Along with our years of experience, we're sure to use only the highest quality equipment and techniques to create a stunning, artistic gallery that will leave you breathless. This is what you're investing in.
So if you are looking for a wedding duo who is dedicated to capturing your love story in the most beautiful and memorable way possible, then look no further.
YOU are HERE because You FOUND the One you LOVE.
+ PRE-WEDDING CONSULTATION
Whether we do it over Zoom or at your favourite coffee hub, I'd love to meet you!
+ AN EXTENSIVE WEDDING GUIDE
To give you an idea of what you can expect from me on the day, as well as some planning advice to ensure you get the most out of your photos and film!
+ 9 - 10 HOURS OF COVERAGE
I don't believe in trying to cram everything into a six-hour session. I'd rather make sure I'm there to capture all your most important moments without making you feel rushed.
+ HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES
These are perfect for printing - albums or canvasses for your home. I always recommend getting your photos printed!
+ LOW RESOLUTION IMAGES
All you need for sharing these images on your socials.
+ BEAUTIFULLY PACKAGED USB
To keep your photos and/or video safe. I also include a few prints in your keepsake box - I'm serious about prints!
WEDDING PACKAGES
All of my WEDDING PACKAGES include:
+ ONE PHOTOGRAPHER
You'll only need one person to document the day - no need for a second shooter
+ MINIMUM OF THREE HOURS
You'll want to get a few getting ready shots, just to start telling the story of this very special day - even more special if you and your other half get ready together. Then you'll want the ceremony, a few shots of you and the handful of guests you wanted there, and then a whole bunch of couples portraits with an incredible backdrop! And then perhaps the little dinner or lunch you organised with your nearest and dearest. You never want to feel rushed.
+ CONSIDER A VIDEOGRAPHER
You're saving on a lot if you elope - I would strongly suggest getting all the good stuff on video! Lucky we do video too, right?
ELOPEMENTS
Elopements are such unique things (just like my couples) - there really isn't a one size fits all approach. However I would suggest:
+ 30 - 90 MINUTES SHOOTING TIME
Depending on whether we're going on a full blown date, or just a quick stroll on the beach.
+ HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES
Again - I am a huge advocate for getting these photos printed. Even if it means you want to use them for your wedding invites, or to put up on a wall in your new home together!
+ LOW RESOLUTION IMAGES
Who wouldn't want to share these on their socials?
+ PRIVATE ONLINE GALLERY
You will have lifetime access to this gallery, and you get to share it with your nearest and dearest.
A FEW ADD ONS INCLUDE:
+ More than one location as well as outfit changes.
+ A beautiful little 30 second reel, just to take the emotions up a notch when you relive the session.
+ Perhaps you would like a few film scans - for nostalgia's sake.
ENGAGEMENTS
All of my ENGAGEMENT / COUPLES packages include:
videography packages
Movement evokes emotion in a way that a photograph simply cannot. A video captures the way the bride's dress sways as she walks down the aisle, the groom's smile as he catches his first glimpse of his bride, and the way their hands clasp together during the vows. These little moments of movement and emotion are what make your wedding day truly special and unique to you as a couple.
Having a wedding video allows you to relive these moments over and over again. It allows you to hear the sound of your vows, the laughter of your friends and family, and the music that filled the air during your first dance. You'll get to giggle at your Aunty Sandra living it up on the dance floor, and you'll get to wipe away a tear while hearing your dad's speech all over again - as if you were there.
My beautiful humans, these memories are too precious to let them slip through your fingers. It only happens once. Make sure you capture it in the most beautiful way possible!

GET IN TOUCH
Really want us to capture your day? Send an email to hello@idairvine.co.za and I'll reply within 24-48 hours with our complete pricing guide and more info.
"WHERE DO I SIGN?"
Once you've realised we're the perfect match, I will send you a link with info about your booking fee, as well as the contract. Once the contract has been signed and I received your POP, we're good to go!
PRE-WEDDING CHECK IN*
This is where we get together about a month before the wedding to talk about the logistics surrounding the day, such as timelines, shots you'd like, what you're looking forward to most, where you will be getting ready, etc.
LET'S MEET UP*
I love getting to know my couples better before we shoot the big day. So whether it's a coffee date, or even better, an engagement shoot, I want to spend time with you so we're not strangers on the day of the wedding.
IRONING OUT THE DEETS*
About a week or two before the wedding, I'll check in to talk about the final amount that's due around this time, as well as all the little details you'd like to talk about surrounding the day.
SHOOTING DAY!
We'll show up bright and early (for weddings, we usually arrive about 30 minutes before our actual start time) just to pop in and say hi! And we take the day as it comes, capturing all your beautiful moments, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere where you can rest assured we've got you covered.
SNEEK PREVIEWS INCOMING!
I'm usually so excited to start working on your images, that I'll send a sneak peek (basically an overview of the shoot/day) about 48hours - 1 week after the wedding (depending on whether we're traveling etc). By this time your images have been backed up in several places, including on the cloud.
DELIVERY DAY!
My turnaround time for wedding images is about 12 weeks (max) and 3 weeks for lifestyle sessions. A little while after you've received your full wedding gallery, you'll receive a beautifully packaged USB with your photos &/or film. This is where you have to make sure to back it all up!
