WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY:

I am very selective about my wedding clients because I feel that we have to be the right fit for each other, as our personal connection has a big impact on the results of your wedding photographs. My style of wedding photography is often described as “unobtrusive, elegant, cinematic, energetic and detailed”, as I aim for a timeless approach, but with unique style.

It’s worth mentioning that I do have a taste for weddings that go off the beaten path, so all “alternative” couples are encouraged!

AS OF 2019: PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NO LONGER BOOKING ANY WEDDINGS! (ALL WEDDING INQUIRIES WILL BE REFERRED.)

GENERAL:

Do you edit/retouch all your images?
I studied retouching under some of the industry’s finest and no image is delivered without having been double checked for sharpness, colour correction and exposure, as well as skin retouching where needed. I pride myself on professional, detailed retouching (skin and otherwise) as well as an almost cinematic feel to my overall colour grading.

Can I have the RAW/unedited images?
Unfortunately, I do not give any unprocessed images to clients. I pride myself on my retouching and it’s an absolutely crucial part of my brand. I do, however, make sure that clients are presented with professionally processed images that are of international standard that represents both myself and the client in the best way possible.
Please note that all RAW files are archived for a total of six months and thereafter deleted.

What is your turnaround time for images?

It depends on my workload, but I have never had a client wait for longer than four weeks. However, I ask that clients please be patient and give me between two to six weeks for final delivery and wedding clients, four to eight weeks please.

How do I make a booking?
