FAQ Weddings
Where are you working? We are working all over Cyprus.
Do you travel? Photography and travelling are our 2 great passions in life. We have travelled for photoshoots all over Europe, Russia, and Dubai.
When and how we can book you? If you have decided that we will be the photographer of your wedding day, drop us an email. We will discuss for a 20% non-refundable booking prepayment and only once received, will proceed with the signature of the formal agreement and confirmation of the booking.
What if you are not familiar with my venue? We have worked in most venues in Cyprus, but even if not – or a new place abroad – We visit the venue in advance to get acquainted with it.
What equipment are you using? I am a fun of top-of-the-line Canon DSL pro cameras. In now days, all brands are unique in their way, thus trust me, it is not the equipment that makes the difference. Nevertheless, my equipment can cope with all environments, I always use back ups and end photos are safely stored on our Synology NAS systems.
Can we book you for half a day? Currently I offer 3 packages from 3-10 hours. However for Saturdays and Sundays priority is given on the 6-hours onwards, thus be sure to book in advance to ensure availability.
Can we see an event from start to finish? I encourage you to ask me. Website just limits me!
Can we meet to discuss the details of the wedding? An hour of meeting is inclusive with all packages of more than 4 hours, either in person, or Zoom/Skype/Teams.
Who will be shooting the wedding? You are hiring me, Anna Barulina to be the photographer of the wedding. To ensure that all moments are captured and any technical problems that might arise are quickly resolved, I work with an experienced assistance who only serves as a second shooter.
Can you advise / help with other parts of the wedding process? Of course! I can advise for the best wedding venues compared to the season of the wedding and I have my team of associates for the following:
Make-up / Dresses – either to buy or rent / Florist
We want the perfect photos, but we are shy, how do you help? Definitely will help, because I love to get involved to the whole process. I am passionate about creating experiences that bring attention to the mystery, wonder, and beauty of the in-betweens. You need not to worry about posing. With me all is easy, you will feel comfortable during the shoot and following the postproduction the result will be genuine and memorable.
