It’s unusual that my couples feel comfortable in front of the camera, that’s why a big part of my job is to help put you at ease. I’ll guide you as much as you need. It’s also the beauty of candid, relaxed photos. You just need to concentrate on having the best day and I’ll do the rest.
Reach out as soon as you have a date, it’s never too early so get in there before somebody else does!
Yes of course! These are really important as they ensure I capture all the important people but hopefully they won’t take up too much time so you can get back to celebrating. I suggest 6-8 groups. Of course you can have more but just be aware of how much time they can take up.
Now let’s not tempt fate, I would have to be extremely ill to not be able to attend your wedding and I know how important this day is for you so putting my sensible head on I realise there is a slim possibility of needing to find cover. If this was the case I would contact my network of amazing photographers, find you a replacement and pay them. I would still edit your photos in the style you fell in love with.
I’ll send out a questionnaire about a month before for the details I’ll need. Mainly timings for the day, your list of group photos and any details about anything special going on. We can also chat in person if you’re having a pre wedding shoot (included in my Full Day coverage) or would like to have a phone call/zoom.
Drop me an email and if you’d like to have a call just let me know. We can work out the amount of coverage you need and just talk weddings. Then you fill in the contract, send over £200 to secure the date and I’ll pop you in the diary.
You’ll get a sneak preview within a few days, while you’re still riding the wave of excitement to keep you going until you get the rest. Then over the next 6-8 weeks (potentially less in off peak times) I’ll work my magic getting rid of the blinking people, repeated images and extra chins. I’ll upload the final gorgeous collection to an online gallery so you can easily view, share, download and print your photos.
