Photography and film are creative work. We cover your event in the style shown in our portfolio, using our professional judgement about angles, lighting and editing.
- We aim to capture every important moment, but we can't guarantee specific shots that depend on things outside our control: lighting, weather, timing changes, crowding, or venue restrictions. Share a list of must-have family photos before the day and we'll prioritise it.
- Coverage is for the functions, days and hours in your booking. Extra functions or days can be added at our current add-on prices.
