I will absolutely try to do my best to meet in person however sometimes it might not be physically possible due to distance, my work schedule or yours therefore in case if for any reason I won’t be able to see you in person I will put in place number of video calls so we can still get to know each other as well as make sure we are on the same page in terms of planning your big day.

To be honest I think only professional models aren’t! Don’t worry at all- I got you! Throughout the day I tend to shoot in a documentary candid style so I could capture those raw emotions of the day and it’s much better for you to ignore (in a polite way, hahaha) the camera as only then we will have the opportunity to capture you both as your most natural, happy and relaxed selves. The same rule will apply to your guests 😊 In terms of your wedding portraits- again, I will try my very best to create a relaxed, safe and fun atmosphere so you could just focus on each other and so I could capture your love, passion and happiness. Having your photos should be a joyful experience and it’s extremely important to me to make sure you will feel comfortable and have fun!

Yes I do love to travel. I am based in the North West but I cover weddings all over the UK and internationally. Depending on distance an additional travel charge may apply.

Potentially yes but probably not as there are so many venues and 95% of my weddings happen in different places. I’m always excited to photograph a new venue as it gives me the opportunity to create new breath-taking images! As well I always do my research, checking vantage points and this combined with great communication will help us achieve the best results. I love to keep my couples involved in the planning process so that their photographs could reflect the unique features that both complement and help shape their beautiful relationship.

Yes of course! It is very important to see a few full weddings when choosing your photographer. In my portfolio you have examples of key moments from those weddings but at the same time this portfolio doesn’t come close to fully showcase the amount and variety of the weddings I photograph. You can find much more examples of my work on my social media pages which are updated regularly!

Yes and no- Technically I have two full time jobs hahah, I do approximately 40 weddings + per year which could be considered a full time job but besides photography, I also work for Barclays Bank as a Business Specialist and this is my Monday- Friday , 9-5pm role. Busy bee I am 😊

I try to deliver the pictures as soon as possible as I don’t like to keep you waiting for too long. As well as usually when I photograph a wedding I absolutely cannot wait to go through the material and see how they came out as well as start editing. On a low season you could receive your pictures within 1-3 weeks and during high season within 4-8 weeks. I have chosen to work within this timeframe as it will give me a good amount of time to pay attention to every small detail.
Funny fact- Did you know during 8 hours of photographing a wedding I would end up with approximately 3000-4500 photographs which have to be individually reviewed before I choose the best ones to edit? Which I then individually edit in line with my style. This is why post processing takes time. It’s not a quick filter trick. 😊
-
Yes, of course. I will upload all your edited images to a private online gallery that you can share with all your guests via a link.

I work with a Sony Alpha a7iii as well as a great Tamron Lens. On the day I will have an additional camera body and prime lenses as well as set of SD cards and spare batteries to keep me going. In terms of light – I don’t set up any additional lamps etc on the day as I always try to go for natural light. Although Sony Alpha a7iii is naturally powerful when it comes to low light- during winter months or late hours instead of using a blinding and bit intrusive flash I like to put a little artificial light outlet on the top of my camera which works really well.
-
Yes I am fully insured.

Unfortunately, I will have to say no to this one. This gallery might have over or under exposed photographs and other fruits of fast pace and pressured work as well as your guests with their closed eyes. The RAW gallery will never represent photographers skill as it's almost as if you would be looking at unfinished painting- there is so so so much more to this. I always want to give my couple what’s best and this is why once you decide which coverage option you would wish to move forward with we will have specified the number of photos on our contract that you will receive as well as my Terms and Conditions which will advise this.

Please feel free to send me a message via my website- you can fill out my contact form and I will get in touch or as well send me an email or message via one of my social media outlets. I do check them regularly and I’m kind of a slave to my phone so you won’t have to wait long to hear back from me. I will then ask for some information which I would require for contract purposes and send it through. Once I receive the signed contract and the deposit I will send you proof of deposit (most likely a screenshot from my online banking so you could be sure I have received it) and confirm our booking.
