You can also add extras such as images on a usb stick, wedding books, and additional hours.
Please contact me for a brochure and to see if I am available on your wedding date.
The deposit is £300 and the remaining balance is due 4 weeks before your wedding date.
Legally, the person who took the photo owns the copyright. You have license to print the images and use them personally amongst family and friends. You cannot modify them (like instagram filters), or send them to your suppliers where they use them for promotion without permission. Please direct any suppliers to me for copyright permission if they wish to use the images commercially e.g., your venue, florist, or make up artist.
There is no limit to the amount of photos I take. An average amount of photos in your final collection would be around 400 – 500, but can range from around 300-800. More images can be delivered if I have lots of time to do them on the day, like for example after the meal there is a gap before the evening party, this can be a good time to do fun ones with your bridal party. Most importantly though, it’s the quality of the photographs rather than the quantity that matter. The RAW files are not available.
I have not missed a wedding in the 10+ years I’ve been photographing them. In the unlikely event should illness, unforeseen incident, or any other reason prevent myself from attending, every attempt will be made to supply you with a suitable replacement photographer. I am part of a vast network of wedding photographers of whom I can call on if the need arises. I will try my utmost to find another photographer, your wedding is very important to me, but if that is not possible I will refund 100% all fees paid.
Generally, you can expect your images to be in post production between 2 – 5 weeks. Once completed I will upload them to a private link which you can share with friends and family, as well as a lovely slideshow to have your first look! You can purchase a USB box if you'd prefer them that way. You have license to print them, upload them to social media, put them on the wall at home etc. Please though, do not share them with other wedding suppliers. If they wish to gain more business with the use of my images, ask them to contact me.
I bring backup camera bodies, lenses, and flashes to every wedding I capture.
Pre-COVID-19 I would have jumped at the chance, but alas, I'll need to give it a miss during the period where the virus is still present. I'll bring something for myself to eat, this way I can manage what I'm touching and minimise any spread.
If the virus has gone (yippee!) by the time your wedding date comes around, I'd be very grateful for a vegetarian meal.
My style is mostly focused on creating artistic, fun, and intimate images, and on documenting the day. However, formal group shots can be done too, no problem. On your pre-wedding questionnaire you can write out a list. I suggest you make it around 4/5, this recommendation is based on my experience at weddings where couples can start to feel rather tired with a long list etc. Be sure to give this list to a specific person, like an usher, who can usher those people needed for the shots. This makes things efficient, leaving you more time for mingling, more natural photos, couple session etc.
- I won't be able to get involved with the group shots or where to stand, as I won't know who belongs to which family bubble.
I recommend you delegate a person(s) to get those people together.
- The same applies with the confetti set up.
- I will be wearing a face mask and staying at a distance of 2m where possible. I will also keep hand sanitiser on me and use it regularly.
- Following Gov. guidance, I'll be sure not to touch anything e.g., the rings, the bouquet, shoes, dress, etc. Let me know if you'd like the dress photographed, and perhaps you or a bridesmaid can be prepared to move it.
We will be able to:
- still have fun and get married! It's a surreal situation, but as the song goes, "nothing's gonna stop us now!".
- We won't be able to do a large group shot of the whole congregation.
- If the number of guests attending (at any point of the day) exceeds the maximum number of guests legally allowed, I will have to leave as this is against the current Government law and compromises my professional insurance cover. No monies can be returned in this circumstance.
The number of guests currently allowed (from Mon 28th Sept) is 15.
- Booking fees are not returned for cancellations outside of lockdown, where it is still legally possible to get married.
- If you have to postpone your wedding to a date which I cannot do, and therefore cancel the photography, the booking fee is held.
