WEDDING DAY

DELIVERY

LETS PLAN

GET IN TOUCH

Let’s See If We’re a Perfect Match!

Just like planning that first date with your fiancée, let’s meet and see if we’re the right fit. Reach out, and we’ll arrange a relaxed chat at our cozy studio or over Zoom if that’s easier.

Share your wedding dreams with Michael, and he’ll show you his work through albums and slideshows. Together, you’ll sketch out a timeline and brainstorm ideas for your big day. These fun, laid-back meetings usually last an hour—though some couples love to stay longer!

You’re Booked—Time to Relax!

You’ve seen my work, loved my style, and we’ve connected—now you’ve officially booked me as your photographer! One big to-do list item checked off.

Next, I’ll send you a wedding questionnaire to gather all the key details, like venue addresses and contact info. You’ll also receive your chosen photography package breakdown, including inclusions, payment schedule, and bank details.

To secure your date, a $500 deposit is required. It’s transferable if plans change but non-refundable. Rest easy—you’ll get a receipt and confirmation for every payment, so everything’s clear and organized.

We’ve Got You Covered Every Step of the Way!

From your deposit to your wedding day, we’ll stay in touch through emails or calls to check on your planning and answer any questions.

If you’ve booked an engagement or portrait session, we’ll schedule and capture those special moments too!

A few weeks before your big day, we’ll meet again (depending on your package) to finalize all the details and logistics, ensuring everything runs seamlessly.

It’s Your Big Day—Let’s Make Magic!

Relax and enjoy your wedding day knowing you’ve got a skilled, experienced photographer by your side. Michael will keep things fun, natural, and stress-free, helping you feel at ease in front of the camera.

He’ll capture every moment beautifully without being intrusive—you might even forget he’s there!

Relive Your Wedding Day!

In the 3-4 weeks after your wedding, I’ll carefully edit and perfect your photos. Once ready, we’ll meet at the studio to relive the magic over a drink. You’ll receive a USB of your images and a private online gallery to share with loved ones.

Using our online gallery, pick your favorites from home, and we’ll design your album’s first draft for your feedback. Once approved, your stunning printed album will be ready in a few weeks.

By now, we’re practically friends—let’s stay connected and maybe meet again someday!

frequently asked

Answer:

Question:

We get it—every couple has a budget, and we’re here to help you stick to it! Our prices are transparent and listed on our website [HERE](insert link). Whether your wedding is in a grand ballroom or a cozy backyard, our pricing stays the same for everyone. No hidden fees or price hikes based on your venue or other vendors.

Your package starts at the listed price, and you can customize it by adding only the extras you need—no unnecessary inclusions. Plus, all our prices include GST, so what you see is what you pay. Simple, fair, and tailored to you!

How much and what do you get?

Question:

Answer:

Sometimes! A second photographer is an optional add-on, listed in our extras. I’ve spent nearly 20 years shooting weddings solo and can handle your day seamlessly on my own. For intimate weddings in one location, one photographer is often all you need.

However, a second shooter is great for larger or more spread-out events. They’re perfect for capturing both partners getting ready in separate locations, candid ceremony moments, and helping organize family photos. They can also head to the reception early to photograph the room setup while I’m shooting portraits.

Plus, a second photographer brings a fresh perspective, giving you more variety in your images.

Do you work with a second photographer?

Question:

Answer:

Do you edit all of our images?

Absolutely! We fine-tune every image, perfecting exposure, color, and contrast. Your favorites get extra attention with advanced edits, and we also create timeless black-and-white versions (you’ll get the color originals too).

Do You Offer Videography?

No, I specialize in photography, but I’d be happy to recommend talented cinematographers I’ve worked with over the years—for every budget!

Answer:

Question:

How long does it take to get our photos?

We capture countless moments at your wedding to ensure nothing is missed. After the big day, we carefully process and perfect each image, as we shoot in professional RAW format for the best quality.

Your photos will be ready within 4 weeks—just in time for your honeymoon return! You’ll receive a USB with high-resolution images and a private online gallery to share with loved ones.

Need a sneak peek for thank-you cards or social media? Just let us know, and we’ll happily send a few images your way!

Question:

Answer:

How many photos do we receive?

It depends on factors like hours of coverage, guest count, and events. On average, a 6-hour wedding with one photographer delivers around 800 images—and even more with a second shooter!.

Question:

Answer:

How do we receive the photos?

Let’s set up a date for you to visit the studio, enjoy a glass of wine, and relive your wedding day with a custom slideshow. Most packages include a sleek metal USB in a presentation box, filled with high-resolution, watermark-free images. You’re free to print and share them as you like!

Question:

Answer:

You mention an online gallery in your packages

Yes! Your photos will be hosted in a password-protected online gallery, perfect for sharing with friends and family. Guests can download low-resolution images for free (ideal for devices) or order prints and other products. The gallery stays live for about 12 months.
