I shoot in a predominantly photojournalistic style, however there will be times when I do need to offer a little direction to get the shots you want.
For example; during your ceremony, I'll work as discretely as possible. However with your couple photos, I do offer initial posing guidance as a starting point for more natural moments that will follow.

Yes! I will be your photographer.
I don’t double-book wedding days use sub-contracted photographers.
I take the photos and edit the images. It's all me!

Yes, of course!
Once I find out your provisional wedding timeline I can provide you with a photography package that suits your needs.

On your wedding day, I always arrive early at the starting location; usually 30+ minutes earlier than my scheduled start time. This allows me to meet everyone, check out how things are flowing so far, and make adjustments to my shot plans if required. I do not charge for this extra time.

Adding extra hours to your photo coverage ‘on the day’ is not something that I usually do. I prefer to workout a realistic photography time-line for your wedding and create the appropriate photography package for you.

I sure will. I won’t plan your day 100 percent around photography but I will let you know how much time is ‘ideal’ for key stages of the day.

It’s helpful to have a discussion with me before you book your ceremony time, though at the end of the day, I'll work around any stages of your wedding that are already locked in to a schedule.
Once I know your wedding date and where your ceremony and reception will be held, I can work out a draft photography time-line, which we'll fine tune as your day draws closer.

There will be a few time sensitive parts of the day where we need to stick to a photography schedule but outside of those moments, I like to just go with the flow!

Working to a shot list for family photos is a big YES from me. A list gives us a solid plan and ensures we don’t bogged down with too many on-the-day photo combination requests that may not be that important to you.
If you have a particular request or idea for your intimate couple photos, sure, let me know. We shouldn’t really have a shot timetable as such, as that might not suit the flow of the day as it happens, however where possible I’m happy to accomodate any ideas you have.

I do offer engagement shoots as an add-on to any Wedding Photography package.

No sorry. I prefer to concentrate on delivering an excellent photographic documentary of your day, and not let anything jeopardise that.
My personal belief is that each wedding vendor should be exceptional at their respective niche not a ‘jack of all trades’.
I can however, recommend a fantastic videographer, should you need one.

As a guide, I supply you with 90+ edited images for every hour that I am formally booked. So if you book me for 10 hours, I will supply you at least 900 edited images (or more). I work to the ethos that quality trumps quantity.
Images are recorded to my camera as a RAW file. I then edit the RAW images in software, applying my ‘look’ and adjusting the exposure where required.
The RAWs are then converted to lossless Jpegs; a file format that can be shared online or used to create tangible prints and albums.
All images are delivered via a private online gallery and can be downloaded in full resolution for printing and low resolution for your socials.
I don’t supply RAW format.

We have to revisit the ‘RAW’ format thing.
The images recorded in camera are ‘RAW’ format. A RAW image is like a digital ‘negative’ that contains as much detail as possible in the shadows, right through to the highlights (just like negative film used to do).
Through the use of non-destructive software, the RAW file then has my edits applied. Tone curve adjustment, colour balance, contrast, hue, saturation and luminance adjustments, grain and sharpening are all applied.
Each image may then be adjusted slightly for exposure and some parts of an image may be selectively brightened or darkened to give a desired effect.
These edits give the image my stylised ‘look’, and are applied to the final Jpeg images that I upload to your gallery. This is all time spent, after the wedding day, that is included in my package fee. This is what I consider to be ‘editing’.
‘Retouching’ is a different task. It is where specific parts of an image are modified in fine detail. There can be many small parts of an image that can be retouched if we had no limit on time and money.
Effects like skin smoothing and blemish removal, object removal and sky replacement are all image modification processes that I consider to be ‘retouching’.
Retouching is not included in my package fee however, I do make exceptions. For example, if either of the wedding couple develops a pimple that can’t be fully covered by make-up, I will do some blemish reduction work on the feature shots that require it.
Also, there will inevitably be some shots from the day that I will consider to be ‘hero’ shots. These will be chosen by me, and as a part of the editing process I will spend a little more time working on them. 🙂

Please allow between to 3 to 5 weeks, however I can sometimes deliver them sooner.

Your image gallery will remain available online for 15 months from the delivery date. Please be sure to download and secure all files, before the 15 month time frame expires.
I recommend that you store your images on two SSD devices and with a ‘cloud’ service for ultimate digital image security. Of course printing your images offers a tangible copy that also preserves your valuable images and memories.
Please note that I will always make sure you have downloaded and secured your images before taking down a gallery. I archive a copy of your wedding images too.

You can pay me via Direct Bank Transfer.
I don't accept Credit Cards, Paypal, Zip Pay or Afterpay.
Payments can be made in instalments.

No, not at all. The high resolution images in your gallery can be downloaded to a flash drive and printed at any reputable photo lab.
Though please keep in mind, the print store that is attached to your wedding gallery is fulfilled by my affiliate professional print lab that produces products of the highest standard.

Yes I do but there is nothing out of the ordinary that will limit your general usage.
All my T&C’s are considered standard within the wedding industry. They can be viewed in detail within my Contract.

Yep. I have $20 million public liability coverage, as well insurance for goods in legal and physical control.

I shoot with the latest Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras and Sony G-Master lenses.

I like to dress appropriately for the occasion. No loud colours or patterns; I want to blend in.
