how long has ash been a
wedding photographer?
Ash photographed her first wedding in 2010 and never looked back. Weddings are our passion and we switched to exclusively photographing weddings and wedding related events in 2016.
does Ash simmons photography carry liability insurance?
Yes, we carry a full service liability policy. If your planner or venue needs a copy, just ask.
do you offer a second photographer?
All of our collections include a second photographer. We enlist a small group of talented full-time photographers that we use as second shooters as needed.
DO YOU TRAVEL?
Yes! When you fill out our contact form, all pricing will include any travel fees. There will not be an additional charge.
how many images will we recieve?
On average we capture 50-75 images per hour. All of your images are delivered, minus duplicates, blinks, test shots, etc. Our clients appreciate how quick and easy their online gallery is and the seamless ability to print, share and download their images as much as they want.
how many hours of coverage do we need?
Usually if you’re having your ceremony and reception in one location with a 20-30 minute ceremony, then 8 hours is the perfect amount. If you are having a longer ceremony or you have multiple locations that require travel, usually 10 hours will be needed. You are always welcome to add additional coverage as we get closer to the big day and your planner has a better sense of the final timeline.
How are images backed up?
We take data protection very seriously, as these photos are heirlooms. Because of this, we use a variety of backup processes to keep images safe, including using equipment that records to two memory cards simultaneously, keeping memory cards until photos are delivered and having the digital files backed up on cloud storage.
do we own the copyright to our images?
Ash Simmons Photography retains the copyright in order to ensure the editing quality is maintained, but our couples have full rights to print their photos at their discretion.
do you require a date retainer?
When ready you can reserve your date by signing your contract and paying your retainer of $1,500. Once paid, the retainer amount is credited against your final balance.
