Can we see some of the photos on our wedding day itself?
Of course – I will WhatsApp you images throughout the day for you to put on your socials. I will also take some BTS with my phone to send to you instantly.
How long does it take for all the images to be delivered to us?
I know how eager you will be to see your images, so aim to deliver the fully edited images within 1 week.
Can we meet to discuss our wedding?
Of course – that would be great! I can meet you in Maidstone or London.
How many images will I receive?
This is so individual depending on your wedding and how long I am there for. I would say 100 per hour of coverage is usually about right as I edit very loosely and keep as many images for you as I can.
What are your mileage fees if we are more than 75 miles from ME14
£0.45 per mile for anything over the 75 miles but if you are in Scotland etc I would fly and get a rental car but we can discuss that.
How far will you travel?
As far as you would like me to.
What are your interests outside of photography?
I used to be a Sommelier in a Michelin starred restaurant, owned a fine wine merchants and wrote two books on wine, so it is fair to say I love all things food and drink related. I also love to race triathlon over all distances from sprint to Ironman. I collect watches, limited edition whiskies and original art. I also own a beautiful classic car that I love to take out. I really enjoy travel and have done quiet a bit except for Asia (only Hong Kong) and Africa (only Cape Town).
What equipment do you use?
The right equipment for the job is all I can say for this. My current camera line comprises Nikon Z9’s and Z6iii’s and all the lenses you could possibly need.
How much experience do you have?
Lots. I have shot over 200 weddings and written a best selling book on wedding photography.
Who makes your albums?
Jorgensen.
What size will our digital images be?
I usually crop them to 12×8″ so the file sizes are manageable.
What happens if our first dance starts late?
I don’t mind a few minutes late but if it is more than 30 mins then you will be invoiced at £100 per 30 minutes.
Why should we choose you?
As I am lovely!
Do you have any hidden charges?
No
How do we see our wedding photos?
I will upload them to a private gallery for you to download.
Do you deliver every image you shoot?
No I do not. I carefully edit them but very loosely.
Can you hold a date for me?
I am afraid not. Only a retainer will hold the date for you.
If we cancel is the retainer refundable?
No – I block off the date and more than likely refuse other couples for that date.
Do we see our album before its printed?
Yes – you see a pdf version.
What happens if we lose our USB with our wedding photos on?
I suggest you back it up with many sources although I do keep your images for 12 months at a minimum.
What is your style of photography?
My own. It is a mix of documentary/reportage and posed couple shots.
Do you have insurance?
Yes – I am fully insured.
Do you take a retainer?
Yes – it is £500
When do we need to pay the remaining balance?
3 weeks before your wedding date.
Do we need to book you know or can we wait?
You can wait but the chances are that I will be booked for your date in the meantime.
Will you require a meal?
If working whilst you are eating your wedding breakfast then yes. A hot, healthy meal is required.
Who chooses the album images ?
If you choose to have an album then I initially design it. You may make alterations though.
Can we order albums at a later date if it’s not included in the package?
Absloutely.
How long before we receive our album?
Usually within 6 weeks of your signing off on it.
Do you take credit cards?
Yes I do.
What happens if you are ill?
This would be very unfortunate and virtually never happens. If it does I have a nationwide netowrk of people who are able to cover for me.
Do we see the outtakes?
No – I edit very loosely and just delete duplicates and blinkers alongside genuine bad shots (we all take the odd one!)
Do we have to have posed and family photos?
No – but I strongly suggest that you do. I recommend around 4-12 usually.
Can we provide you with a list of shots we would like taken?
Sadly not. This really stifles my flow and a lot of what you might request may not even happen. If I am looking for these images I cannot capture all those lovely natual images. You can of course specify family shots.
