  • Choosing a Photographer

    When you hire me to take photographs you are paying for someone who is an experienced photographer who is passionate about getting great photos. It is sometimes difficult to know which photographer to pick. My advice to look at their portfolio and see whether they align with your budget.

  • Wedding Pricing

    My wedding packages start at $1250 for four hours of coverage, while 10 hours of coverage costs $1950. I tend to wrap up about 30 minutes after the first dance. You will receive a beautiful online client gallery that you can easily share with friends containing non-watermarked high-resolution downloadable photos. I am able to design wedding books for an additional fee.

  • Portrait Sessions

    My standard portrait sessions start at $400 and usually run for about 60-90 minutes. I tend to photograph these sessions outdoors and just before sunset during golden hour. You will generally receive 20-25 photos, but there are no extra charges if more are available.

 FAQs

  • I aim to provide as many photos as possible. Sometimes I take photos to test the light or take multiple photos in just one second so that I can give you the best results. This helps me to ensure that I don’t ‘miss’ a shot because someone blinked. Please check out my portfolio before booking me, as this will give you a strong idea as to the quality and style of images you can expect.

  • I would be thrilled to photograph more same-sex weddings. It’s something that is missing in my portfolio, so I’d even offer a discount for the opportunity. Please contact me so we can have a chat.

  • For wedding and portrait clients, you have full, unrestricted license to use or remix the photographs you have paid for in any way you see fit. You can’t resell them to other people (who would sell their own wedding photos though?).

  • Yes, I know some great wedding vendors who I trust to make your day run smoothly. Feel free to reach out.

  • I will send through an invoice for your deposit (flat $500 for weddings), and then a second invoice for your final payment which is due the week before the wedding. I will also provide you with a receipt.

  • When I started photographing weddings in 2016, I thought that documentary-style wedding photography was a style photographers chose because they found posing and working with light difficult. I’ve since changed my mind on this somewhat. I believe most of my clients’ favourite photos are taken when they or their guests are making eye contact with each other, rather than looking directly at the camera. I prefer capturing a record of your day rather than being the one to direct it.

    Have a look through my folio and decide which type of photographs you prefer.

  • Weddings often involve more tradition than other symbolic occasions such as birthdays. Often people expect a lot of group photos because this was the only way photos could be reliably captured before digital cameras. I usually encourage my clients to consider limiting the number of group photos as they tend not to showcase the mood or feeling of the day, and it can be pretty exhausting when Aunt June has gone to the bathroom and Cousin Fred is moving his car.

  • I try my best to be completely transparent with my clients about my pricing.

    Occasionally clients request that I stay back longer than originally planned at a wedding. I am usually able to do this (by mutual agreement) at a cost of $200/hour (part of that cost helps cover the additional editing time).

    I charge a $1 per kilometre travel fee from South Yarra and a $1 per kilometre travel fee between venues.

  • I shoot on two high-quality full-frame Sony cameras using the highest quality SD cards. I usually make the first backup in the car, and then the third backup when I get home. I then make a fourth backup online in your private client gallery.

    I’ve worked on some very large multi-week projects overseas previous to photographing weddings, and I use the same tested backup and storage workflow that I implemented in my previous high-stakes photography work.

  • Yep, I also teach VCE Media to Year 12 students from across Victoria. I like mixing it up, and I think my clients appreciate that I’m not fully immersed in the Big Wedding Industry Machine.

    I am VIT registered, which means I hold the relevant working with children’s checks and police check paperwork.

  • I’m definitely open to it. Reach out and let me know your plans so I can provide a quote.
