  • 3. Final Arrangements

    We will organise a date 5 weeks before your wedding for final arrangements - this can be done in the studio or if it’s easier via Zoom. Final arrangements is an informal friendly chat just to discuss all the details of your wedding - timings throughout the day, any family dynamics we should be aware of for family photographs, discussing what style of photographs you would like, any surprises you have planned so we can be ready to capture this etc.

    At the final arrangements the final balance of the wedding is due.

  • 4. Shooting Your Big Day

    The day has finally arrived - ahhh. We will arrive to your location(s) on time to start capturing the special day. No matter how how many weddings I have captured, it is always an honour to be asked to be someone’s wedding photographer and I will always be grateful. We look forward to capturing your special day and joining in the celebrations with you.

FAQ’S

  • Our style is very depending on the couple. I have enough experience to capture a wedding in whatever way a couple wants. Within one wedding there is many styles at any point in the day eg: fun wedding photographs with the bridesmaids and groomsmen, romantic photographs of the bride and groom, informal shots of the guests arriving at the church etc.

    99% of couples will tell me in their final arrangements that they want “informal photographs”. The reality is if I was to stand back and take informal photographs all I would be capturing throughout the day is friends fixing your dress, friends and family constantly borrowing you for a minute or two to take photographs of you on their phone. Although informal pictures are taken throughout the day as things happen naturally, we set aside an hour of the day dedicated to taking professional photographs of you as newly weds. I will give you guidance and take photographs of you going for a walk, having a kiss and cuddle, interacting with one another - this allows us to capture romantic photographs of you as a couple throughout the day without any interference that would’t happen naturally as its such a busy day.

    Most people do not like to be caught of guard for a photograph - especially your wedding photographs that you can only do once - so it is much better to be aware on your wedding day you are having your photographs taken professionally so you have the opportunity to smile, pose, fix your dress, top up your lipstick etc.

    If you cannot give us at least 15 minutes throughout the whole day for pictures with your partner, we are not the photographer for you.

  • It is much easier on your wedding day to have your photograph taken than any other day. As a woman you have the best hair, flawless makeup & an out of this world dress on you. As a man you will have a fresh haircut, new suit, looking suave for the big day ahead. You will be looking fabulous and feeling like you’re on top of the world.

    At the start of the day I will take you for a minutes to get you used to being in front of the camera. By this point from the discussion’s at the final arrangements I will already know what you like/ don’t like. These initial few moments ease everyone in then as the day goes on they get so used to the camera being there.

    If you really detest photographs I suggest you come well in advance of your wedding for an EFT Tapping Session and we can find out what the underlying issue is for hating photographs. I could go very deep here, there is a part of the brain called the precuneus that’s involved with phobias around photography;. Chat to me if you need more information.

  • I get it. This is probably your first time booking a photographer. That’s where my 20+ years experience comes in perfectly. I know who I’m right for and who I’m not. That’s where I have a process where it’s not just a case that you like the offer, package and my portfolio - but I’ll make sure we are a right fit so you truly get the best photos of your special day. I’ll make sure we are on the same page, and that I’m the right photographer for you or not.

  • This really starts in the final arrangements. We discuss openly about photographs and make a plan thet will work for you. Photography is all about light & composition, if there is something about your body or your features that you are conscious about please let me know more about this at this stage. Also remember digital enhancements are included with all collections if required. Eg: Suffering with a big pimple that day? Although its not ideal as you’re probably been working so hard to have the most perfect skin.. We will remove it from all your photographs.

  • From the beginning of the wedding journey I will give you tips and guidance on how the day will flow so you can enjoy the celebration but yet get the day captured professionally with ease.

  • Timings timings timings. The other big stress on a wedding day is the family dynamics particularly with parents who are separated and not speaking. We chat in final arrangements about family dynamics and plan different combinations of photographs. With many years experience, I am fast and efficient with group posing no matter how difficult the family dynamics are. Over the years I have heard many people say “OMG that was so much easier and quicker than expected”.
