Are you available on our wedding date? How early should we book you?To check my availability, simply share your wedding date and location with me My email is picturedbylucie@gmail.com I’ll get back to you as soon as possible to confirm availability. If I’m free on your date, we can go ahead and secure your booking with a deposit and a contract. Please note: My pricing is reviewed each financial year, so booking early is the best way to lock in current rates and avoid future price increases.
-
Where are you located and do you travel?I'm based in Forest Lake, Hamilton (in the Waikato). I can definitely travel for your big day! Free within Hamilton. A small mileage charge apply for areas beyond Hamilton ($1 per km travelled).
-
Can we customise our Wedding Photography Package to fit our needs?Absolutely! Each wedding is unique, so I offer custom quotes and add-ons to perfectly fit your special day. The packages listed are just starting points, and I’m happy to provide additional hours or services at a custom rate. Feel free to reach out about tailoring any package to meet your needs.
-
Do you offer payment options? When is the final payment due?Yes. You can choose to make several or monthly payments leading up to your wedding, which helps spread out the cost. The final payment is due 21 days before your big day. To secure your date, a non-refundable 25% retainer is required. This works as a fee for holding the date, and serves as liquidated damages in the event of client cancellation (whereby no one else could book my services). All payments are via bank deposit.
-
When will we receive our Wedding Photos and how will they be delivered?After your wedding, sharing those special moments with your family and friends is a wonderful way to continue celebrating your day. I aim to provide you with sneak peeks within 3 days. Then you'll receive the full gallery within 3 to 5 weeks. Once your photos are edited, they will be uploaded to an online gallery for easy sharing, viewing and downloading. If you prefer, you can opt to receive them solely through online transfer. Each package guarantees a minimum number of edited photos, but you may receive more. There are always extra moments I wouldn’t want you to miss!
-
What can we expect from our Pre-Wedding Planning with you?Complimentary Call: Let’s connect to ensure we’re a great fit. Share your plans and dates, and feel free to ask any questions during our chat. This no-obligation call is the perfect chance to see if we align.

-
Where can we see examples of your Wedding Photography and what's your style?You can explore my Wedding Photography here, featuring a diverse range of weddings with various atmospheres and weather conditions. I love capturing candid moments and documenting the day as it unfolds naturally, minimising posed shots. My approach is to allow genuine emotions and interactions to shine through. Of course, I’m always here to offer gentle guidance when needed, ensuring that your special moments are beautifully captured while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable. I focus on enhancing the emotions of each moment, while balancing vibrant colours with soft tones. My goal is to create images that feel genuine and intimate, capturing the true essence of your special day.
-
What is your cancellation policy?If you need to cancel or reschedule your booking, please let me know as soon as possible. I understand that plans can change, and I’ll do my best to accommodate rescheduling based on my availability. The initial retainer is non-refundable, as it works as a fee for holding the date, and serves as liquidated damages in the event of client cancellation (whereby no one else could book my services). You might also be concerned about what happens if I’m unable to shoot your wedding due to an emergency. While it’s highly unlikely, if unforeseen circumstances prevent me from being there, I will do my utmost to secure a replacement photographer to capture your day. In the rare event that a replacement cannot be arranged, all payments made, including your retainer, will be fully refunded.
-
Do you work with second photographers and assistants?Yes, I do! For large weddings, or where additional coverage is needed, I can bring along a second shooter or an assistant. This ensures we capture every angle and all the special moments of your day. If you're interested in adding a second photographer or assistant, just let me know, and we can discuss the add-on options available.
-

This 30 min Outdoor Portrait Session is complimentary and optional! You'll receive 10 beautifully edited digital images, access to an online gallery where you can select your favourite photos, share and download. Here’s what you can expect: Comfort in front of the camera – This session is the perfect opportunity to get comfortable before the big day. I’ll guide you with natural prompts to help you feel at ease, so you can be yourselves in front of the lens.
