WHAT WILL THE PRICE BE?

To photograph your wedding day in full, there is a retainer fee of £500 (inc VAT). This is all you pay before your wedding day. After your wedding, you can choose one of my picture book collections, which start at £2,000. The retainer fee is separate and is not deducted from these collections.

Wedding videography has a retainer fee of £500, with the balance of £2,450 payable before your wedding (£2,950 in total). If you’d like both services, both retainer fees are needed to secure your booking.

WE ARE INTERESTED IN BOTH PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY. DO YOU OFFER BOTH?

Yes, I offer both photography and videography for your wedding day. With the specialised equipment I use, I can capture photos and video in a way that’s completely unobtrusive. When you’d like both services, I bring a second camera operator with me. Videography is full-day coverage, with a cinematic highlight film, the full ceremony and full speeches.

HOW DO WE SECURE OUR WEDDING DATE?

Your date is secured once I receive your signed booking form and the non-refundable retainer fee. The retainer covers my time and skill in preparing, liaising and photographing or filming your day.

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?

Yes, I’ll travel anywhere in the world to document your wedding.

WHEN WILL WE SEE THE FINISHED PHOTOGRAPHS?

Your wedding photos are usually ready to view just under six weeks after your wedding, at an in-person viewing. If you choose a picture book collection, you’ll receive a private online gallery to choose the images for your book.

HOW MANY PHOTOS ARE IN OUR PICTURE BOOK?

My wedding photography style is photojournalistic. I capture your day so that it tells a story, and for me the emotion of the day is best presented with around 250 photos. Keepsake holds 200 images, Legacy and LUXE hold 250, and Heirloom includes a further 120-image Heirloom book.

WE WOULD LIKE DIGITAL PHOTOS?

Of course. Your edited digital images are included in every collection: 200 images with Keepsake, and 250 with Legacy and LUXE. Heirloom includes RAW and edited JPEG files of every image (650+). If you choose a books-only collection, you can add digital files at any time. I don’t offer a digital-only package, because I believe every couple should have a printed book.

ARE YOU FULLY INSURED?

Yes.

HOW DIFFERENT IS EVERY WEDDING?

Finding that magical moment, composition and style is what I love to do. Every single moment can be captured artistically. It’s people that make a wedding different, and every wedding has different people. Your family and friends make your wedding special.

DO YOU GET EMOTIONAL DURING A WEDDING?

I do. A wedding can be incredibly moving, and I can smile or shed a tear. That’s what happens at a wedding! They’re wonderfully unique events that deserve to be captured beautifully.

WE NOTICE THAT ALL YOUR IMAGES ON SOCIAL MEDIA ARE JUST COUPLES. DO YOU ALSO TAKE DETAIL PHOTOS AND FAMILY PICTURES?

I’ve always wanted couples to book me for the connection and intimacy in my work, so that’s what I share the most. But I’m with you for around 10 hours, so yes, I capture all of the day’s events: the details, candids, family photos and everything else that happens on a wedding day, because they’re all important to me. There are many full wedding days on my blog that show the entire day.

YOUR PHOTOS ARE BEAUTIFUL, BUT WE WERE WONDERING WHETHER MOST OF THE PHOTOS WE RECEIVE WOULD BE DARKER AND MOODIER, OR LIGHTER?

I love using natural light and shadow to create mood, drama and a feeling of intimacy. On your wedding day I’m always watching the sunlight and checking the weather, because I want to photograph your portraits in the most creative, dramatic and atmospheric light possible. That style isn’t suited to an entire day, though. I’ll capture your wedding with a good mix of dramatic portraits and clean, natural photography throughout, to give an accurate record of your day, as you can see in all my blog posts.

DO YOU HAVE BACKUP EQUIPMENT WITH YOU?

I do. I bring three camera bodies, plus backup lenses, batteries and memory cards.

DO YOU HAVE A SECOND SHOOTER?

I’m asked this a lot. I work alone as standard, because I’m very protective of the attention and care you receive, and on my own I blend in, which means I can capture those natural, unguarded moments of laughter. For larger weddings, a second photographer is available as an add-on for £425, chosen from photographer friends I trust. If I’m filming and photographing your wedding, I always bring a second videographer.

HOW MANY WEDDINGS DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH A YEAR?

I only work with about 30 couples a year, so it’s best to get in touch as soon as your heart is set. Finding out that your date isn’t available is disappointing, and I genuinely care about every couple and every wedding. The people I meet at weddings often become friends for life and see me as their family photographer, for their first baby, family photos and special occasions. I capture a moment in history for you, and it’s an amazing experience.

HOW OFTEN DO WE NEED TO MEET BEFORE OUR WEDDING DAY?

I love to build our relationship. After all, I’m going to be with you for over 12 hours on the biggest day of your lives, and we need to be a perfect little team. I call us the “A team”. We can talk, and social media lets you get to know me so well that we become friends. That’s how the nerves go and your trust in me is built. It will be beautiful: you and your guests will be relaxed with me around. I don’t have to tell anyone what to do or where to look. I watch the story unfold and try to capture every bit of it.

HOW CAN WE FIND OUT MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING COLLECTIONS?

I’d love to hear about your wedding. Just say hi, and I’ll send you my full wedding brochure.
