Frequently asked question’s
What’s my approach on the day? The best way I can describe how I work on the day is documentary style, I try to blend in capturing moments that would normally go unnoticed.
What time do you start/finish? My normal full day package is up to 10 hours and will start at bridal preparations, this is roughly 2 hours before the ceremony and finishing after a few dances in the evening.
Can I view a full gallery of your work? Yes, absolutely! What you see on my website is the highlights from the wedding day, I would be more than happy to share with you a full gallery so you get a sense of what the full day will look like.
Can we meet before the wedding day? Building a connection before the wedding day is of great importance to me, I want to make sure you are comfortable and know you are confident I am the right wedding photographer for you. We can meet for a coffee to chat all about your wedding plans or we can arrange call if that’s easier.
Can I do an engagement session? Engagement/pre wedding sessions are a fantastic way to get to know one another before the wedding and helps you to feel more at ease in front of the camera. Get in touch for more info, happy to discuss locations and ideas with you.
Do you photograph weddings with a second photographer? I photograph about 80% of my weddings on my own, but there are times when having a second photographer is really useful. I would recommend it if you are having a larger wedding, 100+ guests. There are many pros to having a second photographer, just get in touch and I can talk you through them.
Do you offer a half day service? Yes, I can offer a half day (5 hours) this is usually from 1 hour before ceremony until speeches.
Do you have album packages? I would highly recommend printing your photographs. I have 3 main albums, 8x8, 10x10 and 12x12 inch, there are also other sizes available. The albums I design have a variety of high quality cover finishes, my main go to covers are the luxury linen and leather.
How do you deliver the photographs? All your edited images come on USB along with a private password protected online gallery, this is especially useful when family members wish to view your images. I also deliver 20 6x4inch prints of your choice with the full day option.
Do you have custom packages? My price is a base rate, it gives you the ability to add on extras, like the engagement shoot, an album and a second photographer.
Do you take family group photographs? Yes, I always dedicate time after the ceremony for family group photo’s, I will send out a wedding details form before the wedding day to get all the final details and a list of names for the groups, this allows things to run smoothly on the day.
What is your turnaround time? My turnaround time is typically 6-8 weeks for the full gallery, however I do deliver some previews a few days after the wedding, perfect for thank you cards.
How many images will I receive? I normally deliver 500+ high resolution images, the images are watermark free.
Who owns the copyright? I retain the copyright to the images. My contract however gives you personal print and social media permissions, for non-commercial use.
Do you travel? Yes, I am available to travel worldwide. My normal rates apply with the only extras being flights, accommodation and car hire if required.
How do we book? To secure your date I simply require a signed contract and a £500 deposit. You can get in touch here.
