Frequently Asked Questions
How far do you travel for weddings?
So far, I’ve travelled extensively throughout the UK, but would be delighted to photograph a wedding overseas in the future.
Is Photography your full time business?
Yes. For a number of years, I juggled my photography alongside a career in the Financial Services Sector, but aside from helping my daughter with her videography business, I concentrate solely on my photography nowadays.
Is your photography formal or candid?
I combine the two. About 75% of the images will be of candid, quite natural and capturing the smiles, laughter and tears of the day, with the remainder being formal. When I say formal, I make sure that they are fun and enjoyable.
Do you have a second shooter?
I usually do and it is often my daughter Stacey. She shoots images from different angles and captures many of the candid moments but is also a great help to me if I need assistance.
What else do you need as a professional photographer?
Insurance and back up equipment is essential.
How long will you be at the wedding?
I usually arrive about 2 hours before the ceremony and stay until about 30 minutes after the first dance.
Do you require a meal at our wedding?
I prefer to stay on sight if at all possible, so I’m happy to buy a bar meal, it really depends on the venue and their ability. I consider it a bonus if the couple organise with the venue to include a meal for the photographers. However this is never a requirement as I know wedding are expensive things and the last thing I want to do is add more cost so I am very happy to bring a packed lunch, just let me know.
How many photos will we receive and how do you deliver them?
For a full day wedding then around 500 images. You will receive you own online password protected Client Gallery, which you can share with your friends and family. I also provide copies on a bespoke USB. Albums can be ordered separately and start at £500.00, these are usually organised after the wedding. I usually complete the editing and deliver about 4 weeks after the wedding.
Is it possible to have a ‘Pre-Wedding’ shoot?
Yes, I recommend that we have a pre-wedding shoot along with the final consultation about a month before your big day.
What if you are ill?
I have a good network professional and friendly photographers would I can call upon if required.
