FAQ
We always have umbrellas handy in case of a rainy day. If you are having your ceremony outside make sure you have a plan B. We will always scout the location for a good spots to take photographs. However if we do need to take photos inside we will bring extra lights with us.
If you ceremony is late in the day(or there’s no daylight savings) and the sun will be setting not long after, we may run out of natural light for your portraits. I’m perfectly happy to use other lighting, but if you’d prefer photos in the daylight, I’d suggest seeing if you can possibly move the ceremony time a little earlier, or consider having a ‘first look’ portrait session before the ceremony. That way you’ll have more time for family photos and not miss your cocktail hour at the reception.
Your photographer should naturally understand you, your sense of humour and how to behave around you to make you feel at home. Effortlessly natural looking photography doesn’t just just happen by accident.
An experienced photographer, like an experienced chef, makes it look easy. The right light, the right spot, the right mood, the right direction, the right exposure, the right moment, the right vision. All these ingredients must align so it looks like you had no idea the photo was being taken, and it just happened. You don’t need to know why the chef’s meal is so delicious, it just is.
A ‘first look’ or ‘pre ceremony’ wedding portrait session is becoming a popular choice for Australian wedding couples.
First made popular in the U.S. because of tight timeline restraints between the ceremony and reception, couples sometimes opt to take their bridal portraits earlier in the day before the ceremony or even on a separate day.
It’s become more common here because a lot of couples want to be able to spend more time mingling with their guests after the ceremony, rather than disappearing for ages to take photos.
For couples who don’t mind breaking with the tradition of not seeing each other before the ceremony, but still want to capture the surprise and happiness of seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day, this is a great option to consider.
It still doesn’t spoil the emotion of the groom seeing his bride walking down the aisle towards him. That moment remains just as powerful, no matter how much time they’ve spent together before the ceremony, because the atmosphere is completely different when all of their friends and family are there witnessing the beginning of the ceremony.
In my experience, often couples are a little bit more relaxed and enjoy the ceremony even more if they’ve already met up beforehand!
