STYLE GUIDE
Interested in hiring Jaana Brown for your wedding? This is the style you can expect for each part of your day.
In an Instagram era its important to note that this does not include digital augmentation, liposuction or airbrushing.
If for example, you have fake tan on your fingers or your nails have not been painted, looking for bigger hair or a smaller waist or you are expecting heavily airbrushed and edited images then I am not the photographer for you.
My mantra is to capture memories of your day, I dont apply filters or manipulate the images heavily - whilst I can do those things for you if you ask, a quote for work will be provided beforehand due to the workload associated with 'photoshopping' images. To learn more about why this costs so much visit this excellent blog produced by a fellow photographer.
Photoshopping or what we call retouching charges out at a cost of $50 an hour and depending on the work you request can take from 1-12hrs sometimes a lot longer to finalise per image.
