Frequently Asked Questions

Are you insured?

Absolutely! I’m fully insured, so you can relax knowing everything is covered and you’re in safe hands.

How far do you travel?

Anywhere your story takes me. Whether you’re getting married just around the corner or planning a destination celebration, I’d love to be there to capture it all.

How do we book?

It’s nice and simple! Just get in touch through my contact form, and I’ll let you know if your date is available. Once you’re ready to book, I’ll send over your contract and booking invoice to make everything official.

When is the full balance due?

To secure your date, I ask for a 20% booking fee. The remaining balance is then due 30 days before your wedding day or shoot of choice

How many photos will we receive?

I don’t believe in limiting memories or holding back the moments that matter. Every session is photographed with the same care, attention, and storytelling approach, capturing your day exactly as it naturally unfolds.

After carefully selecting and professionally editing your images, you’ll receive a beautifully curated gallery that tells the full story of your wedding. For a full-day wedding, this is typically 600+ images, depending on how your day flows.

My focus will always be on quality, emotion, and storytelling, ensuring every image you receive feels meaningful and true to your day.

How do we view our images?

Your images will be delivered through a beautiful online gallery, making it easy to view, download, share with family and friends, and order prints whenever you’d like.

What happens if you’re ill and can’t attend on the day?

Thankfully it’s never happened, but I always have a plan. I have a trusted network of incredibly talented wedding photographers who can step in if the unexpected happens. They’ll photograph your day, and I’ll personally edit every image, so you still receive the style and finish you booked me for.

Is there VAT on top of your prices?

Nope! The price you see is the price you pay, there are no hidden extras.

What happens if your equipment fails?

I always photograph sessions using two professional cameras, along with multiple lenses and memory cards. Everything is backed up throughout the day, so your memories are always protected.

Do you offer wedding albums?

Yes! I offer beautifully handcrafted luxury wedding albums, designed by me to tell the story of your day from beginning to end. They’re the perfect keepsake to enjoy for years to come.

Do you offer videography?

Photography has my full attention on your wedding day, so I don’t offer videography myself. However, I’ve worked alongside some fantastic videographers over the years and I’m always happy to recommend people I trust.

Do you offer engagement shoots?

I do, and I absolutely love them! Engagement sessions are a wonderful way for us to get to know each other before the wedding, helping you feel completely relaxed and confident in front of the camera on the big day.

Are our images copyrighted?

You’ll receive full personal printing rights, so you can print and share your images however you’d like. The only thing I ask is that you don’t re-edit them or add filters, as every image has been carefully edited to reflect my style.

Do you offer a sneak peek?

Of course! I know you won’t want to wait. I’ll usually share a handful of preview images within 24 hours. If you’d prefer to keep your photography session private and not have your images shared on social media, I completely respect that, they’ll be uploaded privately to your online gallery instead.

How long have you been a photographer?

I’ve been a photographer for nearly 10 years, and recently made the exciting leap to photographing weddings full-time. It’s an absolute privilege to do what I love every single day.

Modern, timeless photography for love, life and connection
