with any other burning questions.

What is the best time for group/family photos?

Before food and drink is served, and right after the ceremony! People will follow you as you leave the ceremony, so take advantage of that while you can. It can be fairly hard to wrangle people once they have a drink in their hand.

Should I have a rehearsal?

A rehearsal is important even just for getting your music and timing for entering right! Completely worth taking the time to know what you are doing on the day.

Is getting ready photography even necessary?

Getting ready photographs aren’t for everyone. Everyone is different with what they want and need. I usually only recommend getting ready images if you are getting ready with people extremely special to you.

When can I expect to get my images?

I generally provide a sneak peek the day after your wedding, the slideshow a week afterwards, and your full gallery within a month! I always communicate if these timeframes end up being a little later than expected.

What if my wedding is cancelled or postponed?

You will not be left in the lurch! All situations are different and I will make sure to work with you to the best of my abilities to make sure we sus something out!

Do you travel for weddings?

I most certainly do travel! I do weddings all over the country. There may be a travel fee for outside of mid canterbury.

Do you do elopements?

Yes I certainly can! I have acted as a witness in the past. Just flick me an email with your plans and I can arrange a custom quote.

How many photos will I get?

All of the refined best. There is no limit as to what you can expect to receive. You will receive both colour and black and white options of your images.

What do your wedding photography packages include?

All packages include travel within the Banks Peninsula, Amberley and Rolleston area. You’ll receive all your images on a digital (online) album with a slideshow showing the highlights of your day. My 6 hour package includes prints and usb, where printed and published items are an optional extra.

I’m no good in front of the camera, how can I relax?

Honestly, this is what I’m here for! It’s my job as a photographer to help you forget the camera is even there. I generally get couples to focus on each-other, especially if they are more introverted. Engagement photos are a great idea to help feel a bit more comfortable with a camera too. Ultimately, you do NOT need to worry about this. Just focus on that wonderful best friend beside you, I’ll do the rest.
