FAQ’s

  • At the heart of our editing style is a timeless 'less is more' approach, emphasising colour correction with subtle retouching.

Our ultimate goal is for you to cherish your photos not only in the present but for many years and generations to come.

    Additionally, we offer a professional retouching service for those with specific editing requirements.

  • We perceive photography as a collaboration between the artist and the client. It's comparable to an energetic and imaginative dance, where your willingness to be photographed is the sole prerequisite. Our approach is anchored in prioritising your comfort and tranquility, making the experience both enjoyable and fun. This in turn leads to a photoshoot that unfolds organically, producing authentic and exquisite photographs.

  • Selecting the perfect photographer is a crucial decision in capturing the essence of your special day.

    We highly recommend allocating 1 to 1.5 hours for wedding portraits on your wedding day.

This recommended timeframe also affords the photographer and the couple an opportunity to collaborate, experiment with various poses and ideas, and cultivate a comfortable and stress-free atmosphere. It's worth noting that while 1 to 1.5 hours serves as a valuable guideline, the actual duration may fluctuate based on specific factors such as the size of the wedding party, numbers of locations, the intricacy of the shots and the preferences of the couple.
