FAQ
what is your approach on the day?
My approach on the day is always tailored to each couple and the unique vibe of their wedding. I’m big on reading the room, sometimes that means being more vocal and giving direction other times it means blending into the background and letting moments unfold naturally. Either way, the goal is always the same: to capture the day honestly and deliver you a strong, beautiful authentic gallery!
Tell me more about your editing process?
Editing (the bit that takes time, you can't rush art) Your final edits will be a mixture of colour and black & whites, you may also find the same image in both colour and black & white, this is determined by what I think works best with the image and what i'm trying to create.
I don't use AI technology to edit my photos, I take my time to carefully go through every single image individually curating and tweaking, giving it my artistic stamp, but keeping it authentically you.
What happens if you haven't worked at our wedding venue before?
As a wedding photographer I have worked at many venue for the first time, it's actually very exciting for me to work in new venues as it gives me the chance to see it as a blank canvas and get creative! I do usually turn up to your wedding early to have a look around so I'm not going in completely blind, and I also stalk the venues instagram page before hand.
How do we book?
Just click on the "contact me" below and fill out the form in as much detail as possible!! I will then send you an email with my information pack (if I'm available on your wedding date) I will then give you the opportunity to book a video/ phone with me. Once you give me the go ahead, I will send you over the booking details along with contract and my wedding day photo tips.
Then once the 20% booking fee (£500 for a full day package) is received & the contract is signed we are then official! The remaining balance is due 2 weeks before the wedding but can paid anytime before.
When we book you for a full day, when do you arrive & leave?
I will arrive 2 hours before the ceremony starts, and leave 30 minutes after the first dance (up to 10 hours)
We are really awkward and don't like having our photo taken
This is what I hear from a lot of my couples, firstly I am exactly the same! Please don't worry I won't make you stand there gazing into each other eyes, I really like to keep it fun and light! Every couple are different, some want to the more "posed" editorial look, and others go for a more relaxed candid approach. I work with what my couples want and feel comfortable with!
Do we need a second photographer?
No you don't need a second photographer. If you have over 100 guests in the day, or want lots of candids and all angles covered then this might be a good option for you.
Do you charge travel & accommodation?
Travel is included. If you venue is more than 2 hours away from where is live (PO2) then a set fee of £200 is added for travel and accommodation.
Do you shoot film?
I used a 35mm film camera. One roll of film in colour is included in every full day package, additional rolls can be provided on request.
Do you edit out distractions or unwanted details in photos?
i’ll tidy up minor distractions where I can things like loose hairs, small background elements like exit signs, or temporary blemishes. my approach is always to keep everything looking natural, so your images still feels authentic.
What happens in-between booking you and the wedding?
I am here throughout the entire process if you have any questions or just want to chat then my phone, emails, dm's are open!
Then one month before your wedding day I will send you my questionnaire so we can go through everything in more details, I will then arrange a a phone call with you to talk through your day, and answer any questions that you may have.
How many images will we receive?
With a full day package you will receive a minimum of 400 images. Obviously it all depends on have many guests you have, the type of wedding you are going for and if you have a second shooter. If its a good photo its going in the gallery I don't put a limit on how many images you receive.
When will we receive our wedding gallery?
Within 1 week after the wedding I will send you between 20 to 50 fully edited preview photos. Then your full gallery will be delivered within 4 to 8 weeks.
Do have insurance?
Yes I have public liability insurance, and professional indemnity insurance.
