The Essence of Your Event in Every Shot
Before your EVENT
Before photographing your event, I like to get to know you, your ideas and your expectations, so your Preshoot Consultation kicks off the process.
I want the scoop on what the occasion is. Understanding the event dynamics allows me to capture your personalities and relationships as they really are.
Your every question will be answered, including:
- Are there any formalities you’d like captured?
- Are there any groupings you’d like photographed?
- What are your must have photos?
On the day
During the shoot, it’s my job to capture you in the best light. And to document the real and authentic moments as they happen, rather than in fixed, unnatural poses. This leaves you free to enjoy how things unfold and have trust in me to get the shot.
Don’t worry about dated photographs that look on-trend this year but won’t last – with over 15 years of experience, I’ll make sure you’ve got timelessly stylish photographs that you’ll be proud to share with the grandkids in 40 years’ time!
After your EVENT
After your event, I professionally and expertly curate and prepare your photos.
All high and web-resolution files are delivered via an online gallery – perfect for easy sharing with family and friends. And your images will be available to download for two years.
If you would like to print through me, I’ll guide you through selecting your favourites for an album or prints, ensuring your memories are preserved in the most beautiful way possible.
