you've found love...
Neither of you are the same person you were when you first met. You bring out the best in each other. And you know that your life is richer now than before you fell in love. While your story has already begun, your life as a married couple officially starts on the day of your wedding.
Sure, you don’t know exactly what the future holds, or where this incredible journey is taking you… But at your core, you both know it’s meant to be. And you want to cherish this magical day for the rest of your lives. Congratulations! You’re about to write the next chapter of your life.
let me tell your story through photographs
I often say I need the full story before I tell your story, which is why I love to get to know my couples well before the wedding day. But first, here’s what you need to know about me: my approach is comprehensive, caring and committed. Results speak through the photos themselves, as well as the love notes like these, sent from happy couples.
My goal is to preserve your wedding memories so that the love and magical delight of your special day sustains your entire marriage. This means I look for moments that have the power, years later, to bring those happy memories rushing back. It’s my purpose and my privilege. I help couples forever cherish the day they’ve been dreaming about. That’s why my work and customer service doesn’t stop at the goodbye circle. Keep reading to find out how it all works, and what makes my experience different to most others.
about the experience
1. Let's chat
Make sure you take the time to have a good read through this entire page, as it tells you all you need to know. From the customer service you can expect, to answering any faqs, and even starting prices.
Upon your initial enquiry, we’ll have a chat about your wedding day and what you’re looking for in terms of photography.
I’ll send you through my full wedding photography experience guide to look through and discuss with your Fiancé.
2. catch up
You’ve read through all the info I’ve sent you, you’ve fallen in love with my work, I’m offering what you’re looking for, and you’ve discussed everything with your Fiancé 👏
You’re both on board, so it’s time to catch up to make it official! We’ll get to know each other better in person, chat about your beautiful wedding day, do a timeline to help your day run smoothly, and look through some stunning sample albums.
The online booking paperwork will follow this appointment to get you officially booked in! Yay!
3. optional engagement shoot
I adore these shoots because it gives you the opportunity to celebrate your engagement and create some loved up portraits without the timing and location restrictions of a wedding day. And it’s a great excuse to include your furry friends in all the fun! There’s just something about getting dressed up, and spending some quality time together and creating new memories, that I feel makes a significant difference to your wedding photos too. To find out more, take a look here.
4. pre-wedding meeting
About a month before the wedding, we’ll catch up again in person to go through all the final details for your big day.
Prior to this appointment, I’ll send you through an extensive questionnaire to fill in so we don’t miss any important details of your day.
During this appointment, this is also when we book in your album design consultation appointments after your wedding/honeymoon.
5. WEDDING DAY!
Your day is finally here, and you’re getting married! YAY!!! My team are so excited to share such a magical day with you both and your friends and families!
Our standard coverage includes one photographer each during the preparation parts of your wedding day, then from the ceremony onwards, we photograph the day together all the way through to the formal entry of your reception.
Additional coverage can be booked if you’d like to capture more of the reception.
6. album design consults
During your first album design consultation, you’ll get to see all your wedding photos for the first time on the big screen! I’m there to help you every step of the way with choosing the best photos to tell the story of your day. The focus of the 2nd appointment is the design, story and flow of your album. A 50% deposit is required during the design consult, and the balance is due once your album is ready to order. Once the payment is made, your digital images will be sent to you while we wait for your new family heirloom to be printed! You must both be present during these 2 appointments.
7. album collection
Your album and any wall art or parent albums will go into production straight away, and as soon as everything is ready to be collected, I’ll be in touch to arrange an appointment for pick up.
Wedding albums take anywhere between 8-14 weeks, depending on the time of year and workload.
All your albums and artwork come with a lifetime guarantee, and are made from the highest quality materials available, so they can enjoyed for a lifetime.
8. your next milestone
It’s such a privilege to be welcomed back for important life chapters when your family grows.
My services don’t end at the wedding.
I often become my couple’s lifetime photographer as they trust me with bumps and babies, Christenings, milestone birthday parties, family portraits as their family grows and even extended/generations family portraits.
let's tell your story
I’m a photographer who knows the secret to taking incredible wedding photographs, is being able to tell a great story. Whichever wedding collection you choose, my service and process is devoted to detail. Imagine having the kind of photos that evoke – years from now – the emotions that words can’t express? That’s my promise to you.
Once you return from your honeymoon, still basking in wedded bliss, we work together to create your perfect wedding album. Call me professional, call me dedicated, but I insist on doing the things that you’ll be too busy to get to once your wedding is over and you’re building a life, house and family together. (Trust me –life goes on really quick after the wedding, and you’ll be glad I took care of your album for you to enjoy.)
