Your date is secured only after the booking steps in your current proposal are complete. This normally includes a signed photography agreement and the stated booking payment. An enquiry alone does not reserve a date.
Refund and cancellation terms are set out in the current photography agreement because reserving a date means other work may be declined. Read those clauses before paying and ask about anything that is unclear.
The current invoice or proposal lists the accepted payment methods, currency, due dates, and any payment charges that apply. Use those written details rather than older information elsewhere online.
Yes. Depending on location and availability, this can be an in-person coffee or a video conversation. It is a useful chance to discuss the day, ask questions, and make sure the fit feels right.
Date changes are handled under the current agreement and depend on Sharyn’s availability. Ask as early as possible. A change may be treated as a new booking, so never assume the original payment automatically transfers.
Yes. References help explain what you value, especially important people, details, or family combinations. They are a starting point rather than a promise to recreate another photograph, since light, weather, location, and people are never identical.
A second photographer can be recommended or added when the logistics, guest count, or simultaneous moments make one useful. Inclusion, hours, travel, and the current fee must be confirmed in the proposal.
The final number depends on coverage length, the pace of the day, the number of events, and the story that unfolds. Use the current collection description and agreement for any minimum or estimated delivery.
Extra coverage may be possible, subject to availability and the current overtime rate. If you already expect a later finish, arrange it in advance so travel, accommodation, and the timeline can be planned properly.
For coverage that spans a meal period, a suitable vendor meal helps Sharyn and any confirmed team member stay focused and ready for the next part of the day. Confirm current dietary requirements before finalising catering.
A simple table and chair with a useful view of the room works well. Serving the photography team while guests eat means cameras are ready again when speeches, dancing, or other moments begin.
Yes. Sharyn photographs weddings and elopements across South Africa and internationally, with particular destination experience in Iceland. Availability, travel days, and local requirements are confirmed for each booking.
The current proposal should itemise the travel assumptions for your location. Depending on the celebration, this may include distance, flights, transfers, car hire, baggage, permits, or other necessary costs.
Accommodation may be required for distant locations, early starts, late finishes, or destination coverage. The number of nights and suitable area should be agreed before booking.
Yes. Location ideas, travel timing, available light, privacy, access, weather, and realistic transitions can all shape the plan. The final decisions remain collaborative and should suit the experience you want.
Finished photographs are delivered as edited JPEG files in the resolution and delivery method stated in the current collection or agreement. RAW camera files are not the finished product.
Use the turnaround period written in your current agreement. Editing time changes with season and collection size, and any preview schedule should also be confirmed there rather than assumed from an older webpage.
Sharyn selects and edits the strongest photographs to match the documentary, emotive style shown in the current portfolio. The approach favours honest people and atmosphere rather than heavy body alteration or novelty effects.
RAW files are working files and are not normally delivered. The finished gallery represents Sharyn’s selection, colour work, and complete photographic interpretation.
The current workflow uses in-camera redundancy and additional backups after coverage. Ask Sharyn to explain the active process if data handling or gallery retention is important to your planning.
Album design begins after the finished gallery is available. Current album sizes, materials, included revisions, production times, delivery, and additional change fees should be confirmed in the active album guide.
