What To Do If It Rains On Your Wedding Day
Hi! I'm Cat, I love to fit into your day seamlessly, whilst capturing your story in the most unobtrusive way - creating a perfect mix of candid memories and beautiful portraits to treasure forever!
FAQS
Will I have to spend hours away from my guests?
No! I have a well tested routine that means we capture all the best images with you never being away for more than 10/15 mins (if you are having pictures at the same venue obviously, I don't have a teleport machine!!)
I hate having my photo taken, how will I know what to do?
You just haven't played with the right photographer! I work with prompts not poses, there is no moving a little finger 3 inches to the right - who needs that level of stress in their life?! I have a really casual way of working where I ask you do to a couple of things and I capture your reaction to that prompt. No standing staring at me awkwardly posing at all I promise :-)
Can I have family pictures to keep Nan happy?
You can have whatever you want (within reason!) its your day! Older generations really to appreciate the traditional pictures though so I am always happy to do them. I do recommend limiting to them and I have a great routine for them that means they get done seamlessly, quickly and without your poor groomsmen running round trying to desperately search for Auntie Ethel that they have never met!
How long do you stay for?
For a full day booking I arrive a good couple of hours before the ceremony to allow me to capture all those little details you have spent the last however many months agonising over (usually a bit earlier but I don't need to be there at 5am to watch you have a shower - that would just be weird!) and I stay until just after the first dance. I tend to judge that by how the evening is going, if the dance floor fills and theres some awesome shapes being made I will be in there clicking away - if there is a dj talking to a bit of tumbleweed because everyone is too busy enjoying the warm air outside then I will make a quiet exit to go and start your sneak preview.
How long before I see my pictures?
Usually the same day! I normally do a sneak preview of around 20 - 30 images that tell a brief outline story of your day the night I get home - if I have a long drive or get held up it my be the next day but I guarantee its within 48 hours just to allow for any mishaps. Your full gallery will be available to view around 6 weeks after your wedding.
How far do you travel?
As far as you want! For mainland UK travel is included although accommodation may be required depending on timings and if its safe to drive home, it doesn't happen very often but I always like to be up front just in case. Obviously if you require a pre wedding dinner the night before covered then accommodation will definately be required. For the rest of Europe all travel and accommodation for a minimum of two nights (sometimes three dependant on coverage/timings) is required in addition to coverage. Please contact for bespoke quote.
