Weddings are a big investment, and it’s totally understandable to wonder about the costs, especially when it comes to photography. You might even think: “Why is wedding photography so expensive? Can’t we just ask a friend with an iPhone?”
Totally fair question. And here’s my honest answer:
You could just use a phone… But you DESERVE a wedding photographer
Let’s explore why.
1. Phones Can Snap the Moment. I Capture the Magic.
Everyone has a cameraphone these days. And sure, your mates will take a few good shots, during the ceremony, while you’re laughing over drinks, maybe even on the dancefloor.
But here’s the thing:
You won’t see most of those. You’ll chase them for weeks. And then they won’t tell the full story.
A pro photographer doesn't just take photos — we document memories, carefully, beautifully, and completely.
That moment your partner’s lip trembles when they see you? Caught.
The way your gran beams during the speeches? Immortalised.
The subtle tears, the light hitting your veil just right, your child looking up at you with so much pride? Captured forever.
2. You're Hiring Calm, Creativity and Control
Weddings are unpredictable. Weather changes. Timings slip. Emotions run high.
You need someone who can quietly take control of the chaos and make it look effortless.
That’s what I do.
While your guests are soaking up the day, I’m adjusting for the light, switching lenses, dodging reflections, removing background clutter (goodbye, fire exit signs), and making sure you look and feel your best.
You’ll never hear me shout. But you will hear me gently guide you through portraits, keep things calm, and bring the good vibes when you need them.
I’m the extra bridesmaid with a camera and a plan.
3. You Get the Whole Story — Not Just the Obvious Bits
Your wedding isn’t just the “I do” and the cake cut. It’s the nervous giggles before the ceremony. The tiny flower girl taking a nap under the table. The hug between you and your best mate that says more than words ever could.
These are the moments that make your wedding yours — and they’re the ones that get missed without someone watching for them.
A professional doesn’t just snap what’s happening. We see what matters.
4. It’s Not One Day of Work. It’s 30–50 Hours of Care.
Yes, I’m there on the day. But that’s just one part of it.
I’m with you from the moment you get in touch (sometimes years before the wedding) through every bit of planning and problem-solving, and long after the day itself, if you need a re-download a year later, I got you!
Here’s what else goes on behind the scenes:
Planning support, calls, and emails
Travel and location scouting for perfect locations
Prep (yep, including cleaning every lens!)
Up to 16 hours of work on the day itself
Thousands of images backed up and carefully sorted
Every photo checked, edited, perfected — by hand
Sneak peeks within 24–48 hours, ready for friends, family and social media.
Optional heirloom album designed to last for generations
You get more than photos. You get peace of mind.
5. You Deserve To Be In The Moment — Not Worrying About Capturing It
You shouldn’t have to rely on Uncle Dave not missing the first kiss. Or hope your bestie’s phone has enough battery.
You deserve to look around and know it’s all being taken care of.
That means you can relax. Be present. Feel it all.
And when the confetti’s been thrown, the cake’s been eaten, and the dress is packed away, your photos will bring it all rushing back — real, joyful, vivid, and true to you.
