Questions & Answers
My style is a thoughtful blend of documentary, candid, and cinematic techniques. I primarily adopt a documentary approach, capturing the authentic flow of your wedding day as it naturally unfolds, focusing on genuine moments and emotions. Woven into this is a strong emphasis on candid photography, where I capture the spontaneous laughter, heartfelt glances, and unscripted interactions that truly reflect the atmosphere. Finally, I bring a cinematic eye to composition and light, aiming to create beautiful, evocative images that tell your story with an artistic touch, resulting in a collection of memories that are both real and beautifully rendered.
How would you describe your photography style?
As a destination wedding photographer, I don't just capture beautiful images—I craft visual stories that transport you back to every emotion of your day. My approach combines documentary-style storytelling with artistic composition, ensuring I capture both the grand moments against breathtaking backdrops and the intimate, spontaneous interactions that make your celebration uniquely yours.
What truly sets my work apart is my understanding of destination weddings' unique rhythm and logistics. I know how to work with different lighting conditions, cultural customs, and venue constraints while maintaining the relaxed, joyful atmosphere you want on your wedding day.
What makes your photography different?
While I don’t shoot film photography, I’m a huge fan of the timeless aesthetic and character that classic film stocks bring. That love for film absolutely influences how I work — especially in post-processing. I carefully edit my digital images to emulate the tones, textures, and depth of iconic film stocks like Kodak Portra or Fuji 400H. My goal is to give you images that feel natural, nostalgic, and emotionally rich — with all the beauty of film and the reliability of digital.
Do you shoot film photography?
Absolutely! I work closely with a handpicked team of talented and trusted videographers who share my vision and approach to weddings and events.
Collaborating with these videographers allows us to seamlessly interact and coordinate during weddings, ensuring that we capture every precious detail and emotion of your day. We work together as a cohesive team, complementing each other's skills and perspectives to deliver a stunning visual story.
Can you recommend a trusted videographer?
I offer a range of packages to cater to different needs and preferences. For weddings and elopements, I provide refined packages that include comprehensive coverage and a selection of services tailored to capture the essence of your special day. These packages are thoughtfully designed to offer a variety of options and accommodate various budgets.
In addition to the predefined packages, I also offer the flexibility of creating bespoke packages. This allows you to customize the services and addons based on your specific requirements and vision.
What packages do you offer?
I work primarily as a solo photographer, and there are a couple of reasons behind this approach. Firstly, working alone allows me to maintain a high level of discretion and blend seamlessly into the background. This enables me to capture candid moments and genuine emotions without causing any disruption or distraction.
Secondly, for most weddings and events, a second shooter isn't necessary. I always come prepared with two cameras and a variety of lenses, which allows me to cover different perspectives and distances effectively. Over the years, this setup has proven to be highly reliable, ensuring that no important moments are missed.
However, in the case of larger-scale weddings or events where multiple angles and extensive coverage are required, I am more than happy to arrange for a second photographer at an extra charge.
Do you work alone or have a team of photographers?
I am a keen traveller and I'd be more than happy to travel for your wedding.
For destination weddings away from home more than 150 Km, an extra charge for travel expenses is required. With regards to accommodation, this has to be evaluated on a case by case basis, as one or two nights may be required. Most of times my clients are able to book a room for me in the same hotel where their guests are staying. If that is not possible, we can arrange a booking for me at some hotel or B&B nearby.
Do you travel, and do you charge a travel fee and/or accommodation?
For professional wedding photography, I'm constantly updating my equipment with the latest and best cameras and lenses. Right now I primarily shoot with two full-frame mirrorless cameras. These bodies are the top of the line and provide amazing image quality, speed, and reliability that I need to capture all the moments from a wedding day.
In addition to the bodies, I usually have 4 lenses with me at each wedding.
Having dual camera bodies and multiple lens options allows me to be versatile on the fly and not miss any moments.
What equipment do you use for photography?
I may already be familiar with your venue, but even if I haven’t worked there before, it’s absolutely not a problem. I’m very used to adapting to different locations and lighting conditions. Before the wedding, I always take time to research the venue—looking at photos, maps, and anything I can find to get a feel for the space. On the day, I arrive early to scout the location in person and find the best spots for photos. Whether it’s a grand villa, a quiet garden, or something totally unique, I’ll make sure to capture its beauty and atmosphere in a way that fits your story.
Are you familiar with our wedding or reception venue?
I completely understand that unexpected things can happen, and I’ll always do my best to be flexible if you need to reschedule your wedding. If your date changes, I’ll work closely with you to find a new one that works with my availability.
If I’m free on your new date, I’d be happy to move forward without any issues. If I’m already booked, I’ll help you explore other options, including recommending a trusted colleague who can take over.
In case we’re unable to find a new date and you decide to cancel, the terms in our contract will apply. This helps protect both sides and outlines how cancellations and any potential fees are handled.
What is your policy on rescheduling our wedding?
Yes, absolutely! I provide my clients with the digital copies of all the high-resolution edited images from their wedding day.
The exact number of images you will receive can vary depending on the duration of the coverage, the events and activities that take place, and other factors unique to your wedding. On average, for a full-day coverage, clients can typically expect to receive around 500-700 edited photos.
Please note that these numbers are approximate and can vary from wedding to wedding. My focus is on quality rather than quantity, and I meticulously select and edit the best images that tell the story of your day.
Will we receive digital copies of all images–and how many will that be?
To secure your wedding date, a signed contract and a 20% non-refundable retainer are required. This guarantees your date is locked into my calendar and my services are reserved just for you.
Once I receive your signed contract and retainer, I’ll send over a confirmation and receipt—your booking will be official. The contract includes all the details about what’s included, as well as my payment and cancellation policies.
The remaining balance is due on your wedding day. If you have any questions along the way, I’m here to help. My goal is to make the booking process smooth and stress-free so you can focus on enjoying your wedding planning.
How do we secure our booking and what is the payment schedule?
There's no definitive rule for how far in advance you need to secure your date. However, I generally recommend looking to book at least one year out, if not further, especially for popular wedding dates.
Weekends in the late spring through summer and fall seasons like May through October are extremely popular dates.
Of course, if your special date falls outside of peak wedding months or on a weekday like Monday through Thursday then you may be fine booking 6-12 months ahead.
How long in advance do you suggest to book?
The turnaround time for receiving your final edited wedding photos typically depends on my workload around your wedding date. I work on weddings post-processing chronologically to stay organized.
In general, I aim to have photos delivered within 3-4 months of your wedding date. So for a June wedding, you can expect to receive your full gallery by early September. For weddings in my busier seasons of May-October, this 3 month window allows adequate time for editing hundreds of images while maintaining my high standards.
However, I do understand newlyweds are eager to relive their special day through the photos! If you require a faster delivery, I offer expedited editing for an additional fee. With expedited service, I can have photos processed within 4-8 weeks in many cases.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
We don't feel comfortable in front of a camera, will this be a problem?
Not at all! Feeling comfortable and at ease in front of the camera is a common concern for many people. However, I want to assure you that it won't be a problem during our sessions. My approach as a photographer is unobtrusive and focused on capturing candid moments. I believe that the most authentic and beautiful photographs come from natural interactions, genuine emotions, and real expressions.
I understand that not everyone is used to posing or being the center of attention, and that's perfectly fine. My goal is to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere where you can be yourselves. I won't force any uncomfortable poses or staged moments. Instead, I'll be there to document your story as it naturally unfolds, capturing the true essence of who you are.
By blending into the background and observing from a distance, I aim to make you forget about the camera's presence.
