FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTION
ANSWER
Where are you based?
Currently based on the Central Coast of Australia. Frequently I travel to Sydney and the Hunter.
Do you travel for sessions? How much does it cost?
Yes, I love to travel! There is no extra fee for the Central Coast region but for anything out of the area, there is an additional fee. I'm also open to shooting weddings both nationally and internationally and the travel can be very affordable. Contact me via email for a travel quote.
How do we book?
Booking is super easy! Send me an email to see if your preferred date is available. Once your session has been penciled in, I will send you a deposit email and contract to sign and we can lock it in. I’m also happy to catch up for a coffee if you would prefer to have a chat before you sign anything.
How much is the deposit? Is it refundable and how quick will I have to pay it?
It is best to pay the deposit as soon as you make your final decision, as your deposit secures the date of your booking. The deposit is $500 and is non refundable and the final amount is due 2 weeks before your wedding date. We can also arrange to set up a payment plan if required.
Can we meet before the wedding?
We sure can. I love to meet my clients before the wedding. If distance is an issue, Skype is also a great option.
When will I receive wedding photographs?
You will except to receive your photographs within 6-8weeks. The photos will be sized for print, so you can print your photos as many times as you like. They will also be resized for social media and email. So you can share your images as soon as you get them. You choose between an online gallery or USB.
How many photographs will I receive?
Every wedding, family session and elopement is unique. So there is never a set amount of images. You will receive images that I have carefully selected, edited and finished. For weddings approximately 500-1000 images.
Do you offer Albums or Prints?
Yes I offer both! There is something so special about having a tangible record of your special day. Albums start at $800. Contact me via email for more information on printing and albums.
What happens if it rains on the day of our wedding or engagement shoot?
I will try my best to come up with a \"wet weather\" option. We can work together to come up with a good solution that you are happy with. I also always carry clear umbrellas, just incase.
How about same-sex Marriage?
Australia has finally legalised same-sex marriage and I was very excited when it was announced. All love deserves to be celebrated and I'm looking forward to shooting same-sex weddings as time comes.
We don’t really like wedding photos where the couple are posing and forcing the smiling in every photo.
I feel the same way. I won't be making you smile for every photo. For most of the day you won't notice that I am there. I enjoy stepping back and shooting in a candid style. When it comes to couple portraits, I can give you direction so you feel comfortable and natural.
How much is the deposit? Is it refundable and how quick will I have to pay it?
It is best to pay the deposit as soon as you make your final decision. As your deposit secures the date of your booking. The deposit is $500 and is non refundable.
When do I pay the final amount?
The outstanding amount is due 2 weeks before your wedding date. I can also help you set up a payment plan.
Do you shoot with a second photographer?
Sometimes I shoot with a second shooter. It depends on the size and complexity of the wedding. Just remember I can't be in two places at once. We can discuss together if a second shooter would be suitable for your wedding. A second shooter is available for most weddings as a seperate fee.
