Questions
Do you travel for weddings outside Nottingham?
Yes, I photograph weddings across the UK including Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire. Travel within Nottinghamshire is included in packages, with additional mileage charges applying for further locations.
What's included in wedding photography packages?
All packages include professionally edited digital images, password-protected online gallery, USB delivery and pre-wedding consultation. Coverage durations range from 2-hour micro-weddings to 9-hour full-day events.
Can we request specific photo styles?
Absolutely. While my natural documentary style forms the foundation, I accommodate preferences for formal group shots (up to six recommended) and specific portrait locations. Customisation options discussed during pre-wedding consultations.
How long until we receive our photos?
Wedding galleries typically take 4-6 weeks during peak season, with micro-weddings prioritised for faster turnaround. Newborn and family sessions deliver within 2 weeks, with digital access preceding physical prints.
