Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you based?
I'm based in Sydney, but I love to travel and will happily jet off anywhere! I regularly travel to photograph weddings in the Southern Highlands, the Hunter Valley, Blue Mountains and South Coast. I’ve driven and flown all around Australia for weddings, including as far as Darwin, Townsville and Busselton and my Italian passport is always ready to be put to good use!
Travel to the Southern Highlands is at no additional cost.
What is your photography style?
My style is classic, luminous and romantic.
Having completed a Bachelor of Fine Art, my technical training lends an artistic sophistication and editorial elegance to my images.
What is your approach on the day?
My approach is natural and non-obtrusive. I document moments as they unfold around me, capturing the genuine emotion of the scene, and all the poignant and fleeting moments of the wedding day. When necessary, I'll also offer gentle guidance, such as direct you towards the best light or to put you at ease during portraits.
How much time should we allocate to photography?
Suggested wedding day timing is as follows:
Groom preparations 45 mins
Bride preparations 1.5 hours
Pre-ceremony 15–20 mins
Ceremony 30 mins (civil) or 1 hour (church)
Congratulations and family photos 30 mins
Portraits 1.5 hours
Pre-reception 30 mins
Reception 2+ hours (I usually capture a few hours of formal proceedings including speeches, cake cutting and first dance (2+ hours) then stay for 30 mins of dancing, unless you have coverage until the end of the night in which case I’ll capture you and your loved ones dancing the night away right up until your grand exit!)
As a guide, plan to commence your ceremony 3 hours prior to your reception start time (excluding travel).
Can we add a second photographer?
I frequently work solo to photograph weddings, (and I am very comfortable doing so), however I do have a number of talented second photographers to call on if you are considering including an additional photographer as part of your package. This is a great option if you have a tight schedule, a significant distance to travel on the day or simply want even more lovely candid moments, additional angles and guest shots!
I would recommend adding a second photographer to any wedding with over 100-120 guests.
How many photos will we receive?
Depending on your chosen wedding coverage, you will receive approximately 600-1000 individually edited photos.
For intimate weddings and elopements you will receive approximately 200-500 photos and for engagement shoots approximately 100 photos.
What is your usual turnaround time?
Within a week of your wedding you'll receive a small online gallery of sneak peek photos to give you a taste of what's to come!
Approximately 8-10 weeks later, you'll receive your full collection of high-resolution images from the day in a beautifully packaged USB and box and a personalised online gallery to share with family and friends.
What kind of backup do you have?
For security, I always maintain a minimum of two copies of your wedding photos at all times. I carry two cameras on me throughout the wedding day and I have a back up memory card constantly recording in both cameras. At the end of the day the files are copied onto two external hard drives where they are stored whilst in post-production. Upon completion of the edit, images are moved to long term storage across three separate devices.
What are your prices?
Weddings start at $3500 and can be customised to suit every couple. Mid-week elopements and intimate weddings start at $1800.

can we purchase an album?
Yes, I offer premium custom wedding albums to display the memories of your wedding day. Hand crafted by industry leading artisans, the wedding albums are printed with archival ink on fine art museum quality paper. Each album is designed to lay flat, with seamless panoramic spreads. Bound in luxurious leather and finished with bespoke monogramming, an album is the final piece of your wedding day story.
Every wedding photography package includes an online gallery with a personalised print store where you can easily view album, print and frame options to preserve your images.
How do we book you?
To reserve your date I require a signed contract and a $1000 non-refundable booking fee.
