How far should we book our wedding in advanced?
Many couples book me a year in advance. But, there are many spontaneous requests. The earlier you contact, the better the chances are that your date is still available in my calendar.
How long have you been photographing weddings for?
I started assisting professional wedding photographers at the age of 16. By the time I was 20, I was professionally photographing weddings by myself.
What is your retouching process?
I do all the retouching myself. Every photo receives treatment.
I generally do not release RAW. If you want the RAW images, you will be receiving all of the “chapters” that didn’t make it to the final cut. This is why there will be an up-charge for the RAW files, if requested. Not only for my time, but most importantly for the misinterpretation of my work.

Is it possible to also get the albums in B&W?
If you would like your albums in B&W or Sepia, just indicate which one you would like, there is no additional fee required.
How many photos will I get?
This all depends on which package you choose. For a full day wedding (7-10 hours), a couple can receive up to 1,000 - 1,500 all retouched digital files.
How do you choose the style of retouching?
I normally go off of the mood of the day and combine it with the natural tones in the photos with nice pops of colours. If you have a certain style you are looking for, as in a washed out/muted or vintage or an interesting colour alter scheme, just let me know and I will send you samples of the style and we can go from there.
When can I expect the completed wedding album?
A wedding album typically takes up to 1.5 months.
How does your online wedding gallery work?
The pictures in your online gallery will be ready for download without watermarks, without extra fees. The gallery is password protected. You will be able to send the gallery with login/password to your family, friends, and guests. However, this feature is only available for the full wedding package. There is an additional fee if you do not choose the full wedding package and request an online gallery.
Are we able to view full recent/past wedding galleries?
That is no problem! Let me know which package you are looking into and I can privately send over an album or two.
