FAQs
Huge deal ey? Lots'a questions ey? Hopefully most of them are answered here, but fling us an email if you’ve still got any saucy Qs.
Only 400+ photos, ya joking?
You’ll want a lot less flicks than you think, I can guarantee it. Quality over quantity, all day err'day. Flicks that you’ll piss yourself laughing at in 20 years, not 40 shots of the same dried up bouquet. I’d never put restrictions on the final outcome by keeping out a crowd favourite, but I'm gonna steer clear of giving you the 'meh' shots. Who's counting? If there is more, there is more. I got ya back hun.
How many hours do we need to book?
8 hours gets ya the whole shebang, but includes much more of the reception and d-floor snaps, as well as pre-pics at each parties ‘getting ready’ location. I don’t call it the ‘getting ready’ stage though, because honestly, who gives a shit about cufflink photos hahaha. Amirite?
5 hours will get'cha the essentials! Don't have the whole town heading to your rodeo? This is for those who wanna strip it all back. When we meet up, we can iron out what'cha need from Jacko! Click here for what an 5 hour timeline ordinarily looks like. We got dissss 🫡
Do you really have to be there during the ‘getting ready’ stages?
Definitely not the kinda fella that wants to photograph you with half your makeup on. I actually call this stage 'pre-pics'.. because you'll already be 80% ready upon my arrival.. and really, who needs photos of a dress hanging on a wall? When we catch up, I’ll convey the value of my time working from beginning to end.
Take a look here as well, that page really highlights some stellar 'getting ready' snaps.
Speaking of.. with me, it's more about championing everyone under the one roof prior to the ceremony. The bonus is, unless you're getting ready 2gevva, there's a surprise element to both parties pre-pics, as y'all aren't with one another until later!
Haven't sold you? Well.. the five hour package is yours for the taking 😉
So some sneaky stranger doesn't steal our date, what's the deposit?
Whether its photo or video - whatever the package, I'll seal the deal with two thousand big ones. The deposit is deducted from your final balance, obvs.
How much for additional hours, if we need 'em?
Each additional hour comes in at $400, inc. GST.
Can we have the raw photos / footage?
We've all got our own stylistic preference, but chances are I resonated with you for a reason hun. In saying this, I don't provide anything unedited upon request, and if my photos are edited any further.. there will be tears.
Roughly, how long will our film be, and can we pick the song?
The duration of your film is dependant on the amount of coverage you’re after, the track chosen to accompany it, and even how well your D floor goes awfff on the night. Look, I normally always hit the 5 minute mark.
Now - cue the eye roll, but you won't be able to pick the song sorry, as you're paying me to curate a fitting mood, remember? Rest assured sistah, I've never had a complaint! The tracks I choose are absolute bangers, with a good amount of length to them.
I actually put money back into your film by legally licensing tracks from actual producers, to ensure your end product will be hella unique. None of that royalty-free stuff you hear everywhere else.
We're camera shy!
Every enquiry ever starts with this! I get it.. and you wonder why I'm behind the lens? We're in this together 😅
From extroverts to introverts, it all comes down to your natural chemistry, and it's a total laugh with me. The one thing you can't Photoshop is stress, so please.. take a back seat on the day, I've got this.
The final product is about 30 percent you two, and 70 percent guests anyway! I'm stoked to be able to help celebrate y'all as a dazzling duo, but I also get that a wedding day isn’t just about you two.
You best believe I'mma photograph the aunty who's had a few too many Prosecco's, and everyone who holds you up - your fam bam, your MySpace Top 10 friends.. heck, even the pity invites!
Do you charge within a 3 hours drive from Collingwood?
Overseas n' outside of the state of Victoria, absolutely. #sorryboutit.
Otherwise, anywhere in Victoria, just throw us some dinner would ya? Cruise control has my back 😏
Can we get a sneak peek the following day?
2 days tops, promise. I’m just as eager as you are to see results, but there shouldn't be an urgency attached to art, and the culling / editing process is a lot more considered with a Picasso like mwah. Dis shit takes time.
So yeah.. during busier seasons, the sneak peeks take 2 days, but trust, I haven't forgotten bout' y'all. Just promise me you won't resort to posting one of your friends shitty iPhone snaps #sorrynotsorry 💅🏼
Anything else we should be aware of?
-
I'll shoot rain or shine.
-
You'll receive your photos / footage in both web resolution and full resolution (for printing as large as a bloody billboard).
-
A good feed during the reception is appreciated.
-
Depending on how rowdy your guests get, I might just take off my watch.
-
I put a lot of consideration into family photos, and navigating any 'on the day' dynamics that might come with that. I do it with ease, and it's quicker than you think.
-
If your wedstival is around daylight savings, then start everything later on (mid-day ceremonies are awful).
-
The more you plan ahead, the less you’ll be stressin’.
-
Don’t get caught up buying landfill you don’t need. It legit always comes down to the love in the room.
