What areas do you cover?
I shoot weddings all over the world! Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to travel to so many incredible places for couples, including the United States, Mexico, Italy, France, Croatia, Poland, Scotland, Ireland, and more. Whether your wedding is local or overseas, I love capturing love stories wherever they take place—and there’s nothing I enjoy more than exploring new countries and creating memories with amazing couples.
Can we book you for photography or videography only?
Absolutely. While we offer both photography and videography services, you’re more than welcome to book me for just one. I regularly work alongside other photographers and videographers and am very comfortable collaborating as part of a larger team. Whether you’re looking for photography only, videography only, or both, I’m happy to tailor the coverage to what best fits your needs.
Will there be an additional person with you if we book the Photo + Film package?
Yes! When you book our Photo + Film package, there will always be two of us on the day—a dedicated photographer and a dedicated videographer. This allows us to focus 100% on each aspect, ensuring we capture the best possible photos and cinematic footage without compromise. That way, you get the highest quality product in both photo and video, with no moments missed.
Depending on your wedding’s unique needs, we can also provide second shooters for both photo and video. Second shooters are especially helpful not just for larger weddings but also for logistical reasons—such as covering multiple locations, capturing different angles, or ensuring a smooth flow throughout the day.
Do you offer drone photography or videography?
Yes, absolutely. I am a licensed and insured drone operator, and drone footage is available for both photography and videography. When conditions and venue regulations allow, aerial coverage can add a whole new dimension to your photos and films—capturing the scale of your location, unique perspectives, and moments that simply can’t be seen from the ground. I always fly safely and responsibly, ensuring everything is fully compliant while enhancing your final gallery or film.
How long have you been photographing and filming weddings?
I have been passionately immersed in the wedding industry since 2009. Over the years, my dedication to wedding photography has steadily grown, and I now have the privilege of capturing 40 to 60 weddings every season, depending on the year. Despite my extensive experience, I remain humble and committed to continual growth and learning. I firmly believe that every day presents an opportunity to enhance my skills and refine my craft. Whether it’s mastering new equipment and technologies or evolving my shooting techniques, I am dedicated to staying at the forefront of my profession, ensuring that each wedding I capture exceeds expectations.
Full Video Package vs. Hybrid/Fusion Video: What’s the Difference?
When you book my full video package, you get both a dedicated photographer and a dedicated videographer. This means we can each focus 100% on capturing the best possible photos and cinematic footage without compromise. The final result is a beautifully polished highlight film with music, voiceovers, and seamless storytelling.
With the hybrid/fusion video, it’s just me covering both photography and videography at the same time. Since I’m splitting my attention 50/50, the video component is different—it’s more of a chronological highlight reel set to music, rather than a fully produced cinematic film. It’s a great option for couples who primarily want photography but also love the idea of having motion clips from their day.
Are you insured?
Absolutely. I prioritize the utmost professionalism and peace of mind for my clients, which is why I maintain comprehensive insurance coverage. I hold both public liability and professional indemnity insurance, ensuring protection for both myself and my clients throughout the wedding process. Additionally, as a licensed drone pilot, I understand the importance of adhering to regulations and safety measures. Therefore, I also carry drone insurance, meeting the requirements of wedding venues and guaranteeing a seamless and worry-free experience for all involved.
Is there a booking fee?
Yes, to secure your wedding date, I require a booking fee. The specific amount varies depending on the package you select. This booking fee serves to reserve your date exclusively and is deducted from the total balance of your chosen package. The remaining balance is then due 8 weeks prior to your wedding date, ensuring ample time for planning and coordination.
How far in advance do we book?
It’s essential to secure your preferred wedding photographer and/or videographer well in advance, particularly for weekend weddings during the peak season from May to September. I highly recommend initiating your search for favorite suppliers approximately two years before your wedding date. This allows ample time to explore various options, ensure availability, and secure the services of professionals who perfectly align with your vision and expectations.
Should we book an engagement session?
Yes, absolutely! Many couples understandably feel a bit nervous or apprehensive about being photographed, especially if it’s their first time having professional photos taken. Booking an engagement session provides a wonderful opportunity for us to get acquainted with each other. It allows you to become comfortable with me and in front of my camera, ensuring that you feel relaxed and at ease on your wedding day.
