak peek sooner, ask George.

The number of images depends on your coverage, but on average you can expect roughly 100 fully edited photos per hour of coverage. For a typical 10 to 12 hour wedding day, that means around 1,000 or more finished images. George focuses on quality and completeness, every key moment is covered, and nothing is left out just to hit a number.

George is based in Brooklyn, NY (1317 Avenue Z, Sheepshead Bay). He regularly shoots across New Jersey, Long Island, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Westchester, and the surrounding area. He's also available for destination weddings.

Most New Jersey and Long Island weddings need between 10 and 12 hours of coverage, depending on your timeline, number of locations, travel time, and which moments matter most to you. Micro weddings may only need 4 hours, while larger multi-location weddings often need the full 12. Because every wedding is different, George creates a custom timeline for every couple and gives a personalized coverage recommendation based on your specific day.

Ten hours is the sweet spot for most full wedding days, covering getting ready through key reception moments like first dances, speeches, and the cake cutting. Twelve hours is ideal for couples who want maximum flexibility, more creative portrait time, extended reception coverage, or a wedding with multiple locations and longer travel windows. George builds a detailed timeline for every couple to help determine which option fits your day.

Pricing is subject to change based on demand, and packages may be adjusted at any time. The best way to secure today's rates is to reserve your wedding date during your consultation.

George is a boutique photographer, which means you work directly with him from start to finish, not an associate or a rotating studio shooter. That direct relationship allows for a higher level of attention to detail, communication, and care throughout the entire experience. From planning and timeline guidance to the wedding day itself, everything is handled with a personal, hands-on approach, so your photographs feel intentional, consistent, and true to your story.
