FAQs

I’m ready to book my Photo or film session. What’s next?

Just fill out my contact form and I’ll be in touch. If you have any questions or you’d prefer to speak in person you are welcome to call me.

What are your packages?

Head on over to my packages page to see what I have on offer.

When do we meet you? Can we meet before we book?

Yes! I am a big believer in getting a good feel for people, especially when working together on such a special and personal project!

So I am always happy to either meet in person or have a chat via phone or FaceTime before you even pay a deposit.

Once we have decided we are the right fit for each other we will meet in person before your session if it’s possible.

Do we have to share our video online?

No way! This is YOUR moment captured for YOU.

Though if you are comfortable with me sharing your video online, this would enable others to sample the quality and style of my work.

This is something we will discuss when we go through our contract, and if you are happy for me to share your film publicly I will always double check with you before I upload it, even if you initially agree, I 100% respect your decision to change your mind.

What experience do you have?

I started my career in film by attending James Cook University where I majored in Photography. After graduating I recognised a gap in the market for wedding films and began to offer film rather than photography in Townsville. My business has grown slowly, but in the last 6 years I have filmed over 30 weddings solo, and assisted videographer for another 5.

During this time I also worked at Bluekino, a commercial video production company, which helped me to refine my storytelling and editing style.

Since having my second child Iluka (we filmed her birth), I have developed a huge love for Birth films and thus far filmed two births, as well as becoming more involved in birth/mother support circles and services.

Do you have payment plans/after pay?

Yes! Each booking requires a 20% deposit and the remainder can be payed in increments that suit you, as long as 80% is payed by the date my services are required. I have online payment through stripe and after pay, I also accept cash or direct bank transfer. Completed work will be delivered once the payments are finalised.

Do you film everything?

The short answer to that is yes. My style of work is very much documentary based which I then edit into a beautiful and cohesive short film.

To make sure your story is unique to you I do not work to a script because life is not scripted. Because of this I film everything that I see that I think is an important part of your story.

In saying that I am always happy to talk about creative ideas or a vision that you would like to bring to life in our session.

If there are certain shots or angles that you feel uncomfortable about we can discuss this before and after we film and edit, to make sure you are happy to have them included in your final film/photos.

When should I book in with you?

I would recommend getting in touch at least 6 months before your special day as I can only take a limited number of bookings each month.

How far do you travel for sessions?

I am flexible with travel but do charge a travel fee for anything more that 1 hr drive away (unless booking a full day event)

What do you shoot with?

I use a Sony A7iii to film and photograph. My favourite lens is a 50mm. Because of this I move around a lot in the space and will sometimes come in close to you. Most people say they hardly even notice I am around though. I don’t really like to use flash or artificial light but I do have this equipment available to me. The Sony is very well equipped for low light shooting.

For weddings I use a second camera during the ceremony and professional wireless sound recording gear.

I also have a drone and often employ my son to operate the drone for local jobs.

What will I receive from you?

For full details of package inclusions please see my packages page.

Do you film anything besides Birth?

Yes! I also film Weddings, Family stories and I love working with small businesses.

While Birth is my main focus, if you’re into any of these things I’d love to hear from you. You can check out my wedding gallery and other work here.
