FAQ’S
WHICH AREAS DO YOU COVER? ARE THERE ANY TRAVEL EXPENSES?
I am located in the between, Lichfield, Walsall and Sutton Coldfield but cover weddings all around the Midlands and surrounding counties. If your wedding is further away, I am happy to travel but there may be additional costs. All of my weddings are bespoke as I tailor the packages to meet client requirements and will make any travel costs transparent in your quotation.
WHAT ARE YOUR PACKAGE PRICES?
My package prices are listed on the packages page which can be found here If you would like a second photographer, one can be arranged for you at an additional charge.
WILL YOU HOLD THE DATE FOR US?
Yes, i’m happy to pencil you in for a week to enable you to finalise things things. If another couple enquire for your date I will inform you to let you know. The date isn’t yours until the deposit is paid & confirmation sent over.
HOW MANY IMAGES WILL YOU PRODUCE?
A full day’s coverage produces approximately 500. Half day 250-300 approx. I shoot a few thousand on a full day and select only the best shots. I don’t limit the number of photos I produce, but equally I don’t release anything that doesn’t pass my quality control process.
HOW LONG AFTER DO WE GET THE IMAGES?
The quick answer is: as soon as possible.
I love editing wedding images so I unload the memory cards as soon as I get home and once backed up, I usually pick a few preview shots to edit and get back to you as previews within a few days. I know how excited you will be to see all of the images as soon as possible. During peak times I will aim to get your package to you within 8-10 weeks during peak season and within 6 weeks during quieter times.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE ILL?
Whilst I try my best to avoid getting ill as much as is humanly possible, we all get ill from time to time.
Unless I am bedridden with a fever, I will be at your wedding, unless you don’t wish to have me there with a sniffle.
In the extremely unlikely event that I am unable to attend, your deposit will be refunded in full..
WHAT IS A PRE-WEDDING SHOOT?
Engagement/pre-wedding Sessions are a great way for us to get to know eachother prior to your wedding day. They are not essential but are a ‘nice to have’ addition to your wedding memories. I produce a smaller set of high quality photos for you to keep and treasure. I usually take these in a nice rural are local to you. Some couples are lucky enough to be given access to their venue to to do a kind of ‘before shoot’.
CAN WE HAVE THE RAW IMAGES?
I don’t supply raw images for two main reasons. 1) They are as the title infers – RAW and don’t represent the hours of work I put into my signature editing style and 2) The files are enourmous and too big to share digitally.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT GROUP SHOTS?
Group shots are an import record of your day but I like to keep these to a maximum of 10-15 shots. They take up a lot of time out of the day which could be used creating beautiful portraits or candid shots of your guests enjoying themselves. There is always an essential guest that has nipped off to the toilet or for a walk.
HOW DO YOU DELIVER OUR FINISHED PHOTOS?
Photos are delivered to you digitally unless you are opt for a physical package (popular choice)
DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?
Yes. I am fully insured. I have full public liability and professional indemnity insurance! Venues may ask for a PAT certificate. This is not required as I don’t plug anything in at the event.
HOW DO WE BOOK
I take a £200 booking fee to secure the date in my diary. If you are ready to book, I’ll just ask for a few details so that I can send over a quote to accept, a contract for you to sign along with details of how to pay the booking fee!
