Ask The Expert Photography Ms. Choosy: Do we have the privilege of choosing our own preferred photographer? Photography Expert Eros Xerxes L. Astillero of Eros Portrait: Well,it depends on the studio you're booking. Some studios outsource their photographers, so you really can't choose and have to make do with whom they provide you with. On the other hand, some studios, like us, have their own in-house photographers that ensure consistency in all their works. Ms. To-the-last-centavo: How can we make sure that we can really get what we paid for? 
Photography Expert Eros Xerxes L. Astillero of Eros Portrait: You have to look at the track record of your supplier, his over-all integrity and credibility. Does he have the right credentials to back up all of his offerings? you should also make sure that everything is in "Black & White" Your transactions should all be in paper,-- a written, secured and carefully studied contract would always be the best way to go. We have been covering weddings since 1987. Aside from having our own team of professional photographers and videographers, we also have the right equipment and resources to comply with all our clients' needs as well as to see to it that all of our promises are met. Our clients are also granted complete access to our production staff during post production, ensuring that every query would be answered concisely and immediately. 
Ms. Time-is-Gold: What time should we expect our team of photographers and videographers to arrive? Photography Expert Eros Xerxes L. Astillero of Eros Portrait: The arrival of your team of photographers should at least be 3 hours before the actual church ceremony since the coverage includes the documentation of the bride & groom's preparation. In our case, we arrive 4 hours before the actual ceremony, providing a great leeway for sudden changes and to ensure that every quintessential need for the photo shoot is prepared. Ms. Ina Hurry: We have just chosen the shots for our album, we are sending it to you by e-mail. Can we get the album tomorrow? Photography Expert Eros Xerxes L. Astillero of Eros Portrait: If your availed album is of the best quality , it is impossible. Top of the line albums take time to produce, especially the lay out designing process, which in our case, is done intricately. Quality work of art takes time. We are always able to complete the album layout design in less than a month. The client then gets to approve the design before printing and binding. Ms. OC: What is it that makes you different from other suppliers? Photography Expert Eros Xerxes L. Astillero of Eros Portrait: Ours is a family business. Only I and my sons do the task of professional photography. We have developed our own style, approach, technique and discipline as far as weddings and other events are concerned. We also establish good rapport and, in some cases, friendly relationships with our clients, making it so much easier for us to work hand in hand with them to come up with the best final products.
