Making sure you get along with your photographer is super important, make sure you've had a chance to meet them in person or virtually (via zoom or facetime) before booking. Also, make sure their approach matches what you are expecting for your wedding day. If you want lots of unposed, candid photos, book a documentary wedding photographer. If you want lots of posed photos that look like a magazine spread, go editorial.

Documentary wedding photography means a photographer is capturing moments throughout the day, without interrupting, posing, or guiding people. This allows for more joyful, intimate, and unexpected creative photography. Traditional wedding photography relies on a photographer guiding each moment and often interrupting a scene to get a staged photograph, rather than letting it unfold naturally.

Honestly, most people do (including most photographers). Hiring a photographer you trust allows you to forget about being photographed because they'll feel like a natural part of your day. Most of the time you won't even realise they're there - but you'll end up with tons of gorgoues photos of you enjoying your wedding after they're done.

Generally a documentary photographer like me will be as unobtrusive as possible throughout the day, letting it all unfold without direction allows for more creative and authentic photography. That being said, for parts like group photos, or a confetti line, I will happily lend a hand to make sure things go smoothly. And your photographer will be with you for your whole day, so keep that in mind when you're deciding who to go with.

Good photographs can be subjective. But a good wedding photographer (and the experience they give you) shouldn't be. The best ones can make you and your guests feel at ease, will communicate with you throughout the lead-up to the wedding day, and will shoot your day with a keen artistic eye. It really comes down to whether or not you trust them to make your day better.

Yes! I am a part of our wonderful LGBTQ+ community myself and I have had the great fortune of photographing multiple LGTBQ+ weddings. I'm happy working with couples of all genders and sexualities.

I do photograph queer, non-binary, and trans couples! I have photographed many gorgeous couples of different identities and sexualities, and it's a privilege and joy every time. Have a look at my gallery to see some of my queer and gender-diverse couples.

I usually tend to use gender-neutral pronouns unless requested otherwise, no assumptions, just respect. For my couple's I'll always check in on pronouns straight off the bat.

I'm lucky as hell to have photographed a bunch of gorgeous gay, lesbian and gender-diverse couples.

Turns out gender-based poses are boring anyway! If you do want a few posed couple's shots, I pose based on vibes and energy, not what's in your pants. It's all about y'all's interactions.

Absolutely! I will always check in on your pronouns when we have our intial chat, but if you want to send them ahead of that you're more than welcome! I know how gender-affirming pronouns are and do everything I can to respect them.

I have lots of experience photographing people of colour and have plenty of examples throughout my gallery of these gorgeous weddings. If you ever have specific concerns around skin tone, feel free to ask! That said, I'm very comfortable photographing a wide range of skin tones and making sure everyone looks beautiful and natural.

I've had multiple couples compliment me after their wedding that my photography complimented the many skin tones in their wedding perfectly, my true to life, film-inspired editing style is great for representing different skin tones in all lighting.

Sure thing! I love sharing my couple's galleries and they're happy for me to share. I am fortunate to have photographed diverse couples in a bunch of different types of weddings, so if you'd like to see any full galleries, let me know.

Throughout the day, I make sure I'm photographing moments creatively and respectfully, using humour only to make a photo more enjoyable, not to mock. I don't airbrush in editing, or change people's appearances or skintones. I want everybody I photograph to see how joyous and beautiful the wedding really was and, by doing that authentically, you get photos that represent your day and your loved ones accurately.

I have experience photographing many culture's wedding traditions, such as handfastings, nikkahs, greek money dances, jewish dancing, and also english traditional church weddings.

I am a diability-aware photographer. And I understand that every person's experience of disability is different. I'll work with you to understand what helps you feel comfortable and safe.

I can absolutely adapt to access needs and chronic illness, pain or fatigue. My style means photographing you as you are. So there are no hours-long photo sessions or contortionist posing. If you need breaks, need time away from the camera and guests, or just need to sit for a while when getting your group photos done, I will be your biggest supporter in that.

First of all, don't worry, that happens sometimes. But also, I've been meditating for years, and am happy to walk you through some scientifically-based breathing techniques to help you deal with feelings of overwhelm. If you're tired, we can take breaks. And I'm happy to lead you away from your guests under the pretext of taking more photos to let you get out for a breather.

I don't. I'm there to guide couple photos when a moment calls for it by putting you in good light, but generally it's more important to make you feel comfortable by letting you relax and enjoy your day. So we'll either have a few easy posed photos or we can forgo them entirely. It's up to you.

I can! I photograph with natural light more often than not, and only use flash when it's absolutely necessary. If needed, I can also forgo flash entirely. And in terms of loud direction, I rarely use a big 'outdoor' voice and only really raise it to organise group photos. If we're somewhere that needs to keep the volume down (like a library), I can find ways to gather your groups without the noise.

I do photograph non-religious and non-christian weddings! I have photographed pagan ceremonies, handfastings, nikkahs, and more.

I am familiar with many alternative ceremonies, like handfastings, ring warmings, humanist weddings and celebrant led ceremonies amongst others. If you're doing something different, I'm excited to be a part of it.

I'll do my own research in the lead-up to the ceremony, so I have an idea of what it will be like. But I'll also ask you what to expect from your ceremony since each one has its own unnique elements.

Always. I want to photograph the things that make YOUR day important, which means asking, listening, and treating your decisions with care, respect and excitement. That said, if you're not sure that I'm picking up what you're putting down, feel free to be direct and explicit. I believe in overcommunication rather than under.
