A Few Things You Might Be Wondering…

Before The Day

  • Relaxed, natural and mostly documentary, with a little editorial influence thrown in.

    I love capturing the genuine moments that make your wedding yours. The laughter, happy tears, questionable dance moves and all those little things you might not even notice happening.

    For most of the day, I’ll blend into the background and let things unfold naturally. When it comes to portraits, I’ll offer a little gentle direction to make sure you look your best without anything feeling too staged or awkward.

  • Not at all! In fact, most couples tell me exactly the same thing.

    Having spent years working as an actor, I know how strange it can feel having a camera pointed at you. My job is to make the whole experience feel as relaxed and enjoyable as possible.

    I won't ask you to hold awkward poses or spend ages staring lovingly into each other's eyes (unless that's your thing, of course!).

    We'll have a laugh, take our time and capture photographs that actually feel like you.

  • Absolutely! I love engagement shoots, and they're a brilliant way for us to get to know each other before the wedding.

    It's a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera, have a bit of fun and capture some lovely photographs without the excitement and time pressures of the wedding day.

    Plus, you'll have some beautiful images to use for your invitations, wedding website or just to keep.

  • Of course! Every wedding is different, so there's no reason your photography package shouldn't reflect that.

    Whether you're planning a huge celebration, a small intimate ceremony or something a little unconventional, I'm happy to put together a package that works for you.

    Just tell me what you've got in mind, and we'll go from there.

  • Definitely! I love intimate weddings just as much as big celebrations.

    Whether you're planning a few hours at a registry office or a full weekend of celebrations, I'd be delighted to hear about it.

    Shorter coverage options are available, so get in touch and we can work out what suits your plans.

  • Oh, absolutely! I'm based in London, but I'm always happy to travel throughout the UK and further afield.

    Depending on where you're getting married, there may be additional travel or accommodation costs, but I'll always discuss these with you beforehand so there are no surprises.

    And if you're planning a destination wedding, I'd love to hear about it!

On The Wedding Day

  • Absolutely! Although my style is primarily documentary, I completely understand how important those family photographs are.

    Before the wedding, we'll put together a list of the group shots you'd like so we can get through them efficiently and get everyone back to enjoying the celebrations.

    I'd usually recommend keeping the list fairly manageable. Nobody wants to spend their entire drinks reception lining up for photographs!

  • Usually around 20–30 minutes is plenty, although this depends on your venue, the light and what you'd like.

    I prefer to keep things relaxed and natural, and we can always split the portraits into a couple of shorter sessions throughout the day.

    A little time around sunset can be particularly lovely if the weather plays along.

  • We're in the UK, so there's always a chance!

    But don't worry. Rain doesn't mean you can't have beautiful wedding photographs.

    I'll work with whatever the day throws at us, whether that means finding lovely indoor locations, making use of covered spaces or embracing a little rain if you're up for it.

    Some of my favourite photographs happen when things don't go quite according to plan.

  • Absolutely. I've photographed in all sorts of lighting conditions, from bright outdoor ceremonies to very dark evening venues.

    I use professional equipment and additional lighting when needed, so there's no need to worry if your venue isn't flooded with natural light.

  • I specialise in photography, so I don't personally offer wedding videography alongside my photography coverage.

    However, I've worked with some brilliant videographers over the years and would be more than happy to recommend someone whose approach complements mine.

  • It's extremely unlikely, but I understand why you'd want to ask.

    If something serious prevented me from photographing your wedding, I'd contact you as soon as possible and make every reasonable effort to help arrange a suitable replacement through my network of professional photographers.

    Any replacement arrangements would be discussed with you and handled in accordance with our contract.

  • Not necessarily! I can happily cover most weddings on my own, but a second photographer can be a great addition, particularly if you're getting ready in different locations, have a larger venue or have lots happening throughout the day.

    Having two photographers means we can capture different perspectives and more of those lovely candid moments that might otherwise be missed.

    I work with trusted professional photographers whose style complements my own, and I'm always happy to chat through your plans and recommend whether a second photographer would be worthwhile.

Booking & Planning

  • It's nice and straightforward.

    First, get in touch through my website and tell me a little about your plans, including your wedding date and venue.

    If I'm available, we'll arrange a relaxed chat, either over Zoom or in person, to get to know each other and talk through what you're looking for.

    Once you're happy to go ahead, I'll send over a contract and booking invoice. Your date is officially secured once the contract is signed and the booking fee has been paid.

    Then you can tick one more thing off your wedding to-do list!

