FAQs

 

Thanks for taking a peek at some of my work.

Here are a few, frequently asked questions. If there's more you'd like to know, please ask.

 

Q. What sets you apart from other photographers?

I am frequently told that I am easy-going, and not in your face, yay! I am professional and open to new ideas.

 

Q. What do you offer?

I offer photographic and album collections. All my collections include high resolution digital negatives and unlimited images taken. I love designing an album for a couple, but if your super-crafty, you will have the DVD, so you can design one yourself :) I have a range of custom hand-made albums, parent albums, coffee table books, fine art albums, canvas & fine art prints, guest books, photo presentation boxes & thank you cards.  I also offer Gift Certificates and these are available for Weddings, Portraits & pretty much everything I have to offer.I photograph people celebrating life's most memorable moments and these include Birthday Milestones, End of School Celebration portraits, Just Graduated Portraits, Engagements,Weddings, Mum & Dad's to Be, Newborns and of course Families & Pets (Yes you are welcome to bring your Pet along to be part of your Family Portrait).

Q. Do you photograph same sex Ceremonies?

Yes! Love is not discrimatory and comes in all forms. I welcome inquiries from ALL couples.

 Q. How long until the images are ready?

I aim for five weeks for a Wedding Collection and three weeks for Portrait Collections. Every image is given a little TLC to look its absolute best. Album collections take abit longer. Once the album design has been approved by yourself, it is then sent to the album manufacturer, where it is printed & bound. This can take up to 8 weeks. Your finished album will be worth the wait, I promise.

Q. How many images do you take?

Remember, its quality over quantity!! I keep shooting until you and I are happy that we have everything covered. Saying this, I could say that on  average I would supply you with between 700 and 1000 images of your Wedding and around 150 or so of your Portrait Collection.

Q. Do we get to meet before the Wedding?

For sure! All collections include a chat session with me. This gives us a chance to discuss your style preferences, itinery and other details.

Q. Will you be our photographer on the day?

Absolutely, yes.

Q. How many Weddings have you photographed?

To date, I have photographed over 700. Each one of them has been uniquley different and each with its own story.

Q. What are your Wedding Collections valued at?

I have collections ranging from $1150.00 for the "Short 'n' Sweet"  and the full coverage "Happily Ever After" collection is valued at $1600.00. Signature Album Collections are valued at $3250.00.

Fine Art Albums & Coffee table books start at $540.00 and offer fantastic value for money.

Q. Do you photograph at Receptions?

Yes, I do. In your Collections I stay so that I can get some room shots and cake shots prior to your Guests being seated. If you want extra coverage,  it's $125.00 per hour.

Q. What are your Portrait Collections valued at?

Portrait Collections start at $250.00. This includes the photo shoot and high resolution DVD of all images taken.

Q. Do you belong to any professional photography associations?

I am a member of the PPAQ (professional photographers of QLD). Each member is bound by a strict code of guidelines, code of ethics & quality professional work.  I am also a member of the ABIA (Australian Bridal Industry Academy). Members services are rated by the Bride & Groom and the ABIA was created to protect the Bridal couple. I have been a finalist every year since 2005 and I won in 2006. In 2010 I was a top 10 finalist (I came 4th) in the ABIA Designer of Dreams awards, cool hey!

Q. Do you travel?

Sure do, and love too. I have photographed Weddings on North Straddie, South Straddie, Hamilton Island, Kingscliff, Byron Bay, Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Hinterlands, Sydney and Melbourne.

Q. Where is your studio located?

I live and work at my home studio in Victoria Point, on Brisbane's bayside. Travel time is about 45 minutes from Brissy and about the same from the Gold Coast.

Q. We really love your work, so how do we go about booking your services?

Awesome, glad you like what you see! To secure your Wedding date with me, please contact me by email or phone. I will then get your details and email a confirmation letter to you. Of course, you are welcome to visit me at my home studio too.  A non-refundable deposit of $400.00 is required to secure your Wedding date and the portrait session is payable on the day of the shoot.

Look forward to meeting with you soon :) Anne.
