How far in advance should I book a Manawatu / Whanganui photographer?

For standard residential shoots, aim for 1–2 weeks’ notice. Commercial or multi-day projects often require 4–6 weeks, especially during peak build and listing seasons.

Many offer optional CAA-certified drone services. Expect an additional $250–$600 depending on flight time, permissions and deliverables.

Can I use the images in national magazines?

Most packages include marketing rights for your business. Editorial publication is usually permitted but always confirm usage terms and photographer credit requirements before shooting.
