wedding PACKAGES - Premier wedding photography dedicated to capturing every detail and telling the full story of your special day.

I’m passionate about wedding photography, specialising in candid, storytelling documentary style. I’ll dedicate as much time as needed on your wedding day to capture a complete and authentic story. If you’d like formal shots as well, I’m more than happy to include those in your coverage.

I use professional photography equipment and back up all images on two memory cards in-camera for added security. I also bring backup cameras and lenses to handle any unexpected issues.

At my office, I create additional backups on multiple drives and in the cloud to protect your images from potential computer or hard drive failures. Each photo is individually edited with great care and attention to detail by me personally.

Approximately one-third of the images will be edited in black and white, but if you have a preference, please let me know on the booking form.

Your high-resolution edited images will be uploaded to a secure online gallery, and I’ll provide you with a link and password to access them. You’re welcome to share this gallery with your family and friends.

FAQ

where are you based?

I am based in Johannesburg. Although I grew up in Pretoria, I have called Johannesburg home for over 25 years.

How long have you been a photographer?

I began my photography journey in my early twenties. I bought my first SLR film camera in 1994 and my first DSLR (digital) camera in 2004. I started specialising in wedding photography in 2019 and have truly enjoyed it ever since. I have photographed over 100 weddings, and I loved the unique experience and challenges of each one as no 2 weddings are the same. It is always a thrill to meet the couples and to experience and capture their joy and love on their big day.

hOW & When WILL WE RECEIVE OUR IMAGES?

You will receive your images through a digital online gallery. This gallery will provide you with a link and password, allowing you to download the images in both high resolution and a slightly smaller resolution suitable for social media. Additionally, you can share this gallery link with family and friends if you wish.

You will receive your images between 6 - 9 weeks after your wedding, depending on the season. My Diamond Package has a turnaround time of only 4 - 6 weeks.

hOW do we book you for our wedding?

There is a wedding photography contract to be completed and signed with a 50% reservation retainer payable. The balance is due 1 month before your wedding.

What other types of photography do you offer besides weddings?

While my primary focus is on weddings and couple photography, I also specialise in a variety of other events and functions. My services include:

Social Events: From birthdays and engagements to anniversaries and themed parties, I capture the special moments of your personal celebrations.
Corporate Functions: Whether it's a large outdoor event or a more intimate business gathering, I provide professional coverage for conferences, seminars, and corporate parties.
Other Events: I also handle a range of other events such as product launches, charity functions, and any occasion where memorable moments need to be captured.
Studio Photography - I do the following shoots:
Modelling shoots
Corporate Portrait photography for those that need photos for Linkedin, social media, website, magazine or to promote themselves in other ways
Maternity Shoots
Couple Shoots
