Where are you based?

I am based in the beautiful city of Christchurch, New Zealand. However I originally come from the South Waikato in the North Island. I often head back to the North Island to visit family & friends. 


DO you travel for weddings?

Yes! I love to travel! I shoot a lot between the South Island and North Island of New Zealand. I have also had the privilege of shooting overseas. If you plan on having a destination wedding let me know your plans. My passport is always up to date.


What are youR wedding package rates?

I offer a variety of wedding packages with a range of pricing and coverage options to cater for the uniqueness of your wedding day, starting from $3200 for weddings and $2500 for elopements. Please get in touch with me through my contact page for a full wedding package pricing list and more information so we can find what works perfectly for you.


Can we meet with you Before BOOKING?

For sure. I always love to catch up in person, let’s meet in cosy Christchurch cafΓ©. However if distance is a factor and we are unable to meet in person, Skype or FaceTime is always a great option if you are not in the Christchurch area.


HOW DO WE BOOK AND RESERVE OUR DATE?

Once you are happy with a wedding day package I require you to complete a online booking form and booking fee. The completion of both will secure your date.


DO YOU HAVE A SECOND SHOOTER?

I offer this as an optional extra that can be added onto your wedding package, this is optimal when you would like full coverage of both the bride and the groom throughout the entire morning preparation.


HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU DELIVER FROM A WEDDING DAY?

I usually supply between 600-1000 images depending on the wedding day coverage that you have chosen. However I don't constrain myself to these numbers and believe in giving more images if it best-serves telling the story of your wedding day.


WHEN will we receive our photographs?

You will receive all of your fully edited high resolution print ready images between 6-8 weeks after your wedding day. Your images will come beautifully presented on a USB flash drive along with an online gallery that is perfect to view and share with friends & family. I always strive to deliver your wedding day photos sooner if possible.


Do you have insurance & back up equipment?

Most definitely, I also carry public liability insurance. I bring multiple camera bodies and an array of lenses to every wedding. Before my head hits the pillow I will have your images backed up to multiple hard drives. It is my job to protect your treasured memories and I take this part of the wedding very seriously.
