Ruby Package

Choose any three of the following pre- or post- wedding photoshoot options for just $990:

Engagement shoot with guestbook:

• A pre-wedding photoshoot (approx 1 hour). We practice our hair and makeup, and have a run-through of the ceremony with our celebrant.
  But how comfortable are we with having a camera-person follow us throughout our wedding day?
  An engagement shoot gives you a chance to warm to the camera and learn the techniques to look your very best in print!
• Includes a unique and personalised reception guest book made with these photos (and some from your own family album if you like).
  The book is designed for your friends and family to write messages and record their wishes for you, becoming a super-special keepsake.
• Print-ready images supplied on disc - ideal to use on your wedding stationery.

Cinematic Engagement Shoot

• It's all the rage in the US and catching on fast here too. Besides, it's SUCH FUN!
  Be inspired by your favourite movie, book, or MTV video and create a series of images flavoured by them.
  Dress up, go out, and feel like a movie star!
• Or, create your own storyboard to tell your own story.
• A collaborative project where we'll work together to create the drama and images you envision.
• Includes preparation time and a one hour photoshoot.
• Print ready images supplied on disc.
• I recommend adding a photobook or guest book to this shoot, coz these images will be enthusiastically pawed over by your guests!

Posing 201 workshop

• Learn the inside tips and tricks to looking amazing in front of the camera. I'll take you through a series of suggestions and let your practice them in my Richmond studio. You'll see the results immediately on my computer screen.
• For both the bride and groom, or make it part of your hens party (room for up to 6 people).
• Allow approximately 2 hours.
• Print-ready images supplied on disc – you'll definitely want to share these glamour shots!

Hen Party

• Use me as either part of the entertainment for a glamour shoot with your best gals
  (use my studio for small numbers, or I can come to your place for a full-on party!), or
• As a photo-journalist to record the party mayhem out on the town!
• Approximately 2 hours coverage.

Rock Ya Frock!

• Don't leave your gown for the moths to munch on! Rock it out and get those images you couldn't risk creating on your wedding day. Drape your dress in the tide, swim in the river, dance in a fountain, pose on a digger, milk the cows, take me hunting … the list is endless … the purpose is to fully celebrate who you most truly are, and create images that simply make you go "Wow!".
• Up to 1 ½ hours at a local location of your choice.
• Print ready images supplied on disc.

Post-wedding BBQ

• Having a get-together the day after your wedding? Get great images of your nearest-and-dearest enjoying precious time together.
• Get those family groupings you just couldn't fit in on your wedding day.
• Create professional family portraits in a relaxed 'real' setting, which you can gift to your guests.
• Up to 2 hours on location.
• Print ready images supplied on disc.

Reception Studio

• Provide added entertainment for your guests during reception. They'll love the opportunity to ham-it-up for the camera!
