FAQs

This has been a real problem over the last year, but it’s one where I’ve tried to be as fair as possible with couples. If you have to postpone due to government restrictions, I have been moving couples dates free of charge at no extra cost. If you do move to a date where I’m unavailable, then I have been refunding deposits. 

If you do decide to go ahead with a smaller wedding than planned, then I have been adjusting the package price accordingly where less coverage is required.

This way you know you are not going to loose out financially if things out of your control change!

Yes I love to travel for weddings! My standard pricing covers locations within 1 hour of where I’m based in Matlock Derbyshire, but I am more than happy to travel right across the UK and internationally. Travel and accommodation (where required) will be charged at a reasonable rate – please get in touch to discuss further if you are looking to book a destination wedding.

Even at the busiest times of the year, my turn around time is usually within 3 weeks. This means you can share your pictures as soon as possible after the big day!

I’m asked this all the time, and lets face it, the last thing you want at a wedding is for your guests to be stood around for ages while endless family photographs are taken, especially when the bar is open! For the vast majority of my weddings, group photographs take no longer than 15 minutes, and couple shots take around 15-20 minutes before the meal, and maybe 10-20 minutes out of your evening reception. This means that you and your guests get plenty of time to enjoy your day and party!

This varies massively. I say that I full day includes a minimum of 300 images, but typically a full day wedding is 450+ images, and can be as many as 900, all depending on just how much happens on the day. 

Yes! I am a fully qualified and insured drone pilot and use this mainly to get an aerial shot of your venue (wherever possible) and also I occasionally use this for couple shots when we get the right kind of light.

Yes of course – all images are fully edited and are provided in full resolution without any watermarks. You can use these as you wish for personal use. If you would like to use any of your images for commercial use, please get in touch to discuss this further.

This is a really common question so I know couples often worry about this! If I was to have a serious illness on your wedding day, I have a number of photographers who I know who shoot in a similar way to me who I know I could call on if this ever happened.

I’ve always been a big believer in being just as smart as guests at weddings, it’s one of the ways I manage to blend in so well! So I always wear a tie, waistcoat and dark trousers (not jeans!).

Yes I have all 3 of the above which are essential for any professional photographer. If your venue requires any documentation before the day, I will be more than happy to send this across.

I take a £300 deposit to secure a booking. Once this is paid the package and price are fixed and I will not take any further bookings for your date.

Part of having over 10 years experience shooting weddings means that I always have numerous ‘plan B’s’ up my sleeve whatever the weather. Some of my best ever photographs have been when it’s raining (check them out on the portfolio page), so you can rest assured that I have plenty of tricks to get the best from your photographs, whatever the situation.
