-
Are you available on our wedding date?I try to keep my booking calendar on my website up to date, but please check my availability, simply share your wedding date and location. I’ll confirm as soon as possible, and if I’m available, we can move forward with securing your date!
-
Where are you located and do you travel?I'm based in Forest Lake, Hamilton (in the Waikato). I can definitely travel for your big day! Free within Hamilton. A small mileage charge apply for areas beyond Hamilton ($1 per km travelled).
-
Do you offer payment options? When is the final payment due?Yes. You can choose to make several or monthly payments leading up to your wedding, which helps spread out the cost. The final payment is due 1 month before your big day. To secure your date, a non-refundable 25% retainer is required. All payments are via bank deposit.
-
Where can we see examples of your Wedding Photography and what's your style?You can explore my Wedding Photography Portfolio, featuring a diverse range of weddings with various atmospheres and weather conditions. I love capturing candid moments and documenting the day as it unfolds naturally, minimising posed shots. My approach is to blend seamlessly into the background, allowing genuine emotions and interactions to shine through. Of course, I’m always here to offer gentle guidance when needed, ensuring that your special moments are beautifully captured while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable. My editing style is warm and natural, with a focus on enhancing the emotions of each moment, while balancing vibrant colours with soft tones. My goal is to create images that feel genuine and intimate, capturing the true essence of your special day. Check out my Wedding Photography Portfolio here.
-
Can we customise our Wedding Photography Package to fit our needs?Absolutely! Each wedding is unique, so I offer custom quotes and add-ons to perfectly fit your special day. The packages listed are just starting points, and I’m happy to provide additional hours or services at a custom rate. Feel free to reach out about tailoring any package to meet your needs.
-
What can we expect from our Pre-Wedding Planning with you?Complimentary Call: Let’s connect to ensure we’re a great fit. You can book your call directly or message me first—whichever you prefer. Share your plans and dates, and feel free to ask any questions during our chat. This no-obligation call is the perfect chance to see if we align. When you’re ready to book, I’ll be there to guide and support you every step of the way. Pre-Wedding Planning Meeting: We can meet for coffee at a local Hamilton café or have a chat over the phone or via an online call. I understand the importance of timing and coordination to capture those perfect moments, and I’m here to ensure your planning process is smooth and enjoyable. Feel free to connect with me on Instagram or Facebook for any questions or updates.
-
What is your cancellation policy?If you need to cancel or reschedule your booking, please let me know as soon as possible. I understand that plans can change, and I’ll do my best to accommodate rescheduling based on my availability. The initial retainer is non-refundable, as it works as a fee for holding the date, and serves as liquidated damages in the event of client cancellation (whereby no one else could book my services). You might also be concerned about what happens if I’m unable to shoot your wedding due to an emergency. While it’s highly unlikely, if unforeseen circumstances prevent me from being there, I will do my utmost to secure a replacement photographer to capture your day. In the rare event that a replacement cannot be arranged, all payments made, including your retainer, will be fully refunded.
-
When will we receive our Wedding Photos and how will they be delivered?After your wedding, sharing those special moments with your family and friends is a wonderful way to continue celebrating your day. I aim to provide you with sneak peeks within 3 days. You'll receive the full gallery within 3 to 5 weeks, though it may be even sooner. Once your photos are edited, they will be uploaded to an online gallery for easy sharing, viewing and downloading. If you prefer, you can opt to receive them solely through online transfer. Each package guarantees a minimum number of edited photos, but you’re likely to receive more. There are always extra moments I wouldn’t want you to miss!
-
Do you work with second photographers and assistants?Yes, I do! For large weddings, or where additional coverage is needed, I can bring along a second shooter or an assistant. This ensures we capture every angle and all the special moments of your day. If you're interested in adding a second photographer or assistant, just let me know, and we can discuss the add-on options available.
-
What can we expect from our Engagement / Pre-Wedding Shoot?A relaxed, enjoyable experience designed to capture your genuine connection. This 30 min Outdoor Portrait Session is complimentary and optional! You'll receive 10 beautifully edited digital images, access to an online gallery where you can select your favourite photos, share and download. Here’s what you can expect: Comfort in front of the camera – This session is the perfect opportunity to get comfortable before the big day. I’ll guide you with natural prompts to help you feel at ease, so you can be yourselves in front of the lens. Personalised experience – The session is exclusively for you as a couple, but you can also choose to include children or pets for a small fee. It’s all about capturing your story and making it feel personal. Stunning location options – Sessions are held in Hamilton, but happy to travel for just $1 per km, so you can choose a location that’s meaningful to you. Quality images to cherish – You’ll receive 10 professionally edited photos, but if you love the entire gallery, you have the option to purchase more or even print them for lasting memories. You'll have access to an online gallery where you can select your favourite photos, share and download. It’s a fun, stress-free way to capture this special chapter in your life and build confidence for your wedding day photography!
-
Do you offer highlight videos or content creation?Yes! You can book me as a content creator even without a photography package, or add this service to your photography package for the day. I offer 4K videos captured on an iPhone or full-frame camera, with the option to receive fully edited videos or just the raw footage. This service is growing in popularity, so feel free to reach out for more details!
