      I take on a limited amount of weddings each year so I can give each of my couples the care & attention they deserve - so if you’re wanting to work together, get in touch as soon as possible. I have a few 2023 dates still available, otherwise booking into 2024.

      The majority of the day I take on a photo-documentary approach. I simply photograph the day as it unfolds. When it comes to your couples portraits, I keep prompts fun & light-hearted. I’ll also mix in some some more romantic, cinematic photos as well! I want to make sure that when you reflect back on your wedding day, the moments feel natural & honest.

      I require a 50% deposit to secure your date (as well as a signed contract), the remaining payment is due 4 weeks prior to your wedding date. I prioritize e-transfers, but I do accept credit cards upon request. I’m happy to provide payment plans.

      I send my couples a sample of 20+ sneak peek images the week following their wedding, the full gallery takes me about 10 weeks to finalize. For couple’s & engagement sessions, my turnaround is about 3-4 weeks.

      Typically around 50 images per hour, give or take. ie. for an 8 hour wedding you can expect 400-500 images.

      I deliver roughly 30% black & white, and 70% coloured images.

      I am confident in shooting most weddings on my own, but if you have a guest list of 80-100+ people, I highly suggest investing in a second shooter. There are many opportunities when we can divide and conquer (i.e. getting ready photos, first look vantage points). A second photographer also focuses on getting more detail shots, as well as guest candids. I would take care of all the booking details, as well as the editing of all the extra images. Everything will be delivered as one full, cohesive gallery.

      Yes, your gallery will include downloads for both web resolution (for website & social sharing) and high resolution (for printing) options.
