FAQ

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

What equipment do you use?

All my equipment is Nikon. I make use of a Nikon Z7ii body and a Nikon D780 body. My favourite lenses to use are my 35mm, 85mm and 14-24mm. I also make use of flash when needed.

How many photographers are included in your packages?

All of my wedding packages include one photographer. However a second photographer can be added if needed. For weddings with more than 80 guests, or if things are far apart on your wedding day, i would suggest booking a second photographer.

How would you describe your style?

I really enjoy taking a step back with wedding photography and capturing things as they unfold naturally. My work is natural, non-obtrusive but with direction and guidance given as needed.

My editing style is warm, 'moody' and a bit dramatic, but still an accurate representation of all the colours on your wedding day.

Can you edit our photographs in a different style?

My shooting style and editing style go hand in hand and it has taken a long time and a lot of trial and error to get the two to a place where I feel that they compliment one another.

Regretfully i cannot edit your images in a different style to mine, therefore I strongly suggest you familiarise yourself with my work before booking.

Do you only photograph weddings?

While wedding photography is my main focus, I do offer lifestyle sessions which include engagement and couple photoshoots as well as family sessions.

Do you offer video as well?

Regretfully not, however I am happy to recommend some incredible videographers that also have a natural/documentary feel to their films.

How does the booking process work?

In order to book my services for your wedding or shoot a 50% booking fee with a signed contract is required. 

How far in advance should we book your services?

For weddings I only accept bookings 18 months in advance. For smaller lifestyle shoots I only take bookings two months in advance. If you are considering booking my services, please consider enquiring sooner than later, as my popular dates fill up quickly.

Do you travel for weddings?

YES! I love to travel and no location is too near or too far. Please note that I am based in Cape Town and while all my packages include 100km of travel, depending on the location and distance that there may be additional travel and accommodation costs charged. However all of this will be discussed during our consultation/communications.

How long until we receive our photographs?

Two days after your wedding date you will receive a preview consisting of roughly 50 photographs (dependent on how many hours are booked). The rest of your images will take 10 - 12 weeks to complete and will be delivered in an online gallery for sharing and download.

Can we get the raw/unedited images?

No

Can we book additional time if the day runs late?

Absolutely. Additional hours can be arranged before the wedding date or on the day. Please note that this will be dependent on location of the venue and safety driving back.

We are interested in ordering an album, how does it work?

Please get in touch if you are interested in ordering an album. All the albums we offer are the highest quality fine art albums which can hold up to 120 of your favourite images and have 100 pages. We do also offer smaller albums which are great gift ideas for parents or grandparents.

What if you fall ill or can no longer make it to our wedding?

I understand how scary this could be to couples. Should anything happen, I have a network of very reliable, incredible photographers that will be able to stand in my place. All editing and image selections will still be done by me.

Can you do table photographs?

Given the natural style of my work, unfortunately not. However if there are any guests that you would like photographs with, please grab me so we can take some photographs.

Do you require food on the wedding day?

Yes please. We are on our feet for ages and the chance to sit down for a few minutes, eat and re-energize is and will be very much appreciated.

WILL MY PHOTOGRAPHS LOOK LIKE THE ONES ON YOUR WEBSITE?

Each wedding and the people in it are unique and moments do differ from wedding to wedding. However my editing style and approach to each wedding does remain consistent and you will receive photographs that are a true documentation of your wedding day.
