Q&As

The secret lies in capturing those spontaneous, unplanned moments. Whether it’s the way someone’s eyes light up or the small, intimate gestures between loved ones, the magic is in focussing on those fleeting seconds that tell the real story. Combine that with a keen eye for detail, some great equipment, and an easygoing approach, and you get photos that feel as genuine and timeless as the precious memories they represent!

Capturing exactly what’s envisioned is key. For weddings, questions are always asked about must-have moments, special traditions, family dynamics, and the overall vibe of the day (fun and relaxed, elegant and timeless, or a mix of both?) as well as practical / timing considerations. For birthdays or family sessions, attention is given to the unique details of the celebration—are there any surprise elements or big highlights that shouldn’t be missed? With over a decade of experience, the right questions are always asked to ensure every meaningful and delightful moment is captured authentically in a way you will love.

The most rewarding part of the job is being there for those joyous, emotional moments. From behind the lens, it's clear that families and generations will treasure these split-seconds forever, reliving them every time they look at framed prints, screensavers, and other photo gifts. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, or family shoot, capturing those spontaneous expressions of love, laughter, and connection is a true privilege. Meeting amazing people and being part of their celebrations only adds to the satisfaction of the work.

A passion for photography and a desire to create real, lasting memories for people sparked the journey. After capturing countless moments for friends and family, it became clear that the ability to make clients feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera was something special. Starting a business allowed for not only offering something different from traditional photography experiences—something more personal, fun, and tailored to each client—but also the ability to provide sleek and beautiful online systems for delivering and sharing memories. It also provided the perfect excuse to invest in professional-grade gear, ensuring that every shot is captured with the highest quality and precision.

Pause The Moment always offers a personal and professional approach that’s far from typical. With over a decade of experience, it’s about ensuring the day runs happily and smoothly, from capturing authentic moments to effortlessly adjusting the schedule if needed. A relaxed and creative style is brought to every session, along with the ability to make clients feel at ease. The focus remains on capturing timeless, candid images that genuinely reflect the day.

Though photography services are always in-person, remote consultations are available to assist with planning, timelines, or pre-shoot questions. Virtual meetups have also been arranged for destination weddings or smaller celebrations, ensuring every client feels prepared and supported, no matter the distance.

Client safety has always been a top priority. During Covid-19, extra precautions were taken, including wearing masks when necessary, maintaining social distancing, and sanitizing all equipment before and after each session. Open communication was maintained to ensure clients felt secure, and current safety protocols continue to be followed to keep everyone comfortable. Above all, ensuring clients feel relaxed and excited during their shoot, no matter the circumstances, remains the ultimate priority as this gives everyone the best results!
