I believe in capturing moments as they unfold, weaving them into a visual narrative that speaks volumes. My style seamlessly combines my extensive experience as a professional photographer and creative wedding photography.
A wedding package’s photo count will vary depending on the length of time you have reserved as well as the number of people attending; generally speaking, you should aim for quality above quantity, but for a 10-hour wedding day, you should anticipate roughly 500 images.
The price I charge takes into account the investment in training, equipment purchases, and also the amount of work I undertake. I average one wedding per week, so when I arrive at your wedding I am fresh and ready to go. Quality over quantity. A wedding requires skilled artistry, high-quality equipment, and dedicated time to capture and edit your once-in-a-lifetime moments beautifully.
Yes, always inquire about the photographer who will be photographing your wedding. Some wedding companies may send out “Associate Photographers,” but they do not really take their own pictures..
Of course, I work with a fantastic group of wedding photographers to make sure that, come what may, your special day is flawlessly documented.
The duties of the second photographer are to take pictures of the groom getting ready, candid shots of the guests, and perspectives that the first photographer is unable to get.
My Elopement and Enchantment packages only include myself, but you can always add a second photographer. Click here to find out why and when you would need one.
Because I only do an average of one per week, this helps me keep to my schedule of 6 weeks. When photographers are doing cheaper weddings, they need to do more to make a living. That means more editing and getting burned out.
No. RAW images remain the property of the photographer. Here’s why: Usually, we capture a series of shots and then forward the best one to the client. In other cases, my cameras catch the floor with my waist in the frame, and in other cases, the artist or creator must reveal the best rendition of their creation. You would not expect the chef at a restaurant to serve you uncooked ingredients.
You have invested a lot of money in your wedding; you should expect the best. Without going too technical, I exclusively use top-tier cameras and lenses; my cameras and lenses are insured for £30,000.
Yes, certain packages do come with an album, or better yet, a set that includes parent albums. The options page can be found here. I work exclusively with what most wedding photographers consider the best album company in the world. They are handmade in Italy, and more information about them can be found here.
This depends on how long your list is. If you assume that each group will take 3 minutes to assemble and then multiply that by the number of groups in your list you’ll have a good estimate to work with. I like to try and do the big group one first, before everyone dashes for the bar!
Yes, business and equipment are fully insured.
You should have a conversation with your photographer about where you think you would like them to stand. The choices you are limited too are either behind the officiant (sometimes unable to move) or standing in the aisle.
Sadly, the complexity of the value of photographs often does not make itself apparent until after the people within them are no longer with us. This is a hard truth to often accept, but hear me out: everyone in the family typically gets together for weddings and funerals. Why not pay to have one of these rare events documented properly? You will only have one wedding, so invest in it; you will be glad you did in thirty years. Look around your family home, the house you grew up in. Examine what is on the walls, on the mantelpiece, propped up against an ornament. Photographs record loved ones we have lost and happy memories we would love to revisit.
Yes, I will email you a contract to sign as soon as you have decided which package to choose. It is critical that we both understand our respective responsibilities and where we are.
If you have discovered a wedding photographer you want to work with, you should schedule them as soon as possible because they usually book up two years in advance. Click here to start your journey
