FAQ

What is the turnaround time for our gallery?

Preview images often arrive within one to two weeks. Full galleries usually deliver in 2 days to 4 weeks, busy seasons may take a bit longer.

Do packages include prints or albums?

Some include a basic album credit or a set of prints. Many offer albums and wall art as add-ons. Ask about paper types, cover materials, and design rounds.

FAQ

Are travel fees added for Cartagena weddings?

My rates include travel to Cartagena; trips and transfers outside Cartagena have an additional fee.

Do we need permits for photos in the Old City or at forts?

Some historic sites and private venues require permits or coordination with staff. Streets inside the walled city are public, but crowded. Your planner or photographer can advise and arrange permissions when needed.

FAQ

Can you help plan the photo timeline around Cartagena’s light and heat?

Yes. Golden hour near sunset works best, the midday sun is harsh and hot. Plan couple portraits early morning or late afternoon, build in cooling breaks, and account for traffic inside the Old City.

Is drone photography allowed in Cartagena?

Drone use is regulated in Colombia. Some venues ban drones, and certain areas require authorization. Check rules in advance, and confirm the pilot is licensed and insured.
