FAQs

There’s no such thing as a daft question. I'm sure this process is entirely new to most of you. So - here’s a few of the most common questions I get during the booking process and after - of course, if your question isn’t answered here, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

 
 

+ What's your style?

It's so hard to put into words what my style is. What I look for is emotion, character, energy, and fun all in a modern, documentary kinda way. I love to chat to the guests, I love to be a part of the gang, and I love to eat the wedding cake.

+ How many photos can we expect?

It really depends on the level of coverage. If you go for the full banana, then the minimum would be 500 images, but often it's way more than that. That being said, I do believe in quality over quantity.

+ We're awkward AF!

At least 95% of my couples are the same, so you're not alone. I never ask you to do anything weird, or forced, or "crazy", I just want you to be you. As long as you're comfortable with your other half next to you, then you'll be fine.

I've never had anyone burst into flames during a shoot, but there's a first for everything I guess.

+ Are you anti group shots?

Hell no! I do appreciate that you've maybe been to weddings where the photographer has taken an hour to get through a million groups, but that's not me. I absolutely think that we should grab the big hitters - the parents, grandparents etc, but we don't really need cousin Colin and 2nd Aunt Trudy in a line up along with every other combination.

Usually 8 groups is more than enough to get the most important folk, and that takes around 20 minutes. Bosh.

+ Can we add on bits after we've booked?

For sure. I am mega flexible when it comes to your coverage and package. If you wanna up your hours, we can. If you decide 6 months after the wedding that you'd like an album, gimme a shout.

+ Do you charge to travel?

For full day bookings, travel expenses are included. The only additional costs you could expect would be if I need a hotel for the night before/of the wedding due to the distance from my home. We can chat these things through and work out a plan that you're ahppy with (I'm happy to kip on your sofa if needs be).

+ Do you need to see the venue?

Not really.

+ How long do you stay for?

Of course this depends on what package you've gone for, but for full day bookings I turn up when you want me to and I go home when we're happy I've got enough (or when people start falling over, whichever is sooner).

A good guide is usually that I arrive 2hrs before you need to leave for the ceremony to cover prep, and I call it a day between 9pm and 10pm. By then I tend to have enough.

+ What's the booking process?

You give the "We want to book!" shout, and I send a couple of forms your way to fill out and a booking fee invoice for £350. Once both of those are sorted your names are in the diary and we go over the next steps (and I become eternally grateful for the trust you've put in me).

+ Are you a weirdo?

You've got to spend the whole day with your photographer on your wedding day, and usually you will see more of the person with the camera than you will your new spouse. So it's actually a good question to ask.

So, in short, no I'm not a weirdo. I like hugs. I like dancing very awesomely (aka awkwardly) to your band. I always make sure that the grannies are ok. I'm very lucky to get to do what I do, and being around the energy and love of weddings is pretty cool.
