Hawke's Bay Premium Wedding Photography

My fiancé and I are pretty awkward in front of the camera and have no idea on posing. Does this matter?
No it doesn't. Wedding photography should be a documentary style shoot of your day. Full of laughter, smiles and positive energy. I have a plenty of strategies to keep you feeling comfortable and looking natural through the photoshoot. If you do by chance ever not look quite right, I'll give some simple adjustment. I have an extensive background posing and how it ties in with photography, so when something needs a quick shift it's Avery much an easy one for me to quickly direct.

​

How many hours of your time do we get for each wedding package?

You've got enough to stress about as you navigate your planning. I don't charge for a set number of hours. I'm not running off to another job after yours because when I book a wedding I clear the day as it's yours. I do have a series of packages to accomodate what you wish to be photographed, but I do not cap hours within reason.

​

How much deposit do you require?

I do not only specialise in just wedding photography, so I have a year round full time income. The benefit to you is I don't want all your payment up front. I only take a $300 booking fee to ensure we are both agreeing on the date and that fee is later discounted from your package price.

​

What is your shooting style?

I'm very relaxed and follow and adapt with the day. I shoot in the background for most of the celebrations, making the most out of moments, connection and expression. Then during the bridal sessions, it's still about being relaxed but also enjoying that time. That is key. During this time I can move anywhere between very candid shooting right through to polished Vanity Fair & Classic depending on what your own preferences are. Most like a bit of both.

​

You're a Hawkes Bay Photographer, but do you also shoot weddings out of town?

Absolutely! Every year weddings take me all around the country. Sometimes even overseas. I have photographed a good number of incredible weddings in Fiji, Thailand, Australia and Mexico.

​

How many photos do we get?

I do not place a maximum limit on shots supplied in digital format. I shoot everything I see and I don't place a maximum limit on files.. I supply all the final images for you to reprint and enlarge for personal use in both Colour and Black and white.