  • As soon as you've got your date and venue confirmed, it's worth getting in touch.

    Popular dates, particularly summer Saturdays, can get booked up well in advance. That said, I sometimes have last-minute availability, so it's always worth asking.

  • To secure your date, I ask for a booking fee of 50%, along with a signed contract.

    The remaining balance is due 2 weeks before your wedding.

    Everything will be clearly outlined in your booking agreement, so you'll know exactly what's due and when.

    If your wedding is within 2 weeks then I ask for the full fee to be paid to secure the date.

  • Life doesn't always go to plan, and I completely understand that things sometimes need to change.

    If you need to move your wedding, just let me know as soon as possible. If I'm available on your new date, I'll do my best to accommodate the change.

    If I'm already booked, we'll talk through the available options in line with your booking agreement.

  • Absolutely, and I'd actually encourage it!

    Your photographer will be around for a big part of your wedding day, so it's important that we get along and that you feel comfortable having me there.

    I'm always happy to arrange an informal video call or, where practical, meet for a coffee.

    No hard sell, no obligations, just a chance to chat about your plans and see whether we're a good fit.

  • Of course! I'm always happy to help you work out how much time to allow for different parts of the day.

    We'll chat about your plans, any particular photographs you'd love and how everything fits into your schedule.

    The aim is to make sure we capture everything important without you feeling like you're constantly being pulled away from your guests.

Your Wedding Photographs

  • This depends on how long I'm photographing your wedding and how the day unfolds.

    For full-day coverage, you can typically expect around 400–800 carefully selected and edited photographs.

    I don't believe in limiting a gallery to an arbitrary number. If there's a beautiful moment worth including, I want you to have it!

  • Yes! Every photograph in your final gallery will be individually reviewed and professionally edited to reflect my style.

    That includes adjustments to colour, exposure, contrast and overall consistency, while keeping everything looking natural.

    My aim is for your photographs to look beautiful without losing the atmosphere and authenticity of the day.

  • I don't normally provide RAW or unedited files.

    Throughout a wedding day, I'll take a lot of photographs, including duplicates, test shots and the occasional blink or less-than-flattering expression!

    A big part of my job is carefully selecting the strongest images and editing them into a beautiful, cohesive collection.

    The final gallery is the finished work, and it's what I'm proud to put my name to.

  • I know how exciting it is to relive your wedding day, so I won't leave you waiting too long for a first glimpse!

    You'll receive a selection of preview images within four days of your wedding.

    Your complete, professionally edited gallery will be delivered within 8–10 weeks.

    I take care with every gallery, and I want to make sure your photographs get the attention they deserve.

  • Your finished photographs will be delivered through a private online gallery, where you can view, download and share them with family and friends.

    You'll receive high-resolution files suitable for printing, along with versions that are easy to share online.

  • Absolutely! They're your wedding memories, and I want you to enjoy them however you like.

    You'll receive high-resolution images that you can print for personal use, whether that's a few favourites for your walls or a whole collection for your family.

    For the best results, I'd always recommend using a good-quality professional printing service.

  • Yes! There's something really special about seeing your wedding photographs in print.

    I can help you create a beautiful wedding album that tells the story of your day, from the morning preparations right through to the celebrations.

    Just ask me about the options and pricing.

  • I love sharing the weddings I photograph, but I also understand that some couples prefer to keep their day private.

    If you have any concerns about your photographs being shared publicly, please let me know before booking so we can discuss your preferences and agree on how your images may be used.

A Few Practical Questions

  • Yes, I hold professional public liability and equipment insurance.

    If your venue needs confirmation of my insurance before the wedding, just let me know and I'll be happy to provide the relevant documentation.

  • Yes! I always come prepared with backup camera equipment, batteries and memory cards.

    Weddings don't come with a second take, so having reliable equipment and a backup plan is an essential part of how I work.

  • For full-day weddings, a meal is always very much appreciated!

    It's a long day on my feet, and a chance to refuel while everyone is eating helps keep me going for the evening celebrations.

    There's absolutely no need to give me a seat at the top table, though!

  • Absolutely! Every couple and every wedding is unique, and that's one of the things I love most about this job.

    Whether you're planning a traditional ceremony, a multicultural celebration or something completely your own, I'd love to hear about it.

    If there are particular customs, traditions or important moments I should know about, we can discuss them beforehand so I can photograph your day thoughtfully and respectfully.

Still have a question?

If there's something I haven't covered, or you'd just like to tell me a little about your wedding, I'd love to hear from you.

No question is too small, and there's absolutely no pressure.
