FAQ * WHAT MERGE DOES

Planning a Perth, Fremantle, or South West wedding comes with a hundred little decisions, so here are some of the most common questions couples ask me.

And if your question isn’t listed, just reach out — I’m always happy to chat.

Once I receive your initial enquiry I’ll check my availability & if I’m free, I’ll pop you thru the link and password for my current prices. After which we’ll chat more specifically about your day. This is your chance to ask me absolutely anything.
Oh, and I’m a pretty prompt replier, so make sure to check your spam/junk folder if you haven’t heard back from me after 72 hours.

To secure your date, it’s a simple process: a $950 booking fee (which comes off your total), plus a signed contract and quick questionnaire. After that, I’m officially yours for the day. The final balance isn’t due until 30 days before your wedding — giving you plenty of breathing space.

From timelines to trusted suppliers, I’m here to make the process feel calm and supported. Every couple receives my ‘Wedding Field Guide’ (a resource filled with insights from 17+ years behind the lens), so you’ll feel confident and cared for from the very start.

My style is true-to-life, bold, and full of feeling.
I’m drawn to colour, energy, and emotion. The kind of moments that move.
Most of the day, I photograph things as they naturally unfold: the nervous laughter, the wild hugs, the quiet in-between.
When it comes to portraits, I’ll step in with gentle direction to help you relax and focus on each other.
The result is photos that look like you — natural, alive, and full of joy.
If you love design, colour, and storytelling that feels real (not filtered or forced), we’ll be a great match.

GOT SOME QUESTIONS?

I’m based in the South West (where I grew up), but I frequently travel to Perth and Fremantle. Travel for the South West region is included in all my packages, Weddings in Perth of 7hr+ will incur a travel fee of $250.

Yes, it’s always me. II shoot solo and am completely comfortable handling every aspect of the day.

I love meeting my couples on Zoom before (or after) you book — it’s a chance for us to get to know each other, chat through your plans, and make sure everything feels aligned.

No stress. Most couples fine-tune this as the day gets closer.
My maximum coverage is 10 hours, but you can adjust your package after booking once your timeline feels clearer.

You’d be surprised how often I hear that!
Most of the day, I work documentary-style, capturing moments as they naturally unfold.

During portraits, I’ll give you gentle guidance to help you feel comfortable and connected (not posed).
My goal is to capture chemistry, not choreography.

On average, digital galleries are delivered within 8 weeks.
I don’t rush this process — every image is edited with care to reflect the real colour, light, and emotion of your day.
You’ll receive both high-resolution and web-sized images, ready to print or share online.
Albums, prints, and frames are available through your personal online gallery store if you’d love something tangible to hold.

A million times yes.
LGBTQIA+ couples are wholeheartedly welcome here. No matter how you identify or define your relationship.
Love is love, and I’m 100% here for it.

I don’t, as editing is an essential part of my creative process.
It’s where your photos come to life, where I shape the tone, colour, and emotion to match how your day truly felt.
You’ll receive professionally edited, high-resolution JPGs that you can print and share as much as you like.
