Frequently Asked Questions
Getting married in Perth
How soon can we get married?
Soon! Just be mindful that your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) must be completed with the celebrant at least one month prior to the ceremony day. For a list of rad weddding celebrants, check out my recommendations here.
Should we just get married at a registry office?
You could. But you could also create a personalised service somewhere else for just a little extra. Ask me about some of my favourite Perth celebrants and ceremony locations!
Are there any restrictions on ceremony locations? Do we need a permit?
Not necessarily. You only need to apply for a permit if you want exclusive access to a public space or private property. There are so many awesome secret places ideal for small intimate weddings!
Booking me as your wedding photographer
What's the booking process?
Once you’re happy to go ahead, I ask for a small non-refundable booking fee to secure the date. The remaining balance will be split into two payments payable before the ceremony. Get in touch to arrange a call!
How long should we book you for?
Only for the amount of time you need. I'm passionate about offering couples flexible coverage so you can choose how long you need a photographer for. I’ll help you create a timeline for a fun and efficient day. Book in for a chat.
What if we change the date?
When I reserve a date for you, I don't accept other enquiries for that date. Therefore, the non-refundable retainer will not be transferable to a new date and a new retainer will be applied. If you're unsure about the date let me know when you enquire and we'll work something out!
Do we need to know how many hours we’ll need before booking?
I'm happy to take a booking and work out the duration later.
Can we do it any day or time?
Yes! Within reason, of course. If you want a ceremony at 3am, I might charge you extra for it! As far as photography is concerned, I may suggest different times for better photos but hey it's YOUR day so we'll make any time work!
Do we need to have a rehearsal?
It depends on the ceremony location and whether you have Friends of Honour joining you. We can suss this out when we chat.
Do you do weddings in the South West?
I’m based in Perth but happy to travel down south occasionally. It’s an extra charge for locations further than one hour from the CBD and accommodation costs may also apply. Alternatively I can connect you with photographers local to your location.
Are you LGBTQIA+ friendly? Do you do same-sex or non-binary weddings?
Of course I do! All inclusive here. Love is love.
Are you ok with us bringing our dog to our wedding?
I absolutely LOVE dogs (or other suitable pets!) at weddings!
Do we have to wear a white dress? A suit?
Wear whatever you like. I love couples breaking the rules!
Can you arrange other things for the day?
Yes! At an extra cost, I can arrange food, cake, flowers etc. Just ask.
Can you arrange a videographer?
Whilst I don't offer the service personally, I know some great Perth videographers who have a similar, documentary style of videography for every budget. Having a photographer and videographer who have a similar working style makes the experience run smoothly for couples, as we work like a team. Be wary of old-school style videographers who have elaborate setups and force unnatural poses and situations which makes it harder for me to capture the natural flow of the day. Hit me up for my recommendations!
Can you arrange livestreaming?
Whilst I don't offer the service personally, I know some great Perth livestreaming videographers who do an amazing and professional job. Hit me up for their details!
What is a non-traditional wedding?
What is a non-traditional wedding?
When you throw the typical wedding template out and ask what holds true meaning for you as a couple. Question everything and only keep what you care about.
Do you photograph big weddings?
YES! Whilst I might have a special soft spot for small and intimate weddings, I also love a massive love fest! Especially when it's a non-traditional, love fest full of all your favourite things.
What do you get?
How soon do we get our photos?
I try to get some sneak peeks to you within a few days so you can share your wedding with family and friends. The rest of the gallery will be available within eight weeks.
How do I see my images?
I use an online gallery system called Pic-Time where you have the option to download the images in high resolution (for printing) or smaller web-sized files. You will both be provided with your own login where you set your own password. The gallery allows you to invite family and friends to view the gallery and download images. Your images will also be connected to an online store of Australian printers and album makers for super easy ordering.
How many photos do we get?
I don't promise a minimum or maximum amount of images as this is completely dependent on your day and how much is happening. I try to document as much as possible and will deliver all the best images, sometimes a few variations of the same moment, and I like to include funny bloopers and images that tell a story (so you remember all the little things).
Have I answered your questions?
