Question 1

How many photos will we get?

Accepted Answer

Typically, for a full wedding, I deliver between 600 - 900+ images. It's not an exact science though and depends fully on what was happening on the day, how lively your guests were, and how many there were in general. Usually the more guests you have the more photos as I try to include everyone at least once.

Question 2

We have a big list of group photos we want, can you work your way through the list?

Accepted Answer

I love fun group photos especially if we can arrange people creatively! But in my experience, most guests don't enjoy too many of the traditional ones, to be honest. I usually recommend having just the immediate family combos, the supporting crew/VIPs, and a full group if we can manage it in the space we have. We can then take some more relaxed ones with others afterwards if you like. I know that in some cultures group shots are more a thing than in others, too - but as my approach is mostly about genuine unscripted moments, I am not the right photographer for you if this is a particularly important part of the day for you.

Question 3

How much will it cost?

Accepted Answer

Please check the Investment section further up this page :) When you enquire, do send me details of what you're planning and how long you'd need me for, and I'll be able to provide a specific quote based on your timings too. I also offer a discount for venues on my bucket list, of which there are many, so do ask - you never know.

Question 4

Does the price include travel?

Accepted Answer

The quote I'll provide will include travel costs if applicable, yes. If it's not realistic for me to safely travel back home the same evening (depending on logistics and location), overnight accommodation will be added separately, but I'll mention this during our initial consultation if applicable so you can be sure about what to expect before you book.

Question 5

Can we have a second photographer? Do we even need one?

Accepted Answer

A second photographer can be useful for several reasons, but isn't essential. It really depends on how big your wedding is, and how complicated the logistics are. When a wedding is large enough to have loads going on, and you want to ensure coverage in two locations, or from different angles of important moments, I can certainly book a second photographer, whose images will still be edited by me to ensure consistency across your album. It's also useful to have a competent second photographer in the unlikely event that anything happens to me on the way to your wedding (although this has never happened and hopefully never will).

Question 6

How long do we have to wait for our pictures?

Accepted Answer

My contract says a 6 week turnaround as sometimes my schedule can get very busy, but during quieter periods it's usually 2-3 weeks.

Question 7

Can I print my own album?

Accepted Answer

You are welcome to print your own albums too for your own private use after you receive your digitals. However, I am committed to ensuring that your photos get the beautiful treatment they deserve in a professional album that will stand the test of time and can be kept for decades without fading or the colour looking wrong. And I take all the hassle out of the design and ordering process for you so you can focus on enjoying the post-wedding high! I offer beautiful albums in several sizes, so just ask if you'd like me to sort that out for you.

Question 8

What kind of albums do you offer?

Accepted Answer

The suppliers I use for my beautiful coffee table albums are professional labs that work only with photographers; the inks and paper used in them are archival quality and the colours will be exactly as intended when I took the pictures, which is often not true for high street or cheaper online retailers. The flow of your day will be matched to a custom layout I create for you, so that the story unfolds in the best possible rhythm across the album.

Question 9

Do you photograph LGBTQ+ weddings and partnership ceremonies? 🌈

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I'm an ally and the more people I can witness celebrating their love, in whatever shape or form, the more I love my job, so I'm here for it! The way I shoot doesn't depend on gender in any way - documentary is whatever happens on the day anyway, and for your couple portraits I work with your vibe and how you interact with each other regardless of gender. I also try to avoid gendered or otherwise heteronormative language on my website and in my labelling of workflow and such; however do please call me out if I miss something, as I'm only human and may not get it right 100% of the time as much as my heart is in the right place.

Question 10

I am neurodivergent/have a disability, can you accommodate that?

Accepted Answer

ABSOLUTELY. I'm neurodivergent myself, I get it. Please don't hesitate to ask for any accommodations such as a certain form of communication, or other adjustments I can make to help you feel more comfortable. You don't need to disclose your diagnosis or anything, unless you want to; all I ask is that you still provide me with the details I ask for in the lead up to your big day in whatever format works for you, so that I can make sure I get the best possible photos for you :-)

Question 11

Are you insured? What happens if your equipment breaks?

Accepted Answer

I have full public liability and professional indemnity insurance through PolicyBee/Hiscox (policy no. 14791356). I carry backup equipment with me so that if something breaks or malfunctions, I can continue working with minimal interruption to coverage. I shoot on dual memory cards, too, so if one becomes corrupted I have a full backup on the other card by default so your images aren't lost.
