Frequently Asked Questions

Q- How do I book a photo-shoot?

Inquire using images@mattbeckmann.com or use the contact link on the left. Let me know the occasion, desired time, and date and I'll get back to you in a timely manner to chat about an awesome shoot!

Q- What are your rates?

I want to ensure you are able to capture the timeline of your family; send an email to images@mattbeckmann.com for rate information.

 Q- Do you shoot on location or studio?

I shoot almost entirely on location, but can arrange studio time if needed. I prefer on location work for the variety it allows.

Q- How long will the session take?

Typical family/portrait sessions are one hour long, but larger groups often require more time. Weddings have a loose limit of time on them, but I want to capture your whole day, so I am committed to staying as long as needed to tell the story.

Q- Is a deposit required?

All portrait/family sessions require a 25% deposit. Weddings require a $500 deposit. Placing a deposit is the only method available to secure your desired date and time.

Q- Are digital images included?

Yes, I include digital images with all my packages and a release allowing you to print them up to a 11x14 size.

Q- How will I receive my images?

I use PASS for client galleries. You will receive an email invitation to your gallery where you can browse, create a favorites gallery, share images on social media, order prints, and products. Each gallery has a link that allows you to download a .zip file of your images to your personal computer.

Q- How long until I receive my images?

For portrait/family sessions, I aim for no more than two weeks from the date of the shoot. For weddings range from four to six weeks.

Q- Do you offer retouching services and how much?

All images are edited for color, artistic look and minor cosmetic corrections. More extensive retouching is available at an additional cost of $20/image.

Q- Do you travel?

Absolutely! I love to travel and usually will give a discount for these shoots; the client covers travel and accommodation costs.
