Wedding Photography Investment
Investing in your wedding photography isn't just about the final images - it's investing in an artist who has spent years developing an eye for light, moment, and detail.
It's having someone experienced enough to lean on, before and after your wedding, with a calm and steady presence who knows when to guide you and when to simply step back.
FULL DAY COVERAGE
Typically $5,500–$8,500
For couples who want their whole day told, start to finish - getting ready, the ceremony, portraits, reception, dancing. This is documentary coverage at full length: observational, unobtrusive, with time built in for portraits and the small in-between moments that happen when a wedding has room to breathe.
FOCUSED COVERAGE
Starting at $4,500
This suits shorter timelines, as well as restaurant and dinner party receptions. Some couples choosing this option skip getting ready coverage and photography begins from the ceremony; others prefer to begin with getting ready coverage and wrap up after the early formalities.
Not sure which is right for your day, or want to talk through timings? Get in touch and we can work it out together.

How do I know which coverage is right for us?
It usually comes down to your day, not your budget. If you're planning prep photos, a formal portrait session, and want the full arc of the day documented, Full-Day Coverage will suit you best. If your day is built around a shorter timeline, a restaurant reception, minimal formalities, or you'd simply rather be with your guests than stepping away for photos, Focused Coverage is likely a better fit.
Please in touch and I'm happy to talk through your timeline and suggest what makes sense.
Can we upgrade from Focused to Full-Day Coverage later?
Yes. If your plans change or you decide you'd like more time covered, we can adjust before your wedding day.
Do you offer coverage for elopements or weekday weddings?
Yes and I'm happy to build a proposal around a smaller guest list, an unconventional day, or a non-Saturday date.
More than photography
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion - a day you've spent months planning, bringing together the people you love most, often in one room, at one particular moment in your lives.
A day like that deserves experienced hands behind the camera. I've photographed more than 300 weddings. I know how to anticipate what's coming, work with changing light and unpredictable weather, and navigate the timeline when things don't go to plan - whether I'm with you for a few focused hours or the whole day.
That experience is part of what you're investing in.
What you can expect
Before your wedding: I work with you personally from your first enquiry through to the delivery of your final images - advising on timelines, locations, and light, and supporting you through the whole process.
On the day: Direction and guidance when you need it, and the instinct to step back and stay out of the way when you don't.
A steady, calm, and unobtrusive presence - whatever the day throws at us.
Securing Your Wedding Date
To secure your wedding date, I require a date reservation fee and a signed contract. This fee forms part of your total coverage cost - not an additional charge - with the remaining balance due closer to your wedding date.
