thanks for your wedding photography booking!

hi and thanks for booking your wedding photography package with Sunny Coast Photos!

my name is dave gleeson, I'll be your wedding photographer and I'm looking forward to meeting you soon!

if you are not already familiar with my wedding photography style, feel free to view my sample wedding gallery

my wedding photography style is very candid, casual and relaxed with an emphasis on natural, unstaged and fun photos, so hopefully this is the style of wedding coverage that you want.

now that I have received your booking, you will receive regular emails and updates from me to keep you informed about what to expect in the lead up to your special day. we will also meet up at a suitable time before the wedding so that we can go over all your details and get to know each other in person.

what happens now?

you will soon receive a copy of my terms and conditions (via email) which outlines what I will do for you, and also what I need from you to ensure that everything runs smoothly. please sign and return this asap to finalise the legal part of our agreement. if you have already received and signed this, thankyou!

I will also send you a wedding questionnaire where you can fill in all the details of your day and outline any special wedding photography requests that you may have. this will help me plan your timeline for the day (I understand that not everything will be locked in yet, but if you can please fill this in with as much detail as possible it would be great)

if you have any questions or want to chat at anytime, just give me a call or send me an email or text

what does your package include?

your photography package includes all my time with communications and planning your shoot prior to your wedding, our pre -wedding meetup, all my time photography expertise, creativity and technical skills on your wedding day, use of all my professional photographic equipment plus all my extra time in editing and post production, gallery creation and delivery of your images along with ongoing assistance after your wedding.

your package includes a specific amount of my time on your wedding day and a specific number of digital photos included. this information would have been provided prior to your booking, and also in the first email that I sent you, however if you have any queries or want to add any extra time or photos to your package, please let me know. extra digital images are available after you have viewed your gallery if required (our full day package includes all images)

a huge range of professional wall art and other print products are available to choose from after you have viewed your gallery of images. I'm a huge believer that photos aren't truly appreciated until they are printed and displayed, so I really encourage all clients to consider printing a few of their favourite images. more information on our printed products, can be found on this page

if you want to include any printed products in your wedding bundle a 20% pre-wedding discount applies. save $$

your wedding images are archived on my secure server for 6 months, in case you misplace them at your end.

what's the typical photography timeline on your wedding day?

depending on the package that you have booked, I will arrange to meet you on your wedding day before the ceremony at an agreed time/location. every package is different an I will discuss all this with you in more detail as your day gets closer.

before the ceremony start I will capture portraits of both partners, images of the ceremony setup, guests arriving and other details such as flowers, rings, location etc.

at the ceremony start time I will help your celebrant to coordinate your bridal party / brides entrance.

throughout the ceremony I will capture a range of candid moments including the walk in, first look, ring exchange, your vow exchange, the first kiss and the signing of official registers etc.

you may then choose to do an official 'walk out' where your guests throw flower petals/confetti etc. followed by hugs, kisses and congratulations from friends and family.

family and friends/group photos will follow adjacent to the ceremony location.

after that it's time for your couples / bridal party shoot.

if you have booked a package with extra time for reception/ceremony photos, this will happen at the relevant time

please note that our various wedding photography packages include different times and number of images so please ensure that the package you have chosen meets your needs to avoid any issues on the day

what about extra services?

i also offer a range of extra services and work with other trusted local vendors to help minimise the running around at your end. so whether you are looking for a great local celebrant, beautiful flowers, styling or wedding furniture, hair and makeup, videography or anything else, let me know and I can point you in the direction of trusted local providers.

if you just want a simple video of your ceremony, I can also look after that myself - rates from only $300 & gst.

if you would like some prints or a wedding album, I have a trusted range of professional print labs to handle this. discounts apply if purchasing prints as part of your wedding package.

contact me for more information on any of the above!

more helpful information..

your wedding photography results are heavily dependent on location, weather and time of day so please take this into account when organising your wedding. unfortunately I cannot conjure up a beautiful sunset or blue sky day, so your photography results will be heavily dependent on the conditions, location and time of day.

wet weather in Queensland can happen at any time of year, and may impact my ability to cover outdoor weddings effectively, so if you are planning an outdoor ceremony please have a 'plan b' wet weather location 'just in case'.

please note that it is vital that you meet me at the agreed time on your wedding day to ensure that I can cover your wedding effectively in the time you have booked. please try not to be late!

hopefully the above info helps give you a bit more info about what to expect, however if you have any other questions, or want to amend your package in any way, or chat further, just let me know!

thanks! dave
