ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes. I photograph silently for much of the day, particularly during ceremonies and quieter moments.

Being unobtrusive is a big part of the way I work. The less aware people are of the camera, the more natural everything becomes.

For an eight hour wedding, I generally deliver around 900 to 1100 individually edited photographs.

Every wedding is different though, so I don’t work towards a particular number. I photograph what happens and tell the story properly.

Your finished photographs are delivered through a private online gallery, usually within one to two weeks of your wedding.

I don’t deliver RAW or unfinished photographs.

Editing is an important part of how I create the final image and I’ve spent many years developing the colour, tone and overall feel you see throughout my work.

Every photograph you receive is individually selected and finished as part of the complete story.

I keep things natural.

I’ll happily remove temporary things such as a pimple, bruise or something distracting, but I don’t fundamentally change the way somebody looks.

If there’s something you feel self conscious about, tell me. I can usually take care of it through the way I photograph rather than trying to change you afterwards.

Absolutely.

If you connect with my work and the way I photograph weddings, I’d love to document yours.

Absolutely.

I normally photograph family groups shortly after the ceremony and keep the process simple and efficient so you can get back to enjoying your guests.

I usually recommend keeping the formal list reasonably short. There will be plenty of opportunities throughout the rest of the day for photographs with the people you love.

Not for the documentary parts of the day.

I don’t want to spend your wedding working through a checklist and looking for photographs that may or may not actually reflect what is happening.

For family photos, absolutely. We’ll organise a short list beforehand so those photographs are covered efficiently.

For everything else, I’d rather stay present, watch what is unfolding and photograph the things that are genuinely happening around you.

Usually around 15 to 20 minutes is plenty.

I don’t believe in disappearing for an hour while your guests are enjoying cocktail hour without you. I’d much rather keep portraits relaxed, simple and part of the natural flow of the day.

Depending on the light, we might also sneak out for another five or ten minutes around sunset.

That gives us enough time to create something beautiful without making the photography take over your wedding.

Yes.

Your photographs deserve to exist somewhere other than a screen, so professionally made wedding albums are available after your gallery has been delivered.

You can choose your favourite photographs, design and order an album from within your gallery.

Wear something that feels like you.

I generally recommend keeping things fairly simple and avoiding large logos or anything overly busy. Natural and earthy colours photograph beautifully, particularly around the Southern Highlands and South Coast.

Most importantly, choose clothes you feel comfortable in. If you feel like yourself, you’ll look like yourself.

I’m based between the Southern Highlands and South Coast of New South Wales and photograph a lot of weddings throughout Bowral, Berrima, Berry, Kangaroo Valley and the surrounding areas.

I also photograph weddings throughout Sydney, greater NSW and Australia, so location is never much of a barrier.

I photograph weddings digitally, although the look of film has always influenced the way I edit.

I love its softness, texture and natural colour, and my editing has been developed over many years with that feeling in mind.

For weddings, digital also gives me the reliability and flexibility I want when documenting moments that only happen once.

If you’d like to know more about why I made that choice, you can read my Digital with a Film Soul article.

Once you’ve chosen the coverage that suits your wedding, a $1000 booking fee and signed agreement secures the date.

From there I’ll help with the photography side of your timeline and anything else I can offer along the way, including recommendations and advice from more than 20 years of photographing weddings.

After the wedding I’ll send through some previews while everything is still fresh, with your complete gallery generally delivered within one to two weeks.

I offer a small number of coverage options depending on how much of the day you’d like documented.

Most couples choose around eight hours, which gives enough time to tell the story from preparations through to the reception without the day feeling dictated by photography.

For current pricing and everything included, get in touch and I’ll send through my wedding information pack.

Average spend is $5250
