FAQs
What is your wedding photography style & approach?
My wedding photography style is documentary - relaxed, natural/candid, storytelling, unobtrusive ‘fly on the wall’ style let’s you enjoy the day and trust me to capture beautiful images that tell the story.
With all day photography, how many hours do you stay for?
With my all day photography, I generally start 3 hours before the ceremony to capture the build-up and getting ready photos and I'll be with you all day until late into the evening, often 10am to 10pm in summer months. I’m definitely not a wedding photographer who has the car running straight after first dance. I’m there for at least an hour after your first dance, capturing the party which I love.
Do you edit the photos / video too?
Yes I do all my own editing in the style you see across my website and never outsource.
Can we order a wedding album?
Yes you can use my website gallery to design and order a professional wedding album. I provide a 25% discount to use within 2 years of your wedding day.
Do you offer a second photographer?
Yes I have a handful of professional photographers who regularly work with me. Once I know your wedding plans, I can give you recommendations.
Can we share photos/videos with family and friends?
Yes your edited photos (and video if you’ve chosen to have video) is all presented in a professional website gallery that you can share with friends and family and anyone with access can download photos.
From the gallery shop, order professional prints, framed photos etc.
It is all backed up in the cloud for a minimum of 4 years.
We’re having a get together the night before our wedding, would you be able to capture that too?
Yes I’ve photographed many pre wedding day parties which are always lovely to capture. I’ve also captured the day after the wedding such as a bbq, beach party etc. Just let me know your plans and I’m happy to tailor a package for your celebrations.
We’d like some group photos with family and friends, is that ok?
I capture group photos at almost every wedding and these can be as formal or informal as you like.
How should we act/be in front of the camera?
I’m a strong believer that natural candid photos are best where you’re relaxed and being yourselves, ignoring the camera.
You'll notice in my photos that apart from group photos, very few images have people looking direct at the camera, looking at each other yes, at the camera, not so much.
Many couples who are shy, awkward or nervous about having their photo taken say how my pre-wedding photo session really helped on their wedding day.
