FAQ
Do you shoot destination weddings?
A.Yes. I have captured weddings locally, but also in various other U.S. states. I do not travel outside of the United States currently. If it is within the United States, I'm all about it!
Will there be a second shooter?
A.No, not unless there is a special situation or circumstance. I am very passionate about my artwork whether it is a portrait session, a wedding, or I'm creating Fine Art Prints on black and white film with my medium format film cameras. It's not MY eye, my art, my creation if there is a second shooter with me on a job. When you hire Jared Hughes, Jared Hughes is what you will get!
Can I extend the session on the day of?
A.I have a very limited number of sessions because I only schedule one session per day. So yes! If you would like to extend your session on the day of our shoot, you can. You are my only focus and client for the day!
What kind of equipment do you use?
A.For digital, I choose to shoot with a high end, medium format digital camera body. This means, my digital sensor is LARGE, capturing more quality detail than most photographers. You'll find that most photographers shoot with a 20-30 megapixel full-frame sensor, which is MUCH smaller than mine, and can't compete with my image quality!
But it's my use of light, natural and with off camera strobe lights, which sets my portraits apart. It's really not about the equipment.
For fine art film sessions, I shoot with 3 premium medium-format film cameras. One is a 6x4.5, other is a 6x6, and then a 6x7 cm negative. Excellent, classic quality that can't be beat. My medium format film cameras include: Hasselblad 500CM, Mamiya RZ67 Pro, and a Pentax 645 NII.
What do we have to do to book a session? Is there a deposit? When do we pay for the session?
A.To reserve your date on the calendar, the non-refundable session fee is due upon booking. We can accept PayPal as well as most major credit cards for your convenience.
How long after the session is over will the our portraits be ready to view online?
A.For a standard portrait session, up to 1 week for your proof gallery to be ready. Once your proof gallery is ready, it will be hosted for 7 days so that you may order your prints and enlargements. For Weddings, please allow up to 4 or 5 weeks for completion after your special day. Clients will receive a custom, wooden Keepsake box with 4x5 proof prints that are theirs to keep, and image numbers are printed on the back of each print for the purpose of identification when ordering their enlargements.
How long will we have access to our gallery to order prints after they are uploaded?
A.Once your gallery is complete, I will send email invitations to all of the email addresses you provide me with so that all of your family and friends may have the option to view and purchase any portraits they may wish to own. From that time, your private gallery will remain active for two weeks in order for you to be able to complete your portrait orders.
