I really like your work. How do I book?
That's great news! Hop over to fill in my contact form to get the ball rolling and receive a pricing brochure. We'll arrange a chat and get to know each other a little. I can show you some more of my work and you can tell me more about your day. It’s so important to me that we get each other and that my approach to wedding photography is what you’re looking for.
Please feel free to ask any more questions after the chat. Once you have decided that you want to go ahead with the booking let me know and I’ll send a booking agreement and invoice via email. A booking fee is payable to secure your date.
Where do you work?
I've got a little space in the dining room. The only place where I draw a line to not having the kids toys scattered around. But that's not what you mean right? I am based in Rutland and work across the U.K. for a wedding and a couple who love my vibe. Find out more about me and where I work over here.
What's a second shooter? And do I need one?
A second shooter is another photographer that I will hire to help get more angles and coverage for your day. I can't be in two places at once and a second shooter helps fix this! I hire someone I know and have worked with before whose style and work I trust. I would recommend having one if you and your partner are getting ready in separate locations if you are having more than 80 guests, have a tight schedule, have more than one venue for the day and/or if you would really like lots of candid photos of your guests enjoying your day. You can add one on up until 12 weeks before the day.
Do you have insurance?
Yep. I am fully insured and have both public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
When should I book?
Book early or as soon as you can! I really think, when you know, you know. I go by the 3 P's. Do you like my personality? Do you like my portfolio? Do you like my price?
I am usually booked more than a year in advance of the day. Sometimes three! I only take a limited number of bookings a year so that I can deliver a dedicated personal service. Check my availability by getting in touch.
Would you rather have to read aloud every word you read or sing everything you say out loud?
Siiiiiiinnnnnng!!
How many hours of wedding photography do I need?
A common question! Go for by the hour or for a full day and if you cannot decide, this handy blog I wrote can help you: How many hours of wedding photography do I need?
Do I have to provide you with a shot list?
As a documentary wedding photographer, you do not need to provide me with a shot list. Trust in me to capture your day! More is explained over on my blog: What is a documentary wedding photographer? During our chat, I will happily share full galleries and once you book we can discuss the group shots you really want. I can provide suggestions to choose from if you are stuck. You can see the types of things I document over here: 5 Must-Have Types of Documentary Wedding Photographs
If you don't want the formality of the group shots then, well, don't! It's your day and you don't HAVE to have these. I'll capture who was there as you party - but please bear in mind I can not photograph every single guest and nor can I guarantee I caught Aunty Janet raising a glass. I will, however, capture everything that I see and will move around lots to capture as much as I can. More useful info on group shots can be found on the blog: how I capture group shots.
When do I get the photographs?
A ‘sneak peek’ will be posted within 24-48 hours of your wedding.. Editing is completed within 8-10 weeks for weddings between October – May or within 12-14 weeks for peak season weddings in July - September. The photos will be available to view in an online gallery once the editing is complete. A link will be sent to you via email.
How do I get my photos?
You get edited digital images via a password-protected online gallery. You'll just need a computer with internet access to view the photographs. I will email you a link to the gallery and you can even share the gallery with friends and family.
What if something happens to you?
Thankfully, this has never happened but I have a contingency plan in case. I know and am part of an amazing community of photographers who will be able to step in should I fall ill/injured.
With your images, I shoot on multiple cameras each with two memory cards. I back up all data as soon as I get home and I am fully insured.
If animals could talk, which would be the rudest?
I think it’d have to be a goose. Why are they so aggressive?
