| Q: |
How long have you been in business? |
| A: |
Over 17 years. |
|
| Q: |
Are there two photographers capturing the wedding? |
| A: |
Yes! Myself, Karen Mason-Blair, and my assistant, Anne. I have been a photographer for more than 17 years (see my celebrity photography site www.karenmasonblair.com). My assistant, Anne, is also a photographer with a style very similar to mine, and her photos are blended into some of the galleries. We are both very experienced and work in harmony together like a winning team! |
|
| Q: |
Do you do Black and White? |
| A: |
Yes, I still actually shoot Black and White film and then scan it, so we can have it digitized. I love the look and texture B&W film gives on skin tones, and I use a red filter which takes off any imperfection and leaves your skin looking creamy! Beautiful! Of course, any digital file from the digital camera can be converted to B&W or Sepia as well.

| Q: |
I noticed your style is different from most wedding photographers. Why is that? |
| A: |
Since my background is from the celebrity and media arena, my style and alternative look is cutting edge and offers a more unique approach to capturing my clients' weddings. My drive to achieve a higher standard and my almost two decades of expertise is what separates me from other photographers. I give my brides and grooms the same level of care and professionalism as I do my celebrity and rock star clients! I am also signed to Corbis (a stock photo agency) for worldwide representation. I do occasionally get model releases from my clients to submit to Corbis. |
|
| Q: |
Can I keep my Wedding photo files? |
| A: |
Yes! Wedding Photo files on CD can be purchased for $300. It is an add-on option in every package. |
|
| Q: |
Do you charge for travel? |
| A: |
Locations within the greater Puget Sound Region are included in my pricing. There is a $50.00 charge for travel outside of the greater Puget Sound Region/Seattle-area. |
|
| Q: |
Do you have a wedding album service? |
| A: |
Yes! After many inquiries regarding the albums I use and recommend, I am now offering several wedding album services, including reprints and enlargements of your favorite wedding pictures, KMB Photography's high quality library-bound renaissance albums filled with inserts in various sizes and styles, and KMB's expertise in album design and assembly. The online gallery is easy to use and efficient. |
|
| Q: |
Can we view the photos over the internet? |
| A: |
Yes, you can. For every wedding, I post an online wedding gallery on www.weddingprints.com. The images stay there for 6 months. You just type in the name of the bride and groom, and the wedding gallery loads for viewing and ordering.

|
| Q: |
What is the next step? |
| A: |
Please call me and set up a bridal consultation! A bridal consultation is simply to determine my availability, and how KMB Photography can best meet your needs. If you decide to have your wedding photographed by me, a deposit of $500 is required to hold your date and time. KMB will also provide you with a contract and questionnaire regarding information pertinent to your wedding. The final balance is due 10 days before the wedding date. If you have any other questions, call me at 206.340.0644. I can also be reached by email at karen@kmbphotography.com. |
