HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING PHOTOGRAPHY? HOW MANY EVENTS HAVE YOU PHOTOGRAPHED SO FAR?
We have over 14 years of experience as wedding photographers and we photographed over 300 events.
WHAT CITY ARE YOU FROM? DO YOU ALSO PHOTOGRAPH EVENTS IN OTHER CITIES? DO YOU TRAVEL TO OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL?
We are from Bucharest! We travel both in our country as well as abroad. Nothing is more exciting and challenging for us than photographing a wedding in another city or country. These trips will generate extra costs for transportation, accommodation, daily allowance that will be added to the cost of the shooting service itself. If you plan a wedding abroad, send us an email with all the information to get a more detailed answer.
WE LIKE WHAT WE HAVE SEEN AND WE WANT YOU TO BE OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER. WHAT'S NEXT?
Great! If you’ve made up your mind, you will need to check if the date of your event is available. If that is the case, in order to book the date you will have to sign a contract and make an advance payment. The contract gives both sides the guarantee of the seriousness of the collaboration.
WHEN DO WE HAVE TO BOOK OUR DATE?
As soon as possible. We only photograph one event per week on a first-come, first-served basis. Once you've made your decision that one of us is the right photographer for the big day, you'll need to fill in the contact form. After selecting your custom collection, we will send you a contract to sign that has to be followed by an advance payment. After this procedure you can be sure that we will be with you at the most eagerly awaited day of your life.
CAN WE MEET AND DISCUSS IN MORE DETAIL?
Most couples hire us without a face-to-face meeting. I find it more effective to discuss through emails, whatsApp or Skype and we are ready to answer any questions in this way. If, however, you want to meet us in person it may be possible, after a preliminary consultation of the working agenda.
HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE THERE IN YOUR TEAM? WHO WILL PHOTOGRAPH OUR WEDDING?
In ANTOCHI Photography team there are 4 photographers, all of whom are ready to offer the same quality standard. Depending on everyone's schedule, you will know from the very beginning whether Constantin Antochi, Carmen Antochi, Marius Ceausescu or Adrian Mihai Cobzasu will be your photographer.
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I RECEIVE FROM THE WEDDING?
The number of photos taken depends on many things: the number of guests, the hours spent photographing, the type of event. For a standard wedding you will receive around 800 photos, but we usually exceed this number. However, it is more important to have good photos, not many. :)
HOW LONG WILL YOU BE WITH US ON THE WEDDING DAY
We will be with you from the preparations until the last moment of the event, but no later than 4: 30-5:00.
HAVE YOU PHOTOGRAPHED IN OUR LOCATION BEFORE?
I photographed hundreds of locations so there is a good chance. If not, we will definitely deal with it by being prepared and open to any new challenge, even if it's outdoors or indoors.
CAN I SEE AN ENTIRE WEDDING?
Sure you do. We are proud of our entire activity. We understand that all of the wedding photographers put the best shots of each wedding on their website, so it is difficult to know exactly how well will they do on the wedding day. That is why we encourage all our potential customers to take a look at the whole events of the photographers they meet, to be sure that what they see is what they want to receive.
DO YOU EDIT ALL OF THE PHOTOS?
Yes, we edit all the photos. Each image you receive is edited one by one, manually, without automation, actions or plugins on large collections of photos. The photos will have corrections of brightness, contrast, color, white balance, soft skin. Most of the time we will choose a few favorite images and edit them at a more advanced level but without losing the naturalness of the moment.
WHEN DO WE RECEIVE THE PHOTOS? HOW WE WILL RECEIVE THEM? HOW LONG DO YOU KEEP THEM?
Photos will be edited and delivered digitally in a password protected online gallery up to 3 months after the event. The post-production stage is laborious and time consuming with a maximum emphasis on quality. Surely the result will be a satisfying one and it will bring added value to your photos.
Photos will be stored on both local storage media and on a secure cloud platform for at least one year from the event date.
DO WE RECEIVE RAW PHOTOS?
No.
WHAT CAMERA / EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE? DO YOU USE BACKUP EQUIPMENT?
We use Nikon professional photographic equipment, just the top of the range, we have backup devices and we're backing up everything we're shooting. We believe and will always believe that wedding photography is more complete with professional photo equipment. That does not mean that the photo equipment is everything.
WHAT PACKAGES DO YOU HAVE?
We have an à la carte price list with the services we offer. Everyone can create their own collection of services, starting from a basic collection.
We also have 3 collections specifically designed for you. You can request it and we will send you all the necessary information by e-mail.
ARE PRICES NEGOTIABLE? DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS?
Depending on the period of the year, some benefits / discounts can be granted, which will be communicated from the beginning. Other negotiations on the price of the collections will not be possible, first of all because these collections already have a discount applied compared to the list prices in Antochi Photography's offer.
CAN YOU KEEP THE DATE BOOKED FOR ME?
We're sorry. Unfortunately we cannot reserve a date without a signed contract. We want to be fair to everyone and for this reason we cannot keep a date booked without an advance payment and a signed contract for that date.
DO YOU ALSO OFFER VIDEO SERVICES?
We only offer shooting services, but we will be more than interested in providing you with free advice and suggest some options that meet the required quality standards or budget, only after our collaboration has been agreed.
IS IT MANDATORY TO TAKE THE PHOTO ALBUM FROM YOU?
It is not mandatory, but it is recommended. As we have already said, the wedding album is the ultimate result of our effort. It is the wedding day documented by pictures to tell the story of your wedding. We are convinced that our albums will exceed your expectations.
HOW CAN WE CHOOSE THE PHOTOS FOR THE ALBUM?
After we finish editing the photos, we will make an album design with absolutely all the important moments of the wedding day, then you will choose which moments you like more and only those will be on the wedding album.
You can also choose a selection of photos made by you, and we will do the album design with those photos. We recommend the first option that we consider way more comfortable for you.
DO YOU ALSO MAKE TRASH THE DRESS PHOTO SESSIONS?
We strongly recommend Trash the Dress, Love the Dress, next day shooting or the photo session after the wedding!!! Especially for those couples who, for organizational reasons, do not find the time needed for a photo session on the wedding day and for those who really want some impact images for their album.
The main advantages of a photo session after the event are: 1. There is no time limit - meaning that during the wedding day the location is limited and we cannot move to more remote locations.
2. There is no space limit - on the wedding day we can only go nearby. On another day we can go to the mountains, to the sea, to another city or country for a set of memorable pictures only with you two.
3. The couple is more relaxed than on the wedding day, an important thing that puts its mark differently on the outcome of such a choice.
HOW LONG DOES A PHOTO SESSION TAKE?
On the wedding day - it lasts as long as you want it to last, or more specifically, as time allows. Ideally it would be 1 hour and a half. At the engagement photo or after the wedding, the duration would be an average of 2-4 hours.
DO YOU ONLY MAKE WEDDING PHOTOS?
We photograph weddings, baptisms, corporate events, portrait sessions, fashion photo sessions, maternity and more.
