Why should I use Umberto Esposito Photography to photograph my wedding? Wedding Photography is Umberto full-time career and passion. He has the experience, professionalism and track record to give you the confidence that your wedding images will be as beautiful as you are. Umberto takes every precaution to make sure he captures the images you deserve and ensures they are secure. In fact, after each shoot, Umberto makes two back-up copies to safeguard against any unfortunate event. Additionally, Umberto is fully insured. (This is very important, be sure to ask other photographers if they are insured.)

This type of skill and knowledge only comes from experience. With the influx of digital technology, it seems that anyone with a camera and website can call themselves a wedding photographer. Are you going to trust just anyone to capture the story of one of the most important days of your life? If the photographer isn’t as qualified as he/she advertises, or if his equipment fails, then this day can not be repeated for re-takes.

Why are your wedding & family packages so reasonable?
The simple answer is that I have lower overhead than most. I work “in the field” and out of my owe Studio, so I don’t incur high commercial rent costs. Don’t mistake higher prices with higher quality -- peruse my galleries, read the testimonials, and speak to my clients, you will see that Umberto Esposito Photography produces some of the finest photography in New Jersey! Should I base my choice of photographers on price alone?

What other factors should I consider? Even though Umberto Esposito Photography offers very competitive pricing, you should not base your decision solely on cost. The most important question is "Who can you trust to preserve the most important day of your life?" Cake will be eaten, flowers will wilt, and tuxes returned, but your photos should last a lifetime. It is important that you hire someone who understand this. After you have looked through my galleries and read the testimonials, give me a call.

What style of photography do you employ? The simple answer is that we can adapt to meet your needs. If you view our photo galleries you will see a mix of photojournalistic and traditional styles. We feel this is truly the best option to capture your wedding day story.

Do you use digital equipment? Absolutely! We made the decision to go 100% digital over five years ago and haven’t looked back. Since we use an end-to-end digital process to capture, process, and develop your portraits, we are able to keep our prices low. The quality of digital photography has caught up, and in some cases surpassed, traditional analog film photography.

How many images will you take? The simple answer is a lot. My goal is to take enough images to capture the story of your wedding and not a set number of photos. I do not charge by the roll or image. I shoot everything you want, everything I should and everything I see.

What are your terms? Terms are pretty industry standard. I ask for 1/3 total cost down to hold your date , 1/2 of the balance week prior to the event and balance on delivery of proofs.

Do you bring an assistant? Yes, some of the time. He provides a “second eye” to record moments from other angles and to capture those candid moments. We will be opaque as reasonably possible while still doing our work. Having two people is another way of insuring your perfect wedding memories.

Are you insured? That’s a great question, and YES I am fully insured. If you desire, I can show you my policy during our consultation.

How soon after my wedding will the images be ready? Usually, your proofs will be online in 3 – 4 weeks. I can give you the web address prior to your wedding so that you can print it on your wedding program to share your photos with your attendees.

Is photography really that important? The cake is eaten and flowers have wilted. All you have are your memories. My style of wedding photography records the large things and the small things as well. Typically I will include the DJ's, the caterer, the bartender and all participants. Besides people, I shoot the table decorations, pew bows and even down to the cake knives and napkins. I take many images.

Do you print your own photos? This is VERY important! We do not print our own photos. Even though we use a completely digital process to capture and prepare your photos, the prints are still developed in a professional photo lab using chemical processing on equipment that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This truly gives us the best of both worlds and gives you photos to last a lifetime. Digitally printed photos may look “OK” for a year or two, but typically don’t have the same quality, color depth, or longevity.
