Before your wedding

Before you book we can schedule an e-meeting for you to get to know us and for us to get to know all you’re dreaming up.

If you decide to book we will have another meeting or call a few weeks before the wedding date, to go through the timeline and confirm all the details for the day. We will make some decisions, like location for photos and can work together on a list of family members you would like photos with, so that everything runs without stress on the day. You can also email, text or call us at any stage if you have any questions or would like any suggestions. 

An engagement session will be scheduled sometime before the wedding, if included in your package.  This without a doubt, benefits both – us and you – the wedding couple. Why? This session allows us to get to know each other even better and get you even more comfortable in front of our cameras so on your wedding day you know what to expect and everything will flow with ease. It’s also an opportunity to take the time just for the two of you to celebrate this amazing time in your lives and the love between you.

On your wedding day

Coverage begins 2 or 3 hours before the ceremony. Initially we will photograph all the details – shoes, rings, flowers, stationary – and then while you are getting ready, we will move between completely documentary photography with an fine art touch, to very occasional direction to get the best angles and light.

At the wedding ceremony our approach is totally unobtrusive. We respect the natural flow of the wedding and we are usually out of sight, so that you and your guests so that you can enjoy all the moments.

Next, based on our experience we suggest that we do the family photos and bridal party photos. We will decide on location for these photographs prior the wedding. During these sessions we will ensure everyone is looking and feeling their best, aiming for natural interaction.

We can then take some time to do your couples photos or you can go straight to reception to enjoy time with your family and guests. There’s usually a 20min window until your guests are ready to welcome you for dinner, so we can do some couples portraits then. This part is also captured very naturally and you will feel very comfortable in front of our lenses. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy some quality time with each other on your wedding day.

Depending on the coverage chosen, we will stay until you sit for dinner or until after the first few dances. No matter what coverage you choose, we will preserve your story with heart, love and meaning!

After your wedding

Shortly after your wedding we will send you a preview gallery with some of our favourite photos so that you can share them with friends and family or post on social media!

Then we individually edit every single image to the highest standard. No photoshop is involved at this stage but this process takes quite some time and we do not rush it. These are the photos you will treasure forever after all! 

If you book wedding videography, the link to your wedding trailer will be sent to you up to 4 weeks after your wedding. Your wedding film will take longer to edit. Please allow 4 to 6 months as this process is labour intensive.

Your USB will be ready for collection around 8 to 12 weeks from your wedding date.

Once we receive your choice of photos for the wedding album we will put together a beautiful layout so that you can approve before we send it for printing. Albums will be ready for collection around 8 weeks after your layout is approved and sent for printing.

Delivery of your USB and album can also be arranged.

We felt like we struck gold when we had Emmylie and Richie as our wedding photographer and videographer. They are the perfect duo and work extremely well together. They have an amazing eye for light and detail not to mention capturing the most precious moments on the day. It is such a hard decision to make; who to pick as your wedding photographer and videographer. Thankfully we were highly recommended Emmylie and Richie and we in turn highly recommend them to you.

We couldn't have been happier having Emmylie and Richie document our special day. From the minute they arrived they put us completely at ease. We wanted relaxed shots which they delivered in abundance and our video was incredible as neither of us knew what the other had said until we got it. With the after wedding blues it was the most amazing pick me up and is something we will cherish forever. We couldn't recommend them highly enough and if we could do it all again having Wonder & Magic would be a no brainer for us.
