I really want to book you, What should i do?

The first step is to ensure that the date is still open.

Then let me know of your budget and package desired.

With that, I will do a contract for you. Once I have a signed contract and the retainer, then the date is yours.

You are free to arrange a consultation meeting at anytime during this process with me to discuss any details.

Am I limited to the number of photographs you will take?

I take as many photos as the coverage time allows me to. I have been averaging around 1200 images on a typical wedding,

this is because I approach my wedding with a documentary and pjotojournalist style, and I like to capture pleasing expressions.

I then edit these down to between 400 and 800 images depending on your package, these are placed on your DVD.

Images that didn’t make the cut are deleted.
