FAQS – Southern California Photography – Kristy Berends Photography

Determining the right photographer for your wedding, event, or family photography needs can be a challenging task in today’s industry. Here you will find answers to questions that are important to consider as you seek a photographer.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?

My style is clean, bright, true to life, and timeless. I consider myself a hybrid photographer using both a fine art portraiture style blended with photo journalism. I see the value in both approaches, particularly in wedding photography and lifestyle sessions.

HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU DELIVER?

While I don't have a specified number of images, I deliver between 600-800 for weddings and 30-40 for family sessions. All of these images have been color corrected, edited, and are print ready. I deliver them via an online gallery for viewing and purchasing.

WHAT KIND OF CAMERA DO YOU USE?

I use high quality Canon bodies, the 5D Mark III and the 5D Mark II as my backup. I photograph on the finest quality L series prime lenses. I also have several speedlights for creating off camera lighting as needed/desired.

DO YOU USE A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER OR ASSISTANT?

I often photograph weddings or events with second photographers who are highly trained and excellent photographers in their own right. You have the option to add on a second photographer to any wedding or event package.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER?

I have been a photographer since 2006. I typically photograph between 15-20 weddings a year and approximately 30-40 family or portrait sessions a year. I also do commercial and print magazine work.

DO YOU ACCEPT CREDIT CARD?

I do accept credit card, check, cash, and auto bill pay.
