FAQs

  • 1. What photography and videography services do you offer?

    La Pie offers both photography and videography services.
    We specialise in wedding photojournalism, family portraits, and company event coverage. We also offer videography so you can relive your special moments in motion.

    2. Where are you based, and do you travel for assignments?
    We are based in Finland but happily travel across Europe and beyond. Travel fees may apply depending on the location.

    3. Do you photograph both small and large events?
    Yes, we cover everything from intimate gatherings to full-scale celebrations and corporate events.

    4. Do you offer both photojournalistic and posed photography styles?
    Absolutely. We love capturing candid, storytelling moments but can also guide you through classic, posed portraits.

    5. Do you also provide videography along with photography?
    At the moment, we offer one videography package with a fixed price.

    However, since we’re still in the early stages of our team, we can currently provide either photography or videography for each booking — not both at the same time just yet.

    6. Can we request specific shots or styles?
    You’re always welcome to share your inspirations, but we follow our own signature style — honest, emotional, and documentary.
    If you love that approach, we’ll be the perfect fit for you 🤍

  • 1. How far in advance should we book our wedding photography?

    However we will keep you informed of our availability publicly on our website Calendar.

    2. Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding sessions?
    We don’t offer separate pre-wedding sessions. Instead, we provide pre-ceremony portraits on the wedding day itself.

    This way, you still get beautiful couple portraits in a relaxed setting, without needing to book an additional session. It’s a practical way to save money while still having timeless images of just the two of you — similar in spirit to pre-wedding photos, but captured naturally on your wedding day.

    Definitely. We tailor our packages to suit your needs and preferences.
