FAQ's
How long are you with us on the day for?
Can be most of the day! From bridal preparations (approximately 1-2 hours before the ceremony) through to the first dance (approx 8.30pm).
When should we do the pre-wedding shoot?
Well I’ve done them 3 months to a matter of 2 weeks beforehand, but we’d chat and decide upon what was best for you both beforehand.
How long before we can see our wedding photographs!
Approximately 3 weeks after the wedding!
What if we want more than 60 images in the album?
You might very well want more in your album and it can be done , additional images for the digital albums are £15 per image and £25 per image for the Queensberry albums
Am I OK to re-print images from my CD?
Yes of course! The CD is included in the packages so you can fill those frames you get at Christmas with beautiful memories from your wedding day. You CD includes copyright permission to re-print for your personal use.
Are you available on…?
If you like everything so far then I hope I am! Contact me either via email, through the contacts page or better still call me to ask.
Do you ‘airbrush’ and use Photoshop?
Absolutely! All your images you choose for the album will be completely ‘finished’ in my style and you can be safe in the knowledge that should a spot appear on the day – it will be gone from your album. I also finish all images that appear on my blog which you will also have on your CD.
What do I need to do to secure you as our wedding photographer?
Get in touch and tell us when you need us, if all is well and we are available then you need to complete a contract/booking form and once we have received your £500 non refundable deposit you are booked in and the fun can commence!
What if it rains?
We take shots with umbrellas and of course indoors. There is always an alternative plan should the weather not behave!
Will you have purple in your hair when you shoot our wedding? (yes I really have been asked this several times!!)
Yes, It’s very likely that I will, but it’s only a little!
What do you wear on the day?
Something comfortable and smart but I have to be practical as well…definitely thermals and layers for winter weddings and cool trousers for the summer, unfortunately my high heels are usually left at home!
How do you feel about shooting a group shot from a sissor lift?
(The first thing one of my favourite clients this year who had their wedding on their own farm said to me when we met)
Fine! If it’s secure….which it was!
Do you have insurance?
Yes, absolutely and of course… we have Public Liability and Personal Indemnity
Can I meet you and see examples of your work?
Yes of course – would love to see you, I make a good cup of coffee and am a good listener, so make an appointment and let’s talk some more.
Have you shot at my venue before?
I always say that it’s the couple I want to know before the wedding. A building can be sussed out and great locations found beforehand. If it’s within range and I have not shot there before I like to go and do a reccy beforehand. If it’s a long way I usually stay locally the night before your wedding and so would be able to visit the venue then.
How many group shots should we go for?
I would advise really no more than 6 as you will just tire of it and be spending too much time away from your guests and enjoying your day!
Do you have an assistant or work with a second shooter?
For winter weddings I always have an assistant to help with carrying kit and holding lights and helping with light painting etc. Second shooters are available at an additional charge of £195 and I have several that I work with.
Got a question I have not answered here? Give me a call and I will gladly answer it!
