This is where we get to know each other. It is my job to help you feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Most of my couples tell me they feel uncomfortable having their photos taken, even the ones in my portfolio, who look super chilled out. But with gentle direction, no obvious posing and nothing cheesy, you soon forget this is a shoot and relax. We'll go somewhere pretty, explore, chat and shoot. This is when we get some really beautiful images. On your wedding day I don’t want you to have any doubt whatsoever in my ability, personality or the images I'll capture. This is too important to get wrong – hiring your photographer is not a tick box exercise – make sure you get the right one for YOUR day! (And of course, these shoots are really AWESOME! ~ what's not to love?)

Your engagement shoot (and all edited images) is totally, 100% complimentary, included within your wedding package.

I often get enquiries for the same date, so whoever puts down the £500 deposit first (or gives me the best compliments) gets the date!

Absolutely. Drop me a message and lets chat.

Of course. I'm covered for public liability and professional indemnity and all my equipment is insured.

Travel is not included in the pricing for my collections. As each wedding is unique, I love to learn about your destination and celebration before we discuss travel plans. I'll then customise a quote based on the location and number of shooting days. The travel quote is added to your selected collection and I'll handle all of my own travel arrangements, unless otherwise directed.

You’ve got enough on your plate ~ my thorough and detail oriented approach ensures you’ll have more photos than you could ever need or want, but I do recommend bringing to my attention any special people, planned moments, or unique details you’d like to capture that I might not know to anticipate. On your wedding day, please have the rings, dress, shoes, jewelry and any other heirlooms you’d like in the photos in the bridal suite. I'll spend the first hour of my coverage shooting your details and final hair / makeup.

I'm pretty good, but unfortunately I can't control the weather! However, worry not! We can actually use the rain to our advantage and get some gorgeous images, using the mood and puddle reflections.

This is what the engagement shoot is for! This is our time to get used to each other and work out how to get the best out of your shoot. After this session, you will love the camera! I always tell my couples that come the wedding day, you won't be thinking about me and my camera. You'll be enveloped in the emotions and flow of the day. I tend to take mostly candids to document your day in a very pure way. There will be a few posey photos, for example, the formal group shots and your couples time but honestly, by that point in the day, you will be used to me being there and I'll even let you have a drink before we start the formals ;-).

I don't like to tempt fate but I am very rarely ill. However, it is important to have a back up plan for this unlikely event. Only a very serious illness or actual broken bones would prevent me from shooting your wedding but if I am unable to attend I will do my very best to find you an awesome replacement photographer – I have a brilliant network of photographers I can contact so fear not.

Of course! These are really important, but I promise I won't take you away from the fun for too long ~ my couples normally ask for 4-6 groups.

I have a very hands-on approach to setting up a wedding day timeline ~ my goal is to ensure that you have the best natural light for every part of your celebration. (I am happy to work with your planner - if you have one - to give you plenty of time to capture all of your desired portraits and photographs throughout the day, with buffers to ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable experience). I will perfectly balance art directing, styled detail shots and portraits, and capturing the moments that happen organically through photojournalistic coverage. The end result yields a beautiful balance of people, details and emotion.

I remember very well the immense excitement of wanting to see your photos after the wedding. So you’ll get a sneak preview a few days after your wedding to tide you over and get you excited for the rest. I then aim to have the photos uploaded for you around 6 weeks after your wedding. You’ll receive your photos via an online gallery, where you can view, share, download and print your pics.

I'm quite obsessive about back ups! I have back ups of my back ups and cloud copies uploaded within 24 hours of your day.

Included in the package price, as standard, is: - an engagement shoot with your fiancée, including all edited images. ~ full day coverage, from start to finish. I will arrive at your bridal prep in the morning and I will stay with you until the evening party is in full swing. ~ all edited, high resolution digital files, on an online, password-protected gallery. all consultations and a pre-wedding venue visit; ~ an extra special, highly emotive highlights film of your day. Extras: ~ a second shooter is HIGHLY recommended. Whilst I am with you, covering the morning Bridal Prep, my second shooter can travel to the boys and cover their merriment. This means you will both get to see the emotion and joy of each others wedding day start. Not only this, but during the day, my second will be able to capture different angles, perspectives and more candids whilst I do the formals. This way, we don't miss a thing. From £199

I take thousands of photos during the day. Once back at my computer, I go through and choose the best, most emotive and genuine images for your gallery and edit these. But don't worry, you will have 600+ images to remember your complete day by.

You will receive all edited images in a high resolution file, via an online gallery that you will then be able to download to your computer. You can print them and put them all over your walls (or you can purchase beautiful, hand made wall art from me). But PLEASE send me a picture of your wall of images because this makes me so happy.

Absolutely! I strongly believe that your beautiful images always look better on paper than a screen. The albums I create are huge, with thick layflat pages, stunning colours, and leather or linen covers. This is not your average print-and-stick-in album. You can add an album at any point. Albums start from £349 and I can provide gift vouchers should your guests or loved one wish to purchase these as a wedding gift.

If an album is included in your collection, you will receive a first draft approximately 8 weeks after receiving your images. I will custom design and lay out your album drafts to best narrate your wedding’s beautiful story. When you receive the first draft, you have the opportunity to make revisions. These may include swapping images, omitting spreads or adding spreads. Once you have approved your draft layout, I'll edit the images for the last time and send you a final PDF to approve before proceeding to production. You can learn more about the albums and handcrafted products I offer here.

Connect with me and maybe we can have a Zoom call or a chat on the phone. I’ll help you decide how much coverage you need and can also suggest fun things for your wedding day because I LOVE all things wedding. If you book me, you'll have an extra wedding lover / expert / planner on hand all day!
