How long will it take to deliver our beautiful gallery?
I absolutely get a kick out of sharing a compilation of highlights! For social media + sharing purposes with family & friends, a collection of highlights of images will be delivered within 48 hours after your wedding. It will take approximately 4 weeks to process & deliver your wedding photos & video collection. Please note that during the peak wedding seasons, the editing process can take longer than expected between 6-8 weeks.
How much time should we allow for our wedding photo session?
Once the ceremony has finished there will be a period where we require time to do photoshoots/sessions. Here is a guideline with an approx time requested:
• 5 to 10mins for the entire group (on-site venue)
• 30mins for family portraits (on-site venue)
If you would like a first look before the ceremony please allow:
• 30mins for the first look
• 45min to 1 hour for the wedding couple portrait and bridal party.
NOTE: This does not include the travel time off-site location which needs to be taken into account (subject to change & can be discussed. Typically, I shall scout for off-site location(s) & provide you with a time of travel to be accounted for.
Do you provide 'black and white' photos?
Yes! I love black & white! In your gallery, you may find images that were carefully hand-picked for black & white which will include the colour image as well.
Do you provide other photography or videography services?
I sure do! I offer a range of photography/videography which includes the following: Family portraits, all events, & commercial work. Feel free to get in touch and I would love to hear your ideas!
What is your policy regarding COVID-19 / Cancellation?
The whole team who are under my supervision are vaccinated. Coralde Studio complies with the government regulations in the New Zealand Covid-19 Protection Framework. The team & myself are ready to capture your special day regardless of the current Covid-19 traffic light system.
Do you deliver RAW files?
Unfortunately, I do not deliver RAW files and the reason is very simple. They are unfinished and unedited images & therefore are not an accurate representation of Coralde Studios final images. All images are carefully curated & professionally edited to give the best outcome in every photo delivered.
