Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! We are proud to serve the Darwin NT, Australia area, offering our full-service, all-inclusive wedding photography packages.

As you browse our site you will notice that there are no typical pose-and-shoot wedding portraits.

Christina will be spending the Feb-April 2009 in Australia and is excited to offer wedding photography services for Darwin!

Some common questions about our wedding photography services for Darwin NT

What makes you different from other wedding photographers in Darwin NT Australia?

There are a lot of great choices in Darwin. We all have our own creative style and unique offerings so it's hard to compare. However, we can tell you that our approach may be a little bit different from other photographers in the following ways:

• We give you a disc with high resolution printable images you can take to any lab. Many wedding photographers will give you a disc, but it will have low resolution images that cannot be printed. Having high-resolution files means you have control over your images -- and it means don't have to worry about spending money on anything after your wedding day is over.
• We also provide you with a DVD slideshow set to music that you can share with friends and family.
• To save you the time and expense of burning discs for others, we make a special copy for each set of parents.
• We also provide you with an online gallery that's linked to a professional photo lab. That means your friends and family can order prints directly without needing to go through you.
• You are welcome to come back to us at any time (at no extra cost) to request further touchups to your images for up to one year. We'll even put the edited files on a new CD for you.
• We give you 4x6 unmarked prints (meaning we don't stamp our logo on them) and some of our packages also include credits towards enlargements or albums.
• We also have a wedding gift registry where your guests can contribute towards your photography!

All of our photographers have diplomas in professional photography. Christina, the photographer who serves Darwin NT, Australia, also has a master's degree in journalism and experience in producing, writing and filming documentaries. Telling a story visually comes naturally to her and it's something she has always loved doing. She has won international awards and recognition through her association with the Wedding Photojournalists Association. Our studio post-production artists have over 10 years of experince with digital retouching and we are able to provide you with professionally-edited images that will have you and your guests looking your very best.

Please contact us for a detailed price guide for our wedding photography packages.

How soon can we see our wedding photographs after our day is over?

Normal viewing time is within four weeks of your wedding date or sooner. To ensure every image we provide you is perfect, our post-production generally requires about 30 hours of work. Albums can take an additional 20 hours, plus consultation time.

What is your approach to photographing weddings?

Remember those school portraits where you sat stiffly holding a smile for an eternity? Well... we are the exact opposite of that. We spend the time to get to know you, to find out the kinds of images that appeal to you and to understand the way you want to spend your day. We really want to know how to make sure you can relax and enjoy your wedding. Our team of photographers strives to create images that tell the unique story of your day. We want to give you images that are unlike anyone else's.

What is your style - are you photojournalism, fashion, fine art?

Actually, we offer a blend of all of the above, or you can pick just one and we will customize our style for your taste. Christina is inspired by fashion photography, photojournalism and fine art.

What exactly does wedding photojournalism mean? Does this mean you never take posed or directed photos? What if we want some traditional portraits of our families and friends?

If you choose our wedding photojournalism approach we can be as hands off or as hands on as you like. Most people prefer to have their wedding day covered without intrustion, but still want to spend some time doing straight-forward posed family portraits and relaxed-yet-creative couple and wedding party portraits.

Do you ever take posed pictures before the wedding so we can spend more time with our guests after the ceremony?

Absolutely. Many people opt to do this and it does mean you can spend your entire wedding celelebration doing just that -- celebrating!

I look terrible in pictures. I'm worried about how I'll look in pictures on my wedding day.

We hear this all the time and that's why we take the pressure off "put your hands this way and your feet that way" and instead work on getting you to relax in front of the camera. Even during directed moments we will provide you with some straight-forward instructions that ensure you are acting naturally. Many of the people in our wedding gallery told us they were uneasy about having their picture taken and yet they all look like rock stars! I'll bet you won't be able to tell the people who were camera shy.

How do we receive our wedding images when the event is over?

We will use an insured express-post courier to deliver your wedding CD, prints and albums when your package is complete at no extra cost.

How can we meet with you to arrange a one-on-one consulation?

You are welcome to contact us with times that work for you and we will arrange a one-on-one phone consultation with you to discuss your wedding further and tell you more about how we work. To help us serve you better, please provide us with your time zone, plus the location and date of your wedding. Once Christina is in Australia she would be more than happy to meet with you in person. If time permits, she also offers a complimentary get-to-know you engagement session before your wedding. This allows Christina to find out what makes you relax and it allows you to become more comfortable having the camera around you.
