PRE-WEDDING PREPARATIONS
The stress of planning can take away from the joy of your wedding day. I work with you before the big day to plan every shot list and scout locations, making sure nothing is left to chance. Your wedding day should be enjoyed, not managed.
YOUR SPECIAL DAY
Many couples worry their photographer will miss the true essence of their day or intrude on their moments. My approach is different; I blend in, capturing raw emotions and real laughter without staging—you won’t even know I’m there until you see the beautiful results.

Pre-Wedding Consultations:
Meet to discuss your schedule, special requests, and photography style preferences and work directly with Shane (ongoing access to phone calls and/or messages) .

Capture every essential moment with a blend of candid shots as Shane hides in plain sight (invisible).

I am dedicated to capturing the beauty and emotion of your special day with the utmost professionalism and creativity. We understand the importance of this day, and our goal is to deliver a collection of photos that exceed your expectations.
Quality Assurance: I guarantee that the photos delivered will be of professional quality, edited to industry standards, and reflective of the style portrayed in our portfolio. If you are not satisfied with the quality of any of the images, we commit to a post-event editing session to correct specific issues at no additional cost.
Delivery Promise: I guarantee that your photographs will be delivered within the agreed-upon timeframe as stated in our contract. Should there be any unexpected delay, I will inform you immediately and provide an adjusted delivery date, along with a complimentary set of additional digital prints for your inconvenience.
Backup Coverage: In the unlikely event that I am unable to attend due to severe illness or extreme circumstances, I guarantee the availability of a professional backup photographer who is briefed and capable of covering your wedding at the same level of quality and professionalism. This ensures that no matter what, your day will be covered.
Customer Service: I am committed to responsive and attentive customer service from the initial consultation through to the delivery of your photos. Should you have any concerns or requests, we promise to address them promptly and thoroughly.
Re-Shoot Policy: While wedding days are one-time events and cannot be recreated, if there are critical, specific shots agreed upon in advance that are missing from the final delivery due to photographer error, I will offer a complimentary photo session to make up for this oversight, conditions permitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
When couples are considering hiring a wedding photographer, they often have a range of questions to ensure they make an informed choice. Here are some of the most common questions that I hear.
What is your photography style?
My style is mainly candid and natural. Most of my time with you is spent blending in and letting the day go at its own pace. Time is set aside to get family shots and a quick portrait session but the emphasis displaced on keeping you at the party.
Can we meet before the wedding to discuss details?
Yes, I make myself available over Zoom anytime in the lead up to the wedding. Often couples have a series of quick questions that they need answered. About a week before the wedding we have a full meeting to go through the day in finer details and put in a photo plan in place.
Can we see your portfolio?
Sure, you will find a selection of my work on my website. Schedule a call to review my extensive collection.
What packages do you offer?
I try to keep the packages simple. My coverage starts 3 hours before the start of the ceremony right up until dinner call. There is an option to keep me for the evening where I cover speeches, cake cutting, golden hour portraits and dancing. I offer a choice of wedding albums too.
What is your backup plan if you are unable to shoot my wedding for an unexpected reason?
In the unlikely event that I cannot cover the wedding I have a buddy system with a number of fellow professional photographers that I can call on to step in and take my place. I would never leave you stranded and make you there was a suitable replacement.
How many photos do we receive, and are they edited?
On average, you receive about 800 if I stay until dinner call and about 1400 if I stay for the entire evening.
What is your policy on travel fees?
All travel fees are included. For overseas weddings I build it into the pricing.
Do you offer a contract?
Yes, I offer an industry standard wedding contract that outlines what you can expect from me.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, I have full public liability and indemnity insurance.
How do you handle low-light situations, like receptions or evening events?
I always carry a portable studio lighting kit with me in case I need it. In general, my equipment can handle most low-light situations.
How long after the wedding will we receive the photos?
Depending on the time of year, in low season it is a matter of days but in the middle of summer it could be a week. I always try to get a sneak peek back as soon as possible.
Can we provide a list of specific shots we would like?
Yes! I encourage you to be a part of the planning and often refer to it as a collaboration. Feel free to steer me as required. I always default back to the candid shots.
Do you have experience with weddings of our size and type?
I have been photographing weddings for ____ years and have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of wedding styles and sizes. This experience has equipped me to handle a diverse range of situations and I'm eager to adapt to the unique aspects of your special day.
What happens if we need to cancel or change our date?
Hopefully it is a simple matter of moving the date in our diaries.
Do you cover both the bride and groom prep on the morning of the wedding?
Yes I do. I think it is important for the story to cover both sides. I often start a little earlier than usual to cover any distance between the bride and groom prep. But I think it's important and I go to great lengths to make sure I visit both of you on the morning of the wedding.
