FAQS
Where am I located ?
I am based in Colchester, Essex but travel all over the South of England and beyond ! My furthest weddings to date have been Cornwall & Manchester and love a London wedding.
Do I work alone ?
Not always ! I usually do, and am quite happy working all day on my own, but occasionally it's more ideal to have a second shooter with me. In those circumstanced I have a bank of trusted second shooters who have been working with me and would happily step into a wedding if a second shooter is required.
What happens if I'm unwell on the day of the wedding ?
I really hope this never happens but if I was to be unavailable on your wedding day then I am lucky to have a lovely network of wedding photography friends who would step in at a moments notice; as I would for them without hesitation.
How long do you have to wait for your images ?
Typically around 2 to 3 weeks for Intimate Weddings and 4-6 weeks to deliver images from a Full Day Wedding. At the height of a wedding season the timings may be extended by a week or two.
How many images do you receive ?
It would depend on your package & but as a guide you should receive : 200+ images for an Intimate Wedding 450+ for a half day 550+ for a full day 750+ for a full day and second shooter
What equipment do I use ?
I am a proud Nikon girl ! I own two Z-Series full frame Nikon cameras and love them to pieces. The backlit sensor is a little piece of wizardry within the cameras, allowing it to pick up detail in shadows that my naked eye can't see. I also have a number of beautiful prime lenses, all waiting to capture your day.
Do I do group photos ?
Absolutely. Just because I shoot the majority of the day in reportage style doesn't mean I rule out group shots. I usually advise my couples to keep the list short-ish or they'll end up getting quite fed up, but sort all this out with them ahead of the day itself.
Am I fully insured ?
Yes, I have both Public Liability & Professional Indemnity insurance & happy to provide insurance certificates if the venues require them.
Does it matter if I haven't worked at your venue before ?
I get asked this question quite a bit but the answer is not at all. In fact I love discovering new venues. I would make a point of meeting you at your venue to familiarise myself with it and discover why you have chosen the venue, so I can make sure I incorporate all your favourite spots in the photos throughout the day. I also like to check what types of trees are in the gardens [whether they are evergreen or deciduous] and make a note of the shrubs too, so I have a feel of what would look good at different times of the year. However, if you have any further concerns please just ask me.
Do I offer Black & White images ?
I always photograph everything in colour and provide couples with a full-colour gallery with a few images that work fabulously in black & white. If you have a particular preference then please just let me know.
