WHERE DO YOU LIVE AND WILL YOU TRAVEL?
I have home bases in Pretoria Gauteng and George Western Cape, South Africa, but travel countrywide and abroad for weddings!

WHAT SORT OF PHOTOGRAPHY DO YOU OFFER?
I specialise in wedding, portrait and couple/engagement photography as well as personal branding and lifestyle photography). I also do magazine and corporate work.

WHAT OTHER SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?
I own an advertising agency and with my team we offer wedding website invitations and wedding stationery designs. We also offer editing services to photographers and magazines with the best retouching staff in the country!

WHAT CAMERA EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I use two Canon 5DmkIV cameras. I only use Canon L-Series lenses and high speed, quality memory cards from Lexar (including a backup card in my camera for peace of mind). I am a big fan of creative lighting and some of your photos will have that extra creative touch!

HOW ARE YOUR COLLECTIONS STRUCTURED?
Collections are based on the number of hours of coverage you’d like for your wedding day. Elopement coverage starts at 5 hours. Traditional wedding coverage starts at 8 hours and this usually allows enough time to cover formalities at smaller weddings, with the larger collections including a bit of partying too. I don’t include cheap albums or prints in packages to bulk the offering, but rather focus on delivering a quality experience with amazing service. If you would like to view my brochure, please feel free to get in touch via the contact form.

DO YOU WORK WITH A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?
I am a solo photographer. I do not have an assistant or second photographer with me on the day, and can manage almost all coverage by myself as long as you have selected hourly coverage to match your needs on the day. If you require a second photographer then I will gladly source one at an extra fee.

HOW DO WE KNOW HOW MUCH COVERAGE WE NEED?
An average wedding of 80-120 guests needs about 9 hours of photography to get us through to the end of formalities. My brochure contains a timing guide, and we can chat about timing on the day if you need more info. I normally work back from the sunset time on your wedding day.

WHY SUNSET?
The best time for your photography session is an hour before sunset. We’ll have the best light and won’t keep your guests waiting for too long.

WHAT IS YOUR TYPICAL TIMELINE TO TAKE PHOTOS OF OUR WEDDING DAY?
I have a set timeline from when I arrive to the very last night shoot! In short I arrive earlier than agreed just to get unpacked and getting to know the venue (if we haven’t had a venue visit prior to your wedding day). I have a page explaining the run of my day and when I cover every bit of detail of your day!

CAN WE BOOK EXTRA HOURS ON THE NIGHT?
If things run behind schedule, you are more than welcome to book more time on the evening at an hourly rate of R1,500.00. I really try and keep your wedding day as stress-free as possible and do everything I can to ensure you are going to have adequate coverage.

WELL WE’RE ELOPING AND JUST NEED BASIC COVERAGE. CAN YOU ASSIST?
Absolutely! I already have a collection customised for elopements because they rock!

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE CAN WE BOOK?
I accept bookings around 10 months in advance, and slightly longer for peak season bookings. At present, I only accept up to 4 weddings per month.

WE’D LOVE TO BOOK YOU TO PHOTOGRAPH OUR WEDDING, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO?
Once you have selected a collection that provides the coverage you need, a 50% booking fee and signed contract will secure your wedding booking. I am unfortunately not able to pencil in bookings, but the date will be blocked off for 10 working days whilst you finalise your booking. Payment plans are available.

DO YOU NEED TO DO A SITE VISIT BEFORE THE WEDDING DAY IF OUR VENUE IS OUT OF TOWN?
If the wedding is more than 100km out of town, I usually arrive earlier than agreed in order to check the venue out and scout out amazing spots for your photo session. I do my best to work with the staff at the venue to find incredible spots for your photos, because they generally know great secret areas (especially if you are are having a game reserve or safari wedding).

HOW LONG WILL YOU TAKE TO EDIT OUR PHOTOS?
After the wedding I try to get a few preview images to you pretty quickly. Thereafter, the bulk of photographs will be edited within 10-12 weeks. An online album of your edited photos will be posted immediately thereafter so that you can access, browse and download.

WHAT FORMAT DO MY PHOTOS COME IN?
Your high res photos will include un-watermarked edited jpeg photos, as well as a folder of watermarked resized images for social media so that it is super easy to upload quality images.

CAN WE ASK YOU NOT TO DISPLAY OUR IMAGES ONLINE?
Yes, absolutely. Your privacy is important to me.

CAN WE GET THE RAW FILES?
I take great care with your photographs and edit them one by one, ensuring they are absolutely perfect. Unfortunately the RAW files are not released, but your final JPEG images are high resolution.

CAN WE SEND YOU PHOTOS WE HAVE SEEN AND WANT ON OUR WEDDING DAY?
You are more than welcome to send through photos that you love, which I will use for inspiration. Unfortunately I will not be able to replicate photos you have found online.

CAN YOU MAKE ME SKINNY?
My collections all include very subtle skin smoothing techniques on your portrait photographs, but I do not do any extensive ‘photoshopping’ to change your appearance.

WE’D LIKE TO BOOK YOU, WHAT DO WE DO?
Yeah what an honour. You are more than welcome to email me, give me a call or send me a whatsapp to finalise your booking. I will then email you the contract and the invoice, and once I have received the signed contract and booking fee, we are all set for you wedding day – time to Celebrate Your Love Story!!!
