authentic cinematic wedding photography.

With COVID around, people started to realise that we are human too, and yes we get sick too, we also have families who get sick.  If for any reason I think I will not be able to shoot your wedding. The first thing I will do is have a backup ASAP, this is where the wonderful world of social media comes in. Throughout COVID and even before the dreaded C word. I have always had a network of amazing supplier friends, some I have still not met many I have and many I have helped out when they have been in trouble. So first I will reach out to them, they then reach out to their supplier friends and so on and so on. It’s why I will always cover for another photographer if I can. If you have a look at my supplier friends sheet, these are people I have worked with in the past, people I trust and people I can depend on.  Im also part of an emergency group covering the UK.

Well that depends on the reason and when you cancel, if you have decided to change your date and I am available I will try to accommodate you and transfer your booking over to the new date. A lot of work goes into the admin of weddings so if you decide to cancel altogether you will receive any monies paid minus your booking fee which cover the admin/calls and replying to emails, messages etc. You will relieve your money back within 60 days.  This does not include if you cancel within 14 days of your wedding. I am human though, please talk to me. If something has happened that I can help with, I will try.

Obviously if another Pandemic comes along then, all rules fly out the window and please just give me a call and we can talk about a plan. 

Hey we are all self conscious, if there’s something you are worried about before your wedding talk to me, if there’s a way I can make you feel more comfortable I will try.  If its after your wedding and you still don’t like yourself in photos then it’s time for wine and a catch up. So many people are used to posting heavily edited images of themselves on social media, and I don’t advocate that. I think everyone should love themselves as they are but as your photographer talk to me. I would rather do some tweaking to make you love the photos then know you are struggling to show them because where I may see beauty you may only see flaws. Photoshop is a tool that can be used to enhance but thats only what it should do. If you want specific adjustments on photos please talk to me. I will tell you honestly what can and can’t be done.

No, if you are happy for me to share, I will as its how I can promote my business but if you want me to specifically not post to social media, then I won’t. I will always respect your privacy and choices.

Hell yes!!

See above

Yes I offer couple shoots, these are £200 and come off your final balance when you book me as your wedding photographer.  If you have already booked then these are included within your booking.

Yes, these can be ordered from the day you receive your images. They are not included in packages.

I no longer include albums in my packages, these are added on and paid separately because quite frankly I hate chasing clients whom have paid for an album but never get round to picking their images. Therefore when you order your album you will be asked for your favs….I know its hard to choose but until you pick you can’t get an album.. My favourites will never be your favourites because it’s not my friends and family in the pictures. 

With certain packages a second shooter is included, if you have not picked a package with a second shooter included but wish to add them on it is £250 extra.

Full day packages I arrive usually around 10.30am and leave at 4th dance.  If you wish me to arrive earlier or stay later this can be discussed and a supplement will be added.

Of course but as it interferes with my break time, a supplement again will be added.

No you don’t, it is always appreciated, never expected. If a meal is not provided I am happy to seek out a nearby take-away.  If you are getting married where there is nothing within a few miles radius I will ask you to provide a hot meal, nothing extravagant soup and a sandwich is fine. Only because I do not want to leave your venue and risk any possible chance of being late back.

I do a fast track service, this obviously means you jump the editing queue but so as not to hold the queue up this is done in what would be my free time so costs a premium.

Photos – 1 week turnaround £300 

Video – 3 week turnaround £500

Can you cut people out of the photos/video

Video – Probably not, I will where I can

Photographs – Depends on the photograph, if it’s a group shot a premium will be charged as this needs to be outsourced. 

I have a whole network of videographers who shoot with me so it depends on your date.  When you book a joint package with myself I provide videographers whom I trust implicably. Often I will do the editing or I will ask them to depending on my workload at the time.  They will edit in my style.

Me 

I can do it but id rather not, its a skill and very stressful. I have done it in the past when brides have been let down.  I do now offer though ceremony video add-ons. If you don’t have the budge for a joint package but specifically want your ceremony filmed. I can do this at a supplement of £300.

Of course!! And if anyone spots anything on my website that doesn’t feel inclusive, please let me know. I am always trying to do better.

With patience and decorum, again I always ask if there are any situations I should be aware off. Families can be difficult, no judgement here I just want to make your day as amazing as I can.

I am not a robot, I am human, talk to me and we will work it out. 

I have done in the past, and I will do again. If anyone knows of a situation where a bride or groom is terminally ill please talk to me, I will try and help if I can.
