How do you approach couples photos?
On your wedding day, I'm keen to get you back to your celebrations, and back to your people and on with the party, as soon as we can. I'm not interested in taking hours visiting multiple locations, tricking up some super fancy poses or lighting set ups. So. . . I keep things simple and focus on capturing the two of you together as honestly, beautifully, and in as connected and “true to you” a way as possible.
We'll take advantage of whatever gorgeous scenes we can find at your venue, and we'll make some images of you that reveal the closeness and emotion you share. Always keeping things easy, simple, and with no pressure to perform. Absolutely not. Typically forty minutes, an hour at the outside, should do it.
Do you produce albums?
For sure. I've just switched to the name wedding albums, Queensberry, so this sample here is out of date. But. . . . if you want to check out what they're about jump over to the Queensberry website and have a look at the craftsmanship going on. I offer two tiers of albums starting at $1,100 and $1,500. Have a chat with if you want more info.
Do you take family portraits/bridal party etc.?
Absolutely. Family and bridal party pics are a standard part of most wedding days. Generally this happens after the ceremony, and I make it as simple and fuss free as I can.
So you're pretty keen on black and white photos?
I am! But that doesn't mean you have to be :D I'm more than happy to ease up on the number of b&w images I hand over to you. My usual ratio is something like 1/3 monochrome to 2/3 colour. I'm not precious about this. So if you want less (a little or a lot) or even more, just let me know. Easy.
Do you work with a 2nd photographer?
Simple answer: no. Why? Well. . . my way is to let your day be its own thing. I want you to have as much room to experience your day as you can. I want you to feel my presence as lightly as is doable. The more lightly I tread, the more real and true are your pictures. Throwing in a second photographer doesn’t really work with that. And, I take a lot of photos and deliver a lot of photos: you’re not going to miss out.
How do you go with videographers?
If you're booking a videographer who rocks a similar style to mine (documentary/natural/un-staged) that's great. We'll just work. And even if you're hiring someone whose gig is styling every moment, no probs, I'll just cruise my way around. Easy.
