Weddings + elopements

As your wedding photographer I won’t just show up on the day, take photos and leave a few hours later. I want to capture your special day in a way that tells your unique story – the little details, fleeting moments and people you love. I’ll also be your planning consultant, time keeper, unofficial bridesmaid, family usher and hopefully friend for years to come.

Wedding FAQ

What's included in your packages?

My wedding photography packages start at $2,825 including coverage from ceremony to reception entrance, though most couples opt for full day coverage to capture every aspect from the preparations to the first dance. All packages include retouched high resolution images on USB and a private online gallery to share with your family and friends. Custom and elopement packages can be arranged to suit your needs.

How soon should I book?

As soon as you have discussed a tentative date and location, which is typically 12+ months in advance. Keep in mind peak season dates book first, being autumn through spring in Central Queensland. Your venue, photographer and celebrant should be the first three things you secure.

What happens once we're booked in?

As every day is different, I'll arrange to catch up with you over coffee (or Zoom) to chat about your plans and share some of my best photography-focused advice. You'll also receive an exclusive welcome pack with tips and tricks, print product information, and recommended vendors to guide your wedding planning process. Then, we'll keep in touch in the lead up to the day!

We're planning a destination wedding, Do you travel?

I love a good adventure and have had the honour of travelling to Fiji, Heron Island, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Gold Coast, Agnes Water/1770 and across Central and Western Queensland to photograph my couples. Please enquire for my destination packages which have all travel included to keep your planning stress-free.

How long does it take to receive our images?

My emphasis as a photographer is on quality over quantity, but it's worth the wait! I’ll post a sneak peek within 48 hours (unless otherwise requested) and email a private preview gallery approximately 4 weeks after your wedding. Delivery of your full package will take approximately 12 weeks.

Should we book an engagement shoot?

Generally the couples that are most apprehensive about booking an engagement session would benefit the most!

It is great opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera, trial your plans and use ideas that didn't quite make it to the wedding (pet/family/adventurous photos encouraged!).

Print products Weddings

Print Products

All print products are sourced through specialised Australia laboratories, held to the highest standards and printed on professional grade materials.

Fine Art Prints

Imagine every time you walk through your house, the people you love most are on the wall smiling at you. Or if you love keepsakes, a print box might be the perfect choice.

Prints are a great starting point for making your home tell a story - your images printed on archival quality cotton paper with a textured finish, suitable for framing or gifting to loved ones.

Albums

All albums are designed to your taste and hand crafted by a premium Australian printery. Your choices include cover material/colour/embossing and of course the photos within.

These keepsakes are perfect way to display all your most cherished moments in one place and a thoughtful, lasting gift for parents or grandparents.

Wall Art

All wall art is supplied ready to hang in your home, simply mount and enjoy. For the classic, I offer UV protected canvas prints with a 75 year replacement guarantee.

For those who prefer modern, try acrylic or metal prints to create a luxury feel with any image. Or if you're a little more rustic, a timber print might be the perfect fit.

About

Print your photos

Do you have fond memories of looking through old photos? These are future heirlooms for you and your family.

These are to be cherished and shared with pride to loved ones, colleagues and more.

These are for you to look back at and reminisce - to remind you of the little details, special moments and how you felt when the memories start to fade.

These are because no tomorrow is guaranteed, but your photos will only ever get more valuable.

Printing FAQ

Why do I need to print my photos?

Though I've embraced the digital age, please don't forget how special it is to hold a physical photograph in your hand (plus, technology can fail - back up those files)!

Printing your images turns them into a tangible memory that can be passed on for generations - they are one of few things in life that will appreciate in value as they age.

Is professional printing worth it?

It's important to buy products from a photographic specialist. While retail prices are enticing, these outlets don't adhere to the same standards as professional labs.

My products are printed on archival materials, mounted and supplied ready to display with extended warranties, taking the hassle out of printing for you.

Can I see some samples first?

When your gallery is ready, I will arrange to view product samples with you and place an order for your own photographic keepsakes including fine art prints, wall art and albums (and maybe some gifts for family too).

Your photos are forever so I encourage you to let me help with creating your own heirlooms!

How Long does the ordering process take?

If you are ordering fine are prints wall art, the average turnaround time is 2-4 weeks (but may vary in peak seasons such as Christmas).

For albums, the design process can take a little longer - once we discuss your choices, I will put together your design and provide a proof for approval. Upon ordering, albums typically take 3-4 weeks to arrive.
