General
I recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak season (October-March). Some dates book out more than a year ahead, so it is always worth getting in touch early to secure your preferred date.
Absolutely! While I'm based in Wellington, I regularly cover the Kapiti Coast, Wairarapa, Hutt Valley, Martinborough, and Hawke's Bay regions. Travel within the greater Wellington region is included in most packages. For locations further afield, a travel fee may apply.
Wellington weather is famously unpredictable, and I've shot in every condition imaginable! Rain can actually create stunning, dramatic photos. I always have backup indoor locations in mind, and for weddings, we'll discuss a Plan B during your pre-wedding consultation.
All photos are delivered via a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images. Wedding galleries are delivered within 72 hours, well ahead of the industry standard of 6-8 weeks.
Yes! I offer Afterpay on all bookings, so you can pay in four interest-free instalments. A deposit is required to secure your date, with the balance due before the event.
I understand plans can change. Cancellations made more than 30 days before the event receive a full refund minus the deposit. Within 30 days, the deposit is non-refundable but can be applied to a rescheduled date within 12 months.
I shoot with professional-grade 4K cameras and a range of lenses suited to every situation. For videography, I use cinema-grade equipment and drones for aerial footage. All equipment is backed up with spares on every shoot.

Wedding Photography
Using AI-enhanced editing workflows, I process and deliver your complete wedding gallery within 72 hours of your wedding day. This means you'll be sharing your photos with family and friends while the excitement is still fresh, not waiting 6-8 weeks like most photographers.
The pre-wedding shoot is a relaxed session where we get to know each other and you get comfortable in front of the camera. It typically lasts 30-60 minutes at a location of your choice in Wellington. The photos make great save-the-dates or engagement announcements!
Yes! I offer combined photo and video packages. Having one photographer handle both means a more cohesive look and feel, plus you only need to coordinate with one person on the day. The wedding video package is $4,250 and includes a cinematic highlight reel.
For a full-day wedding, you can expect 400-800+ professionally edited photos. I focus on quality over quantity, and every image in your gallery is carefully edited and colour-corrected using AI-enhanced tools.
A second shooter is available as an add-on ($650) and is recommended for weddings with more than 80 guests or multiple ceremony/reception locations. They capture different angles and ensure no moment is missed.
My style is documentary and candid. I capture genuine moments as they happen rather than posing everything. That said, I'll guide you through a few key portraits so you have a mix of natural and polished shots. My goal is to tell your story authentically.
I have a network of trusted professional photographers in Wellington who can step in at short notice. In the unlikely event I can't attend, I'll arrange a replacement of equal quality at no additional cost.
Of course! I'm happy to share full galleries from recent weddings so you can see the complete story, not just the highlight reel. Just get in touch and I'll send you a link.
03
Pricing & Payment
Yes, all prices listed are inclusive of GST.
Yes, a deposit is required to secure your date. The deposit is typically 30% of the package price, with the balance due before your wedding day.
I accept bank transfer, credit/debit card, and Afterpay (pay in 4 interest-free instalments). Payment details are included in your booking confirmation.
Absolutely! The packages listed are starting points. I'm happy to create a custom package tailored to your specific needs. Just get in touch and we'll work something out.
Travel within the greater Wellington region (including the Hutt Valley and Porirua) is included at no extra cost. For locations further afield like Wairarapa, Kapiti Coast, or Hawke's Bay, a travel fee applies.

Delivery & Gallery
I use advanced AI tools to speed up the editing process without sacrificing quality. Colour correction, exposure adjustments, and retouching are all completed faster, which is how I deliver your wedding gallery in 72 hours instead of the industry-standard 6-8 weeks.
Yes! I offer premium Queensberry albums and a range of print options. These can be ordered through your online gallery or by getting in touch directly. Print prices start from $60 for a 12x8.
Your online gallery remains active for 12 months from delivery. I recommend downloading your favourites within this period. Full gallery downloads are available for purchase if you'd like to keep everything.
Absolutely! Your online gallery includes a shareable link that you can send to anyone. They can view, favourite, and download images directly.
I don't provide RAW files as they're unfinished work and don't represent the final quality. However, every image in your gallery is professionally edited and delivered in high resolution.
