Question 1

HOW DO WE BOOK YOU?

Accepted Answer

To secure your wedding date with me:   Head on over to my contact page and pop me a message, I will get back to you with my wedding packages or a custom quotation. To secure your wedding date with me a 50% non-refundable booking fee is payable along with the signed contract attached to your quotation

Question 2

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?

Accepted Answer

Once you have set your wedding date and secured your venue it is best to book your photographer as far in advance as you possibly can. Majority of my wedding clients book me at least within 6 months to a year in advance for their wedding day.

Question 3

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

Accepted Answer

At the moment I use a Full Frame Nikon D750 body (and have a full frame D600 for backup). I use a selection of Professional lenses like the 60mm, 24-70mm and 50mm.

Question 4

HOW DO WE KNOW OUR IMAGES WILL BE SAFE DURING AND AFTER THE WEDDING?

Accepted Answer

Safety of your images is always my main priority which is one of the reasons I chose the Nikon D750. It has dual card slots allowing me to create an instant back up of your images onto the second memory card. After the wedding I back all of your images up onto 3 seperate WD hard drives, my computer as well as on icloud to ensure if anything fails I have multiple copies!

Question 5

DO YOU NEED TO SEE MY VENUE BEFORE THE BIG DAY?

Accepted Answer

If I have already worked at your wedding venue then no. If I havent seen the venue before my second shooter and I will come to your venue an hour or so before we are scheduled to start photographing your preperations and take a good look around.

Question 6

WHO IS THE SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER AND WHAT WILL THEY DO AT THE WEDDING?

Accepted Answer

I have a select few of second photographers which I choose from to work with me at my weddings. They are all qualified and work within the wedding industry too. On your wedding day I like to think of the second photographer being the grooms photographer for the day whilst I am the brides. Documenting your story from both perspectives. They will photograph the groom getting ready whilst I am with the bride, photograph canapes whilst I photograph your couple images and fill in where needed.

Question 7

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT YOUR THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER FOR US?

Accepted Answer

Choosing a photographer to capture your special day is a HARD task! My number one piece of advice is that you need to be able to mesh well with your photographer in order to feel absolutely comfortable infront of their camera.    First, familiarize yourself with my work and if you love it get in touch. We can set up a meeting and chat all about your big day over a cup of coffee. Or book an engagement session with me and see if you feel comfortable with the way I work.

Question 8

WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH ON THE WEDDING DAY?

Accepted Answer

My approach is to document your big day in the most natural way possible. Other than the traditional family and group images I completely avoid any 'posed' images. During the couple photographs I will guide you and give you direction, but, it will be to do a natural action and not a posed one. For example I will ask you to practice your first dance, give eachother a kiss or hold hands and walk into the distance. So I will never leave you feeling lost or wondering what to do ;)

Question 9

CAN I SEND YOU A PHOTO CHECKLIST FOR OUR WEDDING?

Accepted Answer

The only list I work from on the day is the family/group images list as to ensure no one is missed. I prefer not to work from any kind of shot by shot list on the wedding day "bouquet, dress, rings, bride walking down aisle" etc.. It completely takes away the essence that is your wedding day and whilst constantly checking the list... I am missing atleast 5 beautiful moments happening around me.   With 6 years in the industry I am very much aware on what needs to be captured. But I am perfectly happy to get one or two special requests that may be out of the ordinary! Or if you would like to send me a pinterset board just to show me the style of photographs you love, I would love to see it! Not to copy it, but to draw inspiration from what inspires you.

Question 10

DO YOU REALLY NEED TO SIT IN THE RECEPTION?

Accepted Answer

We dont need anything fancy at all, as long as there is a comfy spot for us to sit, eat and put our heavy bags down. It can be outside of the reception area but nearby enough so that we dont miss any of the action.

Question 11

DO I NEED TO FEED YOU BOTH?

Accepted Answer

Yes please! We often start our day hours before your guests even begin to arrive and work up quite an apetite with being on our feet and on the move for more than 6-10hours, with little to no breaks in-between. Food keeps up our energy and sugar levels so we can stay up on our feet for those last few hours until the bouquet and garter have been thrown!   It is also a good idea to ask that your venue does not feed us last and rather about mid-way of serving your guests. So that we are finished with our meals before the next speech or toast, esuring we dont miss any action and we are not standing around photographing uncle Bob chewing through that big piece of steak ;)

Question 12

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY PHOTO'S?

Accepted Answer

Up to 8 weeks. It may be less, but never more!

Question 13

CAN I HAVE THE RAW IMAGES?

Accepted Answer

Nope, sorry. Under no circumstance do I provide the RAW images to my clients. It is an unfinished product, the file size is massive and the image looks overall grey...If it is more images you are after, I will gladly provide you with a list to select extra images from for me to edit at an additional fee.

Question 14

DO YOU EDIT ALL OF THE PICTURES?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I dont do any batch editing and edit each image individually giving it that special attention that it deserves.
