What you actually get….
Timeline advice & kick-arse vendor recommendations.
This is not my first rodeo. I’ve seen weddings run every which way. Use me - and my extensive knowledge base.
All the pre-wedding banter you need.
Questions? Timeline worries? Vendor dilemmas? Use me. I've done this a few times now and I'm always happy to help.
Me. My cameras. And my stealthy ninja skills.
No associates. No random photographer you’ve never met. Just me, from our first email to your final gallery.
Calm in the chaos.
I'll keep an eye on the little things, remind you to actually eat something, make sure you've got a drink in your hand, and quietly solve problems before you even know they exist.
Professional wrangler of people, kids, grandparents and overly enthusiastic Labradors. I’ve become pretty good at reading the room, getting people where they need to be, and knowing exactly when to blend into the background.
Zero awkward posing. Just enough direction so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands!!
Sneaky little moments you'll never even realise I captured. Because some of the best photos happen when nobody thinks they’re being photographed.
Dance floor hype. One of my favourite places to be. If you’re out there having the time of your life, there’s a pretty good chance I’ll be right in the thick of it too.
Every image edited with my own love, heart and soul. No outsourcing. Every single photo is edited by me… because your story deserves my full attention.
Probably more photos than you need. Because it’s important to me that I capture ALL your people and all those little in-between moments that makes your day truly yours.
A beautiful online gallery. Packed with high-resolution edited images, easy downloads, easy sharing, and a build-in print shop.
A photogrpaher who genuinely gives a shit. About your day. Your people. And making sure you have the bloody best time.
Extras
2nd Shooter - I can generally cover everything on my own. The only time I would recommend a 2nd shooter is if you’re having more than 130 guests or if your prep locations are quite a distance apart. from $150/hr (depending on dates and experience of the second shooter)
Albums - I’m old school and a paper snob!! The albums are just stunning and so much better than swiping on a screen!! Go HERE for more info.
Don’t just take my word for it…
(aka 5 star reviews)
Another thing…
you might be thinking is …
‘I HATE having my photo taken.’
‘We’re super awkward.’
‘We’ll be shit in front of the camera.’
‘We hate posing.’
etc etc - you get the gist.
Nearly every couple says some version of this to me.
And yet.
They nail their photos.
Every time.
(see above slideshow - again - in case you missed it ;) )
What I want most for you, is that you just do you.
I’m not going to make you start doing weird shit (well not too weird*) all of a sudden, that you wouldn’t normally do.
*weird shit
Let me explain.
Just having a camera in your face may feel a bit weird.
But I have a strictly ‘no posing’ policy…
(ok - so when I say ‘strictly’, that’s not strictly true - am more than happy to put my director’s hat on and get all creative with you…I also know how to read a room and generally know how far to push you!! or not!… see below)
I may give a bit of direction…. but that is all.
And with that direction we can get as creative or as candid as you want.
I might get you to stand in amongst some beautiful smoke trees (my new favourite plant) - that might feel a bit weird.
Or twirl in front of a roller door.
Or stand ‘yes, right there - no left a bit, no right a bit’.
It all might feel a bit weird…
…but I promise you, it will be worth it.
And that’s just for the portraits.
For the rest of the time I’ll have my ninja skates on, documenting the love, the laughs, the tears, the nana naps, the nose picking, the bum scratching, the shot taking, the sneaky snogging, the dad dancing, the beer sculling, the cake scoffing, the bear hugging, the high fiving. the story telling.
Yup, I’l be there to get all of that.
*** no posing or direction was done in any of the following images ***
You’ve probably never done anything like this before - organise a wedding - and it can be pretty bloody daunting.
I’m not going to ramble on about how I’m super relaxed, not pushy, work like a ninja, pretty flipping good at getting on with ALL your family, oh and take super creative, yet super candid photos.
Nope. Not gonna mention any of that!
What I am going to say is this.... this is YOUR day.
And you should do it how you bloody well want to. You may get a bit of push back leading up to your wedding - but on the actual day, all those nay- sayers will be so blown away, and caught up with all the feels, that they will have forgotten any doubts.
