Frequently Asked Questions

We have been doing this for a while now and over the years we have learned a thing or two about getting married in Fiji so we have gathered all the most frequently asked questions we have gotten as well as some of the advice especially with getting married in the tropics and have added them here in one place for your convenience.

 

What does digital processing of the photos include?

Processing includes colour correction, exposure correction, re-framing and light touch-up when required.


Can i have the raw files?

No, we do not release our RAW files.


How many photos do you take?

Usually between 50 to 70 photos per hour depending on the number of guests, lighting and weather conditions and other conditions of your day. We work by the principal Quality over Quantity.


When is the best time to have the ceremony?

Your wedding planner will help you decide on the most appropriate time for the service but between 1.5 to 3 hours before sunset will give you the best light and leave enough time afterwards for your photos. Generally with larger weddings we need more time between ceremony & sunset and we are happy to help you with a timeline. Ask your wedding planner about tides as at many resorts, a low tide will leave parts of the reef uncovered.


How long does the ceremony take?

Unless you have made changes to the order of service most resort ceremonies will take between 20 to 30 minutes.


What are the permissions around image use?

We will provide your images print and album-ready - edited and in high resolution ready for all your personal needs and uses. Should you wish to share the images with a commercial third party for their use, example: your wedding dress designer, makeup artist, website, blog and the like, please note that we retain copyright and require written permission sought prior and photo credit mention.


How many photographers will there be?

Laurence prefers to and usually works alone and will sometimes have an assistant with him. We do have access to second shooters if and when needed.


Do you include prints in your packages?

No not as part of our current packages however we do provide access to a professional print store through your Gallery shop through which you can choose and order prints and canvases, or print through any other outlet of your choice however we only recommend pro print labs.


How do we receive our finished photos?

Once your completed photos have been uploaded to your personalised Gallery, we will email you a link to access along with a password and download PIN code. Here you can easily view, share and download your images, watch a slide show and purchase prints, canvases and other products. Please ensure to make several soft copies of your photographs and keep them in a few different locations incase you loose them, theft or fire.
