FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONs

My specialty when it comes to your photography experience is as follows, and you can expect a standard of excellence, communication, and cooperation.

Q. When should engagement photos be taken?

If you are planning to use the photos for your save the date cards or your wedding website, then booking your engagement session 6-9 months prior to your wedding is ideal.

Q. What is the difference between an engagement shoot and proposal photos?

Proposal photos are spontaneous and capture the surprise moment, while engagement photos are generally planned and styled and capture the couple's personality.

Q. What is the best colour to wear for engagement photos?

Choose colours which will either complement the environment around you or completely contrast with it. Consider each other and wear outfits that complement each other, but not match.

Q. How will my photos be delivered?

Your photos will be delivered in .jpg format in two batches: within 48 hours of your session you will receive a handful of sneak peak photos. After 2-4 weeks you will receive your full wedding gallery via Pixieset, an online wedding gallery hosting service with countless incredible features. 

Q. How many photos will I receive?

I will always provide a large selection of the best images from your session. I will generally supply 50-100 photos per hour of coverage, so for a 45 min session that's roughly 40-75 photos, and for a 90 min session that's 75-150 photos.
Your sneak peaks will be approximately 20 images.

Q. Should I get my hair and make up done for my engagement photoshoot?

An engagement photoshoot is the perfect opportunity to make use of your bridal hair and make up trials! Trial how you will wear your hair and your make up on the day and test out how it holds but also how it photographs.
