How long does it take to receive my photos after the wedding?
I aim to deliver your photos in around 6 to 8 weeks. Also, I’ll always try and get a few sneak peaks out over insta pretty sharpish!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Relaxed, Informal, Fun, Creative, Documentary
Are you insured?
Yes. As this is my full time profession I have full Public Liability and Professional Indemnity business insurance. I also carry backup camera and lighting equipment
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Try to plan when you have your photos when the light will be best. The last hour around sunset is when the light is at its most flattering. Dusk is also a perfect time to do your couple shots!
Can I order prints and albums after the wedding?
Yes. Your online gallery has a built in shop where you are able to order prints, albums and lots more directly. Also, as you receive high resolution images with printing rights, you are able to take them anywhere you like to get them printed.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I try and make things as easy as possible, weddings can be pretty stressful with a lot of moving parts. The last thing I want is to have any kind of negative impact on that. I truly believe that the photographs should be about the wedding, not making the wedding about the photographs!
The only list I'll ask you for is a short list of family photographs, plus the itinerary. I don't work from shot lists of any kind, each wedding is unique, if I'm ticking things of a list I'm going to miss moments!
Do you take formal group photos?
Of course! Before the wedding I will ask for a short list of these. They are usually done shortly after the ceremony.
Can I see a full day gallery?
I strongly believe that you shouldn’t book a photographer without seeing an example of what a full day gallery looks like. I’m more than happy for you to view any of my previous weddings. Let me know your chosen venue and I can show you some examples of weddings I have previously photographed there.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
A positive attitude and an umbrella!
Describe how you got into photography.
I grew up taking pictures of my friends in bands and skateboarding. That led me to a degree in documentary photography and jobs working as a press photographer and picture editor. I gravitated towards weddings as they are way more fun than waiting outside Downing Street!
