FAQ
Everything from booking and travel to timings and turnaround, gathered in one place. If your question isn’t here, I’m only ever a message away.
The sooner the better. Weddings book up quickly, especially in peak season, and I only take on a limited number each year so every couple gets my full attention. If your date is set, get in touch as soon as you can and we’ll check availability.
Almost every couple says this at first, so you’re in good company. My job is to make you feel comfortable, have fun, and capture natural moments without stiff or awkward posing. I’ll gently guide you when you need it, but mostly I’m watching for the real moments between you both.
Yes, both. You can book either on its own or combine them for seamless coverage. My team and I work together effortlessly, so you get beautiful photos and documentary-style film without juggling two separate suppliers.
You’ll get a few sneak peeks within a few days. Your full gallery is usually ready within 8 weeks, and the highlight film around the same time depending on the season, with the full film following shortly after. I’ll always keep you posted.
Always. I love capturing love stories in beautiful places. Travel within the North East is included, and for anywhere further afield I’ll put together a custom quote with travel costs.
My editing is a big part of the storytelling, so I don’t hand over raw files. Every image and clip you receive is carefully edited to reflect my signature natural style and the feel of your day.
Yes, full public liability and equipment insurance. Most venues will want proof and I can send it directly to them.
In all my years doing this it’s never happened, but if it ever did, I have a trusted network of photographers and videographers across the North East ready to step in, with my full notes on your day.
Yes, unless you book a package that explicitly includes a member of my small, hand-picked team. I’ll always be transparent about who’s capturing your day before you book.
Yes, and they’re brilliant for getting comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. A photo and video session also lets you bring your invitations to life. Available as a standalone or as an add-on.
Just drop me a message with your wedding date and venue, and we’ll set up a chat to go through everything. Once you’re sure I’m your person, I’ll send a simple online agreement and a deposit invoice, and the date is yours as soon as both are sorted.
