How would you describe your style?

Relaxed, creative, personal and professional.

I have never taken two sets of wedding images that look the same as I think that your personalities should be reflected in your photographs and your album should be a story book of your day with all the little emotions and details which make your day unique.

I am looking for relaxed, natural looking images but I would also like some particular shots of friends and family – is this possible?

Yes! A well designed album will usually contain a variety of images ranging from natural, candid shots, which convey the little moments and details of your day, to shots of the two of you together and, usually, some group photographs.

My style is relaxed and natural with most of the images taken as things are happening, so that you don’t have to spend ages hanging around for photographs and can just enjoy yourselves. Most couples also have some family group images taken as well but without this taking up too much time.

Can I have a mixture of black and white and colour photographs?

Yes. As the photographs are taken digitally, any image can be turned to black and white.

Do you have any limit on the number of images you take and how many images can I expect to have?

I don’t put any limit on the number of images I take, as I like to be able to shoot freely without any restriction.

In terms of numbers, this very much depends on the day you are having and what you have asked me to do.  A large wedding in July with good weather will probably result in more images than a smaller wedding in November and if I am taking pictures of you getting ready before the ceremony, then you will end up with more photographs than if I start just before the ceremony.

I am not sure about the timings and how long everything will take – help?!

Getting the timings right is really important to make your wedding day relaxing and it really helps to plan your day out carefully in advance. I will meet you beforehand at your venue/s to have a look around and discuss the opportunities for shots with you.  Your wedding photography should fit around the way you want to spend the day, but you do need to make sure you allow enough time for me to take the images you want.

We will decide where to take shots in good and bad weather and sort out the timings out so you can have the day you want without worrying about timings on the day itself.

How long will you spend taking photographs on the day? This depends on which album and coverage option you choose, but usually, from the preparations before your ceremony of the bride getting ready (if you would like those shots) and groom and best man through until you sit down for your wedding breakfast.  There are also some album and coverage options if you would like photographs taken of your speeches or first dance.

I am interested in having a pre-wedding shoot – Is this something you do?

Yes.  A pre-wedding shoot is a great way to spend some time together before your big day and for me to capture you and your relationship in a relaxed and natural way. It’s also a great opportunity to get some images you can use for your wedding, for example your favourite image from the session mounted for your guests to sign, or a selection of images presented in a small album.

Pre-wedding shoots are included in some of the album and coverage options and with others there is an addidional fee.

Do you have any references you can supply us with?

Yes – lots of them!  You can see a number of extracts from thank you cards on the thank yous page. I would also be happy to put you in touch with any of my couples.

I like the look of the images on your site, but I would really like to see some albums – how can I do this?

I would be very happy to meet up with you and show you some albums of complete weddings.  I also think it is very important to be comfortable with your wedding photographer and for your photographer to understand how you want your day to be recorded so I am happy to take the time to meet you and discuss what you are looking for in more detail.

I offer appointments Monday to Thursdays during the daytime and in the evenings between 5pm and 7pm so feel free to give me a ring on 01761 492559 to book an appointment.
