FAQ - Glenn Orion | Photographer

So are you a weekend warrior or is this your 'real' job?

I know, I can't believe it either—I get to do what I love and am passionate about full-time. In high school, my aspiration was to be a corporate attorney running my own firm, so entrepreneurship was always in the cards. Do I eat cereal and ice cream (sometimes together) whenever I want (all the time)? Do I get to stay in sweatpants all day and watch the previous night's late-night talk shows on Hulu while editing? Maybe. But as any small-business owner will tell you, we're the only type of people who'll work 80-hr weeks on our own just to avoid working 40 for someone else.

And where are you based out of?

Home base is Silver Spring, MD—it's pretty much equidistant from downtown DC and Baltimore.

Well, our wedding is out-of-state, are you willing to travel?

Absolutely! I've had the immense pleasure of celebrating with my awesome couples in Mexico, Jamaica , Puerto Rico, California, New York, and Illinois. Travel and accommodation are shouldered by the client, though I do have special rates for destination weddings—so let's talk details!

Speaking of rates, how much are your packages?

My most popular collection is currently $3800 which includes unlimited hours and photos for the engagement session and wedding day, a canvas wrap, and album. Need fewer hours for an intimate ceremony or elopement? I have an hourly rate we can talk about, too.

Do you really mean "unlimited hours"? And how many photos do you deliver?

I do! Telling your wedding day story from start to finish is something I strongly believe in. So I'll be there when you're in your bathrobe getting falsies put on and your groom isn't even up yet, all the way through the last call and the venue staff are stacking chairs.
When I shot for magazines, I had an artistic director who decided what went to print. So now that I do all my own editing, I don't put a limit on the photos I give you. Average is about 1000-1200 for a typical 10-hr wedding, and all photos are in full-resolution, adjusted for exposure, color-corrected, and ready to print.

Awesome, I think we're ready to do this. How do we book you?

Great! Let's set up a time and place to meet or hop on FaceTime/Skype so I can get to know you and your story better. Then, I'll email you a contract to fill out and after you've sent that in along with the 25% retainer, we're ready to figure out your engagement session logistics and go from there!

Oh, one more thing, do you have insurance?

Sure do! Let me know whom to contact at your venue and I'd be happy to send them my credentials.

Last, last thing: How do you pronounce "Orion"?

Like the constellation!
