FAQ’s
Where are you based?
I'm based in the beautiful Sutherland Shire (just South of Sydney). You will find me shooting weddings regularly down south in Wollongong/Illawarra region, on the South Coast of NSW and all across Sydney. I do love to travel to new and exciting places so please just ask no matter where you are planning on getting married. Generally anything over a 2 hour drive will incur a small travel fee for one nights accommodation (booked by myself).
Do you edit your images?
Yes I do! All of my images are taken on a DSLR in RAW format so that I can enhance the natural beauty that is in them. I spend a lot of time editing all of my clients photographs and I edit every single image to the absolute best of my ability. Check out my portfolio of images to see what your wedding day could look like if you choose me to be your wedding photographer.
How long does it take for us to receive our photos back after the wedding?
Your full gallery will be ready 4-6 weeks after your wedding. I also try to get a sneak peek of about 5-10 photos done within 48-72 hours after your wedding day, so that you have something to show off from your wedding and to share with family and friends.
How many images do I receive?
For a typical wedding you can expect to receive between 50-80 photos per hour of coverage. It really does depend on the size of your wedding day. I don't cap the amount of photos you will receive, so you will receive all of the best images from the day.
But you took over 1500 - 2000 images on the day, why can't we have them all?
I do usually take way more photos then necessary over the course of your wedding day but that is just to make sure that I get the shot. So a lot of the shots are double ups, not in focus or are not flattering to you. So I do cull them down so that you only receive the best of the best.
Do you work alone or with another photographer?
I mainly shoot by myself and I usually have an assistant with me on the day, just to help things go smoothly. I do from time to time work with another photographer as my second shooter at your wedding. When we talk over the details of your wedding we will discuss if I think a second photographer is required.
What happens if you are sick or injured on our wedding day?
So far I have never missed a wedding (touch wood), but if something did happen to go wrong and I was sick or injured I do have a great network of peers that I can call up at the last minute. This will allow me to get in a second shooter to help assist me if I just need a little bit of extra help or I can call up a lead photographer to cover me to make sure that you still have a photographer on your wedding day. I will never just leave you without anyone to shoot your day.
Do you support same sex marriages?
Yes! I would love nothing more then to capture your wedding day for you, no matter what your orientation is. To me love really is love and it doesn't matter who that is between. So please don't be shy and shoot me a message if you love my work.
My partner and I don’t like getting our photos taken.
I hear this a lot from my clients. Don’t let this stress you out. I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve to help you to relax and enjoy getting your photos taken, so that the real you shines through. I also offer engagement sessions which can be a great way to get used to being in front of the camera and it is also a great way for us to get to know each other better.
Do you Photoshop our photos?
I do sometimes use Photoshop to enhance your photos (colours, lighting and removing the odd little imperfection) but I do not use photoshop for altering your appearance or cutting things out of the photos. I like your photos to be a true representation of you and your location on your wedding day.
Can you help us to organise out timeline for the day?
Definitely. I can help you by advising you on timings for the day so that you allow enough time for the important parts of the day, so that your day is as stress free and as easy as possible. I will also make sure that you get to spend as much time with your family and friends as possible.
Can you be our photographer on our wedding day?
As long as I'm not booked on your date, then I would love nothing more then to work with you. Simply fill out my contact form and I will be in touch with you within a day. This is my full time job (apart from being a mum), so I am usually pretty prompt with my replies. We can then organise a time to meet over coffee (or wine) or even the phone to discuss your wedding day.
