FAQ

What does this whole “photography team” mean, anyway?

Great question! As creatives, we realized we are better off as a team that works together for the common good. Nikki does a lot of the behind the scenes work and most of the scheduling since the other lead photographers like to focus more on the creative side of the business. Dont worry, Nikki is a creative, too—but, she loves communication!

In a fast paced industry, we want to make sure that we are responding to emails promptly, being of service in a timely manner, plus have the focus and inspiration to give our clients the best gallery of themselves. We do this as a team, and we do it well.

What is your photographic style?

We define our style as true to life portraiture. We are suckers for raw, authentic emotion and really thrive when we are in that environment. We have been trained as portrait studio photographers, so we are knowledgeable on how to light subjects appropriately without interfering with the interactions that come in to play during a wedding. When most people view our style they are drawn to the true to life colors and die hard emotion that is captured.

How many photographs can we expect to receive?

A full gallery ranges anywhere between 700-900 images. This is dependent on how many hours you have booked us for. We are firm believers in quality over quantity.

What is your pricing for wedding collections?

The average couple invests anywhere from $4000-$6000 for our 8 hour package. Please inquire about weekday weddings/elopements for specialty pricing.

Do you photograph same-sex weddings?

As allies, friends, and family members to the LGBTQ community—we are all about supporting love!

Do you have second shooters?

We have about 5 second shooters that we love to work with. All of their styles are similar to Fancy This and they each have their own personal strengths. Since Fancy This has a specific reputation to uphold, we make sure that every second shooter lives up to that name. They are all a joy to work with (on our side and the clients) and that means so much to us.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes! Now you are speaking our language! Not only do we photograph in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area of North Carolina, but we also travel to the eastern part of the state for beach weddings quite a bit. We have traveled outside of the state and country for weddings and have photographed couples in Jamaica, Spain, Germany, Canada, and the Bahamas. If you are planning a wedding outside of the states, we would love to be your photographer.

For the images that we receive, are they all edited?

Absolutely. No client will ever receive an image that is not thoroughly polished up and representative of our name.

Can I print the images myself?

You are more than welcome to print your images as every wedding client receives printing rights of their gallery. However, if you do decide to print yourself please note that with non-professional photo labs you risk prints that are not color corrected as their printers are not calibrated. All clients are welcome to order from our lab via the password protected online gallery that is used to send their gallery.

Can I order prints or albums from you?

Of course! And we would highly suggest you do this as our photo lab is a certified lab who cares about each image that is printed. We not only offer prints, but beautiful heirloom wedding albums that are curated personally for each couple. The best part about our own weddings was actually receiving our wedding albums and looking at it for the first time. For your wedding, we would suggest to invest in a beautiful album (and prints) as this is the one day that you and your partner got all dolled up for a really big event. Invest in each other and make sure you have albums and prints that will stand the test of time.

Can you hold my date?

We require 25% of your wedding package as a retainer for your wedding date.

How long does it take for us to receive our images and how do we receive them?

Your wedding gallery will be in your inbox no later than 10 weeks after your wedding. However, we do send over sneak peek images after your wedding to hold you over until the final reveal!
