“We’ve had the pleasure of developing a relationship with Tracey over many years. From family portraits while were still dating through to our engagement shoot, and now finally our wedding day. Tracey became truly invested in us; we are friends now more than anything. She truly understands and knows us and we’re completely comfortable with her as our photographer.”
How long will we wait for our wedding photos?
Typically between 3-6 weeks all depending on how busy the season.
what if we look really awkward in photos?
Most people feel this way and it is probably due to the fact that you have not yet been photographed well. An unflattering photo will leave us all feeling awkward and that doesn’t mean it’s not possible to be photographed looking fantastic! Trust us to do our job by getting it right and by helping you feel at ease. Many of our clients say that they can’t believe how great they look after expecting to look really awkward.
do you supply albums?
Absolutely!
There is no better way to enjoy your images than to page through a gorgeously designed album to showcase your favourite highlights.
See some examples on this link to our pricing page.
would you travel to other destinations or venues outside of Auckland?
We love travelling to new destinations both in New Zealand and abroad. Get in touch and tell us more…
How would you describe your style of photography?
We love to keep things authentic and true to your day with a touch of our artistic flare. We shoot sharp and crisp details combined with an open aperture in order to create a soft, romantic depth of field. We are very focused on shooting people to look their best and would never compromise on this. Making use of both natural light as well as off camera flash where required we strive to maintain healthy warm, well exposed skin tones. We like to capture a variety of location scenery as well as up close emotional connections and we do this by guiding you through the shoot as well as capturing the in between moments that you least expect.
As for our editing style. We believe it’s best to keep the look of the images authentic and not to edit in a style that falls within a trend too much. Trends date over time and we would hate for our clients to look back on their wedding photos in the years to come and feel that they do not reflect the day as they remember it. It is important for us to keep up to date with the latest software and editing techniques to keep things edgy and current yet our style is distinct and reflects our artistry.
Do you offer videography?
Videography is on many couple’s wish list, so we are working with friends in the industry to capture the footage and produce your highlight video. VERY EXCITING!!
If you already have a videographer in mind, we’ll shoot alongside them to get the best outcome for you.
How long do you stay at a typical wedding?
Our most popular package covers up to 10 hours OR we can just cover the parts of your day that matter most to you. Let us know if you need a custom package designed to suit.
If you require further coverage we will quote the extra hours at an hourly rate.
would you require dinner to be served to you?
In order to perform our best we would need to fuel up towards the evening and would appreciate a warm meal to re-charge and energize. If not provided, we would need to leave the venue in order to grab something on the go.
How many photos will we receive?
It’s difficult to put an exact figure on this because every wedding is different but we usually deliver anything between 500 - 1000 for a full day’s coverage.
please explain our rights to the digital files?
You have the right to print and share your images whenever you want, wherever you want. However, you may not sell your images for profit, use them for any commercial purpose or publish your images without our written consent. If any of your wedding vendors are requesting images to use for their advertising, please simply send them our way and we will liaise with them direct. We will be happy to help them out.
Further, we insist that our images not be edited or altered in any way. This includes having any filters or presets added to them. This overrides our artistry and defeats the whole purpose of hiring a professional photographer in the first place. We are happy to clarify any copyright questions you may have when we meet.
what if it rains?
This is certainly a worry for most couples and although there is never any guaranty of ideal weather, be assured that we are experienced in dealing with rainy days. Plan B’s can be put in place for shooting in sheltered areas.
Beautiful rainy portraits with umbrellas can be very effective and a lot of fun. Sometimes one just needs to brave the weather and enjoy the day fully, regardless of what the weather holds.
Trust us to make the most of it and still make it work.
We’ve heard horror stories about corrupt files / hard drives, how do you deal with this?
The files are backed up immediately. Our cameras use dual card slots so the files are written across both, in case one corrupts. After the wedding, we back up to two hard drives and on a cloud-based server. You’re well covered!!
“Above and beyond our expectations, Tracey never turned off. She was always looking for opportunities to take a beautiful picture and some of the most beautiful shots weren’t planned, but spotted on the fly and captured, because she was able to quickly direct us and get the photos that she saw was possible but fleeting.”
