Frequently Asked Questions
Do we get the images to keep?
Yep! Done to my style of editing with a mixture of black and white and colour shots. You get two copies, one full resolution copy and one low resolution copy in two different folders on your USB, one for print, the other for social media and email. And you get all the good images, the best of over 4000+ I usually shoot on the day and usually over 450+ in the final handover to tell the story of your day. AND you can do with them whatever you want.
No restriction from me (unless you sell them to Hello Magazine and make a fortune I might have to say something then).
Do you do the group shots?
Yes, but let me advise they can take forever! We don't want you being away from your wedding for too long, so let's get organised beforehand and come up with a plan. I usually advise and we can get them done quickly so you can get back to the party!
When will we get the images?
I cover myself by saying 8 weeks after the wedding but it’s never been that long! Usually sooner. I do my best to get them to you as soon as I can, depending on how busy I am. But it's in the contract I make sure you get them before the deadline!
What happens if you're ill?
Don't panic! Firstly, it's not happened so far, but in the unlikely event that I can't make it, I have a great network of awesome photographers who would be able to jump into my place and cover your day. I would still edit the photos for you and you won't go short at all.
Can we do a pre-wedding shoot? We’re a bit nervous
Absolutely! I know it’s not always for everyone, but if you’re feeling a bit queasy about getting your photos taken, then a pre-wedding shoot is a great way to help you see that it’s really not as bad as you think. It’s a great opportunity for us to get to know each other a little better, give some pointers, have a laugh, make you nice and chilled and see that you CAN look great in photos! It’s always a laugh, super relaxed and can be done whenever and wherever you want. Go check out more info here and get in touch if this is something you feel would benefit you. All the couples love it!
Are you insured?
Absolutely. Indemnity and public liability is a must and I would never do it without. I want you to be as protected as possible.
Are you a lone ranger?
Yes, I am. But if you want a second shooter, then I can get one for you for your reassurance but there will be an extra charge (they don't do it for free! Haha). For really big weddings, it might be worth thinking about.
Can we have the RAW files, we have a friend...
I'm afraid not. You're hiring me for my style as much as my work so it would go against that to give out my images to someone else to freely edit in a totally different way.
Can you recommend other suppliers?
Sure! I have loads. from videographers to cake makers. Ask and I will help where I can.
They are all pretty awesome!
Do you do albums?
Yep, sort of haha! My galleries have already pre-made “shops” which leaves you to do with the photos as you please. You can browse the products, make your own albums, prints, calendars…whatever takes your fancy. This way you have independence on what it is you want to buy without feeling pressured by me by trying to sell you extra stuff to make a quick buck! The choice is yours. I have set the shop up for it to be as easy to navigate as possible and pricing to be as clear and fair as it can be. Go for it! There is plenty to choose from.
Can we book you now?
Of course! Hit the yellow button below and fill out the form. I will get back to you straight away and organise a meet-up. After, we can complete the contract, send over the booking fee via bank transfer (the details will be on the invoice) and you're good to go! The journey begins!
