Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, I ask for a 50% non-refundable retainer (deposit) to secure your booking. Once it’s paid, your date is confirmed, and the retainer is applied to your final invoice.

The retainer is non-refundable if cancelled, though with 30 days’ notice, I can often apply part of it toward a rescheduled event, subject to availability.

I specialize in still photography, but I can recommend or coordinate with local videographers if needed.

High-res .jpg images are delivered via Google Drive within 3-5 business days. The gallery will be kept active for 60 days, allowing you to view, download, or share the images as needed.

Each assignment is unique, but typically 25–50 images per hour of coverage are delivered. I document events thoroughly to ensure all key moments are covered.

All delivered images receive colour correction, exposure adjustment, and basic retouching.
