Caring and discreet professional funeral photography

How I work with families
I never outsource photography so you are assured of professional funeral photography backed by years of experience.
Before The Funeral
A key family member, or the funeral home, contacts me.
I find out what the family requires ( funeral service, viewing, the committal, the wake).
I then suggest a suitable funeral photography package.
The family representative then completes the Order form.
I don’t require payment in advance as I feel families have enough on their minds.
During the Funeral
I meet the family representative briefly prior to the funeral service and confirm what will be photographed.
I then photograph the funeral discretely and unobtrusively.
If I am photographing in a church, I ask for the priest’s approval and confirm I won’t use flash photography or move around.
If I feel it is appropriate, at the wake I suggest the family might like some organised group photos.
After The Funeral
Within two business days of the funeral, in a private area on my website, selected photos (usually around 200 to 300) are published. This allows the family to share the funeral with family and friends and also those who were unable to attend the funeral in person (e.g. family overseas).
When the family is ready, I then design the Keepsake Book (available in Deluxe Package). Often the family provide tributes and eulogies and come to my garden studio to select photos and discuss what they would like in their book.
