FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS YOUR STYLE OF PHOTOGRAPHY?
I love to capture candid, spontaneous moments between you and your partner and guests, with an emphasis on colour, natural light, modern compositions and little details.
I can provide helpful direction so we can make the most of the light and stunning backgrounds, and can give you advice to create natural body positions during your couple shots. I shoot a combination of crisp close ups, and wide-angle shots with dreamy backgrounds.
WHAT SORT OF GEAR DO YOU USE?
I use Canon bodies and a variety of lenses suitable for both wide-angle, close ups and portrait style photographs.
I always carry backup lenses, bodies, batteries and stacks of memory cards,
so no matter what - the show will go on.
All of your images are backed up on 2 separate hard drives and a Cloud backup before I begin retouching.
WHERE DO YOU SERVICE?
I service the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Port Stephens and Central Coast.
IS THERE PAPERWORK INVOLVED FOR YOUR WEDDING SERVICES?
Yes - all clients will receive a contract detailing the terms and conditions of my service.
WE ARE BOOKED IN! WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
First of all, awesome! From here I'd love to stay updated with your plans for the day. I 100% recommend getting in touch with me before you plan your ceremony and reception timing! A few months out from your wedding you can expect a questionnaire sent to you for you to fill out all about your day and plans. After that we will organise a Zoom/Facetime to catch up and discuss all the things!
WILL WE GET A PRINT RELEASE FOR OUR WEDDING PHOTOS?
Yes. You and your family are able to print your photos as many times as you like!
WILL YOU HELP US WITH OUR WEDDING TIMELINE?
Yes, absolutely. I truly believe wedding photography is a collaborative process, and I like to work side by side with you as you plan your day. Please get in touch with me before you book your ceremony time!
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE WEDDING?
A couple of weeks are spent going through the hundreds of photographs taken from your day. Culling, sorting and processing with beautiful colours, light and sharpening. Your photographs will be delivered to you in an online gallery - able to be shared with all your friends and family.
WHEN DO I GET TO SEE OUR PHOTOS?
I’ll send you a small preview of your photos within a few days after your wedding. This is usually on the first or second weekday after your wedding day. The rest of your images will be ready 6-8 weeks after your wedding day.
HOW LONG DO YOU KEEP OUR PHOTOS FOR?
Your gallery will be online and active for 12 months after your wedding date! But from there you have the option of extending that timeframe through an annual hosting fee. This is available through the ‘shop’ featured in your gallery.
ARE YOU INSURED?
Yes. I am fully insured.
DO YOU TAKE PHOTOS OF MY FAMILY AND GUESTS ON MY WEDDING DAY?
Yes. We can chat prior to your wedding exactly the sort of family photographs you are after. Whether it be candid or formal shots of family throughout the day/evening, table shots, couple shots, or all of the above! I've always got my eye on your guests throughout the day so I can capture everyone having a great time.
WE AREN’T SURE IF WE WANT A FINE ART ALBUM, CAN YOU SHOW US SOME SAMPLES? CAN WE ORDER ONE A FEW MONTHS AFTER OUR WEDDING?
Yes and yes! You are able to order a Fine Art Wedding Album up to 1 year after your wedding date.
WE’RE ELOPING!
Great! I would be more than happy to put together a package for you. I offer packages for small elopements (2 hours coverage) and micro weddings (4 hours coverage)
WHO DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR VIDEOGRAPHY?
One of my most asked questions! I love to work with Matt and Tash from Design Patrol, Corey and Sam from Hunter Valley Video and Sophie from White Maple. All of these vendors are incredible at what they do and genuinely wonderful people to have around you on your wedding day!
WE ARE INTERESTED IN BOOKING YOU FOR OUR WEDDING, WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?
Awesome! Let me know you're ready and I can send you my booking information.
A non-refundable Retainer Fee of $1000 and my contract agreement is required to secure your wedding date.
HOW CAN WE PAY? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Payments are able to be made by direct deposit, with the bank details provided in my booking information. Collection balances are due 2 weeks prior to the wedding date. I will be in touch throughout your wedding planning to discuss your ideas and timeline!
