Frequently Asked Questions
How do we secure our date?
A 25% Booking Fee secures your date in my diary, Full payment 30 days before Wedding date. Payment of the balance can be made at any time within the same tax year as your event date.
Please note: dates are not secured until the booking fee is paid and contract signed.
How many hours should I book?
Obviously each event is different and sometimes you need more of less coverage than you think – I will never try to over sell you on hours – adding extra hours just for the money isn’t my vibe – it doesn’t help me tell your story!
Bespoke Hourly 1-6 hours: Small Ceremony, Elopement/Micro Weddings – Arrival, Ceremony and Formals.
8 hours – Getting ready, Wedding party portraits before the ceremony, Ceremony, Formal Shots and start of reception OR Ceremony up to First Dance.
10-12 hours – Full day coverage, as 8 hours including first dance and evening reception.
Coverage is for continuous coverage for the time allotted.
How many photos will we get?
I don’t like to limit my coverage to a number, every Wedding is different and I like to capture everything from the shot list as well as those candid moments that unfold. From full day coverage a minimum of 400 photos isn’t unusual. But do bear in mind this can change depending on the amount of guests, how long your day is and how many group and portrait shots you have planned.
How will we receive our images?
High resolution edited jpegs will be supplied via and online private gallery. I aim to deliver a preview of your wedding within 1 week of the event.
RAW files will not be supplied under any circumstance.
I know you favour a documentary style – can we have groups photos?
Yes I do! Even though you don’t see many on my site. However, my style is primarily candid. I suggest limiting group shots to around 10 – not only do group shots take time, they take time out of your valuable day and guests can get a bit antsy!
You’ll receive a pre-wedding questionnaire to choose your group shots. Please be aware group photos take a lot of time and can eat into valuable cocktail and couple’s portrait time. Why not opt for a few main shots, family, wedding posse, besties…. then we can take fun group photos of everyone else as the day unfolds in a more relaxed, fun, natural style!
We don’t want a pre-wedding shoot – can we have a discount?
The Engagement/Family/Pre-Wedding Shoot is a complimentary bonus when you book a full-day package. The cost of which cannot be deducted if you decide not to use it. Pets absolutely count as family! bonus points for any dogs at weddings/shoots.
Do your packages include travel?
All packages include travel within 2.5 hours of BH21, excluding central London. Full-day weddings more than 2.5 hours away will incur a surcharge of £225 for accommodation and travel.
Do we need to feed you?
It would be wonderful if you could… As you know, Wedding days are long, from prep to reception is almost a full day in itself. Being properly fuelled for and during the day is vital for keeping energy levels topped up. Most venues will be able to offer you a “Vendor/Supplier” meal option which is cheaper than a head at the table!
I do, however follow a Plant Based lifestyle, if you’re unable to offer me a meal please let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. I will take my main meal break during your meal – no one likes having their photo taking while scoffing down on something delicious! If you are having speeches during the meal please let me know so I can work my break times around this. I always appreciate being fed and watered
Are you insured?
Yes, I am fully insured and have PLI should your venue require proof just let me know! I’m insured for £5m.
Do you accept credit cards?
No, sorry. I accept payment by Bank Transfer only. Your booking fee is only 25% of the total invoice. The balance needs to cleared 30 days before your date, otherwise photos will not be delivered until payment is complete.
What gear do you use?
I’m a Nikon girl. I shoot with with a mirrorless full frame set up and a variety of lenses, prime and zoom, lighting and back up equipment.
My cameras shoot to two card slots for real-time back ups and I back up your photos to an external hard drive as soon as I get home/to my hotel.
Will you “Photoshop” me?
In short, no. I do not “facetune”, “slim down” or “Photoshop” my photos. Retouching is limited to temporary blemishes. Image manipulation (often referred to as ‘Photoshopping’) – including but not limited to body sculpting, reshaping – is not included. My documentary style of photography and editing is capturing the memories and moments as they happen, in true-to-life colour and glory. You will pull a face when you laugh, or look a certain way, but that’s who you are and it is wonderful and it is why the person you’re marrying loves you.
