Frequently asked Questions

Q: What sort of photographic styles do you use?

A: Anything from relaxed natural to carefully lit and posed artistic portraits.

Q: Candids or posed?

We do a bit of both. Candids are good when everything is happening, for example when you having a fun "moment".

Posing, from a photographers point of view, merely means getting you to look natural. There are times when this is essential, for example bridal party photos that look natural are almost always posed. When we do posed photos we always do it in such a way that you feel relaxed. We keep in mind that you want to have a fun day so we give you some room and time to be yourself . Having a bit extra time up your sleeve ensures you can have a bit of fun, have a drink, a chat and get some great candid as well as nice relaxed posed photos. How much posed and how much candid will depend on what sort of photos you would like, how you want to enjoy your day and the amount of time allowed. This is discussed in detail at your planning session.

Q: Do we have a planning session?
A: Yes. This is very important. It is a great opportunity for you to get to know us better, for us to become more familiar with your details and what you would like for your photos. We will know each other well by the day creating a comfort and relaxing relationship. If you are unable to see us prior to your wedding, particularly if you live outside of Brisbane, we are happy to chat to you over the phone or email.

Q: How much experience have you had?

A: We have photographed countless weddings, portraits, headshots etc since 1988. Experience is the most valuable asset a wedding photographer can have. It is what gives us the confidence to do a great job, no matter what actually transpires on the day.

Q: What sort of equipment do you use?

A: We mainly use professional digital SLR cameras. (if the situation demands, I will use anything I think will acheive the look I am after, whether it be a vintage lens or camera, film, or alternate procedures) Various forms of supplemental lighting equipment is used depending on the situation, though if possible natural light is prefered. (the light is more important in shaping a photo than any particular lens or camera) All equipment has backups and multiple copies of your images are made to ensure data integrity. Our most important tool though is our vision for a photo.
