What kind of camera do you use?
I will use a Canon 5D mkII; a camera specifically designed with wedding photographers in mind, and have a Canon 5D as a back up and second camera. I also use Canon professional ‘L’ series lenses for the best picture quality and sharpness.

Do you shoot digitally or on film?
In the same way CDs are better than Vinyl, digital is better than film; despite what some diehards may claim. A modern digital camera produces both better quality and resolution than film; digital files allow for post production enhancements and the recyclable nature of digital allows for a more cost effective pricing.

What happens if you are unable to make it on the day?
In addition to professional indemnity insurance that would offer compensation, I will do my best to provide a photographer with similar style to myself, via my network and via the professional societies.

What style of photographer are you?

We like the simplicity of your simply digital packages but can we order prints and albums from you too?
Yes, whilst most couples these days are very media savvy and enjoy the flexibility of the simply digital packages but I do also offer albums, prints, cards etc. Please see my optional extras pricing guide.

If we choose to order extra products like albums and prints is there a time limit to place the order?
No, unlike some photographers who set short time limits to force you into a quick purchase I prefer to let you buy any extras at your leisure when time and budget allow. If you want to come back to me in a week, month or year then I’ll be happy to help you with any request you may have.

When would you arrive and leave on the day?
Exact timings are dependant on the timings of the day and the amount of coverage requested. For my ‘all day’ package, I would expect to arrive in enough time to get shots of the Bride’s preparations, and I would not leave until after the first dance.

When will the pictures be ready?
I will do my best to get the images and web galleries finished by the time you return from you honeymoon, but due to any unforeseen commitments I can only guarantee within a month of the ceromony.

Will there be a pre-wedding shoot?
A pre-wedding shoot is included in my top end all day package yes. A pre-wedding shoot not only will result in some great portrait shots, but allows a rapport to be built which will help for a more relaxed wedding day.

What happens if it rains?
I carry plenty of lighting so we are able to capture great pictures both indoors and out.

How far will you travel to a wedding before charging a travel fee?
The package price is all inclusive of all costs, although I do reserve the right to charge a supplement but this is based on travelling time rather than distance. However, a complete package price will be agreed before booking and then this price is fixed with no additions for anything.

Is there an extra fee if the wedding and reception are in different locations?
No, I cover all the locations that you want dependant on the time allowed by each package.

If your package is not what I am looking for would you customise it to suit my requirements and budget?
I will always try to help and accommodate the couple and build a bespoke package if possible.

Can other people take pictures?
Of course! There are some photographers that will try to stop guests taking pictures, especially of the formal shots; as they use a price structure that means they want to sell as many pictures as possible to the couple and family and don’t want the amateur competition. Not only is my style a little more laid back, but the package structure I offer means I am concentrating on capturing the day to produce the best pictures and to capture the story of your day, if uncle Tom gets a few good ones too, then good for him.

Do you have public liability and indemnity insurance?
Public liability is covered to £2,000,000 and professional indemnity is covered to £75,000 giving you piece of mind should the remote chance of disaster happen, then you and all your guests are fully covered.
