Retouching is a personal choice and so we work with you to get to your level of retouching.
We generally edit out major double chin situations etc. We don’t edit to make you drop 5 dress sizes, but feel free to chat to us about your requirements/wishes and we’ll make sure that you’re thrilled with the end result.
Please discuss your retouching needs BEFORE your wedding/session so we can let you know what we can do for you.
The availability of our services varies based on the month of your wedding, as we frequently have bookings scheduled one to two years in advance. To ensure that we can dedicate sufficient attention to each wedding, we limit the number of events we accept annually. Therefore, it is advisable to contact us as early as possible to secure your desired date.
However, sometimes we will have dates available unexpectedly, so it always pays to check!
To finalize your booking, it is recommended to do so as soon as you are confident that we are the right photographers for you. A signed contract and a retainer are required to officially reserve your date.

The quantity of photographs one can anticipate varies significantly from one wedding to another. Factors such as the size of the wedding party, the total number of guests, the duration set aside for portrait sessions, the floral arrangements and decorations, the number of locations involved, the number of photographers present (2 for us!), and the travel time between venues all contribute to the final photo count.
Generally speaking, for a typical wedding day, which encompasses everything from preparations to the dancing portion of the event, one can expect to receive around 800 photographs.
We’ve been photographing weddings for 8 years (Agnes) and with Tali for 5 years. Hava has joined in the last year as we’ve added video films.
We’ve shot well over 100 weddings together.
We don’t charge for travel in the South Island of New Zealand and minimal for the North Island and Worldwide.
When you book us as your wedding photographers we’ll ask you to fill in initial questionnaire designed to provide us with a foundational understanding of your wedding day. Additionally, a signed contract along with a booking fee of 25% will secure your chosen date.
