Booking a photographer can feel a bit overwhelming, so I’ve pulled together the questions people ask most often about weddings, family sessions, commercial shoots and everything in between. Think of this page as your go to hub for timing, locations, pricing, travel, what to expect on the day and how the whole process works here in Whangārei and across Northland.
I’ve kept things clear, honest and helpful so you can get a real feel for how sessions run with Photography by Nimmy. If you’re planning a wedding in Northland, looking for updated family photos, organising branding images for your business or booking professional headshots, you’ll find your answer here.
And if you don’t see what you’re looking for, just message me. I’m pretty quick at getting back to people.
It depends on the kind of day you’re planning. Smaller Whangārei and Northland weddings often fit into a shorter package, while full day storytelling works best for couples who want everything from getting ready to the dance floor. If you’re unsure, tell me what your day looks like and I’ll guide you.
Yes, absolutely. I regularly photograph weddings in Waipū, Kerikeri, Matakana and across Northland. Travel is simple and I’ll confirm all details in your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
All wedding packages include high resolution images, a private online gallery and support when planning your timeline. You can add extra hours, second shooters, album design or portrait sessions if needed.
I’ll send you a contract and invoice. Once your retainer is paid, the date is secured. A month before your wedding you’ll get a detailed pre-wedding questionnaire so I can plan everything around the locations, timings and the people who matter most to you.
Yes. Waipū and Kerikeri are two of my most popular spots. If your venue is in either area, I can help you plan ideal lighting, photo locations and timing.
My delivery window is usually 6 to 8 weeks, but most galleries arrive much sooner. You’ll always get a handful of sneak peeks within the first couple days.
You can choose a local beach, forest, your home or a favourite location around Whangārei. I’ll help you pick a spot that suits the vibe you want, whether that’s relaxed lifestyle photos or something a bit more styled.
Yes. I can photograph you at The Shutter Room studio in Whangārei which is perfect for classic portraits, clean backgrounds and weather-safe sessions.
Keep your outfits comfortable and coordinated without matching too closely. Soft tones, simple patterns and natural textures always photograph beautifully. Once you book, I can send a guide with ideas.
Most sessions take around an hour. Extended family photoshoots can take longer, especially when babies or toddlers are involved.
Always. Families come in all shapes and stories, so bring whoever you want included depending on the type of session you book.
You’ll receive a curated set of fully edited images in both high resolution and web size. The exact number depends on the package you choose.
Yes. I photograph headshots for individuals, teams and companies across Whangārei. Sessions can be done on location, in the studio or in your workplace.

Yes. It is warm, safe and easy to access. Bring snacks, toys or anything that keeps little ones comfortable.
Weddings book out months ahead, while family sessions and commercial shoots are usually more flexible. If you’re hoping for golden hour or a weekend slot, early booking helps.
Yes. I photograph weddings and commercial projects across Aotearoa. Travel fees vary depending on the location.
Through a private online gallery that makes it easy to view, download and share. You can also order prints and albums directly from the gallery.

Yes. You receive high resolution files that you can print at any lab. For museum-grade art documentation or large commercial prints, I can guide you toward the best options.

Definitely. Tell me what matters most to you and I’ll make sure those moments are covered. For weddings and commercial work, I’ll also build a shot list based on your needs.
For outdoor sessions we can reschedule or switch to the studio. Weddings go ahead regardless, and I’ll adjust the plan to suit the light and conditions.
