Wedding Day
- the big day has arrived -
Starting from the bridal preparations – capturing the excitement of the bridal party and emotions of the proud mum and dad – along to the final details of what makes your wedding unique. Groom preparations are also available on request (included when 2nd photographer is chosen at additional cost.)
Ceremony
-exchanginging vows-
Nerves and anticipation of the groom and the arrival of the bridal party are captured along with candid journalistic style shots of your guests. Your full ceremony will be covered, although this is subject to permission from the registrar, please ensure you discuss with your chosen registrar what photography they allow during the service.
After the ceremony comes the time when we capture the well wishes from your guests as they congratulate you, resulting in beautiful and natural style photographs. As your guests then relax and enjoy your day, we will have an opportunity to wander around the grounds and capture your wedding portraiture, it is also a time when you can have a few moments to yourselves. We capture a mixture of romantic, fun and intimate shots for you both to treasure.
I stay throughout your day to record the cutting of the cake, the speeches and anything else that may unfold. I will stay up until your first dance, ensuring you can look back and see all the emotions and splendors as it happened.
Images
- how long? -
Each and every one of your images are edited and enhanced to look their best. They will be presented to you in a USB folio at a high resolution for you to print yourself, along with full print rights and proof of permission to show any print labs or shops. The digital images will be ready within approximately 6 to 8 weeks after your wedding, (this may take longer in peek season) although we always aim to give you them earlier if at all possible.
Album
- print is important -
Once your images have been enhanced and edited, they will be uploaded onto your own personal secure pass-worded gallery, available for you and all of your friends to view. This is an opportunity for you to choose your favourite images for inclusion in your album and it is within this time that I begin to create your draft. Once completed, I will send you an electronic version of your album as a PDF file for you to view and approve. Album build times vary depending on busy periods but on average it takes 3 to 4 weeks for delivery.
Every wedding is unique and my aim is to capture the true essence of it. All of your images will be fully edited and enhanced and presented as a true documentation of your wedding from beginning to end.
I simply offer modern stylish wedding photography at its best!
