Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do you have TIME LIMITS?: On our Special Day packages with complete wedding coverage, we can be at the wedding until the Bride & Groom leave the reception if desired. (We do not have time limits on our Special Day packages.) The Petite and Memories packages have time limits, but they are well within small/simple wedding/reception time-frames. With the Rehearsal Dinner Special Day Add-On's, we can also be at the Rehearsal and/or Rehearsal Dinner the night before the wedding.
Do I need to provide you with a LIST of pictures to take?: You may if you would like, but this is not necessary. We will automatically call on the Bride & Groom, Wedding Party, and Bride & Groom's Immediate Family (including Moms, Dads, Brothers & Sisters with their Spouses & Children, and Grandparents) for pictures to be taken.
Do you travel OUT-OF-TOWN?: Yes. Mason Photography is called on to photograph weddings all over the state of Mississippi and Out-of-State as well. We will inform you of any applicable travel fees when you contact us about your wedding.
Do you use others to photograph weddings for Mason Photography?: No. Mason Photography is a second/third generation family business and does not hire outside photographers to photograph weddings for us. We photograph each wedding personally. If we are already booked for your date and time, we will not be able to send someone else to photograph your wedding. Weddings are booked on a first come basis.
How do you dress to photograph a wedding?: Mason Photography is a professional company. We will be dressed in very appropriate church wedding attire. (suit and tie, dress) No jeans, t-shirts, shorts, etc....
What kind of CAMERA do you use?: We actually bring several cameras to every wedding (for safety and backup), not just a single camera. We presently use Professional Digital Still cameras for pictures, and a Professional 3CCD broadcast quality camera for our Ceremony Movie DVD and Rehearsal Dinner DVD Add-On's.
What does someone do with a PASSWORD?: Passwords are used to view Mason Photography's Weddings on the Web. We have the capability of putting the ENTIRE set of wedding pictures up on the internet for family and friends anywhere to see. They can then order themselves through Mason Photography's Online Ordering Center. If you have a password for a wedding, Click Here to view the wedding pictures. If you do not have a password for a wedding online, you will have to contact the Bride & Groom for the appropriate password. (Mason Photography typically does not give out passwords once we leave the wedding/reception.)
How much are additional INDIVIDUAL PICTURES?: Please see Individual Picture Prices.
What if others don't have Internet access to order?: Family/Friends must have the internet to view the pictures, however orders can be mailed in, or if using a Major Credit Card, family/friends can phone us with their order.
Are pictures ordered by others shipped directly to them?: Yes. When others order pictures, discs, etc..., their orders are normally sent directly to them. Shipping/Handling charges start at $2.95 for online orders, $3.95 for mail orders, and will be automatically added to each order.
How long do I have to order pictures?: Once online, all weddings remain online for up to 5 months and orders can be placed anytime while the wedding is online. Once the wedding is offline, pictures may no longer be available.
Do you have DVD's available?: Yes. Mason Photography has many DVD's available. The Wedding Picture DVD is a menu driven DVD showing the entire set of color Wedding Images from your wedding. Our Ceremony Movie DVD is like a video tape of your wedding. The Rehearsal Dinner DVD is also like video taping the Rehearsal and/or Dinner the night before the wedding. Discs are DVD+R format, DVD-R available.
I hear your DVD's contain "Easter Eggs"?: That is correct. Our Ceremony Movie DVD's contain what is called "Easter Eggs", or secret keystroke sequences that show bonus material that doesn't appear on the menu. However, half the fun of DVD Easter Eggs is that you have to find them, so....
Do you VIDEO TAPE weddings?: Mason Photography offers a Ceremony Movie DVD Special Day Add-On. The DVD contains a Movie (live action/sound) of the ceremony (processional to recessional) in addition to some reception footage. The menu driven DVD disc provides you with a lasting memory of your wedding that will not degrade with each playing in the same way video tape does. This is single camera coverage from your wedding guests' perspective. DVD+R format disc, DVD-R available. (Must have DVD player capable of playing disc.)
