1. When should we book our wedding photographer?
It’s best to book your wedding photographer as soon as you’ve secured your wedding date and venue—ideally 9–12 months in advance. This ensures I’m available for your special day and gives us plenty of time to plan your engagement photo shoot and wedding day photography.
2. How far in advance do couples in Otago usually book a wedding photographer?
In Otago, couples often book their wedding photographer 12–18 months ahead, especially for popular summer weekends. If you’re planning a Dunedin or Central Otago wedding during peak season, early booking is highly recommended.
3. How do I choose the right wedding photographer in Otago?
Choosing your wedding photographer is about finding someone whose style and personality match your vision. Look through their portfolio, read reviews, and make sure you feel comfortable around them. I believe in blending into the background so you can focus on enjoying your day while I capture it beautifully.
4. What should I look for when selecting a Dunedin wedding photographer?
Look for a photographer with a consistent style, positive client feedback, and experience shooting weddings in different conditions. Dunedin weather can be unpredictable, so it’s important to choose someone adaptable who can capture stunning images no matter what the day brings.
5. Do you offer engagement photo shoots as part of your wedding photography packages?
Yes! Many of my customised wedding photography packages include an engagement photo shoot. It’s a great way for us to get to know each other, for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and to create beautiful images for your invitations or save-the-dates.
6. Can you photograph both the pre ceremony and the wedding reception?
Absolutely. I often start the day with getting your hair done and all the way to sharing the dance floor with your LOVE. My goal is to tell the complete story of your wedding day from start to finish.
7. How do you help couples feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera?
I keep things simple and fun. I’ll guide you with gentle prompts rather than stiff poses, helping you forget the camera is even there. My aim is to capture genuine emotion and connection so your photos truly reflect your relationship.
8. What happens if our wedding runs late on the day?
Weddings often run behind schedule, and that’s perfectly fine. I’m flexible and always prepared to adapt to changes so we still capture every important moment without added stress.
9. Do you travel outside Dunedin for weddings in Otago and beyond?
Yes, I happily travel across Otago, including Central Otago, Queenstown, and beyond. If your wedding is further afield, we can discuss travel arrangements when booking.
10. Can we customise a wedding photography package to suit our day?
Definitely. I offer tailored wedding photography packages so you can choose exactly what’s included—whether that’s an engagement shoot, full-day coverage, or just a few key hours. We’ll work together to create something perfect for your wedding.
