Are you a full time wedding photographer? Yes, I most certainly am! Wedding photography is my full time job and passion, this means that each and every wedding that I capture gets my full attention! I don’t use weddings to supplement another income or treat it as a side project.
Will you be the one photographing my wedding? absolutely, I do all of the editing and album design too. All the images on my website were taken by me, at real weddings! None of the images on my website were taken at training or portfolio building days.
What if my day overruns or the timings dont go to schedule? These things happen, and are not for you to worry about. I stay until the job is done, You just relax and enjoy it.
How long do you stay? For full day coverage I typically arrive about 2 hrs before the ceremony to photograph the bridal preparations, and going through to approx 1hr after the first dance.
How far do you book in adavance? Dates book up quite quickly, I am fortunate to take bookings at least 12-18months in advance , on average I receive around 150 wedding enquiries per year. I currently have confirmed bookings in 2020! Yikes! so please do get in touch to see if your date is available!
How much work is involved in photographing my wedding? From initial contact through to completion of finished images and albums, Approx 40 – 45 hrs work.
How long will it take to receive our photographs? I like to have your finished images back with you within 4 weeks of your wedding date.
How do we receive the photographs? You will receive your images in 2 ways - all the edited photographs and slideshow will be supplied copyright free in a personalised wooden box on a USB drive, you will also receive a password protected online gallery to share with your family and friends who can download and print images as they wish.
How do you describe your photographic style? My style of photography lends itself to a variety of styles. I like to capture the day as naturally as possible as it unfolds in a documentary style, I will of course take some group photo's but these will be captured quickly and efficiently. I will then take you both off for around 20 minutes to get some stunning portraits together, these will be in both a natural and high end fashion style!
Are you insured? I certainly am, for your peace of mind, as well as mine. Full public liabilty and professional indemnity insurance, as well as all of my equipment.
What cameras & equipment do you use? I shoot with professional grade Canon 5d mark 3 cameras and Sigma Art prime lens's , including back up camera's and lens's. I also bring a host of off camera lighting to keep up with the demands of ever changing light on a wedding day.
Our wedding is very small, can you still cover this? Absolutely, I have covered weddings from as little as 4 people, so please do get in touch, and we can talk about costings for this.
We are having our wedding in another country, can you join us? Yes,Yes and Yes! I have a fully up to date passport, I am well travelled and my wife and I also got married on distant shores! it was amazing!
Can we meet you before the wedding? Yes, I love to meet all my couples where possible before their wedding to go through the details of the day. If this is not possible due to distances, then I will always be available by phone, or skype.
Do we need to feed you? I never say no to food! however I also understand the costs involved on a wedding day , so if there's a main course going i'll take it, if not, no problem!
If there is anything I have missed or if you have a burning question , please do not hesiate to ask!
