Frequently Asked Questions

For events and corporate sessions, 2-4 weeks notice is usually sufficient, though earlier is always better to secure your preferred date. For large galas, conferences, and multi-day events, I recommend booking as soon as your date is locked in.

Absolutely! While I'm based in Wellington, I regularly cover events and corporate work across the Kapiti Coast, Wairarapa, Hutt Valley, and the wider lower North Island. Travel within the greater Wellington region is included in most packages. For locations further afield, a travel fee may apply.

Wellington weather is famously unpredictable, and I've shot in every condition imaginable. Most events and corporate shoots are indoors or have indoor backups, and I always plan for contingencies so the conditions never get in the way of great coverage.

All photos are delivered via a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images. Event galleries are typically delivered within 24 hours, and corporate galleries within 72 hours, well ahead of the industry standard.

Yes! I offer Afterpay on all bookings, so you can pay in four interest-free instalments. A deposit is required to secure your date, with the balance due before the event.

I understand plans can change. Cancellations made more than 30 days before the event receive a full refund minus the deposit. Within 30 days, the deposit is non-refundable but can be applied to a rescheduled date within 12 months.

I shoot with professional-grade 4K cameras and a range of lenses suited to every situation. For videography, I use cinema-grade equipment and drones for aerial footage. All equipment is backed up with spares on every shoot.

My event photography is charged by the length of coverage: $350 for 1 hour, $630 for 2 hours, $910 for 3 hours, $1,160 for a half day and $1,800 for a full day. All prices include GST, multi-day events get 10% off, and travel within the greater Wellington region is included. Your edited gallery is delivered within 24 hours.

Before the event I go through your run sheet, the must-have shots and any VIPs or sponsors who need extra attention. On the day I arrive early to photograph the venue, set-up and branding, then cover speeches, presentations, awards and guests in a candid style without getting in the way. Afterwards I edit every image and deliver a private online gallery within 24 hours, with a commercial usage licence so you can use the photos in your marketing.

One hour suits a short presentation, a speech or an award handover. Most evening functions, launches and Christmas parties suit 2 or 3 hours, which covers arrivals, the formalities and the start of the party. Galas and awards nights usually need 3 hours or a half day, and conferences need a half day or full day. Send me your run sheet and I'll suggest the right amount of coverage.

Conferences are usually booked as a half day ($1,160) or a full day ($1,800). For a conference that runs over two or more days, the 10% multi-day discount applies to the total. That covers keynote speakers, panels, breakout sessions, exhibition stands and networking breaks, with your edited gallery delivered within 24 hours.

SpotMyPhotos is instant photo sharing technology. Using facial recognition, your event guests can register with a selfie and automatically receive their photos in real-time throughout the event, straight to their phone. It's a huge hit at corporate functions and galas.

Everything from corporate galas and conferences to product launches, charity events, awards ceremonies, and milestone celebrations. I've covered events from 20 to 2,000+ guests.

Your full, edited event gallery is delivered within 24 hours. If you need images on the day for social media or press, I offer a same-day rush add-on, priced with your quote: a curated selection of edited images delivered during or straight after the event.

Yes! I offer backdrop rental, custom branded backdrops, and even green screen AI technology, all priced with your quote. The green screen can place your guests in any virtual background. These are brilliant for branded events and corporate functions.

Absolutely. I can create social media-ready highlight reels that capture the energy and key moments of your event. These are perfect for sharing on your organisation's social channels or for future marketing.

Yes, multi-day events receive a 10% discount on the total photography cost. This applies to conferences, festivals, and any event spanning two or more days.

My corporate photography is $1,700 for a half day (up to 4 hours) and $2,200 for a full day (up to 8 hours), GST inclusive, with travel in the greater Wellington region included. Optional add-ons are drone photography ($150), a 60-second highlight video ($750) and 24-hour rush delivery ($400). The edited gallery is delivered within 72 hours.

It covers the images a business needs to show itself honestly: brand photography of your products, services and spaces, your team at work, team photos for your About page, workplace and job-site photography, and corporate events such as launches, openings and staff functions. Every session includes a pre-shoot consultation, editing and a commercial usage licence.

Yes. A half or full corporate session can include a launch, opening or staff function alongside brand and team photos. For a shorter event on its own, event photography is booked by the hour from $350, with the gallery delivered within 24 hours.

That's exactly how I work! I bring professional lighting to your location, whether that's an office, warehouse, construction site, or out in the field. I follow your team through their day to capture authentic working moments.

Half-day sessions (up to 4 hours, $1,700) are ideal for team photos, a specific project, or a single location. Full-day sessions (up to 8 hours, $2,200) cover multiple locations, departments, or a complete brand photography shoot.

I'll send a preparation guide before the shoot covering the shot list, what to wear and what to expect. Generally, solid colours work best, and I recommend avoiding busy patterns. Have any branded uniforms or signage ready, and I plan the shoot around your working day to keep disruption to a minimum.

Yes, all photos come with a commercial usage licence. You're free to use them on your website, social media, marketing materials, annual reports, and internal communications.

Yes! Drone photography is available as an add-on ($150) and is perfect for capturing office buildings, construction progress, large-scale operations, and aerial team photos.

My event photography starts at $350 for 1 hour in Wellington. Longer bookings work out cheaper per hour: 2 hours is $630 ($315 an hour) and 3 hours is $910 (about $303 an hour). A half day is $1,160 and a full day is $1,800. All prices are in NZD and include GST, and multi-day events get 10% off.

My real estate photography is fixed-price: $390 for 15 edited photos including 2-3 drone shots, or $490 for 25 photos including 2-5 drone shots. Listing videos are $250 for a slideshow with music, $650 for a 60-90 second video with agent intro and outro, music and voiceover, and $850 for up to 120 seconds plus 3 social media videos. Add virtual twilight photos for $190, a 3D tour for $350 or 2D floor plans for $200.

Video production is priced on application, because it depends on how long I film, how many locations and interviews there are, and how much editing, graphics and how many versions you need. The fixed-price exceptions are a 60-second highlight video added to a corporate photography booking ($750) and my real estate video packages ($250, $650 and $850). Send me your brief and I will come back with a quote.

Event galleries are delivered within 24 hours. Corporate galleries arrive within 72 hours, or within 24 hours with the $400 rush add-on. Real estate photos are delivered the same day or the next business day. Event highlight videos usually take 3-4 weeks, and shorter video projects a few days.

Yes, all prices listed are inclusive of GST.

Yes, a deposit is required to secure your date. For events and corporate sessions, a 50% deposit is standard, with the balance due before the shoot.

Absolutely! The packages listed are starting points. I'm happy to create a custom package tailored to your specific needs. Just get in touch and we'll work something out.

Travel within the greater Wellington region (including the Hutt Valley and Porirua) is included at no extra cost. For locations further afield like the Wairarapa, Kapiti Coast, or Hawke's Bay, a travel fee applies.

I use advanced AI tools to speed up the editing process without sacrificing quality. Colour correction, exposure adjustments, and retouching are all completed faster, which is how I deliver event galleries within 24 hours and corporate galleries within 72 hours instead of the industry-standard weeks.
