Frequently Asked Questions
- When do we pay the final balance of payment?
- Latest 2 weeks before your wedding date.
- Are there any hidden fees?
- The price quoted is the total cost and there are no hidden fees or costs. The only additional expense you may incur is if your wedding is outside West Sussex, in which case I charge on a case-by-case basis depending on the distance and potential hotel and flight expenses.
- What equipment do you use?
- I use professional specification Canon cameras and lenses. I use Canon professional flashguns, and also make use of hand-held video light for creative effects. I have portable studio lighting equipment which I can use if the situation dictates it.
- If I book you for one of your full day packages on my wedding day, how much coverage do we get?
- From experience I will be with you from bridal prep to +/- 30min after the main dance floor has been opened or until I feel I have the material I need to complete your story, it’s very important for me to capture the atmosphere of the celebration. This normally calculates to +/- 9 Hours of coverage.
- Can we print our photos?
- Yes of course you can, you have full printing and sharing rights and receive all your images in full resolution, you just can’t sell them for commercial gain.
- How long before we get our Photos?
- +/- 3 weeks. If you are getting married in peak season (Summer Months) it might take a bit longer as we do a lot of weddings that time of year.
- Do you use a second shooter?
- Depending on the size and complexity of the wedding, I will sometimes require a second shooter to cover parts of the day that I can’t physically attend to. I like to use people who are of a similar standard to myself (rather than a learner) as I believe that their images need to blend in well with mine in the final edit. The charge for a second photographer starts from £200. Please let me know well in advance if you would like me to bring a second shooter with me.
- Do you only do full days?
- For last-minute and mid-week (Mon – Thurs excl. Bank Holidays) please contact me to discuss your requirements.
- Do you have backup equipment and are you insured?
- I have personal liability and public indemnity insurance also a backup camera, extra lenses and flashguns.
- How soon do we need to reserve our date?
- As soon as possible. This year we’ve had quite a number of brides book us almost a year in advance. I require 25% of the total fee up front in order to reserve a day.
