Questions & Answers

How long have you been photographing weddings?

6 years and I have photographed well over 100 weddings! I love it so much and people tell me it shows in my work. When you choose Callander Girl Photography, you are choosing someone who actually cares about your wedding and that you have the best day ever!

What is your style?

Romantic, spontaneous, fun, documentary based, creative, vintage inspired - I write with light, tell your story with light. This is the art of photography.

My partner feels uncomfortable getting their photo taken, can you help?

Absolutely I can! You are not alone, I come across this all the time where usually the groom is nervous or not even wanting his photo to be taken. I recommend an engagement shoot so we can spend some time just the two of you and me- getting to know each other a little bit in a relaxed setting. These shoots are a really lovely thing to do together. With all the stress and business of planning a wedding, it is nice to take some time to be together intentionally focused on each other.

If this doesn’t suit you, then rest assured that CGP is totally awesome and will make your guy feel relaxed - he will even have fun.

But I'm so un-photogenic!

There is no such thing as an un-photogenic person when being photographed by CGP.  You feel un-photogenic because you haven’t been photographed in a way that makes you feel relaxed and at ease. When you are relaxed you are yourself and there is nothing more beautiful than a person who is natural.

How do we decide on the photo locations?

I can be involved with this if it helps. If you have a clear theme for your wedding it is really nice to incorporate this into your locations. If you are really stuck for ideas I can offer lots of fabulous suggestions and take you places that you may never have considered. It is great to talk about all your ideas so I get a feeling for who you are and what suits you both. Then your photographs reflect your personalities and your relationship.

Are you a real professional, or a pretend professional?

I am a true, real, professional. You know this because I am a qualified member of the NZIPP, I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in photography, I only use professional cameras, lenses, printers, photographic papers and work with Queensberry Designer Albums. Plus, I am the NZIPP Wedding Photographer of the Year!
