Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about booking
What is required to secure you for our date?

You’ll need to complete the online booking form and pay a £400 booking fee to secure your wedding date. This fee is deducted from your chosen package price.

 

Do you photograph weddings in Bath, Bristol or Salisbury?

Yes, I cover weddings across Somerset, Bath, Bristol, Salisbury and surrounding areas. I’m happy to travel and regularly work at countryside venues, city halls, and everything in between.

 

Are your wedding packages customisable?

Yes, if you’re planning something a little different or need something specific (like multi-day coverage or travel), I’ll work with you to tailor a package that fits.

 

Can we meet you and view sample wedding photography?

Yes, absolutely! We can arrange a mutually convenient location in the South West to meet up for a chat, or we can arrange a Zoom call if that’s easier. I’ll share wedding portfolios and albums and discuss your vision in detail.

 

Can we see a full, real wedding gallery before booking?

Absolutely. I’m happy to share full wedding galleries so you can see how I photograph an entire day from start to finish, not just the highlights. Feel free to ask.

 

Do you photograph elopements or smaller weddings?

Yes! I love intimate weddings and elopements. If you’re planning a smaller celebration in Somerset or the South West, I offer tailored packages with shorter coverage options.

 

What is the cancellation policy?

The £400 booking fee is non-refundable in case of cancellation, but it can be transferred to a new date if your wedding gets postponed. Let me know, and I’ll happily adjust your booking.

Before the big day
Do you have backup equipment and insurance?

Yes, I am fully insured with professional indemnity and public liability insurance. I also always carry a full backup kit of cameras, lenses, and lighting gear in case of any technical problems on the day.

 

What if something happens and you can't make it on the day?

It’s incredibly rare, but if something serious were to prevent me from being there on the day, I’d arrange for a trusted professional to step in. I’m part of a wide network of photographers and would make sure you're in good hands, with someone whose style and approach closely match my own.

Questions about the wedding day
Do you work alone?

Yes, I am very comfortable working solo, but I do offer the optional extra of a second shooter who comes at your request, so both preparations can be covered if you are getting ready separately. Following the wedding, I do all my own editing and album design.

 

How many photos do you take on the day?

It depends on the details of the wedding and how much coverage you require. For a full-day wedding, on average, you will receive 500 to 700 photos.

After the wedding
Do you personally edit all our wedding photos?

Definitely! First, I edit your photo collection to remove duplicates and duds and then work on the finer details. Generally, I like to get it right in the camera, but should a photo need retouching in some way, I have excellent attention to detail.

 

When will our wedding photos be ready?

On average, I will have your photos uploaded and ready to view within two weeks of the wedding day. If you have opted for an album, a layout design for this will follow shortly after.

 

How do we choose the photos for our wedding album?

I will put together an initial design for your wedding album and send you a link to view it online. You can request any changes through this online link, and I will update the design until you are happy to place your order.
