Before you send.
Do you travel?+
Yes — flights and accommodation billed at cost. We've shot in Cape Verde, Morocco, Azores, Iceland, Oman and most of the West African coast.
How many images do we receive?+
Weddings: 400-600 edited images plus a short film. Editorial and proposals: 60-120 edited images. All in a private online gallery for a year.
What equipment do you use underwater?+
Nauticam housings on Sony full-frame, with backup film camera for shallow work. All freediving — no scuba — to keep the water quiet.
What about bad weather?+
We build a weather window into every shoot and reschedule at no cost if the water isn't safe. Storm light makes some of the best frames.
Do you offer payment plans?+
Yes — 30% deposit to hold the date, 40% one month before, balance on delivery of the gallery.
