Frequently Asked Questions

What photography services do you offer?

I specialize in a wide range of professional photography, including weddings, proposals, wildlife, conservation, lodges, hotels, real estate, and lifestyle portraits. Each service is tailored to your needs - whether it's documenting a once-in-a-lifetime safari or creating marketing content for your property.

Where are you based, and do you travel for shoots?

I am based in South Africa but regularly travel across Africa and internationally for weddings, safaris, conservation projects, and property shoots. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately, and I often plan multi-day shoots for clients outside my home base.

How do you price your photography packages?

Pricing is based on the type of shoot, coverage required, and usage rights. Lifestyle and family sessions start from R2 500.00, real estate from R2 00.00, weddings from R18 000.00, and commercial lodge or conservation projects from R8 000.00. Every package can be customized depending on your needs.

Do you also provide video services?

Yes, I do both videography and photography. My prime focus is on photography but I do offer short-form video content (social media reels, cinematic highlight videos, and drone video). For larger productions, I collaborate with trusted videographers to deliver a complete photo & video package.

Do you require a deposit to secure a booking?

Yes - a nonrefundable administration and retainer fee of 20% is required to secure your date, with the balance due 7 days before the date of the shoot. This deposit ensures the date is exclusively booked for you and enables back end processes to be built.

How long does it take to receive the final photos and videos?

Turnaround time varies by project size. Lifestyle and real estate sessions are usually delivered in 5 - 7 working days, weddings in 6 - 8 weeks, and large-scale lodge or conservation shoots in 3 - 4 weeks. Sneak peaks are often shared within a few days.

What is your cancellation policy?

My cancellation policy allows for rescheduling with at least 14 days notice to avoid fees. The initiation and planning retainer will not be refundable should the photoshoot be cancelled within a month of the scheduled shoot date.

Do you offer prints, albums, or wall art?

Yes - all clients can upgrade their packages with luxury prints, fine art albums, or large format wall art. Many couples and lodges invest in premium printed products to showcase their story in a tangible, lasting way.

Can your photos be used for commercial marketing?

Yes - but usage rights vary depending on the project. Personal shoots (Weddings, family, lifestyle) are licensed for personal use, while commercial shoots (lodges, hotels, real estate, conservation campaigns) include marketing rights. Extended licensing for global advertising is available on request.
