Wedding Photography FAQ’s

  • Click HERE to check out my pricing page.

    The most popular option selected by clients is 8 hours of coverage. This generally yields approximately 600+ high-quality photos which will tell a beautiful story of your day. I will be able to cover Bride/Groom preparation, the Ceremony, family photos, Bridal Party photos and a few hours of your Reception. Pricing for this package is currently $3500 and should you book in advance this price will be locked in for you to avoid price increases.

    Understandably, all weddings are unique so we can extend or reduce coverage based on your needs and budget. So give me a call and we can have a chat about how you would like your day to be covered.

  • It’s highly recommended that we meet up prior to you making your booking. This ensures we are a good fit and that I can meet all your expectations.

    I have shot numerous weddings where a client meeting has not taken place, however, a phone discussion generally was sufficient to cover everything.

  • Jump on over and send me some details about your love story here. Otherwise, just pick up the phone and give me a bell on 0404122316 and we can have a chat. If possible, a face-to-face meeting is a perfect opportunity to get to know each other to ensure we are a good fit. If you like what you see I will send you some paperwork and request a 25% retainer to lock in your date.

  • My wedding photography packages cover the Central Coast, Sydney, Hunter Valley and Newcastle. However, with additional payment of my travel expenses I can pretty much go where ever you need me.

  • In just a few words, I would describe my style of wedding photography as photojournalistic, candid and relaxed. Each wedding I photograph will have a storyline that will detail all the magical moments from start to finish. I love to capture all the real details and emotions of the day so I’m not going to be in your face directing you left and right. But, if I need to speak up I will. Your bridal shoot and family photos will also require a little guidance and posing to ensure we capture those important moments.

  • All images are individually colour corrected and enhanced using the highest quality programs. Most of my images are crafted to have an old school film look. Think back to Kodak and Fuji 400.

    Most importantly, please ensure you check out my portfolio and social media pages to ensure you connect with my style. Also, here is a link to numerous albums which I have captured for the Elope or Wed with a Twist team in Wollombi.

    Please understand that I’m a huge advocate for accepting ourselves for who we are. Forget Insta filters and Photoshop! Scars, moles and lines are REAL and I love capturing the real YOU. If you let me know prior I can adjust this in post processing but there may be a small fee involved. Some basic corrections like skin softening is made in line with my style, however, I am not a wedding photographer who delivers all photos edited like magazine covers. Should you wish for additional high end re-touching maybe I’m not the fella you are looking for.

    Check out my recent blog for more details on how I edit wedding photos.

  • You will receive your photos via an online gallery which will be emailed to you approximately 3-4 weeks after your wedding. From here you can download your images in high and low resolution and can also share the photos with your family and friends.

  • Yes I do. These sessions are a great opportunity to meet me and have a chat about anything photography related for your wedding. Other couples have used the images for their ‘Save the Date’ cards.

    Inclusions:

    • 60-minute photo shoot on location on the Central Coast

    • 50 enhanced and fully edited photos delivered via an online gallery. All photos are duplicated in colour and black and white.

    • Q & A session opportunity to cover any photography needs to prepare for your wedding day.

    Cost

    • $495 ($400 cash)

    • Add $50 if travel is required outside of the Central Coast e.g. to Newcastle or Sydney.

  • Yes, I can pull out the trusty drone for you on your Bridal Party photoshoot.

    Please get in touch prior so I can organise this for you. It will be $100 cash on the day and will include 3 images added to your gallery.

    Note that weather conditions and aircraft restrictions can impact the use of drones so we have to coordinate on the day.

  • Yes sure! I can email you 5 edited images in low resolution by the following morning. These are perfect for sharing on social media.

    Just bring $100 cash with you on the day and I can organise this for you.

  • Yes, definitely! Once you receive your wedding gallery, you can purchase top-notch prints and beautiful wall art products directly through our convenient online shop. These are all meticulously crafted by my trusted professional print lab, ensuring the utmost quality. While they are priced accordingly due to their premium nature, I assure you they are worth every penny.

    The best part is that not only you, but also your family and friends with access to your gallery, can easily place orders.

    I take great pride in all the products I offer, and they will be securely delivered right to your doorstep, hassle-free.

    However, it's essential for me to mention that I cannot control the quality if you opt for other print labs. To avoid any issues, I recommend doing your due diligence before selecting an alternative. Common problems arise when incorrect file sizes are used for larger prints, resulting in soft and blurry images. Additionally, different aspect ratios might cause unwanted cropping.

  • Certainly! My wedding albums are truly one-of-a-kind creations. Crafted with the utmost care by my print lab, they are the result of hours of dedicated work to ensure every detail is just perfect. Moreover, couples are involved in the process, giving their input to create a personalized layout before we move forward with printing.

    These albums are more than just physical keepsakes – they are cherished memories and a celebration of special moments. Hand-crafted with love, they embody the essence of your unique story.

    Prices start at $550 for a 20 page album. Get in touch if you're curious to learn more about these beautiful creations and all the finer details.

  • That’s ok. Please send it to me so I can take a peek and be prepared for your day ahead of time. We can generally replicate a couple of images, but mentioning a few things first is important.

    • I have my own unique individual style and am unable to replicate a different photographer’s way of capturing a wedding.

    • Do you want your wedding photos to be authentic, natural and genuine or would you like your photos to be copies of someone else’s wedding?

    • If I’m busy looking at your Pinterest board trying to replicate photos during the day there is a high chance that I will miss many other magic candid moments occuring.

    • Should you have some special requests please let me know ahead of time. E.g. photo with a certain family member, a cigar shot, a certain fun pose with the couple, a family shot list etc.

  • Of course! Love is love!

  • Yes! Public Liability Insurance is a must for photographers. Let me know if your venue or other vendors require a copy.
