WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?

My photography style is primarily documentary, capturing genuine moments and emotions as they unfold. I also enjoy incorporating portraits and group shots to provide a comprehensive visual narrative. In addition to focusing on individuals, I pay attention to details and surroundings, ensuring that each collection of photos tells a compelling and entertaining story. This approach allows me to create images that are not only beautiful but also reflect the unique essence of the moments I capture.

CAN WE SEE THAT INFORMATION AND PRICING?

Get in touch my contact page and I'll send you my pricing and information. I offer a variety of wedding photography services as well as wedding albums and prints.

ARE TRAVEL EXPENSES INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKAGES?

I always include all travel fees in my packages for the convenience of my clients. However, for weddings located in areas that are challenging to access with public transport, or in cases where I need to take or rent a car, there might be additional expenses. Rest assured, I am transparent about any extra costs, and we thoroughly discuss all the details before finalizing the contract. Open communication ensures clarity and avoids any surprises.

CAN I CUSTOMIZE A PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGE TO FIT MY SPECIFIC NEEDS?

Absolutely! While I have pre-defined packages in my price guide, I'm more than open to creating a customized photography package tailored to your specific needs. Feel free to reach out, and we can discuss the details to ensure the package aligns perfectly with your vision and requirements.

ARE THE PHOTOS GOING TO BE EDITED?

Yes! All the photos you receive will be carefully edited, that means they are color corrected, contrast adjusted and sharpened and ready to print. What you see here on my website is what you get!

DO YOU PROVIDE VIDEOGRAPHY SERVICES?

No, I specialize in photography services. However, I collaborate with a team of professional videographers, and I can confidently recommend someone with excellent skills and expertise in videography. If you're interested, I'd be happy to connect you with a videographer to ensure comprehensive coverage of your special day.

HAVE YOU SHOT AT MY VENUE BEFORE?

I have shot at hundreds of venues, so there is a good chance that I have. However, if I have not, I’ll get to the venue early on the day before and be sure to perform a thorough walk-through to scout out the best photography locations. I also do extensive online research prior to your big day!

CAN I REQUEST SPECIFIC SHOTS OR POSES FOR OUR SESSION?

I encourage couples to create moodboards as a wonderful way to express their unique style and preferences. I find Pinterest to be an excellent platform for this purpose. You can gather inspiration by including photos you like, as well as images of decorations and other details that resonate with your vision. Additionally, feel free to add poses or moments you admire. Sharing a moodboard helps me better understand your aesthetic and ensures we capture the moments that matter most to you.

WE ARE CAMERA SHY. HOW WOULD YOU DEAL WITH THAT?

I have been able to put even the most nervous bride and bridegroom at complete ease throughout their wedding day. So, rest assured that you will be in good hands. I will blend into the background and you won't even notice me most of the time. This will allow everything and everyone to flow more naturally. Just focus on your day and enjoy everything as much as you can because it flies by much too quickly!

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR OUR WEDDING?

The earlier, the better! If your wedding takes place on a Saturday in summer, photographers are usually really busy and quickly booked out. If you would like to know, if I am still available on your wedding date, please fill in the contact form and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

CAN WE SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION OR MEETING BEFORE BOOKING YOUR SERVICES?

I welcome the opportunity to connect with you. We can schedule an audio or video call to discuss the details of your event, address any questions or concerns you may have, and get better acquainted. This personalized conversation allows us to ensure that we're the perfect fit for capturing your special moments.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE UNTIL WE RECEIVE THE IMAGES?

I strive to provide a sneak peek with a couple of edited images within 3-7 days after your wedding. The overall editing process is typically completed between 2-4 weeks. However, during high season, this may extend to 5-6 weeks due to the increased demand. The timeline can also vary based on the coverage length. If you have specific preferences or require the photos earlier, please let me know, and we can discuss a suitable arrangement.

HOW LONG UNTIL I RECEIVE MY WEDDING ALBUM?

If you want me to make an album, I will create an album layout with the images of your choice. You will be able to choose the album images that you would like once you receive the high-resolution images. Once you approve of the layout, I will place the order and it will take between 3 to 4 weeks before you receive it.

CAN I HAVE A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER AT MY WEDDING?

Of course, you can, I have a short list of awesome photographers that sometimes accompany me on weddings and I can organize it for you, however, this service is not included in the price of my packages.

CAN WE PUBLISH OUR PHOTOS IN SOCIAL MEDIA?

Yes, I'll be glad if you will publish photos, I'll be even more if you will tag me too!) I often post wedding photos on my Instagram to promote my work - it's the most popular way to find a photographer. If you don't want me to publish your photos, please let me know and we will add it to our contract and discuss the price of the service.

WHAT IF WE NEED TO CANCEL/RESCHEDULE OUR SHOOT?

If you’ve already put a deposit down on a date then have to move or cancel it, there will be no need for a new deposit if I am available on such new date. Otherwise, the deposit is non-refundable and a new deposit will have to be made in order to hold your new date.
