The Process

Frequently asked questions

1How far should we book you in advance?
Most of our clients book us more than a year in advance. The sooner you reach out, the better the chances are that your date is still available in our calendar. We require a 50% non-refundable deposit.
2How long do we have to wait to get our full gallery of images?
Photo galleries can expect delivery within the same month of your wedding, with teasers in the same week. Films can take a bit more processing time and can be a minimum of 2-3 months turnaround time - however, these can be processed sooner with Rush Edit & NEXT DAY EDIT Options
3How do we receive our photos/films?
You will receive an online gallery that you can share with friends and family. You can easily download your full gallery & films. Access to the galleries is valid up to 3 months. We do offer custom print, photo albums and bespoke USB packages
4Do you offer any discounts?
Unfortunately, we do not offer discounts on the package prices as every wedding is unique, our packages are tailored to suit the need of our couples, therefore discounting occurs during multi-day events or in the form of reducing the final deliverables needed
