Weddings

Wedding Photography, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Congratulations on your engagement! It would be my pleasure to photograph your wedding! My wedding photography can include coverage from the bride’s home to the first few dances. Unlimited photographs are taken and you can ultimately receive a collection of 3-500+ high res digital images.

My approach creates natural, fun, fashionable photos that are full of style, creativity and artistic flair. No two photos are the same! You are left with a great story-telling documentary that lets you relive those special moments time and time again for the rest of your life! Here is what I have to offer: 

Consultation - I meet with you personally to discuss ideas, styles, locations, scheduling and to get to know each other better. I’ll offer anything to personalise my service to fully suit your day. I do not mind 1, 2 or 3 consultations prior your wedding including as many calls and emails as you like.

The Bride's Home – A “fly on the wall” approach capturing atmosphere, emotions and final touches during the preparation stage. This is an opportunity for beautiful portraiture (formal / informal) of the bride, bridesmaids and family. Some people like to miss this out and that is fine by me. I can easily start at the ceremony.

The Ceremony - Arrival of the bridal party, the ceremony proceedings, congratulations, admirations and the ambience of it all. Quick and relaxed family formals, and a chance for a big group shot. We can also do the big group shot after the wedding party / locations shots.

Wedding Party / location Shots - Beautiful, artistic and romantic shots of the bride and groom. Fun & creative shots of the wedding party. 

The Reception - Pre-dinner mingling, table setting details, atmosphere, speeches, cutting of the cake and the first few dances.

You can make unlimited reprints and enlargements of any size to share with your family and friends with the high resolution digital images. You can easily create slideshows on your computer and share your favourites on social media.

A non-refundable $350 deposit (part-payment) to confirm your day is required. Full balance to be made 2 weeks prior to the wedding day. Weekly / monthly payment options are available. 

Prices are customised depending on the timings, locations, size of the wedding. 

Below is a rough guide of what I charge. So please do enquire for an individual quote for what you have in mind for your photography.

From the Bride's house to the first few dances (approx. 8-9 hours) = $4500

From the Bride's house to the end of the speeches (approx. 7-8 hours) = $3900

Extra Info - I can normally shoot over 3000 images for a wedding. Many are similar / repeats to guarantee I get the spot on shot of each scenario. Back at the computer I spend two full days very carefully selecting the 3-500+ of the most excellent shots. From there, with great attention to detail, I spend at least two more days enhancing and refining the images. Any unwanted blemishes can easily be lessened or removed. Basically, I will make you look unnoticeably and realistically top-notch and ultimately, my thorough, professional process will result in awesome images! I promise not to miss out any great pictures that you should have. Please call or email me for any more info or to have a catch up under no obligation.

Your wedding day is a very special day that you will want to remember and cherish for the rest of your life. With this in mind, I always work with maximum passion and professionalism to capture the emotion, the details, and the love in photos that will make your memories last forever. I can guarantee you custom-made work of the highest quality. I would love to hear from you; please feel free to contact me for more information.
