FAQ's

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHOTOGRAPHY QUALIFICATIONS?

Yes. I have a Foundation, Degree and Masters in Photography and am always up for learning and trying new approaches to photography. I have been photographing for more than 20 years.

CAN WE MEET BEFORE WE DECIDE IF WE WOULD LIKE TO BOOK?

Absolutely, I would be delighted to meet with you in person prior too booking. I am based in Suffolk and we can meet if you are within a reasonable distance, otherwise I can give you a call to introduce myself and discus your options.

DO YOU DO ENGAGEMENT/PRE-WEDDING SHOOTS?

Yes. Engagement/Pre-wedding shoots are a great way to practice for the big day and help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera. It is a great way for us to get to know each other as well as chat about your upcoming wedding. Candid and natural moments are key and it’s about getting you to focus on each other and forget I am there. 

CAN I GET MY PHOTOGRAPHS ON A USB AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Yes, you will receive all of your images on a USB. All images will be edited individually with no batch processing, they will be high resolution and un-watermarked. You will also have the rights to use/print your images as you please. There will be no additional cost for minor Photoshop touch ups, e.g. spot removal. Editing takes an average 2-4 weeks.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

I shoot with the latest, high-end professional digital cameras and lenses. Your photographs will look technically amazing due to the high resolution, and you will be able to print them very large if you require. I always carry two cameras and extra lenses with me.

HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHS WILL YOU TAKE?

It depends on the amount of hours booked, anything between 400 to 800 images for a 10/11 hour wedding.

HAVE YOU SHOT AT THE VENUE BEFORE?

I try to visit a venue prior to a wedding, although its not always possible. I will always arrive early on the wedding day (1+ hours beforehand) to scout out locations and places for shots, if possible we can meet at the venue to discuss your ideas. 

DO YOU DO FORMAL FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS?

I can photograph some traditional and family shots if required. I ask couples for their input and will ensure I do family shots in the best locations. I will require a list of names prior to the wedding swell as any group formations you would like. Couples usually appoint someone in their wedding party to find the family members.

HOW LONG WILL YOU STAY?

For my full wedding package I will cover your bridal preparations in the morning right up until the end of the day when guests are on the dance floor. I am flexible however and can shoot just part of the day if you require.

HOW MUCH IS THE DEPOSIT?

I ask for 50% of the total price. The balance needs to be paid by a month prior to your wedding. Alternatively you can pay in full upon booking. I get booked up in advance, especially with weekend weddings, so please get in touch early to avoid disappointment.
