DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?
I am based in Carrum Downs in South East Melbourne, however I will happily travel anywhere. I have photographed weddings all throughout Victoria and love getting to explore new places. I’m available to travel throughout Melbourne and Victoria which includes the Yarra Valley, Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula and country Victoria. Get in touch to know more.
DO WE MEET BEFORE THE WEDDING?
Yes, I usually find a half way point where we can meet, grab a coffee or we can Skype if you’re overseas or interstate. Since I’ll basically be your shadow for the day, it’s really important that we get along and meeting will help prevent any awkwardness. Think of it as going on a cute date with a third wheel!
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE, AND WHAT IS THE TURNAROUND TIME?
Every wedding is different but it averages out to be 70-90 photos per hour of shooting. I send through 10 preview photos 24 hours of your wedding and the rest are supplied via USB and online gallery 3-4 weeks later.
WE DON’T KNOW HOW TO POSE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, HOW DO YOU SOLVE THIS?
Don’t stress at all! This is very common. For your photos together I aim to capture the interactions between you two and all the moments that you share together in a way that is non-intrusive and authentic. I will step in when needed to tweak poses and give you gentle prompts to help you both feel at ease and forget the camera as much as possible. My style is more about capturing your interaction together rather than a lot of really formal posing so I won’t have you doing any pose that you don’t feel comfortable doing. We also can do an engagement photography session before the wedding day to help practice and ease those camera jitters! I promise you that your experience will be fun and relaxed.
DO WE NEED A SECOND SHOOTER?
I generally work solo and have been doing so since 2015. I only recommend a secondary shooter if you are getting ready in vastly different places, if you’re having a first look or if you are having over 150 guests but in saying that, I have solo shot a wedding of 300 guests!
WHAT DEPOSIT DO YOU REQUIRE?
If you’re ready to book (yay!), I require a 20% deposit to secure your day (which is deducted from your package total) along with a completed wedding contract to secure your wedding date.
