Let’s have the talk.
Awesome wedding photography is not an expense, but an investment. With your wedding rings, your photos will be the last TANGIBLE thing you have after your wedding day finishes. Trust me, it goes super fast and you won’t have time to see it all…that’s why we are here. We are here to show you what you might have missed and to show you how friggin’ awesome you two lovers are.
I am here to show you how it felt.
Let’s talk numbers.
On the day, I will be with you on the for an average of 8 hours. During these 8 hours, I will have taken about 2000 shots, drank 1 L of water, and sat down for about 0.0 seconds (unless I am driving).
After the wedding day, I will spend on average 2 hours to carefully select your images, 12 hours to edit your photos, 1.5 hours to back up, re-back and back up again, 2 hours to create your online gallery, and spend about 6 minutes waiting for the kettle to boil for my cups of teas.
Before the wedding day, I will have spent about 50 mins to check that my gear is in tip top shape to work, I will have spent 35 mins to pack properly all the stuff I need. I will have spent a total of 3 hours on average on admin work relating to your wedding: replying to emails, creating quotes, sending receipts and checking the schedules/timelines and road maps.
If you aren’t sure what the industry numbers should be for the wedding photography pricing, here is a great guide put together by the lovely team at Dancing With Her:

This is one of my most favourite things to do: documenting people and families living their life. My photography style is somewhat more ‘documentary’ and ‘journalistic’ than ‘posed photos’ kind. I like to direct as little as possible and find the most genuine expressions and little details in people/things. I like photos that tell a story, not only the ‘pretty pictures’. Looking back at your family photos you’ll be able to say: “remember that wallpaper in the kitchen? and that toy?!! remember how you loved that jumper…”. But don’t get me wrong, I also do coach you a little for the portraits but I always make sure you feel confortable.
I base my price on a family of 4 or less, for 2 hours shooting. Included in that price you get ~120 professionally edited photos. I can also provide a 1-2 mins little video (extra fee for the editing of the video apply. From $210).
