Frequently Asked Questions

That's fantastic! I am very happy and honoured that you would like me to be your photographer. Get in touch, and we can set a meeting over a coffee so I can hear all about your plans. During the meeting, you can sign my contract, and pay the deposit so you can officially book the date.

This is probably the most common question asked, and completely normal. Unless you are a model, you are not used to having your pictures taken. But don't worry, I shoot candidly and capture the reactions while they happen. During the wedding, at times, you probably won't know I'm there. This is why engagement and pre-wedding shoots are an excellent idea, as you will become used to being in front of the camera. When taking individual portraits for example, I will do some directing or show you some simple poses to get the best looking images possible. It's very relaxed and natural. I don't want you feeling worried or stressed about the photos, but to enjoy your once in a lifetime day to the fullest!
I often hear from my clients that they are surprised at how easy and relaxed they felt during the shoot.
-
Yes I do. Infact, I include them in most of my wedding packages. A pre-wedding shoot is an excellent way to get to know your photographer, and get used to being in front of the camera. This also has a huge benefit during the wedding day, as we can get photos quicker as we already understand each other. Apart from all this, you can also use some photos from the pre-wedding shoot at the reception, or have some beautiful wall art installed at your home.

Obviously, it all depends on your particular wedding details. To get a rough idea of the wedding coverage needed, you at least need ceremony start and end time, reception start time and location, and cake cutting. This will give us an initial indication of how many hours are needed. Usually, for the getting ready portion of the day, I would suggest at the very least adding 3 hours to the coverage, especially if the bride and groom are getting ready at different locations.

All images I deliver, have been individually selected amongst a series of images, and edited to get them looking as best as they can.

There is no actual limit of the number of photos you will receive in your gallery. This applies to both the pre-wedding session as well as your wedding. Basically, part of my editing process is going through all of the photos captured during the day and selecting all of the good ones (while removing any duplicates, bad expressions etc..). From this selection, these will be edited as per my usual style. Just as a rough guideline, you can expect anywhere between 40-80 photos per hour of coverage. This obviously varies greatly and depends on the wedding.
-
You can expect to get your awesome wedding pics in around 2 or 3 weeks! I totally get you're itching to see them, and I'm on it ASAP. As your wedding photographer, my goal is to give you the best service possible, which is why I deliver your gallery within just a few weeks.
-
When final payment has been made and the images have been delivered, the Bride & Groom can share and print at their leisure, without any further cost. I do offer printing services for albums and wall canvases and clusters, but there is no obligation to do so.
-
For weddings, I do have an assistant to help me out during the day with group photos, lighting gear etc. She also happens to be my wife :)
I am also the only photographer taking your pictures during the wedding. I believe that you chose me to be your photographer for my style, creativeness and vision, and that would be compromised with another photographer.
-
In short, yes! Black and white is a big part of my style. All of your photos are edited and delivered in colour, while you will also receive around 15% of black and white copies as well.
-
Yes I do. And I absolutely love them. For more information, head over to this page.
