FAQ’s
How do I choose a wedding photographer?
When choosing your wedding photographer, you first need to determine the style of photography that you love. It all comes down to personal taste. If you’re reading this than the chances are you have already seen and like our images, in which case, you’re halfway there! The next step is equally important. Arrange a face to face meeting with your potential photographer to discuss your wedding photography in more detail, and you’ll soon figure out if this is the person that you want sharing the biggest day of your life with you. It is important that you feel comfortable in their company.
If you love our wedding photography and/or wedding films, we would love to meet you. Contact us to arrange a meeting.
Why choose an accredited professional photographer?
An Accredited Professional is a member of the AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photographers) who meets high standards for skill, experience and professional business conduct.
The AIPP accreditation standard has three components:
- Business and experience pre requisite which must be met before applying for accreditation.
- An entry assessment
- A continuing professional development obligation. Maintaining up to date skills and business practices each year.
The AIPP continually monitors its accreditation requirements to ensure that the standard for accredited membership is appropriate for the profession of photography.
How long before my wedding should I book my wedding photographer?
Once you have secured your venue and have a date locked in, your next step is to book your photographer. Prime dates in peak season (November to March) can book out 18 months in advance. We would encourage you to book your photographer as soon as you have your wedding date.

How many photographers will we have on the day?
From our experience, and in our opinion, two sets of eyes are better than one. For this reason, we always photograph and video our weddings with two photographers/videographers. This allows us to capture your day from a variety of angles and to ensure no important moments are missed.
Smaller intimate weddings and ceremonies may only require one photographer / videographer.
How long will it take to get my photos / video back?
We aim to have your images / video back to you within 8 weeks. This can extend out to 12 weeks during peak season. Generally we are so excited after your wedding day we will sneak you a few of our favourite shots the following week.
Are you prepared to travel for my wedding?
Yes! We love to travel! Our passion for our work has taken us to some fantastic locations, including Broome, Fiji, and all over Western Australia. For weddings outside of the Perth metro area a travel fee may be required. Don’t forget to ask about discounts for destination weddings.
Do I get all of my photos from my wedding day?
Yes! You will receive all of your photos from the day. All images will be fully processed and edited, supplied in high resolution (print ready) on a USB. There is no obligation to print with us, however we would love the opportunity to help you with the printing and displaying of your images.
Do we need to have a pre-wedding or engagement shoot?
While not essential, pre-wedding and engagement sessions are a great way to get familiar with your photographer, and ease the nerves in front of the camera. It’s also great way to scout locations for your wedding day and the photos are perfect for save-the-date cards. We occasionally offer special packages where you receive a complimentary pre wedding shoot.
