FAQs
Do you photograph anything else besides couples?
In addition to capturing romantic moments, I also photograph a diverse range of portraits, including lifestyle, traditional, head-shots, cosplay, and boudoir. Those interested in viewing my broader portfolio can explore my work at Dgonzophoto.com
What does Retainer Fee mean?
A retainer fee is a proactive measure designed to secure your appointment and protect both your interests and mine.
When you pay a retainer fee, you are essentially reserving a specific time slot for your service. This fee is non-refundable. The reason for this is straightforward: once I allocate that time to you, it prevents me from accepting other clients who may seek my services at the same time. This ensures that you have my full attention during your scheduled appointment.
Is the Romantic Journey only $40?
Yes and no. The initial $40 serves as a Retainer Fee to secure your spot for a photo session where I will capture beautiful images of you and your partner. After your session, you can expect to receive a link within a week to view your personalized online gallery.
In this gallery, you can browse through the images and each photo is available for purchase at $10 for social media resolution and $15 for high resolution.
Why is the cost of High Resolution so expensive?
This might initially seem a bit high, it's important to consider the value you are receiving. All images are not only professionally edited but are also provided in high resolution, ensuring that if you decide to print them in the future, the quality will be impeccable.
How can I show proof I was in the military or First Responder?
Most people have a badge with their name on it or photo on it. That will be proof enough. For a lot of veterans, even a VA card will be fine.
Are all your packages the same as to pay per photo?
Actually no. The Romantic Journey package is designed for couples who want to be budget-conscious while still capturing their precious moments. This option allows you to purchase as little as 1 photo, making it a flexible choice
For couples with a specific vision in mind, my premium packages offer even more value. These options come with a generous number of photos which are all High Resolution and additional perks, ensuring that you receive exactly what you're looking for. Whether it's a complete experience or just a few cherished snapshots, I've got something for everyone.
For the Double Date, if I make my payment and the other couple doesn’t make theirs. What happens?
I will contact you explaining the other couple hasn’t made payment in order for you to have a chance to talk with them. If they are unable, you will have 2 options. You can choose to either go with the Romantic Journey Package. Which since you already paid $150, you will automatically receive 10 High-Res photos. OR Choose the Lover’s Keepsake and pay the remainder of $150 but you will receive everything within the Lover’s Keepsake Package. At the discounted rate, if you had paid in full.
If I can’t make my session due to unforeseen circumstance. Can I get a refund?
I know life sometimes makes us take unwanted turns. If something happens, please notify me asap so we can discuss your options. Every couples situation would be different and I don’t believe in a one size fits all so please contact me. For the most part, I will try to reschedule you for a time that better suits you. Once we reschedule and if you are still unable to attend that date, the retainer fee mention in each package is as followed.
A Romantic Journey - $40 Retainer Fee
Lover’s Keepsake - $100 Retainer Fee
Double Date - $100 Retainer Fee
Proposal/Elopement - $150 Retainer Fee
At which point you will receive the remainder after the Retainer Fee as a refund.
