Prices and FAQ's
Let's face it, wedding photos are an investment. The day goes by very quick. The dink will be drunk, cake eaten, flowers wilted. Your photos are what will last you a lifetime. Something to help us remember the older generations. Potentially something you will pass down to future generations. Documenting these stories is an important job!
For all of these reasons it's an absolute honour to be asked to capture your special day, so if I'm doing it, I'm doing it right!
I shoot every wedding how I would like it to be shot, if it was my own! With maximum effort!

Pre Wedding/engagement Shoot
A fantastic chance to create some amazing photos of you both, in some beautiful locations, engagement shoots are super fun!
Let's have a chat about your hobbies, how you met, we can do something that really connects with you and your story.
Engagement shoots give you a chance to feel more confident in front of a camera – most couples have never had professional photos taken so this is a perfect chance!
If you are feeling shy, apprehensive or nervous about how you look in photos, then an engagement shoot is highly recommended!
Longer coverage
Starting earlier - Great to spend more time covering getting ready and prep. Allows time to bounce between two partners if you are getting ready at the same location.
Staying later - more time on the dance floor getting the great dancing shots. Creative night time couples/portrait shots using flash.
Drone Photography
Cinematic drone shots setting the scene showing the venue. Possibly even drone shots showing you guys at the venue, from the air. Adds another dimension to the creativity, it looks very cool, and tells your story from above.
Additional Photographers
This is really handy if you both want shots of getting ready, a videographer can stay with each of you. Plus get additional film and angles across the day. At both the front and the back during the ceremony. Additional angles on speeches. Great if you are having a large wedding with lots of guests and activities going on.

FAQ's
I already have a photographer/videographer. Do I need to book you for both photography and videography?
No. You don't need to have me for both photo and video. I am more than happy doing either photo/video. Sometimes I may not be able to do both anyway depending on my availability. I limit myself on the amount of jobs I take on every year. I would rather take on less jobs and have the time to edit them right than take the extra cash and rush these things out. Quality takes time, and my integrity is more important to me than profit. If I'm not available to do both, I have worked with a lot of other photographers/videographers. From these, I know a select few who work to my high standards but more importantly, I know I work really well. I have a few I can recommend depending on your budget.
Do you do destination photography/videography?
Yes I do. I just charge the same prices above, plus my travel and expenses. It is possibly more expensive than some of the hotels photographers I know, but the ones who I have dealt with usually have lots of hidden extra charges. If you are thinking you would like to take me with you, I would love to chat and talk abut what we can do.
How long till I receive my photos/film?
Generally the preview and trailer will be ready 4 weeks after your wedding day, and 12-16 weeks for your full gallery and film. This may be slightly longer in the peak season.
How do I book you?
First of all, fill your details in on the Contact Me page. For me to book the date out, I need a signed contract (this protects us both) and a non-returnable booking fee of £300. The remaining balance is to be paid 4 weeks before the big day. If it's last minute and money is tight, we can always work out a payment plan with a partial payment after the big day.
Can I book a package and upgrade at a later date?
In short, yes. I totally understand it can be difficult planning a wedding and working towards a budget, so upgrading at a later date is fine. Once you have booked me you will have me for that date. We can discuss some of the upgrades closer to the time if you wish to add them on.
How do I pay you?
Most of my clients pay me via bank transfer. I do also have a PayPal account, there is a small additional charge on this as PayPal charge me.
More questions?
If we have not already spoken, get in touch filling in the contact me form. It would be lovely to have a no obligation chat over a brew, Skype/facetime or phone call. I appreciate there is a lot to think about and I’m more than happy to help where I can.
