What makes CJP very different

18 May

I do things a bit differently than many traditional wedding and event photographers. My goal is to make your entire experience completely stress-free, transparent, and tailored to exactly what you need.

Here is what sets my service apart:

1. Industry-Leading Flexibility & Full Refunds

6-Hour Cancellation Window: I know plans can change unexpectedly. That’s why my booking agreement is fully flexible. You can postpone or even cancel your booking up to six hours before the wedding starts and receive a full refund, no rigid deposit traps here.

Free Weather Raincheck: If the weather forces us to change plans on the day, I offer a free raincheck to shoot your creative portrait session on a separate day at no extra cost to you.

2. No Gatekeeping : RAW Files Available

While the vast majority of professional photographers strictly withhold their unedited raw digital files, I believe they belong to you if you want them. I explicitly offer an optional RAW files package so you can keep the uncompressed digital negatives for your own personal archiving or editing. And it’s reasonably priced at just $300 flat rate (regardless of the number of photos).

3. Absolute Continuity (You Get Me, Always)

I never outsource my work to "associate photographers." When you book Chris Jack Photography, you deal exclusively with me from the initial planning stages to the day of the shoot, right through to the final edit.

4. Rapid Turnaround Times

Next-Day Sneak Peeks: You shouldn't have to wait weeks to share your memories. I individually edit and deliver 15 "sneak peek" photos by the very next morning following your wedding.

30-Day Full Delivery: I deliver your entire maximum-resolution gallery within 30 days, getting your final images back to you significantly faster than the industry average.

5. Transparent Deliverables & No Upselling

I don't hide your best photos behind a paywall to upsell you later. I edit and deliver every single viable image, averaging roughly 65+ photos per hour of coverage (around 600+ photos for an 8-hour wedding). All files are provided at maximum resolution without watermarks, alongside two years of complimentary online gallery hosting.

I don’t try to upsell anything, every clients gets the same top service and inclusions from a registry wedding to a full day epic celebration. I don’t push albums or print products on clients, but they are available on request only.

6. Meticulous Preparation & Backup Systems

Location Scouting: I never wing it. Before your wedding day (or before the coverage starts) I personally visit the venues to scout the best backdrops and lighting environments if they are new to me, ensuring our time together on the day is seamless and efficient.

Rock-Solid Reliability: Your photos are safe with me. I shoot using dual memory cards simultaneously for instant backups, carry extensive backup gear, and maintain a flawless on-time record across more than 950+ weddings and events since going full-time in 2015.

7. NO ANNOYING ‘FOLLOW UPS’. Who has the time?

Honestly, I am too busy shooting and editing to follow up enquiries. When you enquire about a wedding or event date with me, I reply quickly and invite you to book a chat. There are no follow up phone calls or emails sent.

Even if you include your phone number when enquiring, I won’t call it unless you request this specifically. I respect your privacy and treat my clients the way I would want to be treated.
