Hey, I have a question…

If you don't see your question answered below, head on over to my contact page and I'll be happy to help you out!

Can you give me an idea of how each package works?

How will we receive our images?

I know you favour a documentary style, but can we have group 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?

Do we need to feed you?

Yes please. For full-day bookings I do ask that I am supplied with a vendor meal. As you know, Wedding days are long, from prep to reception is almost a full day in itself. Being properly fueled for and during the day is vital for keeping energy levels topped up.

I do, however follow a Vegan lifestyle, if you're unable to offer me a plant-based meal please let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly, this may mean leaving the venue. I will take my main meal break during your meal – no one likes having their photo taking while scoffing down on something delicious! This also gives me time to check over the rest of the schedule for the day and swap out batteries and do other not-so-interesting behind-the-scenes things. 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.

How many images will we get?

Do your packages include travel?

Can you please "Photoshop" / "Facetune" our photos?

In short, no.

I donot “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.

How do we secure our date?

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, including back up equipment that I always bring with me. 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.

I am fully insured and have public liability cover up to £5,000,000. I am also triple vaccinated against Covid-19.

Do you accept credit cards?