Moreover, an engagement session offers a unique chance to capture beautiful moments with your significant other in a more relaxed setting. These photos will serve as cherished memories of this special time in your lives, providing a wonderful keepsake for years to come.
Should we book a second photographer / videographer?
The decision to book a second photographer or videographer ultimately depends on the size and dynamics of your wedding. While not every wedding requires a second shooter, there are significant benefits to consider, especially for larger weddings.
Second photographers or videographers can provide invaluable support in capturing all the special moments of your big day from multiple angles and perspectives. Here are some advantages of having two professionals:
Expanded Coverage: For larger weddings, it can be challenging for a single photographer or videographer to capture every moment. Having a second shooter ensures that no detail goes unnoticed, and all the joy and excitement of your celebration are beautifully documented.
Different Perspectives: With two professionals on hand, you’ll receive a diverse range of shots and angles, adding depth and variety to your wedding album or video.
Simultaneous Coverage: While one photographer focuses on capturing formal family photos, the second shooter can discreetly document candid moments and interactions among your guests, ensuring that no memorable moment is missed.
Comprehensive Storytelling: By splitting up to cover both partners getting ready, a second photographer or videographer can provide a comprehensive narrative of your wedding day, capturing the anticipation, nerves, and excitement from both sides.
Backup and Support: In addition to expanding coverage, having a second shooter also serves as a backup in case of any unforeseen circumstances or technical issues, providing added peace of mind for you and ensuring a seamless photography or videography experience.
Ultimately, whether to book a second photographer or videographer is a personal choice, but it’s worth considering the benefits they can bring to your wedding day memories.
How long will it take to get our photos / films?
At our studio, we prioritize delivering exceptional quality while ensuring a timely delivery of your wedding photos and videos. However, the exact turnaround time can vary based on factors such as the current workload and the complexity of the editing process.
Wedding photography and videography are specialized fields, particularly during the peak season from May to September, when demand is high. As we meticulously edit each image and film ourselves to uphold our standard of excellence, our turnaround times reflect the dedication and attention to detail we devote to every project.
Our standard delivery time for photos is 12 weeks, while videos typically take 16 weeks to complete. This extended timeframe for videos is due to the intricacies involved in shooting and editing, which require additional time and effort to ensure a captivating and polished final product.
While we aim to exceed your expectations and often deliver ahead of schedule, we encourage you to keep these estimated delivery times in mind to avoid disappointment. Rest assured, we’ll keep you updated throughout the process and strive to deliver your wedding memories promptly and beautifully crafted to our highest standards.
How do we book?
To secure your wedding date and ensure my availability, I recommend reaching out to me as soon as possible through my contact page. Given the high demand for wedding photographers and videographers, particularly during peak seasons, it’s advisable to initiate the booking process early.
Once you’ve contacted me and confirmed my availability for your wedding date, we’ll schedule a convenient time to chat in more detail. During this consultation, we’ll discuss your vision, preferences, and any specific requirements you may have. This conversation will provide you with valuable insights into my approach and style, helping you make an informed decision about proceeding with a booking.
Will the photos be candid?
Wedding photography has evolved significantly in recent years, moving beyond traditional staged group photos to embrace a more authentic and storytelling approach. At our studio, we understand that every wedding is unique, and we tailor our approach to suit the individual preferences and vision of each couple.
Before your wedding day, we prioritize getting together to discuss your specific vision and requirements. This allows us to understand your expectations and preferences fully. We specialize in storytelling wedding photography, focusing on capturing genuine moments and emotions in a relaxed documentary style.
Our goal is for you to enjoy your special day surrounded by loved ones while we discreetly document the moments as they naturally unfold. We strive to be unobtrusive, ensuring that your wedding day remains about you and your celebration. While we may offer guidance or suggestions when needed, we believe in allowing events to flow organically, capturing the authentic essence of your wedding day.
Ultimately, our aim is to provide you with timeless photos and videos that you can cherish forever, reflecting the true spirit and joy of your wedding day.
Are you on social media?
