FAQ
A clear overview of how I work, what’s included, and how everything comes together.
If you don’t see your question answered here, I’m always happy to talk things through.
My work is warm, natural, and quietly cinematic. I focus on genuine connection rather than staged moments, encouraging couples to interact in a relaxed, unforced way. I’m inspired by nature, light, and atmosphere, and I use creative techniques to give each wedding a distinctive visual character while keeping everything feeling honest and timeless.
There’s no fixed limit. My priority is telling the full story of your day, from preparations through to the energy on the dance floor. Most weddings require around 10 hours of coverage, though longer days are very common.
Absolutely. I’m always happy to meet for a coffee or chat over the phone or video call. It’s a great opportunity to talk through your plans, see if we’re the right fit, and walk through coverage, albums, and print options – without any obligation.
The process is simple and straightforward.
Start by sending an enquiry through my website. We can then meet in person or chat by phone or video to make sure we’re the right fit and talk through your plans. Once you’re ready to proceed, I’ll send through a contract and invoice. Your date is secured once the agreement is signed and the booking fee is paid.
Yes. A 50% booking fee is required to secure your wedding date. The remaining balance is due one week before the wedding. This ensures everything is confirmed well ahead of time so you can focus on enjoying the lead-up to the day.
Your full gallery will be delivered within four weeks of your wedding day.
Often, yes. Some councils and park authorities require photography permits. I’m happy to advise on what may be required, but organising and securing permits is the responsibility of the couple.
Yes. Engagement sessions are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and experience how I work before the wedding day. They can also be added to your coverage—please enquire for details and availability.
For a typical 10-hour wedding, you can expect approximately 900 fully edited, high-resolution images.
Yes. I’ve photographed weddings across Australia and internationally. I genuinely love working in new environments and am often happy to minimise or discount travel costs where possible. Destination weddings are quoted individually.
Yes, please. Convenient parking for me (and a second photographer if applicable) helps keep the day running smoothly and avoids unnecessary delays.
If coverage continues through the reception, a main meal is very much appreciated. It allows me to stay close by and ready to capture key moments as they unfold.
Your fully edited, high-resolution images will be delivered via a private online gallery. The gallery can be shared with family and friends and allows easy downloading for printing and archiving.
Every image is carefully culled and edited by me. I remove duplicates and unflattering frames before individually processing each final image. You’ll receive a refined mix of colour and black & white photographs. Editing is a core part of my creative process and is never outsourced.
Yes. You may request up to two rounds of revisions. Minor adjustments are complimentary; more complex retouching may incur an additional fee depending on time involved.
I recommend two photographers for larger weddings (generally 100+ guests). Benefits include:
Simultaneous coverage of both partners’ preparations
Greater variety of perspectives and moments
More complete coverage of guest interactions and events
Practical assistance during portraits and complex lighting situations.
Yes. I carry full public liability insurance.
I work with professional-grade Canon camera bodies, lenses, and lighting equipment, with full redundancy on the day. This ensures reliability, flexibility in all lighting conditions, and a seamless workflow.
Weather is never a problem. Rain, wind, and dramatic skies often add atmosphere and depth to photographs. I’m experienced working in challenging conditions and always adapt to make the most of whatever the day brings.
Your images are backed up immediately after the wedding using a triple-backup system, including internal drives, external drives, and secure off-site storage.
Completely flexible. Every wedding is different, and coverage can be tailored to suit your plans, priorities, and timeline.
Yes. I offer a curated range of fine-art albums and professional print options. Details and pricing are available on request.
You’ll receive full personal usage rights to your images. This means you’re welcome to print, share with family and friends, and post on social media. I retain the copyright, which allows me to showcase the work in my portfolio and for professional promotion.
In the highly unlikely event that I’m unable to attend your wedding, you will never be left without coverage. I have a trusted network of highly skilled professional photographers I’ve worked with closely over many years. I would arrange a suitable replacement and give you the choice of who photographs your day. Your coverage, experience, and final images would be fully honoured.
