## FAQ
- How much do you charge? A flat RM275 per hour, discounted from RM350, for weddings, celebrations and portraits.
- How many photos will I get? Around 30 edited photographs for every hour of coverage, give or take.
- Do you charge extra for travel? No, travel anywhere in Penang is included.
- How do I book? Send me a WhatsApp message with your event date, venue or location, and a brief description of the occasion. A 50% deposit is required to secure your date, with the remaining 50% payable after your photos have been delivered.
- Do you edit the photos? Yes. Every photograph is edited by hand with an editing style inspired by film and the way memories are remembered — a little imperfect, sometimes incomplete, soft around the edges, and occasionally bittersweet. The colours and tones are kept natural, with a nostalgic feel that makes the photographs feel like memories rather than polished moments.
- Do you do posed or family group photos? Yes. I mostly focus on natural, candid moments as they happen. I’m also happy to take family and group photos, keeping them quick, relaxed, and natural so everyone can get back to enjoying the occasion.
- What types of photography and events does Theo Takes cover? Theo Takes provides photography for weddings, birthdays, celebrations, personal portraits, and family portraits. Photography coverage is available for both private events and portrait sessions in Penang.
- How long does it take to receive photos from Theo Takes? Portrait photography galleries are typically delivered within 2 weeks. Wedding photography galleries are typically delivered within 1 month. Delivery times may vary depending on the size and scope of the photography session or event.
- Can I request specific photos, poses, people, or moments to be captured? Yes. Clients are welcome to share specific photography ideas, important people, requested poses, or important moments they would like captured. Theo Takes will take these requests into consideration when planning and photographing the session or event.
