About
Hey! Just wanted to say thanks for stopping by! We LOVE shooting weddings for the Prettiest Brides (and Grooms!) in the Midwest. Shaina Pearce Photography consists of a husband/wife team who shoot events together. We mix modern with vintage and add a little glam. We both hail from Kansas (Shaina roots for KSU, Chad roots for KU) but we live in Iowa (Go Hawkeyes!). We are available for events in both states, or anywhere in between. So have a look around, and visit our website and blog. (shainapearcephotography.com + shainapearce.blogspot.com) Best of luck with your upcoming marriage!! Shaina

Frequently Asked Questions for Photography
Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
The ability to see 'the love' and then hand you a picture of it.
 
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
Lots - I prefer natural lighting ad will go out of my way to find it.
 
Is your media preference film or digital?
Digital
 
How many photographers do you work with?
I shoot weddings with a second shooter, who also happens to be my sweet Hubby!
 
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Absolutely
 
Do you sometimes book yourself for more than one event in a day? Weekend?
No, and I wouldn't want two in one day. (I'm exhausted after one!!) I might consider two in one weekend, but it would have to be extenuating circumstances.
 
Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
This would be something that would depend on the situation, and the location of the wedding. Only in the case of unforeseen illness or death, would this be necessary.
 
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
I find a camera to be the most effective... :-) Nothing huge and cumbersome.
 
Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Yes, we do.
 
Do you charge hourly or full day?
Full day - It ensures you have a complete album, that documents this MOST important day.
 
What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
A few - I don't smoke, so there's no smoke breaks. Maybe 'powder my nose' once or twice.
 
Do you charge for travel?
Gas is $4.00/gallon. So, yes.
 
How soon after the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
3-4 weeks. If it gets done sooner you will be notified immediately.
 
In what format are the initial proofs offered?
Online gallery. Proof books are available for a fee.
 
How long can the client keep the proofs?
They will be online for 6 months - If you buy the book it's yours!
 
Do you retain the copyright for the photos?
Absolutely.
 
Do you reserve the right to publish the photos?
Yes.
 
Do you provide the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the negatives) to the client?
Only if they choose a package that includes them.
 
Will images be available for viewing online?
Yes.
 
What kind of albums do you offer?
KISS Wedding Books. Google them. They rock.
 
When will the client get the final album?
Somewhere between 2-6 months after the wedding. We will start working on it within 3 weeks of the event, and will have you proof it before it is ordered.
