Weddings
On Your wedding day
What I love most about weddings is that each one is totally unique,
just like the two of you.
What makes me different is that I will get to know you and your day inside out. I’ll meet with you before and share the ideas and dreams of your day. I will then transfer that into a visual legacy that lasts for generations to come.
My approach is moment-driven: yes I will bring you creative portraits of you as a couple, I’ll capture those little details , and I’ll certainly get that group shot for Grandma’s mantelpiece, but for the most part I will be there to capture the real moments as they happen – and above all the fun!

FAQ's
How many images will we receive and do we get usage rights?
Images numbers largely depend on how much coverage you opt for. During a typical wedding day, you will receive between 300 and 500 images. You are assigned full and unrestricted usage rights to print and share for personal use, but you cannot use them for commercial purposes.
Do you do group photographs?
If you would like them, yes I do! At the consultation we will work together to set up a photo list prior to the wedding day so you get exactly what you want.
Do you do posed couple portraits and if so, when?
I will usually borrow you after the ceremony for 20-25 minutes to take a few photos. After this, we will do any group shots that you have requested as well.
Are you fully insured?
I have full, professional insurance to cover every aspect of my wedding photography services.
Do you use Flash?
Yes, but I try to avoid it if it is not necessary.
How long after the wedding will the photographs be ready?
Your images are ready within 6 to 8 weeks following the wedding. I always aim to try and deliver them sooner than this if possible.
How many photographs do we get?
Typically, at a wedding I will shoot over 2000 photographs. I then spend time editing the best images – removing photos where you are blinking or in mid-sentence! I don’t limit how many photos that I give you but you can expect anywhere from 200 – 500 photos depending on the length of the day.
Do you have back-up equipment?
Yes, I have two cameras and multiple lenses, it’s exceptionally rare that a technical issue occurs but in the event that it does, I’m covered!
