Resources & Guides
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
I am based out of Clarenville, NL. I currently live in Clarenville but the majority of my work is based in St. John’s and across the province. I am available for work province-wide (and world-wide)!
WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?
My style is best described as candid, adventurous, and real! I love capturing those moments when you forget I’m even there, and are simply just enjoying your partners company.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I use Sony Alpha camera bodies, Sony G Master lenses, and flashes. I also come prepared with additional batteries, memory cards, a tripod, light modifiers, and light stands to be used if needed! On a typical wedding day, I shoot with a Sony A7 IV with a Sony 35mm 1.4 GM, Sony 50mm 1.8, Sony 20mm 1.8 G, + Sony 85mm 1.8, along with flashes and Magmod flash diffusers!
WHO WILL YOU SHOOT?
Nathan Eddy Photography is a culturally diverse and LGBTQ inclusive business! I love working with people from various walks of life! I would absolutely love to shoot any type of wedding — LGBTQ/Christian/Indian/Persian/Jewish/Non-Religious, etc.
MYSELF AND/OR MY PARTNER ARE UNCOMFORTABLE BEING IN PHOTOS. CAN YOU HELP?
Absolutely! It’s my job to help! If you’re somebody who just hates being in photos, I try to shoot quickly, and chat in between! As we are moving around, I like to crack jokes, and get to know you, so it feels like we are “hanging out” rather than “doing business”! If you’re somebody who just doesn't feel comfortable in photos, it is my job to make you look and feel great! I have a very laid back approach, so there’s no pressure at all! Afterwards, a lot of my clients say how much fun they had, and how relaxed they felt during their shoot. If you’re booking your wedding photography with me, I highly recommend an engagement shoot to get those gitters out of the way! We will explore and have fun, and ensure that you’re ready for your big day!
We want to include our dog into the ceremony and photos, is that okay?
That is MORE than okay! In fact I highly encourage it! I am a huge animal lover so we included our dog in our ceremony and he spent our whole day with us and I wouldn't have it any other way! Your fur babies are your babies and I want to capture your family, however that may look to you!
DO WE HAVE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A MEAL AT DINNER?
Yes please! If you’d like me to shoot during the dinner/reception, I would prefer a sit down meal! I love sitting with guests, getting to know them, enjoying a hot meal, and shooting throughout. Don’t forget to add me to the seating chart, because if I’m poked away in the basement trying to eat, I’ll miss all of fun stuff like the speeches, toasts, and any games you may have planned! If you choose not to provide a meal, I will take a 1 hour break during the dinner portion of the evening to grab a meal elsewhere!
Also - if possible, let the dinner staff know to feed me after the head table so I'm done eating and ready to shoot as soon as things ramp up when you're done your meal!
HAVE YOU SHOT AT OUR LOCATION BEFORE?
Chances are if you are getting married in the St. John’s area that I have been to your venue before! If I haven’t, not to worry — I am confident that I will do an excellent job capturing it! If possible I like to show up early to take a look around the location, but regardless I absolutely love getting creative in a fresh new location!
HOW AND WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?
You will receive your fully edited high-resolution gallery within 12-14 weeks via digital download. You will have your own private password-protected gallery that you can view and share with others!
Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?
A travel fee of $0.68/km applies to all weddings that require over 100kms of travel from Clarenville (minus the metro St. John's area).
Overnight accommodation fees may apply to weddings beyond a certain location.
All collections subject to 15% provincial tax.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK YOU FOR OUR WEDDING?
My calendar fills up pretty quickly, so you should plan to book about 16-20 months in advance! If you are planning your wedding in a shorter timeframe, please send me an email and we can discuss availability!
