KIND WORDS
"Emma beautifully captured our intimate wedding ceremony & despite our collective awkwardness in front of the camera, Emma's skillful photography made it seem effortless"
- Meg & Corey
"We were absolutely awestruck when we saw the sneak peaks, which we received just after 24 hours, and have been obsessed with them.
— Shyann & Laurence
But how much coverage do I actually need?
I have found that generally 8 hours of coverage is enough to capture the essential moments of most weddings, from the getting ready component to the dance-floor.
I will always guide you to what I feel is most appropriate for your timeline.
If you are at the very early stages of wedding planning & are not 100% certain on all your plans, please feel free to lock in The Essential Moments, as we can always increase the coverage to Whole Day Coverage if we realise this is required down the track.
whole day coverage
- Ceremony and reception at different locations
- If you want to capture your exit
- There is a large amount of travel time between the getting ready locations and the ceremony location
- You want to go off-site to another location for portraits
- You want to avoid stress at absolutely all costs!
essential coverage
- Ceremony and reception at the same location
- If you want the key moments captured from getting ready to the start of the dance-floor
- Getting ready location is nearby to the ceremony location or on site

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. Are you willing to travel?
I love to travel and always down for an adventure, so let your love take me somewhere new! Travel fees apply to destinations not on my annual travel itinerary.
Q. Do you offer albums?
I certainly do and would love to design an album for you, even if you aren't an existing Emma Hawkins client. Drop me an enquiry or head on over to my wedding albums page for more info.
Q. When would you recommend a second photographer?
I always recommend booking a second photographer for large weddings > 100 guests, or for clients wanting an extra focus on guest reactions & a documentary style. Prices start at $150/hour, enquire for more info on this.
Q. How will my photos be delivered?
Your photos will be delivered in .jpg format in two batches: within 48 hours of your wedding you will receive a handful of sneak peak photos. After 4-6 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 the day. I will generally supply 50-100 photos per hour of coverage, so for an 8 hour wedding that's 400-800 photos!
Your sneak peaks will be anywhere from 20-50 images.
Q. I'm having a small wedding, can I just book you for a couple of hours?
I love an intimate wedding! My minimum booking time is 2 hours, but I would absolutely love to be a part of your day. Head on over to my elopement page for more info on intimate weddings or drop me an enquiry to find out more.