Yes, absolutely! Social media is a fantastic platform for staying updated with my latest work and behind-the-scenes moments. While I may not always have the opportunity to blog full weddings on my website, particularly during the busy peak season, I make it a priority to share highlights and sneak peeks on my Instagram and Facebook accounts.
Following me on social media is a great way to get a glimpse into my creative process, see recent projects, and stay connected with the latest updates and announcements. Whether you’re looking for inspiration or simply want to stay in the loop, I invite you to join me on Instagram and Facebook for a closer look at my work.
Do we need to feed you on the day? Do you have any specific requirements?
I must admit, I have a soft spot for good food, especially when working hard to capture the magic of your wedding day. While I don’t necessarily require a lavish three-course meal, I truly appreciate being provided with a hot meal during the festivities.
Having a hot meal ensures that I can recharge and continue to provide you with exceptional service throughout the day. As for specific dietary requirements, I’m happy to say that I have no restrictions or allergies, so you can rest assured that any meal provided will be thoroughly enjoyed.
Your thoughtfulness in providing a meal is greatly appreciated and contributes to a positive and enjoyable experience for all involved.
What happens if your camera breaks?
Rest assured, I come prepared for any situation, including equipment malfunctions. I bring three cameras, multiple flashguns, lenses, and an abundance of memory cards and batteries to every wedding. This level of preparation ensures that I can seamlessly continue capturing your special moments in the unlikely event of a camera or equipment failure.
With redundancy built into my gear setup, you can trust that I have backup options readily available to maintain uninterrupted coverage of your wedding day. Your peace of mind is paramount to me, and I am committed to delivering exceptional service and ensuring that your memories are captured flawlessly, regardless of any unforeseen circumstances.
I know your style is quite natural, but will you take formal/group photos?
Absolutely! While my style leans towards capturing natural, candid moments, I understand the importance of formal/group photos for preserving cherished memories with family and friends. I’m more than happy to accommodate your preferences and capture these special moments for you.
To ensure efficiency and minimize disruption to your day, I suggest limiting the number of different combinations of people to ten or fewer. However, I’m flexible and will gladly accommodate any additional group photos if you’ve allocated time for them in your schedule.
I’m skilled at swiftly organizing and capturing group photos, aiming to complete them within approximately 20 minutes. To streamline the process, I may suggest re-ordering the photos to optimize efficiency, and I kindly ask for your assistance in assigning an usher or someone to help gather and organize the groups.
Your satisfaction and peace of mind are my top priorities, and I’m committed to ensuring that your formal/group photos are captured seamlessly and efficiently while preserving the joy and essence of your wedding day.
Do you need to do a site visit before photographing our wedding?
While I understand the importance of familiarizing oneself with the wedding venue beforehand, I typically do not conduct site visits. The reason being that many factors that significantly impact the photographs, such as lighting conditions, are highly variable and subject to change day to day.
For instance, the quality and direction of light can vary depending on the weather, time of day, and time of year. Additionally, the surroundings and ambiance of the venue may differ, from seasonal changes in foliage to the presence of temporary structures such as catering vans.
Given my extensive experience photographing weddings, I’ve developed a keen eye for assessing venues and lighting conditions on the fly. This allows me to adapt quickly and flexibly to the environment, ensuring that I capture stunning photographs regardless of the circumstances.
My priority is to deliver exceptional results while minimizing any potential disruptions to your wedding day. By relying on my expertise and adaptability, I can confidently navigate any challenges and seize the unique opportunities presented by your venue and surroundings.
What happens if you’re ill on our wedding day?
While I’ve had the privilege of photographing over 500 weddings without ever missing a day, I understand the importance of planning for unforeseen circumstances. In the unlikely event that I am unable to photograph your wedding due to illness or any other emergency, rest assured that I have contingency measures in place to ensure that your special day is captured seamlessly.
As a member of several networks of photographers, I have access to a pool of talented professionals who can step in to cover in case of an emergency. These networks serve as a safety net, providing reassurance that someone experienced and capable will be available to document your wedding day, should the need arise.
While I always strive to be present and fully prepared to capture your memories, my commitment to delivering exceptional service extends to ensuring that contingency plans are in place to safeguard against any unforeseen circumstances. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to ensuring that your wedding day is documented with care and professionalism, regardless of any challenges that may arise.
