Top 5 Tips for Choosing a Wedding Photographer
Top 5 Tips for Choosing a Wedding Photographer
These days the wedding services market is flooded with professionals as well as amateurs. Some brides choose the photographer with the most attractive prices, some decide to invite the guy who photographed her best friend's wedding and others go by their gut feeling.
But how do you choose YOUR photographer? Here are some tips that will help you make the right decision:
1. Scrutinize and study the photographer's portfolio. Find their website, Instagram, Facebook page – all you can get your hands on! The way the photographer posts their private photos can say a lot about their tastes! If you are dreaming of classical, modest photographs, it will be much harder to get them from a photographer who always asks newly-weds to jump and make silly faces.
2. Generally speaking, wedding photographers publish only about a third of all the photos from a celebration on their websites. Don't be shy to ask for the others if you, for example, didn't find any shots with the cake or the first dance. (Did the photographer smudge all the shots or did this couple have no cake?)
3. If a photographer offers a trial photo session – don't pass up on the opportunity! You can score double points for arranging trial make up to be done on the same day. You will get to see how your make up looks on the photos and get to know the make up artist and the photographer! Doing so will take away any uncertainty and stress of dealing with them on the Big Day, which is definitely something you don't want. As you will probably arrange for this quite some time in advance, they will be like some good old friends you are glad to see by the time your celebration happens!
4. Pay attention as to what the photographer puts emphasis on. Do they ask you lots of questions to make this work for you, or do they take a more of an authoritarian stance, dictating their own rules on what the venue should be like, and what the guests can or cannot do? A good photographer will listen and make recommendations that are up to you to follow. A real professional will be able to work at any venue under any circumstances and your nanny taking photos on her phone definitely won’t interfere with their photography!
5. And finally, the most important advice. Your wedding photographer is someone who will be very close to you during the Big Day. So find someone you enjoy being around. Find a person you can laugh with as your smile is the beginning of a good photo!

The morning of the wedding
Depending on how many ladies are having makeup will depend on the time frame needed for the makeup to start. This is determined between myself & the photographer who is doing your wedding.
From my 18 years experience in doing makeup for weddings its always best too have more time than not enough, as there are always reasons for the makeup to be held up, flowers arrive etc
Plus bridesmaids always somehow dissapear when I'm ready for the next makeup :)
Parking Fee's for hotels
Most hotel venues have visitors parking available for the makeup and hair teams, if however there isn't parking available & no parking is available on the street, the paid parking costs need to be covered as well.
Hair preparation
Wash your hair the night before always leave your hair too dry naturally. Do not put any serums or argan oils into your hair at all.
Travel
I do travel between Byron Bay, Gold Coast & Brisbane
Travel fees are
$20 for 30 minutes & under (to the location)
$40 for 30 minutes to 1 hour
$60 for 1 hour to 1.5 hrs
$100 for over 1.5 hrs
( minimum of 6 people for travelling over 1.5 hrs)
Deposit
A non refundable $50 deposit is paid to secure the wedding day & this $50 will be taken off the total cost of the makeup on the wedding day.
Wedding date rescheduling is only allowed in cases of emergencies & for any other reason a minimum of 2 months notice is required & then 50% payment of the total cost of the wedding is required for my company to keep another date free for your wedding.
Booking your makeup & hair
I recommend booking your trial for a special occasion. Whenever possible its always nice too book your makeup and hair trial on the same day so you can see the completed look together. It's not always going to be possible but whenever it can be done as long as plenty of notice is given we will try our best to do so.
Firstly you are going to look fantastic so you won't want to waste good makeup just going home too wash it off. It's best too organise the trial for a special occasion like a hens night or a night out. I also recommend getting your makeup/hair done early on in the day too.
As the wedding day the makeup/hair is normally done really early on in the day. That way you can see for yourself just how long the makeup lasts & you can also give me feedback as to whether your face got a bit shiney by the end of the day & how the makeup stayed in place, then we can discuss either getting a touch up face powder or applying a fine powder over the top of the makeup to set it.
"The latest look" or makeup "that is on trend" at the moment is a dewy look, which is great BUT unfortunately the makeup needs to stay on for over 12 hours so in order for the makeup to last the appropriate products need to be used to achieve longevity. Its still possible to achieve a highlighted makeup look which still has the staying power needed to last all day/night.
If you are planning on having a fake tan make sure you have used the tanning company before and try the tan at least a few months before your wedding. As you don't want to have a tan disaster and turn out orange or patchy on your wedding day.
Me
Terms & Conditions
I offer Airbrushing & Conventional makeup applications
The decision on which makeup service will be used cannot be determined until a consultation is done & your skin type/ likes and dislikes are discussed. As everyone has different types of skins/skin textures & different wants and needs.
If you have any skin allergies (that you know of or have experienced before) this has to be brought to my attention before the makeup trial/session begins. Failure to do so prior to the makeup application will hold the client responsible.
Skin Preparation -
Do not try any face masks or skin peels or any treatments that you haven't done in the past prior to the wedding. It is not worth taking the chance and getting a skin reaction/breakout or allergy.
Before the trial or wedding day please make sure all grooming is done on your face (ie) eyebrow plucking / waxing or threading. Do not do any of these treatments 1 or 2 days prior to the wedding as anything could happed and you don't want any scabs/skin tears or skin blemises on your special day.
Any eyebrow/eyelash tinting should also be done 1 week prior to your wedding day. To ensure all tint on the skin is gone before your wedding day.
Also don't exfoliate your skin 1or 2 days before the wedding as sometimes you could be using the same face product for years and all of a sudden have an allergy to it.
The morning of the wedding please do your normal daily cleanse routine only.
Cleanse , tone & moisturize as normal.
Please don't use any oil based moisturizers as they can react with a waterproof based foundation which is mainly what i use for weddings as it has longevity.
