Photos from formal to fun are taken at the locations of your choice. The atmosphere of the day and personalities of the Bridal Group will be captured on digital imaging to portray the beauty of the occasion.

Various wedding plans are available and can be adapted to suit your needs.

During the marriage ceremony I try to remain as inconspicuous as I can so that you can enjoy your day to the full. Every wedding is special and unique and your photographic requirements are also unique. Because of this I remain flexible and will adapt as best as I can to give you both what you really want.

Photographing any wedding can be considered in sections:-

  • Bride’s home – pre-wedding photos

  • Arrival at the venue and the ceremony

  • Family and group photos at the ceremony venue

  • Formal and informal photos of the Wedding Party

  • The reception including cutting the cake, Bridal table and speeches

Any combination or all these sections can be covered and it is your choice what I photograph. It is your day and I am there to make it as enjoyable as I can and give you lasting memories of your special day.

To help you decide here are some factors to consider:-

Photos are taken in high resolution digital format to give maximum coverage and quality.

I take the formal and informal photos in the locations of your choice using up to three distinctly different backgrounds or areas.

Where and how much you want photographed is your choice. This needs to be thought through early to make the day stress free.

Check my gallery of wedding photographs to help you appreciate my style of work.

Below I have listed some guidelines for various plans to help you make your decisions.

Full cover of the wedding, from the Brides home to the reception, covering speeches and cake cutting. You will receive approximately 200 photos on a CD.

Covering the Wedding Ceremony, family and group photos, formal and informal photos and posed cutting of the cake. You will receive approximately 150 photos.

Either the Ceremony and family and group photos or the formal and informal photos only. You will receive approximately 60 photos.

Booking is not confirmed until a $100.00 deposit is paid. Full payment must be made on or before the date of the Wedding.

The photos are put onto a CD, in full resolution, so you may print them off at your leisure. You receive a boxed album containing thumbnails, of all the photos, numbered as on the CD.  I do retain the right to use any photographs for display or promotional work but for your convenience do not retain copyright.

The photos will be ready to collect within two weeks of the Wedding day. 

I like to visit the venues in the week prior to the wedding to familiarise myself with the surroundings the photos are to be taken in. This allows me to pre-plan some special settings to make your photos unique to you.

A final discussion of times, venues and plan will be made at this time.

I do my best to portray the personalities of the Wedding Party in the informal photos and try to make this an enjoyable and relaxed time.

Prices are very reasonable and quality is guaranteed. As I am prepared to travel out of my home area to take your photos I cannot give firm prices here as distance is a consideration. The fact that I have photographed weddings as far away as Wellington and Hamilton shows my prices are very competitive and standard very high. The Grand Chateau and other Central Plateau areas are a specialty.
