Photography is my passion, and having a creative soul is something I am so thankful for. I truly believe that there is beauty in every thing, and every moment. It would be an honour to serve you, and capture your next milestone, special moment or event so that you can relive the moments through photographs.

FAQ's

How can I book a session?

1) Get in touch!
Send me an email by inquiring through my website, or emailing me directly at hello@chanteldirksenphotography.com

You will receive a response from me within 24-28 hours. Please ensure to include your wedding date, and if I am available

2) Let's chat!
I love getting to know the couples I get to work with and serve. Arranging a time to meet via FaceTime or in person for your favourite hot drink (my treat) is a great way for us to get to know each other, and for me to hear more about your day. Together we can work through a rough timeline of your day, to determine which photography package is best for you.

3) Let's make it official!
After determining the package that best suits the vision for your photography needs on your big day, you will receive a contract from me, along with instructions on retainer fee - without a retainer, your wedding date is not booked. Once I receive a signed contract and retainer, you are booked!

How many images will I receive?

I promise to deliver at least 50-75 images per hour of service. I strive to deliver quality over quantity, meaning you can expect to see a variety of high quality images delivered in your gallery: mainly colour images, with a handful of black and white images sprinkled in as well. You may see variations of the same pose, but not duplicates of the same pose over and over.

Do you offer posing guidance?

Absolutely! I have a series of guided poses and prompts I use for weddings, engagements and family sessions. I am happy to provide direction on posing but also like to allow for natural, candid moments to unfold throughout our session together. Walking shots, or incorporating guided movement is a great way to get anyone camera shy a break from looking directly at the camera.

Do I have to order prints through you?

You can order prints through me for an additional fee. All clients, are given full printing rights. I will happily offer suggestions for great printing sources if you choose to not order prints through me. If you are investing in photography, invest in high quality prints: definitely do not use Walmart for printing your images.

How long does it take to receive my completed gallery?

Turn around time for weddings in prime wedding season is 6-8 weeks, with previews delivered within 24 hours of your wedding.

Engagement, Lifestyle and Branding sessions are delivered within 2 weeks from the session date.

Can I bring my pet to our session?

Heck yes!! I LOVE all animals, and having your fur baby be part of your engagement or lifestyle session is a perfect way to make your photos even more personal and special.
