FAQ

I am based out of Grapeland, Texas. A majority of my sessions are in Tyler, Palestine, Athens, and Longview. I LOVE to travel. I apply a standard 75 cents per mile for travel farther than 30 miles. For example, 75 miles of travel would cost $56.25 to be added to final charge.

For a typical session, you will get a digital gallery released to you within 2 weeks of your session. I typically post on social media a "sneak peak" within the first week. For large events, your session will be sent to you within 3-4 weeks.

You don't need to! I include every picture that meets my criteria for editing. I provide at LEAST the minimal amount of pictures, but usually you get more!

Raw images are images that have not been edited by the photographer. I do not give out raw images to my clients. I provide edited images according to my style and client's input in order to give the best quality!

I like to meet the couple in person over coffee or through zoom to answer any questions and capture the vision of your wedding day. From that meeting, I will create what is called a "shot list" for you to review, add to, and change. I will research the venue in advance, visit if I have the opportunity, and show up to your big day with a back-up camera, energy, and easy-going but professional nature. I also have a second-shooter option to be added to my wedding packages!

Whatever you want that makes you feel comfortable and beautiful! Do keep in mind that multiple patterns and loud colors can sometimes clash. As a photographer, I sometimes ask what wardrobe/colors are planned in order to best pick out locations.

I am a "soft" editor. I remove temporary blemishes, bruises, and scrapes. Lipstick on your teeth or mascara run? I will edit that out. Unwanted objects in the background? Gone. I whiten teeth and brighten eyes but I do not edit out the things that are permanent about you.

Yes! We can reschedule your booking according to my availability with at least a 48 hr heads up. Second rescheduling will require a new retainer fee. With that in mind, I understand that sometimes emergencies happen and there are exceptions that can be made. I will always respect your time.

A retainer fee is the upfront cost to hold the date and time of your session. Dorsey Photography requires a 50 percent retainer fee to book your session. This amount will be taken off of final cost of your session due day of shoot.

A retainer fee to book a session is non-refundable. Missing your appointment or failure to give noice to reschedule within 48 hours will result in forfeiture of your retainer fee, requiring a new retainer for rebooking.
