FAQS
HOW LONG WILL WE SPEND AWAY FROM OUR GUESTS ON THE DAY DOING PHOTOS?
This is what most people worry about and let me reassure you, my aim is to make sure you spend as little time with me as possible. I always recommend we do a few small, simple family photos (I usually say max 6 groups) which will take us no longer than 15-20 minutes, then if you want to have a wander around the venue to get a few artsy shots of the two of you alone, 20-30 minutes is great but let me know how important these photos are to you and I will make it work to suit. Sunsets are a bonus. If you're sure you want none of the above then the whole day can be purely documentary. I can chat to you about the options and I'll plan the time meticulously to make sure everything's a perfect fit for you.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED? DO YOU TRAVEL?
I've called Manchester home for the last 12 years but I'm originally from the North East. I know and shoot at all the local wedding venues in Manchester and in Cheshire but I love to travel, so I find myself road tripping up and down the country and beyond into Europe, for around 60% of my weddings. All my travel and accommodation costs are included wherever the wedding in England and Wales because I love getting to new places and being inspired in new spaces! It's not unusual for me to dedicate the full weekend to making sure I can be there the night before and the night of, in some cases. I love to feel part of the celebrations and it definitely allows me to feel the energy of the wedding on the day. Contact me for packages in the UK and Europe.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT HAVING YOU PHOTOGRAPH OUR DAY?
I've got bucket loads of experience, I'm very organised and I'm an artist by trade and I like to produce a varied set of interesting photos you'll want to keep coming back to. All the moments, all the colours, all the emotion. Some artsy portraits using great light and lines, plenty of documentary, beautiful scenes and details. You'll love having me around on the day ... it's often remarked how I was an invaluable help in various situations ... from 'aargh there's lipstick on the dress' to 'nobody's dancing!' ... I have many tricks up my sleeve if needed!
