FAQ
How long is coverage for a typical wedding day ?
my unlimited coverage* typically runs 10 to 12 hours of continuous coverage inc dinner break. I like to arrive 2-3 hours before your ceremony and will cover both bride and groom prep if in the same venue. If you are in separate venues, I would recommend a second photographer if groom prep photos are important to you though. coverage will normally run into 4 or 5 dances after your first dance but if the dance floor is packed and everyone is having fun I’m gonna keep shooting because no good story starts by being at home in your bed
How many photos do I receive?
Each wedding day can be different. I have a set set amount for each package 4hrs - 150 6hrs - 250 and full day 500+. This could be more or less than the stated amount but it’s always 99% more to be fair. I will always strive to deliver the amount stated in the package. All photographs are in high resolution without any watermarks.
Do I have the option to download the photos onto a USB from the online gallery there for printing?
Yes, as many time you want. your online galley gives you the option to download as much as you want and as many times as you want. Please do not screen shot from your gallery as there is no need it lets you download straight to any device depending on that’s devices storage capacity. There is also a printing shop included in the gallery so you can buy prints directly from there.
Do you do family photographs?
Yes, I do. If that’s what is important to you. I typically ask for a list of important family member groups to have on the day and remind my couples these could take up to 5 mins for each group to be set up so remember 12 groups = 60mins of your time taken up
How long will we spend on portraits?
As I shoot documentary I don’t want you to miss too much of your big day. I usually recommend allotting at least 20-30 minutes with just the two of you. Usually during the 1st half of your cocktail hour. but If you want some epic shots and want to drive to the “top of the hill”, then this will take longer, and if you have a near by location you really want shots at I recommend doing that at golden hour (1 hour before sunset) I try to keep the posing to a minimum as I want to be able to capture the candid and real emotions between you both.
Do you edit pictures after? Any Photoshop involved?
Every photo is fully edited to my style. It takes us photographers hours and hours to select the photos and edit. I do not provide full photoshop edits but I will do some light skin retouching and the removal of distracting elements from images and no I cant remove your husband sorry ladies haha my goal is for you to be able recognise yourself 20 years from now not make you look like a completely different person. if you have picked me as your photographer then its because you like my style swell as me please don’t put filters on your photos.You will receive all photos within 4-6 weeks time(peak times may vary)
Can I send you recommendations on what photos to take?
Some photographers hate this but I don’t mind a suggestion for one or two but just take note these photos will never be the same as your original recommendation. Lighting, composition, camera, lens and the subject all play a part is how an image is captured. So no two photos will ever be the same.
Do you bring a back-up camera?
Yes, of course. I shoot with 2 cameras and if you opt for a 2nd photographer they will be the same. I also use cameras with 2 memory card slots for additional back up of images
How do I book your services? How much is the deposit?
Once you are happy that I am the photographer for you a contract and a 30% booking fee is required to secure your date. Date unfortunately cannot be kept with out this. This fee guarantees your date is not double booked. The retainer is non refundable unless cancelled by myself or I can re-book your date only at that time will I refund your booking fee with the remaining balance to be paid 30 days before your big day.
