F.A.Qs

Do you charge for travel?

How many photographs do we get?

Do you do group photos?

I love to travel. Travel to the mainland UK is included in my prices. You won't get charged per mile with me! If the wedding is over 2.5 hours away, I will ask for accommodation to be paid for.

I also work abroad! Email me for destination wedding costs.

I don't limit the number of images I supply. I will take photographs of everything throughout the day, and you'll receive all of the final edited photos. You receive a minimum of 500 pictures from a full day of photography.

Yas! I think group photos with family and special ones are super important. I wouldn’t recommend any more than 6-8 groups, which shouldn’t take more than 20-30 minutes.

Can you hold our wedding date?

Who owns the copyright of the images?

How long after the wedding do we see the images?

I'm afraid I can't hold any wedding dates. I often get enquiries for the same date, so whoever agrees to the T&C's and pays the deposit first is confirmed. I'll always let you know if I have another enquiry for the same date. Or the person who buys me the most chocolate ;)

The copyright of the images always remains with the photographer, but I do give a personal license to my clients, so they can produce, share and print all their wedding images. The only thing you cannot do with the photos is to use them for commercial resale. I.e., you can't just sell them to O.K. magazine and not give me a cut ;)

I will share a little sneak peek of the day with you about a week after the wedding. In busy periods my lead time is 6-8 weeks. I edit all the images myself. Once your images are ready, you will receive your online gallery (with full and unrestricted access to download the photos).

Sounds great! What’s the booking process/ How does this stuff all work?

We hate posing for photos – think Chandler Bing… help?

What cameras and kit do you use? Do you have backups and are you insured?

After we've met or had a zoom chat, and you've decided I'm the right amount of crazy/weird and you want to book, drop me a line, and I can do my happy dance.

Once the booking form is completed, I will send you an invoice and contract. A £500 deposit will need to be paid (this comes off the final total), and once the contract is signed and the deposit is paid, that's it, you're officially booked in the diary!

Same! Would you believe I'm a photographer and hate having my photo taken? I can completely relate to the way you're feeling. Most people aren't used to having a camera shoved in their face, so I like to keep the photos natural and relaxed.

There's no stiff, awkward posing or cheesy instructions! I like to have a bit of fun with you and do things that reflect you guys as a couple.

I always shoot with 2 professional Canon DSLR cameras with a Canon L series lens collection. I also have an additional back-up camera just-in-case, and I have a ton of high-quality memory cards.

And you bet I'm fully insured! I have public indemnity and public liability insurance, and all of my snazzy camera gear is insured too.
