Your wedding day should be unique, and reflect you both as a couple. Always remember that the time you share with one another, your family and friends is a once in a lifetime event. Embrace every moment and put simply, make it your own. Below you will find a rough guideline of how my packages can work. These packages can be altered to fit your wedding day.
This package is for those who want their whole day captured. The details, the pre ceremony nerves, the day, the party, the memories.
The eight hour package is completely customisable to suit your wedding. Although here is the most common guide.
I like to spend around 50-60 mins with the first bridal party and about 60-75 mins with the second bridal party. Although these durations may change due to the size of the bridal party etc. Ideally it’s nice if the two sides are getting ready somewhere close to each other. If there is anything specific you would like to be captured at these times, we can chat in the lead up.
I always try to arrive at your ceremony space 30 minutes prior to kick off. Most ceremonies tend to go for around 15-30 minutes and I always recommend receiving some love and congratulations from your guests on conclusion, with family photos to follow.
Then bridal photos usually take around 35 – 45 minutes, and I tend to save photos of just the two of you for sunset.
Here is a potential timeline:
This package is for those who want only the main formalities captured on their wedding day.
The five hour package is completely customisable to suit your wedding. Although here is the most common guide.
I recommend the 5 hour package to commence 30 minutes prior to your ceremony time. That way I can capture some shots of your set up before guests arrive. A usual ceremony goes for 15-30 minutes and after you guys have sealed the deal with a kiss, made your way back down the aisle to receive some love and hugs from yours guests.
I suggest family photos to follow. A usual timeline for bridal party photos are around 35- 45minutes. Although this can be adjusted to suit your likings/wedding timeline/location/amount of people involved in bridal party.
If weather/time allows, sunset photos are a great option. Depending on ceremony time, the five hour package will more than likely allow myself to capture most if not all the main formalities.
Here is a potential timeline:
Extend your coverage for $700 per additional hour. Available for either of my packages and can be added on at any time – upon booking, in the lead-up, or even on the wedding night itself.
Enhance the memories by adding a Super 8 video to your package. This is shot on 8mm film and professionally edited into a 3-4 minute highlight film. Choose your own music or entrust me to choose for you. Super 8 can be added to your package at any time before your wedding.
I shoot two rolls for this package. Alongside the highlight clip you will receive both RAW rolls unedited via an online link.
Please note, I’m a one-man show. This means that if you choose to add on Super 8 video, you will have more captured overall but certain moments of your day will be captured on video or photo, as opposed to both simultaneously.
Add a nostalgic touch to your wedding gallery with the beauty of 35mm film. This add-on includes three rolls of professionally shot 35mm film, capturing your day with the unique look and character that only film can provide.
Choose to have your film shot entirely in black & white, colour, or a combination of both to suit your style and vision. Every image captured across the three rolls will be professionally developed and scanned in high resolution, then delivered alongside your digital gallery, giving you a beautiful blend of classic film and modern digital memories.
Due to the hands-on nature of both formats, the 35mm Film Add-On is not available with the Super 8 package. As I’m shooting both myself, I can only offer one film format per wedding to ensure each receives the attention it deserves.

Our photos are better than we could've ever imagined, his energy on the day made everyone feel so comfortable and truly cares about getting you the perfect photos.
