Frequently Asked Questions

Will you travel? - Yes

I am accustomed to traveling throughout the Bay Area and the greater Sacramento area on photo assignments on a weekly basis while carting along the proper lighting equipment necessary, my  SUV is my rolling studio.  I also fly domestically with my camera and lighting equipment while on assignment for the NBA.  I am very comfortable traveling to destination weddings.  We do not charge a travel fee for weddings within the above locations.

Do you shoot video? - Yes! We do both “Hybrid” and dedicated video

“Hybrid Video: This is a nice 4K highlight video that is 2 1/2 to 4 minutes long. We do not guarantee we will capture the most important moments on video, because we are capturing your still pictures of said moments while simultaneously recording video. Hybrid Video Example. Dedicated Video: Is for couples who want a team of a photographer and cinematographer and their assistants (4 to 6) to cover their wedding and have both roles separated, this ensures a complete video story. You will receive both a highlight and full length film. This package also has the ability to add a drone to your video package.

How many photos should we expect? - Depends on how many hours & photographers you select. 

Our couples on average reserve us for seven+ hours and in that amount of time you can expect between 600 to 800 images between myself and my assistant photographer.

Do you retouch the photos? - Yes

Every single one, one at a time.  We make sure every image captured looks it's best, we retouch for proper exposure and white balance so your entire collection of images are truly custom.  We spend approximately 15 to 20 hours retouching your images during a 7 hour wedding.  We also offer composite photo enhancement. 

Do you deliver images quickly? - Yes 

Our delivery method and image retouching workflow allows us to send your gallery approximately one month ahead of the national average, roughly 6 weeks and depending on the time of year we can turn around your wedding photos faster.  Also, we create custom wedding books using state of the art software allowing for an easy and enjoyable book layout revision process.     

Do you visit the ceremony venue before the wedding? - Yes

We will supply you with a detailed wedding day timeline "Shot List" upon reserving Jack Arent Photography. If we haven't been to your ceremony venue before we will be sure to visit it, in some occasions we will visit the morning of the wedding as we can evaluate any venue quickly.  We ask that you complete and return the supplied timeline "Shot List" a minimum of one month before your wedding. (email us for a complimentary shot list timeline)

Do you offer a contract? - Yes

We supply a wedding agreement contract so both parties understand what's expected, we carry $1,000,000 in liability insurance as well. In addition to your agreement we also supply you with a questioner and literature in several emails which will help guide your wedding planning process.
