The process:
I. Contact & Meet
Oh hey! Thanks for considering me as your photographer. Once you have contacted me, I will be in touch shortly. I like to meet with my clients beforehand particularly for weddings and engagements either in person or over the phone. Together, we can plan out the day to ensure it is perfect.
II. The Big Day
And so the day has come and I can't wait to be a part of it. Depending on your booking, I usually visit the location prior to the date to scout spots to take photos in. The big day can sometimes be a bit overwhelming, but just know as your photographer I will make the shoot as easy-going and relaxed as cheese.
III. Deliver memories
And after all that, you will receive a lifetime of memories allowing you to relive this day like it never ended, and additionally, share with all your loved ones.
FAQ
What should I wear to my engagement shoot?
A.Whatever you would like and are comfortable in! Some couples choose to also hold their trial makeup and/or hair session on the same day which is a great idea if your vendor is available. As long as you like what you are wearing, then I'll be pleased too. I had a lovely bride once say to me - when in doubt, Pinterest is your best friend. And I could not agree with her more!
How do you ensure photos are backed up?
A.A photographer's nightmare - losing photos. Luckily, *touch wood*, this has never happened on any of my shoots as I have many backup systems in place. I use a dual SD card slot system on my camera which saves all RAW files onto both SD cards. I also have multiple hard drives and SSD drives that store the files as soon as I return from a shoot.
What should I expect on a shoot with you?
A.A whole lot of fun! You can expect to have a chill, relaxed and fun time together. Hug, laugh, kiss, dance, whatever it is that the moment brings.
Help! I don't know how to pose.
A.You don't have to worry about that at all! It's my job to make you feel comfortable and relaxed behind the camera. I'll guide you through poses, getting that beautiful lighting, etc and capture all raw and natural moments as they come by.
What equipment do you bring along?
A.Depending on the shoot you'll find me accompanied by various different equipments. But usually, the bits of glass that stick to me like glue on most shoots are my 2 Sony cameras, multiple SD cards and batteries, my Godox flash, a range of lenses, diffusers and bounce cards, emergency kits, first aid, my emotional support water bottle, and (particularly for weddings) a pack of tissues for when I start tearing up on the first dance.
What is in your 'Don't Panic Kit' that you bring on shoots and weddings?
A.If you've been on a session with me, you will know all about my 'Don't Panic' kit. I carry around some emergency essentials for mishaps that may happen so you don't have to worry.
In the kit are:
Tissues, Wet Wipes, Safety Pins, Bobby Pins, Lint Rollers, Combs, & a Compact Mirror ◡̈
