Do you also offer video?
Yes! My partner does and I think we make a pretty great team. She keeps complements how I work and keeps it relaxed & easy, plus her work is amazing (I admit I might be biased though). For more information about her work and packages, click here

Are you vaccinated?
Yes! I’m happy to say that myself and my team are fully vaccinated and ready to photograph your wedding whether we are in Red/Orange/Green covid settings.

Help me find a wedding venue?
Happy to help - I’ve actually made some lists of my favourite Auckland wedding venues you can check out here. I’ve also made a list of my top Kumeu Wedding venues here and my top Waiheke Island venues here.

Can I see some full weddings galleries?
Sure thing, you can check out a couple of recent full weddings here and here. Always happy to share full galleries for you to check out.

How many images do we get?
More than you’ll know what to do with! I don’t cull it down to a particular number, basically, if I think you’ll want the image, I will spend the time to edit and deliver that image to you.

How would you describe your shooting style, do you pose?
I take a documentary/fine art approach. This means that the only time I'll be 'posing' (directing) you is during the photoshoot, the rest of the day I'm unobtrusively capturing moments.

I don't 'pose' my couples like puppets, that being said I also won't leave you alone and clueless. I will typically put you where the light is epic and then guide you in a direction (e.g. 'facing each other, holding hands') which will make best use of the light and look best in the scene. I'm all about creating a fun environment where you can be yourselves together and I can be there capturing that interaction. 

If there is something that looks out of place or weird I'll be sure to let you know. I strive to capture natural moments and have found that this is the best way to do this. 

I've seen this video of you frolicking and pirouetting your way through a field while photographing a couple... is that for real?
100%, it is something I keep in my bag of tricks and pull out when I feel the occasion is appropriate. Spontaneous fits of interpretive dance are to be expected on the location shoot and the dance floor and are sure to make you laugh, you were warned.

Do you photoshop images?
I work hard on the day to get it right in-camera, using flattering light, camera angles, lens choice, etc. The way that I shoot and edit naturally creates flattering images. I don’t retouch, airbrush, or photoshop images. I really believe people are beautiful the way they are, and that is how I capture them - in their happiest of moments, truly themselves.

Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes yes yes, I think they are fantastic. It's a great chance to hang out, get to know how I work, and get you some quality photos for those wedding invites.

Can we meet you?
You sure can, in fact I make it a requirement to meet all my couples before I let them book me in. Making sure we’re a good fit is super important to me. I do these meetings via Zoom/Facetime so I can fit in more meetings per week.

How do we book you in and secure the date?
I work on a first in, first served basis - whoever is first to both place the deposit and sign the wedding agreement gets the date.

How long will it take to get our wedding images?
You will receive a selection of sneak peeks within a few days of your wedding and the rest of the wedding images will be ready 8-10 weeks after your wedding date (depending on time of year).

Do you travel?
During my main wedding season (October-April) I try to stick to Auckland weddings, however in my off season I’m able to fit in more travel!

Do you have insurance & backup gear?
Big yes! All of my gear is insured, and I also carry a cheeky $2 million of Public Liability Insurance. I always have backup gear with me on a wedding day - multiple camera bodies, lenses, backups of everything. Don’t you worry, I run a tight ship and don’t take any unnecessary risks.

Do you backup your photos?
1000%, I am a backup nerd. I could bore you with all the details of my complex backup processes, using words like Network Attached Storage, RAID drives, offsite & cloud backups, but let me just put it like this… I worry about these things so that you don’t have to, your images will be safe with me.

Are you going to get drunk at my wedding?
Not a chance, I don't drink, in fact I don't even drink anything with bubbles. It's always a still water for me or if I’m feeling a little wild, I’ll do a cranberry juice.
