Why Choose Samuel Parke Photography?
I work off 3 core principles - Fun, Quality and Value.
I really believe my passion for photography makes myself a photographer that can make your wedding day a fun experience for not only you but your wedding party and guests. I aim to make the happiest day of your life just that bit happier!
I keep myself and my work to a very high standard. This comes from the belief that if I wouldnt be happy with my work why would I present it to my clients! This is shown through not only my images but through my customer service.
And finally, Value. Weddings already cost so much so I do my best to be able to give you the best value-for-money product. You shouldn’t have to compromise on quality to be able to afford a great wedding photographer!
Can we meet with you to discuss our wedding?
Absolutely! In fact I encourage it, I often try to meet at a location local and convenient to you - this might be your house, your local café or even a park with your kids. This gives you a chance to meet with myself and raise any questions or concerns and make sure I am the wedding photographer for you!
Do you bring a second photographer or assistant?
Capturing your wedding day with a second photographer is my preference as it adds a variety of images and different angles of your special moments. This is an added cost but the investment is worth every penny!
Can you assist us with our wedding timeline?
Of course! A personalised photography timeline is included in all our packages. This is all just part of the service!
“I did really like the level of involvement you had in the schedule, it was just enough to help give us some needed direction but not too much that we felt railroaded.” - Jonas
Who will be the actual photographer on the day?
Samuel Parke will be the primary photographer on your wedding day.
Can you do a custom tailored wedding package for us?
Yes, many of my couples end up with a custom package to make sure we can find a coverage that best suits your individual’s needs.
How will I receive my wedding album?
You will receive an online gallery that will store your images for 1 year. During this time you may use this link to download, print and share your wedding photos. You can even send the link to friends and family all across the world!
Do you require a deposit and what percentage of the package?
I require a deposit of 25% when booking to lock in your date, this is paid in conjunction with signing a contract for my services.
How long will it take to receive my photos?
As soon as your wedding day is finished I get to work on editing your photos. This is why I can commit to a 1-2 week turnaround on your online gallery which is much faster than industry standard. This often means you are able to look through it together whilst on your honeymoon. If you purchase a physical album or canvases however this can sometimes take longer depending on how busy the printing shop is!
Do you cover weddings outside of the SEQ region?
Yep! I am based in the SEQ region however I am more than happy to cover your wedding day if it is interstate or overseas.
Are the images we receive watermarked? Are they retouched?
Your final gallery has all your fully edited images WITHOUT watermarks. Basic retouching is done to all images in your gallery. This includes: cropping, colour and tone adjustment and applications of creative effects.
