Q & A
Q & A
1 Signature Aesthetic: Beautiful and cinematic. Though I shoot stills, I’m deeply inspired by capturing fleeting moments and people in motion. My favorite photographs are full of life and to approach the day as unique, to look for and capture genuine moments in a way that highlights the emotional atmosphere at a wedding. I love images that are narrative driven, and my fashion and design background gives my images a painterly quality, while still having a clean design eye. My understanding of light and composition and my passion for storytelling allows me to achieve this idea.
2. Point of Difference: I don’t approach weddings with a formula in mind; I look for the in-between moments, like a bride getting ready with her bridesmaids, phoning her to-be husband to tell him she loves him, and the one last kiss before a father sends his daughter to the altar. I see these moments as opportunities to capture a moment the couple will treasure.
3. The Dream Client: My dream clients are passionate about art, and merge elegance and creativity in all aspects of their weddings–without going too far to show it. They understand that simplicity is key. I love couples with creative minds, who trust my eye with no hesitation and are looking for photographs with a timeless style. Lastly, I am always excited by couples that push themselves out of their comfort zones, and can create a real connection between us.
4. Specialties Include:
Capturing genuine moments from an editorial perspective. I consistently make sure the bride feels comfortable, and that she appears as her best version of herself, all while capturing the dynamic and intimate emotions between the couple. I draw from their energy–it is all about them.
5. Do I shoot destination weddings?
I do. I love to travel and so only ask that you cover my travel and hotel costs. Details and planning are vital to any wedding, but even more so when shooting abroad, so a day in hand for me to scout the location and get my bearings is always advised.
6. Weddings/Year: I typically do a lot of fashion and editorial work in addition to weddings, so I try and limit myself to 12 weddings per year.
7. How long do I have to wait for our photos?
Due to the Editorial style of my work, I do not want to rush your images so post-production on images is a maximum of 10 weeks. You will then receive a link to your full gallery of High-Resolution Images { amount varies according to Collection selected }.
8. Will we be able to order a wedding album of our choice of photos?
We include, free of charge, a high-quality 25x28cm photobook with all our packages, using our favourite photos of your wedding day. We offer a wide range of wedding albums to suit all tastes and budgets.
9. Do you provide engagement or pre-wedding shoots?
We advise all couples to have an engagement or pre-wedding shoot. A pre-wedding shoot is included in our Platinum Package, but can be booked separately for R2850 (up to 2 hours’ coverage.
10. We are interested in booking The FotoPro – what happens next?
Please either phone or email to find out more. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have and to discuss your requirements. We would then organise to meet with you both. This gives you a chance to get to know us (and us a chance to know you too before your wedding). We would then discuss your wedding plans in detail to ensure we know exactly your wishes for the day.
