I will also take some BTS with my phone to send to you instantly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How\u00a0long does it take for all the\u00a0images to be delivered to us?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I know how eager you will be to see your images, so aim to deliver the fully edited images within 1 week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can we meet to discuss our wedding?<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/strong>Of course &#8211; that would be great! I can meet you in Maidstone or London.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many images will I receive?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your mileage fees if we are more than 75 miles from ME14<\/strong><br \/>\n\u00a30.45 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How far will you travel?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs far as you would like me to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your interests outside of photography?<\/strong><br \/>\nI 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).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What equipment do you use?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe right equipment for the job is all I can say for this. My current camera line comprises Nikon Z9&#8217;s and Z6iii&#8217;s and all the lenses you could possibly need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much experience do you have?<\/strong><br \/>\nLots. I have shot over 200 weddings and written a best selling book on wedding photography.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who makes your albums?<\/strong><br \/>\nJorgensen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What size will our digital images be?<\/strong><br \/>\nI usually crop them to 12&#215;8&#8243; so the file sizes are manageable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happens if our first dance starts late?<\/strong><br \/>\nI don&#8217;t mind a few minutes late but if it is more than 30 mins then you will be invoiced at \u00a3100 per 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why should we choose you?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs I am lovely!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any hidden charges?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do we see our wedding photos?<\/strong><br \/>\nI will upload them to a private gallery for you to download.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you deliver every image you shoot?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo I do not. I carefully edit them but very loosely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you hold a date for me?<\/strong><br \/>\nI am afraid not. Only a retainer will hold the date for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If we cancel is the retainer refundable?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo &#8211; I block off the date and more than likely refuse other couples for that date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do we see our album before its printed?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes &#8211; you see a pdf version.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happens if we lose our USB with our wedding photos on?<\/strong><br \/>\nI suggest you back it up with many sources although I do keep your images for 12 months at a minimum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your style of photography?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy own. It is a mix of documentary\/reportage and posed couple shots.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have insurance?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes &#8211; I am fully insured.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you take a retainer? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes &#8211; it is \u00a3500<\/p>\n<p><strong>When do we need to pay the remaining balance?<\/strong><br \/>\n3 weeks before your wedding date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do we need to book you know or can we wait? <\/strong><br \/>\nYou can wait but the chances are that I will be booked for your date in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will you require a meal? <\/strong><br \/>\nIf working whilst you are eating your wedding breakfast then yes. A hot, healthy meal is required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who chooses the album images ?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you choose to have an album then I initially design it. You may make alterations though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can we order albums at a later date if it\u2019s not included in the package?<\/strong><br \/>\nAbsloutely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long before we receive our album?<\/strong><br \/>\nUsually within 6 weeks of your signing off on it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you take credit cards?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes I do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happens if you are ill?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do we see the outtakes?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo &#8211; I edit very loosely and just delete duplicates and blinkers alongside genuine bad shots (we all take the odd one!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do we have to have posed and family photos?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo &#8211; but I strongly suggest that you do. I recommend around 4-12 usually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can we provide you with a list of shots we would like taken? <\/strong><br \/>\nSadly 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can we see some of the photos on our wedding day itself?
