FAQs

What is your experience with photographing weddings?

As a full-time wedding photographer, I’ve documented over 120 weddings around New England and beyond. The weddings I photograph are diverse – from City Hall weddings where I’ve been the only witness, to 300+ person affairs. I’ve documented Catholic, Jewish, Episcopalian, Egyptian Coptic, non-denominational Christian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Muslim, same-sex, and non-religious ceremonies. I would love to learn all  about the customs and events at your wedding.

As a word-of-mouth business, I have no paid advertising or paid listings. It’s very important that I have trusting relationships and happy clients who will recommend me to their friends and family. If you’re interested in what past wedding couples are saying, you can read some reviews here.

How far in advance should I book you?

Most couples book me about 6-12 months before their wedding. I book some weddings as far as 18 months in advance, and occasionally as little as 2 or 3 months ahead. If I’m already booked for your wedding date then I’m happy to recommend another photographer.

How can I book you for our wedding?

Please use the “Contact” link in the menu at the top of this website. I can then tell you if I’m available for your wedding date and send you additional information on packages and pricing. A $1,000 retainer and signed contract reserves your wedding date.

I also keep regular office hours to meet with clients and am available to speak over the phone just about any weekday. While most of my clients are in New England, I frequently work with couples who are planning their weddings remotely.

How much will it cost to hire you?

Please contact me using the link in the menu for details on services, packages, and pricing.

Where are you located?

In 2011 I moved my business from Boston to Providence, Rhode Island. Since so many of my clients live and work in Boston or northern New England, I still keep an office in Boston.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes! While I’m based in New England, I’m also available for weddings just about anywhere.

We like your photography style but would like to have traditional portraits as well. Is this something you do?

Yes, I take traditional family portraits at nearly every wedding I photograph. Traditional family portraits are an important part of your wedding and family record.

When will our photos be ready?

Your digital proofs will be ready in an online gallery within 4-6 weeks of your wedding.

Will our photos be in black & white and in color?

I usually deliver a mix of photos that are roughly 85% color and 15% black & white. That ratio however, depends on the wedding.

Do you process all of the photos in our gallery, or just the ones in the album or from which we make prints?

Some photographers do basic corrections on your gallery and then only optimize images for print that you choose to put in an album or print through that photographer. I process all of the photos so that they are print-ready.

Do you offer a second photographer?

About 90 percent of the weddings featured on this website were photographed by me working alone. However, I do offer second photographers. Once I understand your wedding and photography requirements, I can recommend whether a second photographer would be beneficial or necessary for your wedding.

What kind of cameras do you use?

I use professional-level Canon digital cameras and lenses with backups. I also use medium format Contax, Hasselblad, and Mamiya film cameras.

Do you have business insurance?

Lisa Rigby Photography is fully insured through Travelers. Having business insurance is required for a photographer to work at many wedding venues and reception sites.

Do you have another job?

Nope. I’m a full-time wedding photographer.
