Frequently Asked Questions
The sooner the better.
These days 6 months is pretty much the minimum lead time for bookings. Anything closer than that to your wedding date and you are running the risk of not getting your photographer of choice.
As soon as you can before your wedding day or after receipt of your final invoice if we had to render services approved by you on the day not included in the signed agreement. Please be aware that I do not start work on your photos until full payment has been confirmed.
Yes, of course. While I am based in Johannesburg and I am willing to travel to pretty much anywhere, given enough time to make arrangements naturally.
Please note that I do not drive more than 50km at night for to safety reasons, in which case I’ll will need to sleep over at the wedding venue or as close as possible.
I do prefer couples pick up their photos and/or album themselves.
That way I can make sure that you receive your items and photos in pristine condition and ensure that you are satisfied.
Arrangements can always be made for shipping, however while every effort is made to ensure it arrives in as good condition as it left, I cannot guarantee this.
Should anything be shipped to you there will be the couriers fee to consider.
Yes.
I use Professional editing software for both my normal work flow like colour correction and to also personalise every single photo, its about finding the best moment in every photo I edit.
Please note: I do not do extreme digital manipulation on you images.
Normally within 2 – 6 weeks after receipt of your final payment.
It depends on your preferences, or should there be any extra’s or perhaps important decisions you are making about your photos.
Definitely.
Whether its your Wedding day or and any event, on the day you will have so much else on your mind you may forget to confirm ideas or important information with your photographer. Meeting before the day is your opportunity to let me know what you want for the day, its our chance to discuss locations, those involved and anything on your mind.
How many photos will we receive ?
How many photos will we receive ?
You will get roughly 500 – 800 photos, not all these are edited and should you find a photo you really love and I did not edit, I am happy to edit the photo for you. Should you want me to alter a photo from black and white to colour or vise versa no problem, these are your memories.
Yes. while this does depend on the package and your requirements the general answer is yes. My assistant helps me ensure it all runs smoothly and on schedule.
.
Those extra questions you have for your Wedding Photographer.
Yes - I require seating and food.
It is preferable close to a wall power socket and within view of the Bride and Groom, so I know if something important is happening.
I generally wear dark semi-formal clothing in order to blend in and to stay unnoticed as much as possible.
