FAQ - WEDDINGS
What is your photography style, and how do you approach wedding photography ?
My style is documentary and candid, focused on capturing real moments as they naturally unfold. I love telling the story of a wedding day through authentic emotions : laughter, tears, quiet in-between glances, rather than staged poses.
When I approach a wedding, I like to blend in with the guests and create a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere so people forget the camera is even there. This allows me to capture honest, heartfelt images that truly reflect the couple’s connection and the spirit of the day.
Of course, I’ll guide you gently when needed (especially for family portraits or creative couple shots), but most of the time, my goal is for you to enjoy your day fully while I document it candidly.
Can I add second photographer ?
Yes! A second photographer can be added for extra coverage at an additional cost. Having a second shooter allows us to capture more angles, moments, and candid reactions, especially during key parts of the day like the ceremony and reception.
That said, I’m very used to working solo and have mastered the art of moving quietly and efficiently, like a a ninja! I make sure nothing is missed while keeping a low profile, so you and your guests can stay fully present in the moment.
Can we have a video call before booking ?
Absolutely! As soon as you reach out, I’ll send you a link to my calendar where you can easily book a video call. This way, we can chat and make sure we’re a great fit before you make any decisions.
Can I extend the coverage the day of ?
Yes! I only book one wedding or event per date, which gives us the flexibility to extend coverage if needed. This ensures you won’t miss any special moments, and I can stay with you as long as your day requires.
What kind of gear do you use?
I shoot with two full-frame cameras, each with dual memory card slots for extra security, so your memories are always safely captured. I primarily use prime lenses, which give crisp, beautiful detail and stunning depth of field, and I always have backup gear on hand to ensure nothing is missed.
How long does it take to receive our photos, and do you offer sneak peeks ?
Absolutely! I can provide sneak peeks within a week if you’re excited to see a few highlights early on. I do ask about this ahead of time, as some couples prefer to experience their whole day all at once.
Your full gallery will be ready in 6–8 weeks, carefully edited and beautifully presented so you can relive every detail of your special day.
Do you shoot destination weddings?
Absolutely! I love travelling all over the globe. Please inquire about details.
