Questions

Asked frequently,
answered candidly

Is this a real thing people do?

Increasingly. The wedding got two photographers, a second shooter, and a drone. Many clients feel the divorce, statistically the longer commitment to follow through, deserves at least one professional.

Do both of us have to agree to the shoot?

No. Single-party commissions are common and confidential. That said, jointly commissioned sessions receive a 10% cooperation discount, and the albums come out warmer. Make of that what you will.

What should we wear?

Whatever you would wear to win. We advise against matching, for the first time in your photographic history. A style guide ships with every booking confirmation.

Will you photograph the argument?

No. We photograph proceedings, portraits, and effects. If a disagreement occurs during the session we reposition to capture the light on the courthouse facade, which is lovely and neutral.

Can you make my former spouse look worse than me?

We photograph everyone in their best light. We simply schedule whose best light comes first based on who booked.

What if we reconcile before the session?

It has happened twice. The retainer converts to a vow renewal credit, and we frankly take some pride in the record staying low.

Do you shoot annulments? Custody exchanges? The sale of the house?

Annulments yes, with a shorter timeline and a thinner album. Custody exchanges no. House sales are referred to our colleagues in architectural photography, who are gentler than we are about empty rooms.

Who gets the photos?

Both of you, always, identically. Every deliverable is printed in duplicate and shipped simultaneously to two addresses. It is the only part of the process guaranteed to be equal.
