How i work with you

Before, during & after your wedding celebration

Before your wedding

My job starts well before the wedding when we meet over WhatsApp, a coffee or a drink and you get to tell me why you’ve chosen this human, and how you’re planning on celebrating!

I’m here to listen to your ideas, guide you in what photography package would work, help you plan a wedding timeline that’s right for you, share my wedding experiences and making sure I learn what is most important to you and your partner.

Over the weeks and months leading up to your wedding, we can arrange a pre-wedding or engagement session, have as many pre-wedding consultations as you’d like.

I’m a big fan of being organised, so you’ll have your own client portal where you can access all the emails we’ve sent, contracts, timelines and invoices. Efficiency for the win!

On the day

On the day I’m not just there to tell your story, but I’m there to do anything that needs to be done to make your day the best experience possible.

I’ll make sure that you’re running on time, that your grandmother has a chair during family photos, give you enough time to spend with your guests, help zip up your mom’s dress, bring you a drink and carry spare lipstick in my bag.

When it comes to the photography, I’m completely couple-led. If you want 2 hours of photos on your own – fine! If you would prefer just 20 minutes – you got it.

Of course the photography is crazy important to me, but I’ve shot enough weddings that I can work magic pretty much in any timeline.

After all, my goal is to make sure that your day doesn’t just look beautiful, authentic and carefree in the photos, but that it actually is.

After your wedding

The very next day you’ll get a sneak peek of about 5 – 10 images from your wedding.

Then while you settled into wedded bliss, I go through the thousands of photos from your day, sorting through the multiples, deleting ones with odd expressions and closed eyes.

Each photograph is professionally edited by me making sure it looks as good as the moment felt.

Within 4-8 weeks, I send you a link to an online gallery with all your images in both high resolution and low resolution.

You can share this gallery with all your family & friends and you can download all your images in the best possible quality with all printing included.

But if you’d like, you can arrange to print them with me and together we can design an album!

Micaela was an incredibly committed, hard-working, and talented person to work with. She gave her absolute all on the day, photographing not just the key moments well (signing the register, the rings etc) but just a plethora of special moments between us and our guests: a hand held here, a quiet embrace here: moments I'd forgotten and remembered with such joy when I saw the photos.

On the day Micaela was so wonderful, the atmosphere she brought was incredibly professional, but also felt like having another really good friend around us! The time we had as a newly married couple with Micaela captured the warm, chilled vibes of our day so perfectly, in quite a stressful environment! She is a master at organising the troops for group photos, and a magician in capturing all the moments from different angles!

She had so much creative input and together we created the most amazing engagement shoot and spectacular photos on our wedding day. She was so easy to communicate with and all the little treats she sent in the post was the ICING ON THE CAKE! I love this woman and she calmed my nerves on the wedding day and made me and my husband look wonderful. I can not recommend her highly enough - I’d get married all over again to have her shoot us again! She got so excited over our ideas and she exceeded our expectations.

Not only is she an incredible photographer but she is also a wonderful person that made us feel so completely at ease in front of the camera and made our whole experience unforgettable. Micaela has an amazing ability to capture the small and intimate moments and emotions, her style of photography really captured the essence of our wedding day. Her work is incredible and we couldn't have asked for better.

Micaela was not only an excellent photographer but so helpful on our wedding day regarding advice, when to do things and how to best achieve the day we envisioned. She also understood that I didn't want to be away for hours taking photographs and was therefore so accommodating and understanding. We love our photographs and are so grateful for Micaela's professionalism and enthusiasm on the day.

Beyond her professionalism, Micaela is unfailingly warm, kind and generous and has an amazing sense of humour. To this day, family and friends still talk about how wonderful a photographer she is and how impressed they were at how well she was able to wrangle our (let's be honest!) unruly and opinionated family in our group shots and have everyone have a great time while doing it!

Her super helpful advice before and her direction on the big day ensured that the crucial moments and more formal snaps with our most special people were captured miraculously easily (our families are enormous) and the snaps are stunning. She has an amazing ability to capture the most magical moments between you and your loved ones, without you realising she’s even present.
