FAQ’s

Are you a professional photographer?

Yes, it is my one and only job and generates 100% of my business income. I am a member of the AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photographers). I am a registered business (Sole Trader trading as Hobart Wedding Photographer) and my ABN is 48 617 498 637

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes, I have public liability insurance. Policy number and details can be provided if required.

Are you registered to work with children?

Yes, I am registered to work with vulnerable people in Tasmania and Victoria which means children under the age of 18. Registration to work with vulnerable people as a photographer is mandatory in Victoria & Tasmania.

Do you travel to other locations?

Yes, I cover all of Tasmania and Victoria and will travel interstate if required.

Can I choose more than one location for my wedding photography?

Yes, we are more than happy to go to a number of locations depending on the time available.

Do you mind if family or friends take their own photos at my wedding?

No, I do not mind at all. It is becoming more common for guests to use tablets and phones held up during the ceremony and often standing in the aisle during the Bride arrival. People using cameras with flash can also affect the photographer from getting those all important shots. This is your call but remember that other non-professional photographers may affect the photos that you receive by getting between us and you the client. Perhaps you could ask your guests to enjoy the ceremony and pull out the iPad/phones after the ceremony has finished and offer to share your photo gallery with them when your photos are completed.

Is there any advantage to having a second photographer and can you provide one?

Yes, I can provide a second photographer for you. The biggest advantage is to get more candid shots, particularly during the ceremony and also while the lead photographer is working with you. You will get better coverage and more photos by using a second photographer which we can provide.

When can I expect to see my wedding images?

Your images will usually receive your wedding images about 5 – 7 weeks from your big day and it may take longer if you have ordered a wedding album. You will have your own online gallery that is password-protected for you to share with family and friends if you wish and where you can order lab quality prints online. This is particularly useful for those people who may not have been able to attend your wedding or live interstate. Read more …….

What is RAW and do you shoot in it?

RAW files are unprocessed data from an image sensor of a digital camera. This image is later transformed by the photographer on their computer by using special post-processing software. All modern professionals and most pro-consumer DSLRs can shoot in RAW and yes I always shoot in RAW.

What kind of equipment do you use?

I have 4 camera kits and use Nikon D850, D810 and x 2 D500 professional DSLRs with a combination of prime and zoom lenses and other professional equipment. All the cameras that I use have dual memory cards used in a backup configuration so each camera will have two copies of your wedding photos in case one card fails. I only use premium quality SanDisk memory cards to minimise any data loss.

How much time should we allocate for wedding photography on the day?

As a wedding photographer, I like as much time as I can get. You should allow a minimum of an hour and a half for all family, formal and Bride and Groom photos but this can depend on how many family and friends formal shots that you would like. For remote locations, shooting allows extra traveling time and shooting time.

When is the best time to do an outdoor wedding or portrait photography?

The bests times for photography are usually just after sunrise or before sunset. We can photograph at any time of the day but it is harder several hours either side of midday as the light is at it’s harshest and you will tend to squint a lot if in full sun.

Do you offer wedding albums?

A wedding album is the best way to present your wedding and will last a lifetime. We offer a wide range of wedding albums and options from quality suppliers. We can also supply quality photo books and canvas prints with up to a 75-year warranty.

Do you do interstate weddings?

Yes, I can travel interstate to photograph a wedding.

How far in advance do I need to book?

You can book as early as you like. I operate on a “first in” basis. A deposit will need to be paid to confirm a booking.

 

 

 

 

 


 

What others are saying

  "Sarah did our wedding photographs in Feb 2018 and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She was friendly, professional and an excellent photographer! The photos were ready for us promptly and I just can't stop looking at them. I never thought I could look so good in photos!"

Isobel & Bill - Stonefield 

  "Adrian & I loved the style of your photographs. There were a number of photographers that we looked at but none of their photographs matched Sarah's. Adrian & I could not be happier. We have beautiful photographs that will take pride on our wall."

Ashleigh & Adrian - Colebrook

“We highly recommend Sarah to any couple looking for a wedding photographer. Our photos are absolutely stunning and truly capture the emotion of our special day. Sarah was great to work with before, during and after our wedding and was very open with communication in the album design process. Our album is of such high quality and exactly what we were hoping for. Sarah sent our album in gorgeous packaging and included some lovely keepsakes which made everything feel extra special. We cannot thank you enough Sarah for going above and beyond to capture such beautiful memories that will last us a lifetime.”

Amanda & Matthew - Frogmore Creek

  "Can't make a single criticism - our photos were natural and in the moment and the company of both photographers was greatly appreciated."

