Frequently Asked Questions

  • My style is photojournalistic meaning that I observe, anticipate and capture moments as they naturally unfold. I find that’s the best way to tell an authentic story. Sometimes I’ll shoot from far away to get an epic wide shot of the landscape or environment and at other times I’ll be up close in the thick of the action or positioned amongst your guests so you can see how they experienced the day. When it comes to bridal party and family photos I’m happy to provide direction and guidance to keep things on track, but my priority is staying out of the way so you can relax and enjoy all the beautiful moments of the day.

  • Absolutely! As long as you love each other and want to celebrate with your nearest and dearest that’s all the matters. View the gallery for one of my favourite same sex weddings: George & Isabelle

  • Confetti cannons for the ceremony and bottles of bubbly to spray Formula 1 style during bridal party photos are always winners!

  • I know you’ll be excited to see what I’ve captured so within the first few days of the wedding I’ll send through some sneak peeks for you to enjoy and share. I’ll then deliver all your edited images 4-6 weeks later via a password-protected online gallery which is awesome for many reasons:

    • It's hosted up in the cloud so your photos will be safe from fire or theft

    • It gives you instant access to your images wherever you are across both desktop and mobile devices

    • It can be shared with your friends, family and anyone you send the link and password to

    • It lets you tag images as private so no other visitors to your gallery can see them

    • It provides high resolution downloads

    • It includes an amazing print store where you and your guests can order photos and wall prints as souvenirs of the big day

    • Your gallery will remain online for at least a year giving you plenty of time to download the images and make use of the features.

  • If photos are important to you and you're looking to invest in a great photographer then your favourite images deserve to be showcased in a beautifully crafted, fine art album that complements the quality of the images. A professional album also protects and preserves your favourite images and will always provide a thrilling experience as the pages are turned for generations to come.

    Albums are also futureproof. Can you imagine trying to read a floppy disk now? And who knows if Facebook and Instagram will still be around when your grandkids ask to see your wedding photos?

    To provide the best experience possible all my albums are crafted by Queensberry of New Zealand, widely regarded as the finest album company in the world.

  • Sorry, no. Photographers and videographers see and capture moments in very different ways so it’s better if we stick to what we’re best at.

  • Don’t. Even. Go. There.

  • I would honestly love to wear a suit but it’s just not practical, so I go for a mix of style and comfort. For summer weddings it’s a preppy vibe of a polo, chinos and white sneakers. As the weather cools I’m adding a deconstructed jacket or velvet blazer, but if you’re having a winter wedding in Canberra or the snowy mountains I’m totally rugging up! #sorrynotsorry

  • Yes, I have public liability insurance of $10 million and can provide your venue with a certificate if required.

  • It depends. I love the opportunity to travel so if your wedding is within two hours drive from Canberra (e.g. Southern Highlands, Braidwood, Gundagai) there are no additional costs.

    However, for adventures further afield a travel fee will apply depending on the distance involved and how many nights accommodation may be required.

    If you're getting married interstate or overseas then return airfares, car hire and two nights accommodation will need to be factored in.

  • Sorry, my prices are fixed in order to be fair to all my couples. Plus, would you do your job for less money?

  • In most cases, yes please. I burn heaps of calories being on my feet all day so if I’m going to be with you through your reception I would love a main course (venues refer to them as crew meals) for myself and my second photographer (if you’ve booked one).

    It would also be awesome if my meal can be served at the same time as yours, not because I think I’m special but so that we finish eating at the same time. That way I can be ready to capture you mingling with your guests or delivering a speech.

    If you’re having a short wedding or if I’m finishing my coverage before your meal service starts you’re off the hook :)

  • For sure! I've made lots of great friends in the Canberra wedding community and you can find my favourites on my Canberra Weddings page. If you contact any of them, please let them know I helped you to find them :)

  • That’s great to hear! Well first of all please get in touch to check if I’m available for your big day. If I am then we’ll set up a time to meet in person or over Skype so we can get to know each other, chat about your wedding plans and go through any questions you have for me. Simples!
