MY STYLE
My photography style can be described as a combination of ethereal and documentary. Creatively, I am equally drawn to documenting fleeting moments and creating classic, beautifully styled wedding portraits. My aim is always to capture the personal and the genuine. I see myself as a non-invasive observer, overlooking a beautiful love story as it unfolds. My images are soft, romantic and can be slightly moody at times if the scene calls for it.
In my opinion, the magic lies in a cohesive collaboration between photographer and client. Although weddings mostly follow the same rhythm, every nuptial celebration is unique and, as such, I believe in getting to know my client before the big day so that I can find out exactly what their individual expectations are.
This way I'll know if you adore posing for a stylised portrait that you will be able to show off to your grandkids one day, or if you tend to bolt for the door when someone pulls out a camera (or perhaps a little bit of both). I let all of these aspects and client preferences guide me on the wedding day and then I impart my own unique flavour to present you with beautiful, precious memories that will last a lifetime.
MY APPROACH
I am here to serve you and to provide you with images that make your heart sing & dance of memories that can be cherished forever. I always tell my clients that a wedding day should not be treated like a photo shoot. A wedding is always first and foremost the union of two people who are promising to spend their lives loving and supporting one another. And that is what I want to capture. That being said, it is still my highest priority to honour your celebration with photos in a unique and beautiful way. This is why my approach is always personal and slightly different for every couple and occasion.
On your big day, you want to rest assured that my commitment belongs to you. I will always make sure you are at ease and enjoying the process as much as I do. This is why you will find that I prefer not to spend the day following a preconceived "photo checklist" as this takes my attention away from capturing those rare and fleeting moments where the true magic lies.
I am fully capable and rather good at directing big groups of people and getting the family organised for those important group photos. However, for most of the day you will probably not even be aware of me as I quietly move through the crowds, keeping my eyes peeled for those rare and fleeting moments that pass by in a wink of an eye.
My advice to the bridal couple
Always remember that this is YOUR wedding day. Keep this in mind when you're making big decisions about your service providers, the progression of the day, etc. Don't feel pressured to do what is expected of you - do what makes you and your partner the happiest. There are no rules! Don't be scared to break traditions. For instance, if you don't like the idea of the scrutiny of a first dance then you don't have to do it, it is as simple as that.
Always keep in mind that your wedding day is about you and your partner making a commitment to each other. That is all that matters. The flowers, venue, music, food and fanfare are just the icing on top. If you keep reminding yourself of this fact, the lead-up to the wedding is unlikely to stress you out. If you have a tight budget, choose the one or two vendors that are the most important to you, spend your money on those and hire more affordable service providers to take care of the other aspects of your big day.
Plan ahead - don't leave things for the last minute. Once you've made a decision, try and stick to it; don't over analyse or keep going back and forth trying to decide whether it was the right decision. Lastly, if your budget allows for it, hire a wedding planner or at least an on-the-day coordinator that can take care of the details while you relax and bask in a big, fun celebration with family and friends.

FAQ
How does the booking process work?
Once I have confirmed that I have the date of your wedding available, I will send you an invoice for a 30% (non-refundable) booking fee to secure the date, as well as an important terms and conditions document that will need to be signed and returned before I book the date on my end. The balance of my fee will be due one week prior to your wedding.
Do you work with a second shooter?
Yes, I always work with very talented second shooters and sometimes even with third shooters if the scope of the wedding calls for it.
Can i extend the timeframe on the wedding day?
Yes! Additional hours can be arranged prior to the wedding or even requested on the day of the wedding itself.
Does your package include an engagement shoot
I would love to do your engagement shoot with you, this is a wonderful way for us to get to know each other before the big day. This can be arranged at an additional cost, so please get in touch if you would like to book a session.
What is your delivery time frame for final images?
One week after your wedding, you will receive a sneak peek album of between 20 and 30 images that will be downloadable via an online gallery. The remainder of your photos will be delivered in edited, final format approximately 8 weeks from the date of your wedding.
Do you visit our chosen venue before the wedding?
I make an appointment to visit a venue if I haven't photographed there before. I usually do this in my own time and it is not necessary for you to come with me. However, you are welcome to join me if you prefer.
