Working with me
- Where are you based?
I’m based in Wānaka New Zealand, and predominantly shoot all around the Queenstown Lakes district. I do a limited number of weddings nation wide per year.
FAQS
-Do you shoot digital or film?
I shoot on Sony digital cameras & lenses, however I can shoot a roll of 35mm film for the day upon request.
-Do you offer videography?
-When do we receive our images?
Choosing a videographer who is able to work seamlessly & in harmony with your photographer’s style is super important, as this can directly effect the outcome of your photos for the day. As I like to focus on doing one job well, I work closely with the legend Ned, from Summit Films for a lot of the weddings I do – and we even offer a combined photo & video package for full-day bookings. If you’d like to see Ned capture your best, authentic selves for a smaller package, shoot me a message and we can chat. Check out a bit about him & his work here
A sneak peek with a small selection of images will be delivered within one week of your wedding date. You will receive your full collection of wedding photos within 3 months due to a high volume of weddings and elopements during this time. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why it’ll take me a little bit more time to deliver your final images. Off peak season is usually around 6 weeks.
-How do we book you & secure our date?
-Will we get to meet you before the day?
-How many photos will I receive?
-What are your travel costs?
I don't put a set number of photos in my packages, as every couple & day is different. One thing I can guarantee is that you wont be short of images and I don't leave any of the good stuff out! 8-10 hour packages are usually anything from 500+
For destinations weddings or outside of Wanaka, travel costs are not included in my packages. To assist with your planning, I’ve created an, all- inclusive travel packs. Just add it on, and I’ll look after the rest.
Unless I make a special arrangement, all travel and accommodation will be handled and booked by me.
The booking process is simple. Once you have inquired and had a chance to look through my wedding collections, I will send you a contract to review and sign. I require a 25% deposit to secure your date. Your final balance is due 1 month before your wedding date. Due to the number of enquires received, I work on a first come, first served basis and can not pencil in dates.
Of course,. I think its super important to get to know one another so you can feel comfortable and more relaxed on the day of your shoot or wedding and aim to do this even before you book. If we have the opportunity it'd be awesome to grab a coffee together, otherwise we can set up a face time or phone call. This way we can have a yarn and get to know each other.

One of the top factors that can cause stress on a wedding day is lack of time.
Things are often running a little behind schedule, or sometimes it was planned too tightly to begin with. Having reasonable expectations can make a huge difference to your comfort levels and your photos.
