When you are ready. Planning a wedding is hard! The best thing to do is to get in touch and see if I am available. Just be aware I only take 30 elopement & wedding bookings per season.
-
Definitely! I want you to spend your wedding day with the right photographer for you. I am available to meet you during the Afternoons or Weekends.
I can meet you via Zoom if that is easier for you. I tend to meet all my clients at the start and then once more prior to the BIG DAY :)
-
If you think I am the photographer for you, I ask for a $750 deposit to retain the date, along with a signed contract and booking form with some details about you guys and you're wedding.
The final payment is due in the 14 days before your wedding.
Just so you know I don’t hold dates without the contract & retainer. -
This is something that we discuss at length before your wedding because every wedding is different and unique. After the ceremony, it is nice to allow time for you to mingle with your guests and soak in the congratulations and love, plus have a little bit of time to get photos with important family members. Couples choose me as their photographer because they connect with the relaxed, natural images and during portraits it does take a little time to get relaxed in front of the camera. I ask for around an hour after the ceremony and family photos have finished before the reception starts if the wedding is in one place. If you need to travel for photos and to the reception, allow for travel time, plus 30-45 minutes at each location you have chosen, but try to limit the locations to areas close to the ceremony/reception locations, that way you don't spend your wedding day sitting in a car!

No its just me Guys
I am very organized and even see the moments others would miss.
I promise you are in good hands with me. -
My approach to portrait photos is to try and get you to be as natural in front of the camera, easier said than done right? I want you to talk to each other (topic choice might be that you just got married less than an hour ago!), enjoy being together and I want to capture that connection. If you are very nervous, I will work with a long lens, but as you get more relaxed I will start to do some gentle posing with you to get a variety of images for you but nothing extreme to make you feel more awkward. I am a candid photographer, which means I document what is happening and I do not work off a set list of poses and then manipulate you into these poses.
The focus of my images are couples together, enjoying the fact they just got married and connecting with each other, not connecting with the camera by saying cheese and looking down the lens. The best way to do this is to try and ignore me as much as possible and soak up the atmosphere of your day.

Being a story-telling photographer, I am capturing moments and in-between moments with all the people you have brought together to be a part of your wedding. So I don't think I could capture that in a set number of images and certainly not in 600 photos or less. If you need to know a certain number, it will be over 1000 for the basic package, and then well on the way to 2000 images if you have extended time, two photographers, and more than 100 guests.
-
After your wedding I post a selection of your images on Facebook or Instagram as Sneak Peeks and send you a little Sneak Peek Gallery. Then I go back and process every image that is going to be delivered. Because you have the print release, I want every image to be a true representation of your day, not just the images on the blog or in an album. This task is a little time consuming, and I try to get every wedding out of the studio and into your hands as quickly as possible. In peak season it will be a 6 week turnaround.
-
All packages will be provided with all images on a downloadable online gallery. I am phasing out USBs as they are not a reliable back up of your images, and definitely not a way to store your images. An online gallery is online and accessible as long as I am in business (and I will give plenty of warning to redownload your gallery if I am to close my studio)! If you do not have good internet access then let me know and we can work on delivering your images on a USB.
All images are at full resolution without a watermark and come with a print release for non-commercial use.
