Frequently Asked Photography Questions

Your question not here? Contact me!

Camera shy?

A photoshoot with me is empowering, brilliant & adventurous!
My couples feel relaxed to be themselves & when required I give you
enough direction to create images you love.
View my Style Guide for more info on preparing for your photo shoot.

Portraits & bridal-party photos?

I recommend couple & bridal-party portraits take 90 mins.
It’s important to have enough time to capture your images exactly as you want them.
Contact me to help plan the time you need to create the images you want.
View my Style Guide will help you prepare for your wedding portraits.

Best time of day for wedding portraits?

I will take beautiful images at any time of day.  However, here are some things to consider:
Bright midday sun also creates deep shadows, so taking your bridal photos in a shaded area
will give you a more natural looking image.  Evening (or very early morning) light creates the softest,
most natural look, so a professional photographer’s favourite time of day is the hour before sunset.
Finally, you don’t need to worry about bad weather, grey skies make for beautifully moody backdrops!

Preparing for a professional photography session?

My photography Style Guide will help you prepare for your shoot.
Most importantly, be in communication with me about anything you need
& everything you want for your photos!  I provide an one-hour pre-shoot meeting and/or online questionnaire,
and depending on your package,  unlimited email/phone contact prior to your shoot.
