Wedding photos are delivered within two weeks, often faster during off-peak seasons. Commercial projects typically take 3-5 business days, depending on editing requirements.
What areas do you serve?
We primarily serve Maryland, Washington D.C., and Virginia. Travel to other locations can be arranged with advance planning and potential additional fees.
Can you photograph small products like jewelry?
Yes, specialized product photography techniques ensure every detail is captured. We use advanced focus-stacking methods to highlight intricate features that standard photography might miss.
