Questions
What photography style do you specialise in?
I focus on candid, documentary-style photography that captures authentic moments naturally. While I take formal family portraits, 99% of coverage is unposed to preserve genuine emotions and spontaneous interactions throughout your day.
How many weddings do you photograph annually?
I limit bookings to 30 weddings per year to maintain quality and personal service. This ensures full attention to each couple's needs while maintaining the high standards that earned multiple industry awards.
What's included in your wedding packages?
All packages include full-day coverage, digital images, and online galleries. Premium options add second photographers, bespoke albums, wall art, and pre-wedding shoots. Customisation is available to match specific requirements.
Do you offer engagement shoots?
Yes, pre-wedding shoots are included in Elegance and Exquisite packages. These sessions help couples feel comfortable in front of the camera while creating beautiful images for announcements or personal keepsakes.
How long does it take to receive photos?
Teaser images are delivered within 48 hours. Full galleries with professionally edited images take 4-6 weeks. Albums require additional time for custom design and production, with estimated completion 8-10 weeks post-event.
Can we request specific photo locations?
Absolutely. I encourage couples to suggest meaningful locations or specific shots they envision. My experience includes unique venues from castles to remote beaches, with creative solutions for challenging lighting or environmental conditions.