Olivia & Trent - Home Hill Winery

"Sarah was impeccable at making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and in understanding us as a couple. On our day she was perfect and blended into the background capturing beautiful moments. She has an amazing ability to identify various spots for that "perfect wedding portrait". All of our wedding guests were incredibly complimentary about how kind and respectful Sarah was and how she allowed them to enjoy the day without interruption. We will be highly recommending Sarah to anyone who will listen! She provided us with beautiful photos, beautiful words and an unforgettable experience ❤️"

Rebecca & Brett - Valleyfield

"Sarah was who we thought we'd have on our day and we were pretty excited about this after our engagement photo session but we got very lucky and the amazing Tony & Isabelle came along too and were beyond amazing, we couldn't have been happier with how comfortable, kind and patient they were. Absolutely nothing was an issue and they felt like part of the family they fitted in with us so well, even our guests commented on how polite, kind and professional they were. We highly recommend Sarah Eliza Photography and cannot thank them enough for the amazing photos and fun day and night we had with them  xoxo"

Nicole & Richard - Willie Smith Apple Shed

  "Thank you Sarah for capturing our wedding day so perfectly! All of the photos are amazing. You made us all feel very comfortable on the day and the locations you choose for the photos were spot on."

Katie & Mark - Avalon

"Sarah captured our wedding day just perfectly! She is very approachable and professional, could not recommend her higher. You will have everyone complimenting on your photos for months to come. If you're after the perfect wedding photographer to capture memories to last a life time, get in contact with Sarah, you will not be disappointed."

Jenna & Brendan - Rydges Hotel

"Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. Ricky and I both were so happy with all your help leading up to the wedding and on the day. You provided us with all the support and information that we needed prior to the wedding and we were so happy that you included a pre-wedding shoot to help us relax into the photos for the day of the wedding. On the day you captured everything that we wanted and more. We love all of our photos and everyone who has seen them praises your work and how fantastic they look. We are so happy that you were the one in charge of capturing our memories and helping us relive them each time we look at the images."

Jade & Ricky - Beaches / Wyndham Resort

"Thank you for sending that shot through - it is simply amazing, although I may be biased here, I feel it is one of the best wedding photographs I have seen, the lighting, the colouring, the symmetry - everything in that picture is perfect. It was a real pleasure having you as our photographers, and we are so glad to have found you. We felt at ease with you from the first time we met you all those months ago, and we found it very easy to work with you, and to understand what you were asking us to do to get the shots right. It's easy to tell from the way you work that you are truly a professional, with a real passion for what you do. We noticed after you had left the reception, that 2 smiley happy people had disappeared from our wedding, and we would have loved for you to have been there all night. We can't wait to see the rest of the pictures when you have finished them."

Allan - Josef Chromy

Thank you Sarah for the friendly, professional way you provided us with the gorgeous portrait of one of our College Emerita for whom we are naming one of our buildings. You certainly put the subject at ease and captured the real essence of the person. I have no hesitation in recommending you to work colleagues, family and friends.
  "What can we say other than exceptional! Sarah is a lovely person and talented photographer who produced gorgeous images of our special day. Sarah went above and beyond fitting in with what we wanted out of the day - casual, relaxed, fun, family oriented - and made both us and the children feel at ease. We have so many beautiful photos to remember our wedding with. Thank you!"

Brigitte & Brent - Stewarts Bay Lodge

The photos captured the beautiful moments from our wedding day perfectly! Sarah was wonderful to work with. She made us feel so relaxed on our wedding day! We especially love the photos with our families, the photos of us two sharing special moments together and the fun photos of us and our beautiful guests having a ball on the dance floor! Sarah was even able to get memories that we didn’t even notice she was snapping away in the background. We highly recommend Sarah and we are so happy with our beautiful photos!"

Talise & Bradley - Royal Yacht Club

"Those photos are unbelievable! Thank you so much. Bec and I both just want to thank you so much for what you did on Saturday night! You were so easy, cool and calm to work with, and if those photos are anything to go by, you have perfectly captured our special day.  Bec and I were chatting on Sunday morning, and we both felt that getting our photos taken after the ceremony (out in the field) was a highlight of the night for us.  We had so much fun and you really made us feel comfortable and so, so happy. Also, send Isabel our thanks too. She was a little sweetheart, and so lovely and enthusiastic to work with. Even when she was throwing flower petals in my face.  She was a great little photographer  We can't wait to see the rest of the photos.  Thanks again for everything and we hope you had an enjoyable Saturday night too!  We had a blast!"

Rebecca & David - Willie Smith Apple Shed

Sue & Alan - Riversdale Estate

"That photo is absolutely amazing. We love it so so much and so did everyone else we have shown. It is such a fantastic shot, most of the reactions from ppl was 'wow' haha. It's a shot for the wall that's for sure. I just wanted to say thank you again for everything. You guys were absolutely fantastic, we definitely made the right choice. You guys pay so much attention to detail, really know what you are doing and made all of us feel so comfortable. We had a number of comments during the night about just how lovely you both were and how good at your job you seemed. You went above and beyond, even wiping gravel from my feet hahaha. It was great and we really appreciate you taking the time to come to Launceston for us. Couldn't have asked for any better."
