Notes for Future Couples
Planning a wedding naturally brings many questions — from how the booking process works to what it truly feels like to have your day photographed.
I’ve gathered the answers to the things I’m most often asked here.
Before booking
What is your approach on the wedding day?
As a wedding photographer, my approach revolves around building genuine connections with my couples and their families. I believe that every love story is unique, and my goal is to create a comfortable space where you can truly be yourselves. I focus on documenting heartfelt moments as they unfold, capturing the raw emotion and authenticity of your special day.
I prefer to take an observational approach, allowing the day to flow naturally. This way, I can capture those candid, fleeting moments that tell your story in the most beautiful way. While I excel in blending into the background, I also provide gentle guidance when needed, helping you navigate moments that might feel overwhelming or chaotic. My aim is to ensure that you feel at ease.
Ultimately, my photography is about you—your love, your family, and the memories you create together. I am here to document not only the big moments but also the small, intimate details that make your day truly special.
How can we book you for our wedding?
To reserve your wedding date, I’ll need a completed contract and a 20% non-refundable booking fee.
As soon as I have received your signed contract and the deposit, your desired date will be firmly reserved for you.
Are you available for travel?
Yes, I regularly travel for weddings across the UK. I’m always happy to document celebrations in new places.
Do you photograph a limited number of weddings each year?
Yes. I intentionally take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give each couple the time and care their story deserves.
This allows me to stay creatively present, build genuine connections with my couples, and carefully craft every gallery rather than rushing through a high volume of work.
What is the next step?
It's time to schedule a call.
On the call you can share with me your aesthetical expectations, requirements, ideas, dreams and wishes. If there are any further queries, this is the forum to discuss.
After the meeting/call, I will send you a contract. Should you wish to proceed, you will be required to sign the contract and pay a retainer fee of 20%.
Full payment of the remaining amount is to be paid 8 weeks before the wedding. The final invoice after the wedding day includes the additional hours, extra coverage, and add-ons if you decided to add anything last minute.
On the Wedding Day
Will you give us direction during the day?
Most of the day unfolds naturally without much direction from me. My focus is on quietly documenting moments as they happen so you can stay present with your friends and family.
During portraits, I’ll offer gentle guidance when needed — simple prompts rather than poses — so the photographs feel effortless and authentic rather than staged.
We’re not used to being photographed — is that okay?
Almost every couple tells me this, and it’s completely normal. You don’t need to perform or know what to do.
Once the day begins, most people quickly forget the camera is there. My approach is calm and unobtrusive, allowing you to relax into the moment while I capture what naturally unfolds.
Do we need a second photographer?
For most weddings I photograph the day alone, which allows me to move quietly and document events unobtrusively.
For larger celebrations, multi-location preparations, or couples who would like additional coverage, a trusted second photographer can be arranged.
Film PHOTOGRAPHY
Why do you shoot film?
I love film because it brings a soulful, timeless quality to images. The tones, grain, and organic look give photos a nostalgic, artistic feel that’s hard to replicate digitally. Shooting film also makes me more intentional with each frame — I truly see the light and moment I’m capturing. It adds depth, character, and a unique emotional layer to your photographs that digital often doesn’t achieve.
Are there different kinds of film?
There are different kinds of films. I mainly shoot Kodak Portra 400 because I like the versatility of the film, colour rendering and the skin tones.
Occasionally I will use different speed film like 100 or 200, depends on lighting situation.
What makes film different from digital?
Film captures light in a physical, chemical process — which gives it a distinct texture, grain, and tonal depth that many people find more emotive and timeless than digital files.
Can film look “bad” or imperfect?
Sometimes film photos can have light leaks, unexpected colours, or imperfections — but that’s part of the charm for many people. These organic results often add character and story to your images.
After the Wedding
How long does it take to receive our photos?
Your full gallery is typically delivered within 4-6 weeks. This allows time for careful editing and, in the case of film photographs, professional developing and scanning.
A small preview is often shared earlier (if digital was used )so you can relive a few moments from the day while the full gallery is being prepared.
How will we receive our images?
Your photographs are delivered through a private online gallery where you can easily view, download, and share the images with family and friends.
The gallery also allows you to order fine-art prints directly if you’d like to turn your photographs into tangible keepsakes.
Do you offer albums?
Yes, I offer carefully crafted fine-art albums designed to preserve your photographs for years to come.
Albums are printed on beautiful archival paper and assembled by hand. They become a lasting way to revisit the story of your wedding day beyond the screen.
