Questions
Good to know
How many hours of coverage do I need?
Most events need two to four hours. That usually covers arrivals, speeches and the busiest part of the event. I'll suggest the right amount once I know your plans.
Can you do posed group photos as well as candids?
Yes. I mostly shoot candid, but I'm happy to organise quick group shots or a photo wall at set times.
Do you bring your own lighting?
Yes. I bring discreet flash and fast lenses so dark venues still look great.
How soon will we get the photos?
The full gallery arrives within 2-3 days. If you need a few for social media the next morning, just ask.
