No Cheese
UNLESS I CAN EAT IT
What's next?
If you think I am the right photographer for you I ask for a 20 % deposit and a signed contract of course We can have a natter on the phone or zoom first
It's so important that we get along and you know that I am right for you , it's a long day and you will spend more time with your photographer than anyone else!
I am always here for you if you need advice, a shoulder to rant on or recommendations at all
Then around 4 weeks before your big day you will be sent a questionnaire and a choice of dates for a zoom link so we can go over your timing, final details plus your family dynamics etc
What's your approach?
shoot your day in a fun, laid back and natural way... photography that tells a real story and is not forced or faked. I just photograph the day as it unfolds, but of course include any group shots or particular pictures you may want and those all important couple portraits.
At the bar lining up tequila?..I am there!
I ask for your favorite songs and make a playlist of all your favorites so when we pop out for your portraits or you are having a giggle with your tribe you have your fave songs in the background
What's the damage
Depending on the package you have chosen I ask for a 20% Booking fee, this secures the date so its yours and yours only. Then there is nothing due until 30 days before your wedding. Second shooter /assistant options are only added on 30 days before and do not make up any percentage of your deposit
Do we need a second photographer ?
No wedding is the same and not all weddings need two photographers based on guest numbers or even the venue itself I can guide you on this when we chat but no you don't have to, if you are both wanting prep and its impossible for me to cover both due to distance and timings then yes I recommend one and also if you want a different view during your ceremony
How long are you with us?
If you choose the "Whole kit & Caboodle" package then I really will be with you all day, I judge it, if I know that I have captured everything then I will leave you guys to it but I have never left a whole kit & Caboodle wedding before 10.30 - ever! In the morning we will get to you at least 2.5 hours before you have to leave for the ceremony ( for any package)
If you have chosen the Kit or the Caboodle then this is til 1st dance (if you are having one) which is often around 8pm * if your 1st dance is due to be after 9pm then this falls into the whole kit & Caboodle package
Do you take us off for hours for couple portraits?
I do what you want us to do. You will have seen my couple portraits, I think that having some time alone just the two of you is really important. On a wedding day this tends to be the only time you will have together. These shots, I believe are some of the most important of the day so yes, we do need to set aside a little time. The easiest thing to do is to chat with me when you are working out timings with your venue, so that there is no rushing. I will give you very gentle direction and promise to make it fun but your wedding is just that, a wedding and not a photoshoot and I will never forget that. I have had couples say they are having a blast, let's take some more and I have had couples itching to dive to the bar - it’s totally up to you!
Do you limit the amount of images we receive?
No. If I am happy with the composition, colour balance, etc, you will get all edited images. Therefore my galleries are often very large in comparison to others
Do you have insurance?
Yes, full public liability insurance and professional indemnity cover.
