FAQs
We can imagine you have a million questions running around in your head, so we have put together a list of commonly asked questions to assist. Should you wish to ask us something that is not covered here or have enquiries about our family shoot services and portrait photography, please shoot us a message on the Contact Page.

Will you hold a date while we decide?
We are unable to hold a date unless the 25% deposit has been paid. Our services are provided on a first come, first serve basis and we may have bookings a year in advance.

Do you both photograph the wedding?
Yes, both of us photograph the day/night, only separating for the preparation photography.
Aside from that, we do not split up or shoot separately throughout the day.

Are you a member of the AIPP?
Peta is an Emerging Member of the AIPP.

Do you shoot family photos at the wedding?
Yes we do. We ask you to complete the details of the family members you want photographed on the booking form and also recommend that you have a family member who knows everyone to assist in the ordering on the day.

Can we give you a shot list of photos we want?
You can, but we prefer to not work from a list on the day. We have found it can stifle our creativity and we prefer to focus what is happening in front of us. We work very candidly throughout the day so working off a list is not really our style. If there is a certain photo you want with someone, please list the details in the booking form.

How much time do we need for location photography?
In an ideal world, 60-90mins is a preferred amount of time (please remember to accommodate for travel time)

Do you shoot with film or digital cameras?
We shoot with Canon digital.

How many photos do we get?
You will receive between 600 – 700 images from the day depending on what sort of package coverage you have booked.

Do we get every single photo that you take on the day?
We do delete some photos. For example, blurred, test shots, photographs with exposure problems, people blinking etc.

Do you include high resolution images on disc in your package?
Yes, we will include both high and web resolution images.
The high resolution shots can be printed by any photography lab for your family and friends. The web versions will give you online suitable shots to share electronically.

Do you retouch the photos that we receive?
Our work is given overall tonal adjustments and some are converted to black & white. We do not do digital effects that are not considered ’darkroom techniques’, for example removing objects, making people thinner, smoothing skin etc.

Can we tell you how we want the photos retouched?
No. The style of our photography is what you are hiring us for and is our view and how we feel that image should look.

Do you include prints as part of the package?
Not by default however prints can be requested for an additional fee. Please discuss with us and we shall give you our pricing.

Do you do engagement photography?
Yes we do and we recommend this as it is a way for you to become comfortable with us and our style. A wedding day is a long day and the more comfortable you are with our presence the better the photographs will be.

Can our friends come to our Engagement session with us?
We prefer not to have extra people on the shoot. Sometimes it’s hard to get that comfortable feeling with other people watching. Yes, exceptions can be made of course, for example you may wish to have your children or pets involved. All we ask is that you discuss this with us in advance so that we can make any required arrangements.

How do we book you?
Please contact us for our Booking Form and Contract. Upon receipt of the signed agreement, we just require payment of the 25% deposit to confirm your date/booking.

Should we provide you with a meal at the reception?
If the full package; including reception coverage is booked, a meal is required for each photographer in attendance.

How long before we get our photos from the wedding?
The turnaround time is approximately four to six weeks.

Will we be able to view the photographs online?
Because we know you’ll be anxious to see them, we shall provide a slideshow of images in an online gallery for you to share with family and friends.

Do you provide album design and printing services?
We can include an album as part of your package. This can be discussed in greater details with you at the initial consultation.
