Short Wedding Veils for the Chic and Timeless Bride
Hello! I'm Shelby, UK & destination wedding photographer based in Kent. I love what I do - it's a privilege to capture a couple's happiest day, and I'd be honoured to do it for you too. Get in touch!
FAQS
How many hours are included in your packages?
ALL of my packages include full day coverage from morning prep to just after the first dance. Rather than cap my services at a certain number of hours I work with the schedule of your day to ensure that no special moments are missed. As a guide, I generally suggest my arrival 1.5-2 hours before the ceremony to capture prep, and finishing around 30 minutes after the first dance to capture all those dancefloor party shots!
How soon after the wedding will we receive our photos?
This typically depends on the time of year (i.e. longer in peak season), but even though my contract states 4-6 weeks I tend to deliver wedding galleries much quicker than this - 2-3 weeks if I don't have a lot of backlog!
How many photos will we get?
I get asked this question with almost every enquiry, and it really is a "how long is a piece of string?" kind of question! The number of images I can deliver depends entirely on your wedding - the length of the day, number of guests, and whether you have a second shooter are all factors. As a really rough estimation I would say for a full day wedding covering bridal prep to first dance with no second shooter, a minimum of 600 images can be expected. But as I say, this is entirely dependant on each individual wedding and I have been known to deliver more than double this amount on numerous occasions! Also, the more beautiful details you have for me to capture the better :)
Are you insured?
Yes! As well as having all of my equipment insured, I also have £5million Public Liability cover - which is required by some larger or historic venues in order to work there.
Do you travel?
Absolutely - both within the UK and abroad. I have been lucky enough to photograph weddings in such amazing locations as France, Italy, Greece and the Channel Islands - nowhere is too far! Please do get in touch if you're marrying abroad, I would love to hear from you.
Can we meet you before the big day?
Of course! I actually offer a pre-wedding shoot with all of my packages because I really believe these are so beneficial to each and every couple. Not only is this a great chance for us to meet and discuss all the details of your wedding day, but also for you to see how I work and allow you both to be more comfortable in front of the camera. Most couples tell me they are camera-shy or have feelings of awkwardness at being photographed. This is totally normal! In most cases you haven't done anything like this before, which makes the pre-wedding shoot even more important. Think of it like a practice run for your couple portraits on the big day :)
