Tracey is the force in the background. From an awesome organizer to a fantastic motivator she keeps everything in check. She is a woman that dots the I's and crosses the T's. She has also been known to be the handbrake when Bren's enthusiasm or spontaneity gets out of check.

We are there for our clients and will help out in which ever way we possibly can.

We got our wedding photos done in November 2015 and from the initial consultation until the very end we were extremely happy. Bren is the sort of guy who you feel super comfortable around quite quickly which makes all the difference. His prices were very very reasonable and we couldn't be happier with our photos, he captured all the best moments. Bren was so passionate about what he does and he was just as excited for us to see our photos as we were, so much so that he came over the day after our wedding to deliver us some sneak peaks. Just seeing his passion and excitement makes the process even more amazing. We got all our photos so fast, and we were 100% in love with them. I can't fault any part of the process, and would even go as far to say he was my favourite business by far to deal with throughout the whole wedding process. HIGHLY reccomend!!

Everything about working with Bren was fabulous! Communications were prompt and even though we never spoke in person before the day of the wedding... everything went super smooth without a hitch! He is one amazing photogragher! Choosing him as our photographer was the best decision we made! He photographed our friends wedding and we loved the photos. Bren helped make the day run so smoothly and went out of his way to make our day special, not just with his amazing photography but everything in between. Bren your commitment to getting amazing photos was evident when you were hiking up the back of the Sluicings. I can't thank you enough from Kerry and I. We love all the pictures. Bren should be your first choice as a photographer!

We recently got our wedding photos done. Bren was so professional, made us feel at ease and the photos are fabulous. He covered everything and guests said they didn't even know he was there at times. He has a eye for a great shot and we couldn't be happier! Thanks so much!

BEHIND THE SCENES OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

A look int the day of a Wedding shoot, and the typical flow.

FOLLOWING THE PASSION

Why have I chosen to be a wedding photographer? The answer lies within this blog.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY STYLES EXPLAINED

Have you ever wondered what the most common styles in wedding photography are?

How many images will I receive with my package?

Pixel Kiss believes that quality comes over quantity. With that in mind we do not set minimum image numbers. What we do promise is quality images from throughout the day.

Do we need to feed you at the reception?

You do not need to feed me, but it will surely be appreciated. There is nothing worse than smelling delicious dinners when all I have in my camera bag are stale muesli bars. If you were to feed me I would appreciate eating at the same time as your guests. Lets be honest, people are not very photogenic whilst eating.

Can our guests take photos on the day too?

Of course! However, I do prefer to shoot what is commonly known as an "unplugged ceremony". During the ceremony if your guests could restrain from photographing or videoing on their mobile devices it would be appreciated. Believe me, you will appreciate seeing your guests faces instead of the back of phones. At all other times your guests are more than welcome to click away.

Do you edit all of our photos?

Yes, all your photos will be edited by us. We use Adobe Photoshop for all editing.

Do you provide video imaging too

We are photographers and do not provide video services. If you would like videography as well, I would be happy to point you in the direction of a talented videographer.

Can you help us with choosing locations for photos?

I am more than happy to help you choose locations for photos. Lets talk things through and we will come out with an amazing plan that will work!

Do you do engagement shoots?

I love engagement shoots! It gives us an opportunity to work together before a wedding.

How long will we have to wait for our photos?

Typically all digital images will be delivered within four weeks, maybe even sooner. Albums can take up to 16 weeks. We do our best to keep the turnaround quick while keeping the quality high.

Can we have Black and White images too?

Of course! If you want we can deliver all images in Black & White and colour as well. We also deliver smaller images suitable for the web and e-mail.

Are our images watermarked?

No, your final images will not have any watermark.

How would you describe your style?

My style of wedding photography is possibly best described as Photo Journalistic with a hint of Creative and a splattering of Classic. If you want to know more about photographic style then please read my blog on Wedding Photography Styles

Can we get the Raw images as well?

In short, no! The Raw images (or Digital Negatives) are only seen by me. Asking for those is much like a diner asking a chef for the raw ingredients of a meal.

What about images that did not make the cut? can we have those too?

The images that did not make the cut did not make the cut for a valid reason and are not a true representation of the quality that I offer. By giving those images out I would be compromising the quality of my output. Believe me, they are better on the cutting room floor!

Will there be any more FAQs?

Coming soon!
