FAQ's - Weddings
Wedding photography should be about capturing the madness, the emotion and all those fleeting moments that happen in between. My role is to tell your story through the lens in a way that feels artistic, natural and honest. I never want your day to feel like a photo shoot; it should feel more like you’re hanging out with a mate who just happens to be a professional photographer. You’ll know I’m there when you need me and the rest of the time I’ll blend into the background and let everything unfold naturally.
Our journey starts the moment you book me, not when I arrive on your wedding day. From helping you plan a realistic timeline, visiting the venue and organising an engagement shoot, to simply grabbing a coffee and calming a few nerves; I’m here for all of it. Weddings can be stressful to plan, but they really don’t have to be. My job is to make the whole experience feel easier, calmer and a lot more enjoyable!
Some frequently asked questions to assist you!
Q1
Do you price your wedding services by the hour?
Yes — I package my services around set hours, but I’m definitely not running around checking my watch on the day. Weddings rarely run exactly to schedule, so if things drift a little (as they often do), you should never be worrying about whether I’ll suddenly disappear.
During the planning process, I’ll help you work out how much coverage you actually need. That means regular communication, attending the rehearsal when possible and offering guidance based on experience so everything feels relaxed, well-timed and stress-free!
Q2
How can we lock in the date?
Securing your date is nice and easy. Once the simple agreement is signed and the deposit is paid, the date is officially yours and locked into my calendar. Even better, your price is fixed from that moment; no surprises later.
From there, the fun part really begins. We can relax and focus on planning your day properly; timelines, ideas, must-have moments and all the little details that make your wedding yours. I’ll be there to guide you through the process, offer advice where it helps and make sure everything feels organised, calm and enjoyable... exactly how wedding planning should be.
Q3
Can you help us plan our wedding?
Absolutely and not just on the photography side. As mentioned above, I’m always very happy to help with planning too. After years of photographing weddings, I’ve picked up a lot of useful knowledge along the way, from what works brilliantly on the day to what’s best avoided. I have a great network of trusted contacts across the industry, so if you need recommendations for anything at all; venues, planners, florists, hair and makeup, bands or celebrants! I’m more than happy to point you in the right direction. I can also help you shape a realistic timeline, making sure the day flows smoothly without feeling rushed or over-structured.
Most importantly, I understand how special a wedding day is. It’s not just another date in the diary, it’s your day and I genuinely want it to be as relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable as possible. If I can help in any way, big or small, I will... When you feel calm and supported, that’s when the best moments (and photographs) happen.
Q4
Is there a limit on the number of images we receive?
No — there’s absolutely no “cap” on the number of images you’ll receive. The image counts mentioned in my packages are simply the minimum you can expect, not a maximum. I don’t believe in holding images back or putting an artificial limit on your memories. If there are great moments, genuine reactions and beautiful details from your day, they’ll be included. Every wedding is different and the final number naturally depends on what unfolds; the timeline, the energy, the number of events and all those unscripted moments in between.
My goal is to tell the full story of your day, honestly and completely, so you can relive it properly; not just the highlights, but the quiet moments, the laughter and everything that made it uniquely yours.
Q5
How do we get our pictures?
With all of my services, you’ll receive your images in full-resolution JPEG format, completely free of watermarks. Your photos will be delivered in a beautiful, easy-to-use online gallery, designed for you to enjoy, download, and share without any fuss.
The gallery makes it simple for friends and family to view the images and download their favourites too; no complicated logins, no awkward restrictions, just straightforward access to your memories. Whether you’re sharing with loved ones near or far, everyone can enjoy the images in the quality they were meant to be seen.
Once your gallery is live, the photos are yours to keep, print and relive whenever you like; because these moments deserve to be enjoyed, not locked away.
Q6
Do you edit all of the images?
Yes — every single image you receive is individually edited by me. There’s no AI, no automated presets, no outsourcing and no third-party editing houses. Nothing is sent overseas and nothing is handled by bots.
I photograph your wedding with a very specific look and feel in mind and the editing is a huge part of that process. From colour and tone to contrast and black-and-white conversions, each image is carefully finished by hand so the final gallery feels consistent, natural and true to the day.
Quite simply, I’m the artist with the vision from start to finish. When you book me, you’re not just booking someone to show up with a camera; you’re booking my eye, my experience and my personal involvement in every image you receive.
Q7
Can we catch up in person?
Definitely — I genuinely love meeting my couples and I think it’s a really important part of the process. It gives us the chance to make sure we’re on the same page, talk through your ideas and get a feel for what matters most to you on the day. Weddings work best when there’s trust and a good connection and that starts with a proper conversation.
If you’re local, I’m always happy to meet in person, just get in touch and we’ll arrange something. Obviously if meeting face-to-face isn’t possible, that’s absolutely fine too. We can catch up over a video call instead and still spend quality time getting to know each other.
I really enjoy building relationships with my couples, not just showing up on the wedding day and disappearing afterwards. The goal is to feel comfortable together, have a few laughs and hopefully become lifelong friends along the way.
I usually also suggest an engagement or elopement shoot ahead of the wedding. It’s a great way for you to get used to being in front of the camera, relax into it and see how I work... so when the big day arrives, everything feels natural and easy.
Q8
Do you come to the rehearsal?
If I’m available on the day, I usually like to come along. It’s a great opportunity to see how everything will flow, offer a bit of guidance if needed and help iron out any small details ahead of time. It also gives me the chance to meet your bridal party and families beforehand, which makes a big difference on the wedding day itself. Familiar faces mean everyone feels more relaxed and things tend to run more smoothly when we’re not all meeting for the first time under pressure.
Ultimately, it’s just another way I can help you feel supported and confident going into your big day; less stress for you and better moments captured naturally.
Q9
Do you travel for weddings?
Definitely. I’m very used to travelling for weddings and absolutely love it. The majority of my work has been in the Cotswolds in the UK and here in Florida, but I’ve also photographed weddings all over Europe.
Whether it’s a local celebration, a destination wedding or something a little more adventurous, I’m always happy to pack a bag and be there. Travel logistics are something I’m completely comfortable with, so it’s all handled smoothly and stress-free for you.
If you’re planning a wedding somewhere special, just let me know; I’m always excited to follow love wherever it decides to take place!
