FAQ
Q: Why should we book a professional photographer for our wedding?
A: With a full-time professional wedding photographer you are ensured quality and commitment. A professional will capture your day with the best equipment, they will post-process your images with top of the line editing software. They will spend hours and hours of time going over each photo to make sure it looks its best before you get it, and they will order your prints and albums from some of the best professional print labs in the world in order to ensure that you get the highest quality products possible. This is one day you will always want to remember, do not book someone if you cannot guarantee their quality and commitment. Book a professional and be more than proud of your photos.
Q: Can you tell me about the collections you offer?
A: I know just how daunting the whole process of wedding planning is so I keep things as simple as possible. I've come up with a number of collections that includes those things that I know will make the most of your wedding photography experience. While I have found that these collections work well for most couples, you still have the flexibility to create your own collection should you wish to.
Q: Can I customise the collection further?
A: Additional hours, photographers, Snapshot Studio, guest signing albums, handfinished prints, save-the-date and thank you cards, can all be added on an a la carte basis as desired.
Q: What is your photographic style?
A: While some would call it photojournalistic or editorial or candid, I call it modern lifestyle. My style is all about capturing the REAL you and the JOY of your day. Unobtrusively and sensitively. If my photographs speak to YOU then you'll know it's YOUR style and that's what is most important.
Q: Can you tell me why we should choose you?
A1: Photographs are important to you. They are so important to me!
A2: My images speak to you in a certain way... you appreciate how they appear more alive, more creative, more fun, more... something. And you want that.
A3: Like me, you're one of those people who hates your picture taken so you want to hire someone who makes it easy, pleasant, and even fun. But at the same time, you want them invisible most of the day.
A4: You are the type of person who prefers to deal directly with a photographer who will meet you personally over a cup of coffee, or glass of wine, and give you one-on-one personalised attention from start to finish.
A5: You understand that I will be an integral part of your entire wedding experience and that I will actually put you at ease and add to the pleasure of your day.
A6: You're fun. (Fun people always choose to hire me!)
A7: You can appreciate and love my work.
Q: Why is the personality of the photographer we choose so important?
A: Keep in mind that you'll be spending almost the entire day (the most hectic and emotional day of your life) with your photographer. You want to feel comfortable around and supported by this person. You want someone who knows when to take charge and when to be utterly invisible.
Q: And afterwards?
A: Unlike most wedding professionals that you'll deal with, our relationship continues well after you've returned from your honeymoon. You may never speak with your florist, dressmaker, caterer or band after your wedding day, but your work with your photographer has only just begun. The album and print process continues for awhile. Besides, my goal is to be your photographer for life.
Q: I hate posing for pictures. Do I have to pose?
A: I know what you mean. I hate posing for pictures too. Posing isn't natural and I don't think it looks natural either.
Q: But the people in your pictures always look like they're smiling. You must tell them to smile, no?
A: My clients are smiling and look like they are having fun because they ARE having fun! I won't tell you to smile. But I might make you smile. There's a big difference. But that's my secret, so don't tell anyone.
Q: Do you do traditional wedding photographs too?
A: If you mean do I take traditional family pictures in addition to my more lifestyle and photojournalistic work then the answer is absolutely yes. I appreciate the value of and the history behind the traditional family portrait, and while they may not be as exciting as some of my more informal portraiture, they serve an important function.
Q: Do you shoot digital?
A: 100%
Q: Do you travel?
A: Absolutely! Have passport--will travel for weddings anywhere. Please ask for my availability and my Domestic or International Wedding Services Lists.
Q: I really want you, but you're out of my budget, what can I do?
A: See my section on The Registry and let your family and friends get you something more meaningful than a vase as a wedding gift.
Q: What do I need to do to book you?
A: A signed agreement and a deposit of $500.00 are required to reserve the date for you. Dates are filled on a first come-first served basis.
Q: What if I have questions that aren't listed here?
A: Email me at allisonhernach@gmail.com or give me a call on 0430 134 165. I'd love to hear what you're planning and discuss how I can preserve your memories for you.
