Frequently asked questions about my wedding photography

Interested in booking me but have some wedding photography questions?

How do I actually book you?

First of all, you can head to my contact page, or drop me an email, or give me a call on 07919 574940 to check on my availability, I shoot both weekend and weekday commissions. If your date is available, we can chat about your big day and whether you want a bespoke package or not. Following that it’s just a case of paying a £300 deposit to secure the date (this comes off the final balance) and that’s it, your booked in! The remaining balance is due 1 month before your big day.

Do I have to sign anything?

Yup, just a simple wedding contract, detailing times and locations of your day as well as some industry standard small print about cancellations etc.

How do I pay?

You could pay using ye olde pieces of eight and some good quality cider, or, better, I accept cheques and bank transfers.

Can I specify how long I want you to photograph my wedding for?

Of course, I operate a fully bespoke pricing structure meaning you only pay for what you want. If you only want me there for 2 hours or you want me there for 12 hours then that’s not a problem, I can accommodate both.

I want a lot of group shots and want a lot of posed photography, are you able to do that?

My specialism is documentary wedding photography, photography that is un-posed and natural. I do the group shots and I do bride & groom portraits, however, I prefer to concentrate on covering your wedding in the most natural way possible.

Do you travel?

Yup, anywhere and everywhere!

How long until I get my photos?

I aim to have your photos with you within a maximum 6 weeks of your wedding. If you choose to have an album, this takes a little while longer, albums take a while to design and print, I have a dedicated room of album pixies who will aim to turn around any albums in as quick a time as possible.

How many photos will I actually receive?

Around 400 full corrected images with a mixture of colour and monochrome, it does however depend on how long I’m at your wedding for.

How do I get the photos?

Your photographs are uploaded to a private online gallery. You get the link, from there you can download them in high and low resolution. There is also the option of purchasing prints. You are welcome to share the gallery with your family and friends.

Do you shoot alone of use an assistant?

Generally, I shoot alone. This is to lessen the impact of having a photographer at your wedding. Working alone allows me to blend into your guests and to be as subtle as possible without people thinking “argggghhh, man with camera, must hide”! However, I can arrange for an assistant should you require it.

Do I have to feed you?

It’s up to you, some form of food would always be nice as it’s a long day for us photographers. Veggie only for me though.

I want to bring my dog to the wedding, is that ok?

YES, YES and more YES! Bring them along, it would be great to have them involved. I am a massive dog lover and encourage you to bring them along, after all. Dogs are our best friends, so get them involved.

What if you are ill?

Well, I rarely get ill so baring an outbreak of plague, or should I get struck by a freak lightening strike. I will always show up. Should the worse happen though, I have a network of trusted local photographers who can step up and cover your wedding.

What about insurance?

My camera kit is insured, along with professional indemnity insurance and public liability insurance. Copies of certificates available on request.
