FAQ'S
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
What’s your shooting style like?
I love being both interactive and discreet throughout the wedding day. There will be parts of the wedding day when I will give more guidance in order to accomplish everything that needs to be done while staying on schedule. There will also be moments when you shouldn’t even know that I’m there (the ceremony, during dances and toasts, etc.) I show my couples some posing tips and ways to interact during their engagement session so they are naturals on the wedding day and don’t need quite as much instruction from me so that they can just enjoy and savour in the moments as newlyweds!
What equipment do you shoot with?
I shoot with Canon 5D Mark IV full frame body and a top of the line prime and zoom lenses. I also use a flash during the reception when needed.
Do you travel for weddings and ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL FEES?
Yes, I do! I am based in the West Coast region of the Western Cape, but I love to travel and experience new places. I travel at my own cost for weddings within the WC. For weddings outside this area, travel will be charged p/km or a fight ticket but please contact me for a custom quote.
Accommodation (more than 100 km from our farm in Piketberg) for me & my assistant are not included. If your wedding is more than 250km from our farm, accommodation for the night before and wedding night will be required.
*No accommodation is required for Pretoria / Johannesburg weddings.
How will we receive our photos?
Your high resolution wedding day images will be delivered via a USB. Also included in your package is a password-protected online gallery where the low resolution photographs can be downloaded and shared with family & friends.
*If you live outside of SA you have the option of receiving your high resolution images via the private online gallery.
Do your packages include an engagement shoot?
Most of my investments include an engagement shoot.
Engagement sessions is a wonderful way for us to get to know each other a little and for me to give you guidance where needed during the shoot so that when your wedding day arrives, you can just focus on each other and taking in every little detail without being worried about the awkwardness of a camera following you a round the entire day.
*An engagement shoot can be added to your investment at any stage if not already included. I've done shoot 18 months in advance and even days before the wedding for couples outside of South Africa
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
Can we choose the location for our engagement shoot?
Absolutely! I believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, I'm open to capturing your portraits in a place that holds meaning to you.
*Additional travel fees may apply
How do we book our date?
Once I have answered any questions you may have and you have decided that having me as your photographer is exactly what you’re looking for on your wedding day, the next step is a securing your date!
When you are ready to book your date you will receive a wedding agreement which you should carefully read through and sign online. You will also receive an invoice with the amount of your chosen package. By paying the 50% non refundable booking fee of the total amount of your chosen package your date is secured.
*Please note that pencil bookings cannot be guaranteed until a deposit is received and that only 15 bookings are available per year!
What happens if it’s raining on our engagement session or wedding day?
I've shot weddings and engagement sessions in ice cold weather and pouring rain! I always travel with an umbrella and look for covered areas to shoot under but it’s also important for you to consider the time of year and your venue/location when choosing your date.
How do you accept payment?
Payments can be made via EFT or credit card via Payfast/ Yoco at an additional fee.
Do you post everything online?
Your online gallery will have an option of sharing the highlights section without a password with friends and family while the rest will be private.
My wedding blog is used as a form of marketing and features weddings in no specific order.
Can we have the unedited images or RAW’s from our shoot?
As photographers, we work hard to achieve and maintain our aesthetic look.
I only deliver images that are deemed credible and professional in quality and therefore don’t release any unedited or RAW files.
