FAQS
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR PHOTOGRAPHS?
I deliver your photographs as quickly as I can, to the highest standard I can. I say between 8-10 weeks - editing takes a lot longer during peak wedding season as there’s a lot of weddings in the editing queue. We photographers spend so much more time editing your wedding than we do actually shooting it - I promise it’s worth the wait!
HAVE YOU SHOT AT MY VENUE BEFORE?
When I started out, I thought that visiting venues before a wedding day was a good idea. But I very quickly realised that visiting a venue before the day, for me at least, doesn’t have any particular bearing on how I end up shooting on the day. I might visit a venue on a bright sunny day but come the day of the wedding, weather conditions and more importantly, what the light is doing, could be very different. What is going on during the wedding day itself - weather, light, the people, the atmosphere etc is what drives how I’ll shoot that wedding. An empty venue on a day that doesn’t have that buzz, really doesn’t help me all that much. It also can reduce creativity a little if it’s all planned out. What I do, is make sure that I turn up in plenty of time to an unfamiliar venue to have a good look around before I start photographing the day ahead. That is when I’ll find places for group shots and portraits. At least that way, I know what the light is like, or, is likely to be like that day.
WHAT AREAS DO YOU TRAVEL TO?
I cover the world if invited – visa’s permitting! Things to consider are, if the location is beyond 30 miles from Frodsham then I charge 45p per mile. If it’s abroad, travel and accommodation expenses will need to be considered.
