HOW DO WE LOCK YOU IN?

Let’s grab a coffee/beer/wine at my local or alternatively jump on a zoom call and have a chat about your big day! You guys can decide if you’d like to have me as part of your wedding! I’d then just require a $1000 deposit to lock everything in. I’ll send over your wedding contract and once that’s signed we’re good to go! The remainder of your balance isn’t due until 3 weeks out from your big day. This can be paid in instalments or as a one-off payment. I can then help you both out in writing up a perfect wedding schedule so the day can run as smoothly as possible. I’m always available to you guys to answer any wedding-related questions you might have. I’ll check out your venue about 1-2 weeks out from the wedding and suss the light and best spots for photos on the day!

WHAT ARE YOU FEES?

Prices start at $3700 for 6 hours of photography. I typically shoot for 8 hours on the day which is a nice sweet spot to capture everything from getting ready through to the d-floor later on. I’ll send you guys my wedding price guide with all the information you need once you’ve enquired.

WHERE ARE YOU BASED?

I’m currently based out of Melbourne but I’m available to shoot weddings regional, interstate or worldwide.

SHOULD WE DO AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT?

Engagement shoots are a great way to help you guys become more comfortable in front of the camera. I totally get it, getting your photo taken can feel super awkward! So doing an engagement session is a great warm up for your wedding! You’ll get to see how I work, you’ll get a heap of extra beautiful photos of you and your partner (on top of your wedding photos), there’s no pressure or time constraints, you can wear whatever you want, we can shoot wherever you want and best of all, we’ll have a ridiculous amount of fun doing it! By the time we get around to shooting your wedding, you guys will be pros! You’ll feel much more comfortable getting you photo taken, which will help me capture those natural and candid moments!

SHOULD WE GET A SECOND SHOOTER?

I’m 100% capable of shooting a wedding on my own and have been doing so for many years now. However, I do offer a second photographer option as an add-on for my wedding packages. Having a second shooter with me is great for larger weddings when there’s a lot going on and a lot to capture. They’re also fab for capturing different angles of the bride walking down the aisle during the ceremony. While we’re shooting bridal party photos I’ll often leave my second shooter with your guests to capture candid moments and also to capture some detail shots of your reception styling. If you’re not really sure if you need one or not, hit me up and tell me about your big day and we can decide whether it’s right for you.

WHAT IF WE’RE AWKWARD INFRONT OF THE CAMERA?

This is by far the number one thing couples say to me! Don’t worry, so am I! I totally understand it can feel super awkward getting your photo taken. But this is where my experience comes in! My photography style is very natural with authentic smiles and laughs and is really about capturing you guys having the best f*cking time! I achieve this by getting you both to focus on each other, it’s like I’m not even there! You’ll be too distracted to even worry about what I’m doing. We’ll play some games, have a laugh, get silly and take some bloody magic photos of you both having a killer time.

HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH PRESSURE?

I’m as cool as a cucumber! I’ve shot enough weddings now to know how to deal with everything that happens on the day, including any problems that might occur. Rain, time restrictions, even red wine on the wedding dress (it’s happened before!). I like to be as involved as possible with your planning of the day. I’ll help you guys write out a wedding schedule with all the timings so everything can run as smoothly as possible. I also love to check out all the spots for the bridal photos, time permitted, I usually have 2 epic locations up my sleeve, and a third option just incase it rains. It pays to be organised!

SHOULD WE DO SUNSET PHOTOS?

ABSOLUTELY!!! This is the best time of day for taking photos, it’s when the magic happen! Ideally we’ll plan your bridal party photos as close to sunset as possible, but often the sun will be setting later during your reception. Not to worry though! We’ll pop out for 15 mins just before the sun sets, usually while guests are eating, we’ll get some cute photos in that magic light, then have you back in no time!
