frequently asked questions

How do you prepare for a shoot?

The level of preparation involved varies between our different winery photography services. From tidy surfaces, polished products, sparkling glassware and well swept surroundings, we request pre-preparation from your end to ensure all areas and assets are photo ready.

Lifestyle Light:

Our Lifestyle Light photoshoot is intentionally improvised. This 2-hour onsite shoot is intended to capture an authentic and candid account of your wine business. Our photographer will provide minimal onsite setup and styling. We ask that you provide a detailed outline of scope and creative direction at least 5 days prior to day of shooting.

Half & Full Day Shoot:

Our Half and Full Day shoots provide extra time to get down and dirty with a pre-defined hit list of shots. When planning a full day shoot, we schedule time for a virtual kickoff call. There’ll be coffee, conversation and lots of collaboration.

What is your photography style?

Our in-house photographer has a great deal of experience photographing a wide variety of subjects including consumer-packaged goods, portraiture, food, hospitality, wine bottle photography, products and fashion.

Our approach to photography for wineries is all about capturing candid authenticity. When shooting on location, we can bring artificial lighting to help set the scene but generally prefer shooting with natural daylight for a soft and approachable aesthetic to your images.

What is your turn around time?

We strive to deliver the quickest possible turn around. This is typically 5-7 business days. This can vary based on the complexity of your wine photography project.

Note: For Bottle Photography services we conduct our wine bottle photography once per calendar month on the last Tuesday of each month. This is due to the complex setup involved in our professional studio.

Do you provide partial day services?

Yes, we offer our clients 3 different service packages. These include our lifestyle light shoots which are allocated 2 hours on location photography as well as our half and full day projects.

You can read more about our photographic services for wineries in our photo services blog.

Do you travel for photo shoots?

Yes. Our wine photography packages typically include 30 minutes travel. Photography location must be determined ahead of time and any further travel time can be itemized at an additional cost. Please get in touch to discuss your upcoming project.

How do you deliver my finished photos?

We send your photos digitally via a shared folder so you can easily access and use them for your marketing needs.
