FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR WEDDING PHOTOS?
You can expect your full wedding gallery within 6–9 weeks. I’ll also share a sneak peek on social media during the first week after your wedding so you can start reliving those moments right away.
WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
My style is natural, joyful, and focused on real moments. I’ll guide you when you need it, but I’m not about stiff posing—I want your photos to feel like you.
WE'RE NERVOUS IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA-WILL YOU GUIDE US?
100%. This is one of the biggest things my couples worry about. I’ll guide you in a way that feels natural and comfortable so you can relax and just be yourselves.
WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BOOK OUR WEDDING DATE?
To officially reserve your date, a signed contract and a $1,000 retainer are required. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your wedding day. This ensures your date is secured and allows me to fully dedicate that time to you.
DO ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS COME WITH WEDDING PACKAGES
Yes! Engagement sessions are included in most wedding collections and are a great way for us to connect before your wedding day.
If you feel like you don’t need an engagement session, you can apply that time toward your wedding day coverage instead—giving you an extra hour on your wedding day.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?
Most couples book 12–18 months in advance, especially for spring and fall weddings in Northern Virginia. For family and lifestyle sessions, a few weeks’ notice is ideal—but if my schedule allows, I’m always happy to accommodate last-minute sessions.
Working with Zaida Gonzalez was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to her craft make her standout choice in the world of photography. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking extraordinary photographs and an unforgettable experience. When we received the final photos, we were blown away by the level of craftsmanship and artistry. Each image was a work of art, evoking the joy and tenderness we experienced during those precious moments. Zaida managed to encapsulate the emotions and create timeless memories that we will cherish forever.
