Need a little help<br />
organising your wedding<br />
photography? Look<br />
no further! We ask<br />
multi award-winning<br />
photographer, Haleana<br />
Knights...<br />
Q: How do you make<br />
sure you meet a couple’s<br />
requirements?<br />
A: I always try and meet<br />
my couples before hand<br />
so that I can get to know<br />
what they like and dislike,<br />
what their vision of the day<br />
looks like and how they feel<br />
in front of the camera. I<br />
then encourage the couple<br />
to contact me as many<br />
times as they need to. We<br />
also meet again before<br />
the big day to firm up the<br />
itinerary details and tie up<br />
any loose ends. Some of the<br />
best weddings I have ever<br />
shot, have been as a result<br />
of open communications<br />
between me and the couple<br />
getting married. I love it<br />
when they feel inspired by<br />
our chats and are invested in<br />
getting the best shots of their<br />
day as possible.<br />
Q: How would you describe<br />
your style? Do you prefer<br />
candid or more traditional<br />
photos?<br />
A: I love them both for<br />
different reasons! I absolutely<br />
love disappearing into the<br />
background and capturing<br />
the moments as they happen,<br />
whether it’s the father’s<br />
reaction to his daughter in her<br />
wedding dress or the tears of<br />
laughter during the best man’s<br />
speech. Having said that, a<br />
majority of my couples ask<br />
for the group shots because<br />
they know that their parents or<br />
grandparents will love having<br />
these for the mantelpiece.<br />
My favourite part of the day<br />
is the stylised session where<br />
I steal the newlyweds away<br />
for a while to get some really<br />
beautiful pictures of them<br />
alone, together. If a couple tell<br />
me that they want an entirely<br />
documentary-style wedding<br />
with absolutely no posed<br />
photos, then that is what I will<br />
deliver and if a couple ask for<br />
mainly candid photography<br />
with a few traditional elements<br />
thrown in, I will deliver that<br />
too. So in a nutshell, I would<br />
say that I offer something<br />
in the middle, with a little<br />
flexibility thrown in.<br />
Q: Finally, what are your top<br />
tips for couple’s choosing a<br />
wedding photographer?<br />
A: Ask to see a selection of<br />
images throughout the day.<br />
It’s really important to see<br />
whether the photographer<br />
you’re interested in can<br />
handle all the different light<br />
situations. I’d also be sure that<br />
they are operating have the<br />
proper insurances, contracts<br />
and all the appropriate gear<br />
and equipment for your<br />
day. And last, but not least,<br />
make sure you meet your<br />
photographer face to face<br />
before booking and be sure<br />
that you get along! They will<br />
be shadowing you on one of<br />
the most important days of<br />
your life after all!<br />
