FAQ

Have a look through my highlights gallery to get a good idea of my photography style and my editing style!
As you'll have probably read throughout my website, I'm all about candid photography! I love capturing people laughing and smiling, being in the moment and enjoying themselves!
Your gallery will also include posed photos (family and friends etc), detail shots (such as food and drinks, decor and any other details that make your event unique to you), wide shots of the whole space, and dancing!
This variety is to make sure your gallery encapsulates all aspects of your event.
This often depends on what you have planned for your event and how many guests will be attending.
If your event is sit-down, pretty low-key and/or has under 50 guests, 2-3 hours is usually great to cover a few short speeches, cake cutting, candid/roving photos, posed photos, and maybe some dancing depending on how you structure your event.
If you have a larger guest list and would like posed photos with as many guests as possible, and/or if you have a lot of setup/decor you'd like photographed, speeches, activities/games, performers, and especially if you and your guests love to party and dance, 3-4 hours coverage is best.
Shoot me a message and we can have a chat about it if you're still unsure!
Yep, that’s what keeps your date booked in my calendar. I require a 50% deposit via bank transfer, or you can opt to pay the full amount via credit card but please note there is a credit card fee.
Please note that your booking is not confirmed until deposit payment has been made which means your date is still available for other enquires.
The remaining payment is due 1 week before your event.
You’ll receive your online gallery, fully edited, within 2 – 3 weeks.
I do have a rush fee if you’d like a 2-day turnaround (if I don’t have a booking the next day).
There is no limit to the amount of images I select, edit and send to you. If the image is good, i’ll include it!
I average around 70-100 images per hour, so for a 4-hour booking for example you’ll receive around 320-400 images.
The amount of final images will also depend on what you have planned for your event, and how many guests.
Your photos will be uploaded to a beautiful online gallery that can be shared with guests and vendors. From there you and your guests can view and download your photos in high resolution.
Primarily engagement parties, as well as birthday parties, bridal showers, hen’s parties, corporate events, public/government-funded events, and university events.
Yes! From your online gallery you’ll be able to download high-resolution images suitable for printing.
I recommend going to a professional printer to make sure you get the best quality possible. I’ve spent painstaking time editing your photos to perfection, and quick self-print services like Officeworks or Kmart don’t tend to match what you see on your screen.
I do also offer printed photo albums, check them out! https://www.nikkirussianphotography.com.au/wedding-albums
