Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Where are you based?
I live in beautiful Pirongia!. I’m originally from Constitucion, Chile and moved over in 2007 to New Zealand.
Do you shoot destination weddings?
Definitely. I love travel and I’ll take photos anywhere in NZ and overseas.
Can we meet before booking?
Of course! I would love to get to know you, hear more about your wedding plans, and also give you the opportunity to get to know me a little more too! For couples based in the Hamilton area, we generally met at a cafe over a cup of coffee/tea. For those outside of Hamilton, we generally make a time to skype, and chat this way.
