How far in advance should I book my event photographer?

We recommend booking as soon as your event date and location are confirmed. Availability can vary throughout the year, particularly during busy seasons and around holidays. While we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, reserving your date in advance is always encouraged.

Do you travel outside of Richmond, Virginia?

Absolutely! Carbone Photo Co. is based in the Richmond, Virginia area and serves surrounding cities, counties, and destinations throughout Virginia and beyond. Travel arrangements and any applicable travel fees will be discussed during the booking process.

Can I request multiple photographers for my event?

Yes! Additional photographers are available as an add-on to your event photography package. Having multiple photographers allows us to capture different perspectives, simultaneous activities, and more guest interactions. This is especially beneficial for larger events, conferences, and events with multiple locations or activities happening at once.

How many photos will I receive?

The number of delivered images varies depending on the length of coverage, number of guests, event activities, and overall scope of your event. We focus on delivering a thoughtfully curated collection of professionally edited images that captures the highlights, atmosphere, and important moments of your event rather than promising an arbitrary number of photographs.

Can I use the images for commercial purposes?

Yes! We offer commercial usage options for businesses, organizations, and corporate clients. Delivered images may be used for agreed-upon purposes such as company websites, social media, internal communications, and marketing materials, subject to the usage rights outlined in your service agreement. Additional licensing may be required for certain advertising, publication, or third-party uses.

Do you offer same-day image delivery?

Yes! We understand that some events require immediate content for social media, marketing, and promotional purposes. We offer same-day preview image packages featuring a curated selection of professionally edited photographs. Expedited full-gallery delivery is also available through our 24-hour and 48-hour delivery options.

Can you accommodate multi-day events or conferences?

Absolutely! We offer customized photography coverage for multi-day conferences, conventions, corporate retreats, and other extended events. Whether you need coverage for a few hours each day or comprehensive photography throughout an entire conference, we can put together a custom proposal based on your schedule and photography needs.

How will I receive my photographs?

Your completed photographs will be delivered through a private online gallery. From there, you can view, download, and share your images with colleagues, guests, employees, or other event participants. Your gallery will remain available for 14 days following delivery.

How long does it take to receive my final gallery?

Our standard gallery delivery timeframe is 7–14 business days following your event. If you need your photographs sooner, expedited delivery options are available for an additional fee.

What happens if my event runs longer than expected?

We understand that events don't always go exactly according to schedule! Additional photography coverage can be arranged when needed, subject to photographer availability. Additional time is billed at our standard hourly rate, with overtime charged in 1-hour increments.

How do I officially reserve my event date?

Once we've discussed your event details, we'll prepare a customized proposal outlining your photography coverage, selected services, and pricing. Your date is officially reserved once your service agreement has been signed and your 50% non-refundable booking retainer has been received. The remaining balance is due seven days before your event.

Do you provide unedited or RAW photographs?

No. All delivered photographs are carefully selected and professionally edited to maintain the consistent quality and style of Carbone Photo Co. We do not provide RAW or unedited image files.

Can I provide a shot list or request specific photographs?

Absolutely! We encourage clients to share any specific photography requests, must-have moments, VIP guests, company executives, sponsors, branded details, or important event activities ahead of time. Before your event, we'll review your photography priorities and work with you to create a shot list that helps ensure the most important moments and details are captured. While we cannot guarantee every requested photograph, having a clear understanding of your priorities allows us to plan accordingly and make the most of your coverage.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

Every event is different, and we're happy to work with you to create a photography experience that fits your needs. Reach out and tell us about your event. We'd love to hear what you're planning!
