Frequently Asked Questions

A. Well that really depends on how long your wedding is and what you want covered.

If you want prep covered until first dance (usually about 8pm) and your ceremony is an early-ish one, say 12pm, then you are looking at 10 hours.

If you just want ceremony until first dance covered and you are getting married at 3pm then 6 hours.

What time I start is totally up to you.

Some other things to bear in mind is where everything is happening ie same place or different locations as you will need to factor in travel to for myself as well as you.

Do you want sparkler or firework photos because if you do then you need to think about what time it is going to be dark.

I am more than happy to discuss with you the timings of your day.

A. On average I deliver 30-40 photos per hour I’m there, so for a 6 hour wedding I would expect to deliver 200+ final photos.

A. No! If you’d rather not then that’s fine, it’s your day. There is usually time before the ceremony to get a few groom and groomsmen photos and if the bride and bridesmaids are getting ready at the ceremony venue then I can get a couple of photos too so you can still have some ‘pre wedding’ photos.

A. It will depend on the size, timings, locations and what you want covered. A big wedding (150+) requiring both couple’s prep, in different locations is ideally going to need more than one person. But you can book two photographers whatever size wedding you are having, with two of us it means that it’s more likely that different angles will be recorded and probably more guests and moments.

A. Yes I do! Weddings further afield from where I am based will incur travel costs. Please get in touch if your wedding is further afield.

A. If I am ill then I have a back up in the form of my husband Andrew who used to photograph weddings but now teaches photography instead. If he is unwell also then I have other wedding photographers I can call on to step in. I would still edit the photos to my style.

I am up to date with my Covid-19 injections so hopefully that will reduce my risk of catching (and spreading) it.

A. Not a problem, just get in touch and I will work out the extra cost.

A. Erm not really. The reality is that after the ceremony you will want to mingle with your guests, chat, have a drink and they will to. Organising loads of different permutations of family members takes time and takes you away from your wedding.

I would suggest about 10, but if on the day you decide you want a few more that’s fine too, as long as we have the time I am happy to do a few more ad hoc ones.

Of course it’s fine to have a list but also bear in mind that on the day people spread out, disappear off to the bar etc and sometimes couples’ decide they just can’t be bothered to try and round people up! I will do my best to get the group shots discussed beforehand but I won’t constantly nag you because you will get sick of me!

A. I aim to get your gallery ready within 6-8 weeks. I can also do an early ‘sneak peak’ within 24-48 hours so you have a few to share straight away. Your gallery will be active for 6 months from when I deliver it to you. You will get an automated email 2 weeks before it expires to remind you to pick your photos for your book if you’ve not already done so, and to make any purchases you require. (This email also goes to anyone who has registered to view your gallery too.)

Once I have your selection for the photobook it can take up to 6 months but if you have a date in mind for when you would like it by please let me know and I will see what I can do.

I can extend the amount of time your gallery is live for a fee of £10 per month if you contact me before it expires. If you contact me after it expires then there will be an additional charge of £75 to re-upload it as well as the £10 per month.

A. Unfortunately it is nigh on impossible to get a photo of every person at your wedding. Even if you have a group shot there is a chance that someone has nipped off to the loo un noticed or is hiding at the back behind someone else.

However if there is someone important that you want a photo of then tell me, include it in your group shots list and I will do my best but I can’t guarantee it.
