FAQ

How long will it take to receive my images?

Each image is meticulously edited by an ancient photography sensei (me), using a colour correcting technique long thought to be lost to the ages (Photoshop). I’ll get them to you as soon as humanly possible, but typically you’ll get sneak peeks within 3-5 days, and the rest will be within 4-6 weeks.

How much do you cost?

There are many packages to choose from, depending on how much coverage you’re after, and whether you’d like high-res images, prints, and/or an album. Packages start at $3000, and go up from there. I can also tailor packages to suit the budget and scale of your wedding. Elopement packages are also available upon request.

Will we receive all of our images on USB?

With every package, you have the option of high-res images on USB, prints, album, or all of the above. But no matter which way you go, you’ll receive every beautifully edited image at perfect resolution for your screen, for use on social media and emailing to friends and family.

Jack was an incredible photographer. There was not one thing I would fault him on. I knew Jack many years ago (at least 15) and even though I hadn't seen him in probably 10 years, he treated me as a good friend. He didn't just treat me like that though - EVERYONE who came in contact with him had something great to say. Jack helped me with my run sheet/list of 'must have' photos and made sure I was happy with them all. He also made sure I took breaks so I wasn't just completely overwhelmed with all the family shots I 'had' to get. He was invaluable at helping me decide on the day which photos were absolutely necessary to me. I was so happy with Jack floating around and know there will be some amazing candid shots - but the ones he set up are also incredible (from what I've seen). He has such a great eye for amazing shots. I absolutely cannot wait to see them when they're finished. Jack is incredibly friendly and made everyone he came in contact with feel completely at ease. He has a laugh while being professional when on the clock. Not only do I know he's a fantastic person having known him so long, but I know he is also that way to people he hasn't met. He is funny and friendly, and makes you feel at ease. I cannot recommend Jack at Don't Say. Cheese enough, all you need to do is look at his portfolio to see he has a great flare for capturing some interesting and different shots. He scouted the location for the shots away from the venue and planned an easy path through the gardens that we were photographed in, so it was very streamlined as to where we went and no time was wasted as we chased the sun. You do not need to look further than Jack for your photography needs. He will make the day, and your photos, special.

Hard to know even where to begin, Jack absolutely made our day in so many ways and majority of the moments captured that we treasure the most were because of his innate creativity, careful consideration and kind hearted humour bringing out the best in us , our friends and our family. As someone who is quite uncomfortable in front of a camera I was nervous but Jack was so easy to chat to about it ahead of time and to be honest on the day I actually didn't even give it a second thought as we were having so much fun being guided by him! Would Recommend!

I am considering wedding content creation services, what do you think of this investment?

Hi there, I am considering hiring a wedding content creation and capture service like @SocialSnapshots, however am unsure as to how i could work this into my budget. I already have a photographer but I'm looking for more behind the scenes content, capturing the details of my day. I am moving states to be with my partner so I'll know there will be plenty of emotions that the photographer wont accurately capture. What do you think of this sort of new service?

Don't Say Cheese

Hi, thanks so much for your inquiry! If you already have a photographer booked, it might be worth asking if they have a second shooter. If they do, you can request tht the second shooter focus more on candid shots throughout the day, as it's important to you. If the photographer is working alone, then an extra shooter on the day can be a great idea, as long as they don't encroach on the job of the official photographer. If you're clear from the outset that their role is to capture more candid and auxillary shots that the official photographer might miss, you'll get heaps of great stuff.

At the end of the day, the more people capturing your wedding the better, it just comes down to your budget.

I hope that helps! Jack
