FAQs

How do we book you?

Send me an enquiry through the contact page and I will see if your wedding date is available. To secure your date I require a 50% non-refundable booking fee and I’ll send you a contract to sign so you know what to expect. The remaining payment id due 14 days prior to the event. Note due to high demand, your booking is not secure until you deposit payment has been received.

Where are you based?

I’m based in beautiful Christchurch, New Zealand but I love to travel and will happily jet off anywhere around NZ and the world. My bucket list of places I’d love to shoot a wedding are New York City, South of France, Greece (any cute island), and Tuscany, Lake Como and Positano in Italy.

How many photos will we receive?

Depending on your chosen coverage and package, you will receive approximately 600+ carefully edited and curated photos. For elopements, you will receive between 200-300 and for engagement shoot approximately 100.

What is your photography style?

Romantic photography captured with a documentary eye and a touch of editorial magic sums up my style. I am a natural light photographer and seldom use ambient light unless it’s necessary. I love to have a playful fun element through my imagery, celebrating the joy that comes with a wedding day.

What is your approach to the day?

My approach is calm, relaxed and non-obtrusive for the most part. I aim to take timeless, stunning wedding photographs that capture genuine emotion to tell the story of your day. Throughout parts of the day I will direct shots where necessary, sometimes in the form of hyping up the bridal party to get those really fun moments captured.

How will we receive our photos?

Within the week following your wedding you’ll receive a selection of highlights from the day to give you a taste of what’s to come and to share with friends and family. 8-12 weeks later you will receive an online gallery where you can snuggle up with a glass of bubbles and watch a slideshow of your full wedding gallery as well as download all the images (both high and low resolution). Depending on the package you book, you may also receive a package in the mail containing prints from your day and a personal thank you from me.

Why does it take so long to receive our photos?

I spend an average of 25+ hours editing and colour correcting all of your final photos. I want to make sure every single one is pristine before I send them out to you, this is why it takes some time. If you would like your images sooner, you can have a chat with me about my priority service.

Do you have any vendor recommendations?

I know and have worked with so many outstanding vendors in the last 10+ years. I would love to recommend some that can help you make your wedding day the best it can be. 
Just reach out and I will send you a comprehensive list for your area.

Do you photograph internationally?

Absolutely! If you’re considering a destination wedding, drop me a line and we’ll iron out the finer details. My dream locations include New York City, South of France, Greece, and Tuscany, Lake Como and Positano in Italy.

Do you photograph elopements?

Yes, sure do. If you and your partner have decided to forego the big wedding ceremony and do something intimate or just the two of you, I would be honoured to capture it for you. Get in touch to find out more about my elopement packages and we can discuss and dream about your perfect day.

Can we print our photos?

Absolutely, images only truly come to life when they’re printed and tangible. I would be so delighted for you to print your shots. You can easily order prints through your gallery, or through a quality print shop. As long as they are printed with good ink on high-quality paper, they will stand the test of time.

Do you offer wedding albums?

Yes, I offer the most beautiful luxury wedding albums. A wedding album is a beautiful keepsake you will cherish and share with your family for generations. Being able to feel and hold your album will bring the images to life in a way that you simply cannot experience with digital copies. You are welcome to order a wedding album from me at any time. For more information on my albums, click here.

Do you give out RAW files?

Nope. I don’t give out any unedited files as editing is half of the process and where a lot of the magic happens. My work is incomplete without it. I promise I will never leave out any photos that you might want, I won’t let you miss out on any memories!

What are your travel costs?

As all destination weddings are different travel and accomodation are not included in my collections. However, once we have discussed a few details about your wedding, I will be able to put together a travel quote. I am always transparent with my travel costs and will quote everything ahead of time. Unless we make a special arrangement, all travel and accommodation will be handled and booked by me.
