The supplied albums and photo books are not available online to the general public and are of the highest industry standards and the finest quality available! All main albums open flat for best presentation and images which spread across 2 pages do not have any “gutter” loss due to the binding process.
Disc Only Package
I do offer a “Disc Only Package” but as a wedding photographer I believe that a disc on it’s own just doesn’t do your beautiful wedding day the justice it deserves. It’s your BIG day which you planned so finely – so you deserve to hold it, showcase it and cherish it for years to come. I am sure you can agree with me that nobody gets goosebumps when they pick up a CD case.
My biggest concern is that technology moves so fast – who knows how long a CD or a DVD will still be usable. Do you still have any casette tapes? Do you own any vinyls (records/LP’s)?
If you do own vinyls, then you will understand what I am talking about. When last did you touch, hold and ADMIRE your MP3 collection? But if you own a vinyl, I am sure you just love holding that record sleeve, reading the lyrics and mesmorising over the artwork with pure nostalgia – almost reliving the moment you bought it and thanking yourself you never got rid of it – inspite any dust it may have collected over the years! If you haven’t picked up your vinyls in some time. Stop reading and go do it now … remember … reLIVE!
Nostalgia is a wonderful thing! Allow yourself and family (some members still on the way) to reLIVE your wedding. Don’t let your wedding photos lie on a disc some place where it can be scratched and rendered useless and/or out dated within a few years. Don’t let your most cherished memories fade away!
Don’t forget – all my album packages come with a disc included.
However should you only want the disc only package, please let me know so I can work out something for you.

Photographic Approach
Your wedding will be shot in 2 styles. The first being reportage/photojournalism style. This means rather than having you pose for every picture, we will be “a fly on the wall” capturing all those special moments spontaneously – being as unobtrusive and natural as possible. We also do more classical/traditional photography (with a contemporary twist), which will include groups pictures, posed portraits and details such as bouquets, table shots etc. Usually a combination of both these styles will suit most wedding couples.
If you choose the “2nd photographer add-on” we can capture your wedding from 2 different (visual) points of view and also from 2 different photographic styles, bringing an entirely new dimension to how your day is captured.
Preparing your Photographs and Wedding Album
While you’re away enjoying your honeymoon, I ensure that all pictures are backed up, sorted and retouched if needed, ensuring that the quality of pictures is of the highest standard. This usually takes about 6 – 8 weeks to ensure that I select the finest images and deliver the highest quality. If choosing an album I will send you a proposed layout which you can approve before it goes to print. In most cases very few changes (if any) are requested. The album is part of my overall artistic product – so trust me, I’ve done this before!
The album will have a selection of layouts and number of images per page. All the images are processed with the album design in mind ensuring that every photo on every page of every layout works flawlessly together. The layout of the album can take approximately 2-3 weeks, depending on the number of images and the complexity of the layout. Once the album has been prepared and submitted for print it is usually delivered within 3-4 weeks thereafter as the albums require a very sophisticated manufacturing process due to many elements being hand crafted. Never forget that quality takes time.
You’ll be notified AS SOON AS it is received so that we can make an arrangement to get it to you AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Photography Processing and Styles
We usually process photographs in a variety of styles which include the following;
Black and White
Retro
Full Colour

Trash the Dress Photography
Trash the dress seems to be catching on really quickly amogst wedding photographers and newly wed couples alike. And no, we don’t want you to get down and dirty…well, maybe…only if you want to, but definitely not on your wedding day. “Trash the Dress” usually happens the day after your wedding day (or some time later), but before your beautiful wedding gown goes safely into storage until your daughter one day might want to take it from it’s resting place. Which, lets face it, probably might never happen as the way fashion trends seem to accelerate as the years go by. Will you be wearing your mother’s wedding dress?
So what is Trash the Dress exactly? It’s what ever you want to make of it. We seriously doubt you’ll be wearing this wedding dress again, as beautiful as it may be! This is a great opportunity for YOU to get creative. This is the day where we get to shoot you in your wedding outfits, but as informal (or formal), crazy, weird and wonderful as you wish. You don’t need to worry about keeping the dress clean, where you sit, or “WHAT’s THAT MESS?”! You get to lie down, swim in mud pools, climb a tree or anything else your heart desires – and no guests to impress, just the makings of beautiful, creative images. We’ll still go gentle – as gentle as you want. And when it’s all done, there’s the dry cleaners… and BEAUTIFUL images you’d have regretted NOT being a part of. Trash is the Dress is your chance to be in those pictures you wished were yours!
What are you waiting for? Be part of this new wedding photography genre and be sure to add that extra special touch to your wedding photographs.
