I would NEVER use another photographer!

Kaemmerling Photography & Video is by far the best! We wouldn't use or recommend anyone but them. Not only does John and his crew take the most amazing photos, but they make you feel so comfortable. They are extremely creative, fun and patient! We have been hiring Kaemmerling Photography for over 20 years. All their art is shown around our home. So much palent! Thank you, Kaemmerling Photography!

Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra.

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.

Yes, we have a comprehensive package that compliments our photography perfectly.

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 1 week after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a download link as well as images hosted on a purchasing site with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.

You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of shooting. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

In my years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the extremely rare event that I’m unable to shoot your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted associates.

We work for a small amount of people per year, so we are able to focus more on you and your wedding. We can technically do what most wedding "photographers" these days cannot: art, composition, technical skills, lighting, posing and retouching. Not to mention that our finished products are a work of art, rather than just a photo album. We aim to blow you away.

Yes, we specialize in thoughtful, personal and creative sessions that are meant to show the personality and history of your relationship. Not to mention, make you look phenomenal.

The typical wedding with only 1 location and portraits after the ceremony are about 6 hours from getting ready until cake cutting. If you'd like to add other venues, travel time between locations, first look, longer church ceremonies and last dance/grand exit photos, plan on adding roughly an hour per item on the list.

Yes! We give you a longer edit, as well as a social media teaser edit to share! We shoot in the highest quality audio and video and edit seamlessly with photo and vide together to create a visually stunning film.
