Katie Harmsworth Photography FAQs

12–18 months for peak season (October–April), 3–6 months for winter, when I have more flexibility. I'm also happy to help with last-minute bookings, and I'm available every day of the week.

Yes to all three — I've shot 15 destination weddings across Italy, France, India, Sri Lanka, Bali, Egypt, Jordan, New Zealand, Thailand, and Fiji, plus countless Melbourne venues including Stones of the Yarra Valley, Quat Quatta, Jackalope, and The Melbourne Club, among many others.

Packages start from $5,800 (half-day), with an average investment around $7,500 and full-day/premium coverage from $8,500. A 2-hour elopement package is $2,900, with overtime charged at $650/hour.

A flat $350 fee applies for Victorian venues 2+ hours from Melbourne. Destination wedding travel is quoted separately.

A $2,000 deposit secures your date, with 50% of the remaining balance due 4 months out and the final 50% due 28 days before your wedding. I can offer flexibility on timing, though the full balance is required before the big day.

Up to 3 Zoom consultations plus unlimited email support (phone by appointment).

I'll build a photography timeline tailored to your package, offer informal venue advice, help plan family photo combinations from your questionnaire, and I'm happy to recommend other vendors.

I prefer to work intuitively on the day, drawing on 15 years of experience, while taking on board any specific requests you have.

Cancellations receive a full refund minus the $2,000 deposit, with no refund inside 3 months of the wedding.

Your first date change is free; a second incurs a $750 fee.

If I'm ever unable to fulfil the booking due to something beyond my control, everything except the deposit will be refunded and no further payments required.

I'll be in touch in the lead-up to your day to talk through portrait and timeline options that work around the forecast.

Dual memory cards are used on the day, with files backed up to two separate hard drives plus cloud storage within 48 hours. Files are retained for 2 years.

I retain copyright, with images licensed to couples for personal use only (not commercial use).
