About Daniel

I am to provide as many photos as possible. I don’t mind if there is a little bit of blur here or there, or if things aren’t perfect, because I know it’s the special moment rather than the technically perfect image that you are after. However, sometimes I take photos to test the light, or take multiple photos in just one second so that I can give you the results. 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. 

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.

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 can be quite exhausting when Aunt June has gone to the bathroom and Cousin Fred is moving his car.

Have a look through my folio and decide for yourself which types of photographs you prefer.

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 the Dandenong Ranges 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 a third backup when I get home. I then make a fourth backup online in your private client gallery.
