It's best to book more time than you need than not enough.
Figure out what time your ceremony is at and how long it will go for as this is the most important part of the day to have covered. From here, add an hour prior for each person's preparations if you'd like a little warm up to get used to being photographed. Definitely allow at least an hour for portraits post ceremony and depending on if you'd like your reception formalities (speeches, cake cut, first dance etc) at least 1-2 hours there.
Lots of factors will mean you need more or less time for parts of the day, so if you're unsure, let's chat about what you have going on and I'll give you my best recommendations to have all the parts you want covered. Generally, 8-10 hours is pretty common coverage and will have a bit of everything covered in your day.
Fun fact, I feel this to my core.
It’s a really vulnerable thing to be photographed and especially on such a significant day, this can feel even more uncomfy!
I always give you gentle direction to ensure you are looking awesome. By focusing on your partner and having fun, your photos will look natural and not posed. Honestly, the less you worry about looking 'perfect' the better.
If you’re here to have the best time and trust me to do my job and make you look top notch!
Need? No. But do you want one? Then yes!
Both of these are wonderful extras to add to your day. A second photographer will help me capture more moments and different angles to add variety to your gallery. They also allow me to be in 2 places at once eg while I'm with you, they can be with your guests during cocktail hour or hanging with your wedding party and all their shenanigans.
Videography is a really great thing to add especially if you have lots of guests who can't be with you on the big day. I have a lot of wonderful recommendations of awesome humans who will make your day even more amazing.
On average, 6-8 weeks is my turn around.
This gives me time to carefully curate and edit the images to look their best for you. It takes a while to get the whole gallery looking consistent when my documentary style is subject to constantly changing light, location and unfolding events.
You’ll always get sneak peeks before the full gallery is sent over because I’m not great at keeping them to myself for long!
Before you know it, you’ll have a private online gallery with your edited images in high res for direct download to your computer. Depending on your package, some include a USB that will have all your high & low res images for safe keeping. You can even purchase high quaility fine art prints to take the guess work out of finding a good printer.
You bet I do!
Let me know who you're looking for; celebrant, florist, gelato cart, dog sitter, cocktail specialist... I'll have some amazing humans to send your way.

As a little thankyou for booking me, I have an extended version of my Hot Tips & Tricks Guide I share with my couples to ensure you get the most out of your wedding photos!
Look, when you know you know, right?
Most couples book me around 12 months in advance so if you are keen to have me along, it’s best to lock me in early. Once you have your date and venue locked in, I’m keen to chat with you and help you figure the rest out.
To lock me in, you’ll need to sign a contract agreeing to some important T’s & C’s and then pay a retainer to hold the date and start the ball rolling with your wedding day timeline creation.
