***COVID-19 UPDATE: I am open for business and continue to be extremely respectful of photographing clients by sticking to 'social distancing' practises and photographing with face masks. During these crazy COVID-19 times, Im offering a 15% discount on any Graduation/Outdoor Portrait sessions (offer valid until 30 June 2020) YOU should hire me if: 1. Authenticity is important to you- 'Authenticity' has been on my mind a lot lately. In this age of mobile phones and social media, there is so much pretending that it can feel like nothing is real anymore. I've been sitting with this feeling for some time and spent most of my efforts in 2019 trying to capture those authentic, highly spontaneous and genuine moments that focus on faithfully documenting your wedding day. YOU should hire me if: 2. Wedding Packages won't break the bank: Im proud to offer award-winning services that won't break the bank, with packages that strive to capture couples in an unobtrusive and contemporary fashion. Couples can 'Design their own packages' with services that include engagement, trash the dress and wedding portrait shoots. YOU should hire me if: 3. Experience /variety are important to you - I have experience photographing a variety of religions and non-traditional weddings including Hindu, Indian, Greek, Zulu, Xhosa, Jewish, same-sex couples and have shot destination weddings around the globe including England, France, USA, Germany, South Africa, and Ireland. YOU should hire me if: 4. High-octane energy is important to you - Thanks to my high octane energy levels and my ability to put you at ease, my greatest asset, and most consistent feedback in wedding reviews are my energy levels and how they helped couples to enjoy and love the process of being photographed on wedding day. YOU should hire me if: 5. Speed and timing is important to you - one area where I continue to impressive clients is with my rapid 'response time' with emails as well delivery time of your wedding day digital files (between 1-2 weeks) on average. YOU should hire me if: 6. You are lookin for a solo photographer - I'm a specialist photographer, working alone (no second shooters, no videography services offered) in a highly mobile and agile manner, which minimizes the physical impact of me on your wedding day
