How long until we see our photos?

Sneak peeks within 48 hours, and the full edited gallery within 3 weeks. We also deliver social-ready squares for Instagram inside a week.

Do you shoot film or digital?

Primarily digital on high-end Sony mirrorless bodies, with a film back-up for the ceremony and first dance if the couple wants that texture.

Can we have the unedited files?

We deliver only our edited selects — typically 40–50 per hour of coverage. Raw files stay in our archive so we can keep our quality promise.

Will you travel for destination weddings?

Yes. Travel and accommodation are quoted per destination. We have a current East African passport and regional visa coverage.

Do you offer an engagement session?

Included with the Full Day and Signature packages — it doubles as a get-comfortable session so you feel relaxed on the wedding day itself.

What happens if you are sick on the day?

We have a network of trusted associate photographers. If the lead cannot shoot, we send a fully briefed associate photographer of the same calibre.

Could not be happier. The sneak peeks arrived 24 hours after the wedding and kept us floating on the honeymoon high for weeks.
