Yes, if I need to sleep for safety, I charge a travel fee to cover accomodation costs etc.
How much experience do you have?
Weddings: 100+ as a lead photographer
Are you an insured business, and do you guarantee your work?
Yes, I have both equipment and 20 mil liability including indemnity insurance. I guarantee that all your files will be stored in a fire-rated safe and saved on multiple hard drives for at least 7 years, potentially forever. I also use cameras that have dual memory card slots for immediate redundancy.
What is your personality like?
I am a Beta male who embodies an easygoing and energetic spirit. I thrive on meeting new people and striking up conversations. My spontaneous and creative nature makes me well-equipped to find solutions when things don’t go as planned.
As a photographer, I believe that the key to capturing beautiful moments is building a connection with my clients. I take the time to get to know you and find ways to bring out your natural smile, so you feel comfortable and can enjoy the genuine moments of your special day. I utilize natural landscapes and shoot from various locations to create a diverse range of photos.
While I tend to be discreet, I can be assertive when needed, especially when capturing formal photos. But when the party starts, you can count on me to get down on the dancefloor and capture all the fun moments.
Overall, I strive to provide a relaxed and enjoyable experience for my clients while delivering stunning, high-quality photos that you’ll treasure forever.
How do you normally charge for your service?
I charge an $800 Deposit, and the remainder is due 14 days before the Main Shoot Date. Payable via Osko, Bank Transfer, PayPal, Stripe or cash. Please note the 2.5% surcharge on card payments.
Can you shoot with film?
Absolutely, if you want me to shoot film, there is an extra cost that applies to sourcing and development of the film. You can choose from 120 or 35mm black & white or colour negative film stocks.
If you haven't shot a wedding at our venue, how will you know where the good spots are?
As a photographer, I am constantly on the lookout for the ideal locations to create stunning compositions. If I haven’t been to a location before, I always make it a point to scout the area beforehand, whenever possible. However, many factors can affect what makes a “good spot,” such as the weather, available lighting, or even a sudden influx of tourists. Therefore, it’s essential to remain flexible and adaptable, ready to improvise at a moment’s notice.
At Precisepix, we understand that finding the perfect location can make all the difference in capturing those breathtaking shots. We take the time to research and plan out our shoots, ensuring that we have the best possible backdrop for our clients’ photos. And if unforeseen circumstances arise, we are always prepared to think on our feet and adjust accordingly. Our goal is to create stunning compositions that our clients will cherish for a lifetime, and we won’t let anything stand in the way of achieving that.
How many photos will I get after the wedding?
I aim to deliver around 1000 photos for a standard wedding day of getting ready, ceremony and reception.
How long will I have to wait to get my photos?
We know how excited you are to see the beautiful photos from your special day! That’s why we promise to deliver all your photos fully edited and ready for you to cherish, by the very next day after your wedding. But that’s not all! We also create a stunning slideshow and blog post that is perfect for sharing with your loved ones and friends. Our slideshows are carefully crafted to showcase the best moments of your wedding, set to music that truly captures the essence of your day. And our blog posts are filled with gorgeous images and heartfelt stories that you can share on social media or with loved ones who couldn’t be there on your special day. With Precisepix, you’ll not only have beautiful photos, but also a wonderful way to share your memories with those you love.
Can I print my photos?
Go for it; they are all yours. You can print as many as you like without consulting me first. I strongly recommend using a high-quality print shop like Queensberry. Budget photo printing at K-Mart and Big W will deteriorate, the colour balance is usually incorrect, and the overall image quality is poor. At the end of the day, you pay for what you get.
I am not photogenic, and I am nervous about having my picture taken?
Choosing the right photographer is crucial for ensuring that your wedding day memories are captured beautifully. It’s important to talk to your photographer and get to know them, as it’s essential that you feel comfortable around them.
At Precisepix, we strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere during our shoots, where our clients feel at ease and can be themselves. We understand that the best shots come when our clients are relaxed and having fun. So we start by getting you moving, holding hands, walking, and dancing to loosen up those nerves. As we progress, we introduce softer, gentler motions, allowing you both to have a moment to yourselves to showcase your love for each other.
It’s all about creating a relaxed and effortless experience that allows us to capture authentic, emotional moments that you’ll cherish forever. When you’re enjoying the shoot, it shows in the photos, and that’s when we know we’ve got the shot. So connect with us, talk to us, and see if we’re the right fit for you. When we click, the results are magical.
Can you make us an album?
I sure can, the best quality albums in the business!
Do you use an assistant?
Generally no, however, if you book a second photographer or videographer with your package then yes they will assist me.
How much coverage do we need?
Usually 9 hours, I can put together the story of you both getting ready, right up to Uncle Bob doing the worm on the dance floor. After that, things get rather messy.
What time of year is best to get married?
Autumn! It is not too hot or cold. There is a balance of RGB (red, green, blue) in the landscape, making for the best photos. Also, the light is not as harsh as in the middle of summer, making for more flattering portrait photos. Spring is almost equally as good thanks to the florals!
Winter is also a great time, yes it is cold, and the trees are brown and gloomy. But the light is soft and makes very flattering portraits. Sunset is also around 5:30 pm, so the “Golden Hour” for portraits will fit in the best before a reception. Plus the venue is cheaper!!!
My style of photography is about connecting with you personally. I will get to know you and find a way to bring out your natural smile. You will feel totally comfortable, and you will enjoy the sincere moments. I take advantage of natural landscapes and always shoot from multiple locations. I am mainly discrete but assertive when required for formal photos.
