FAQs

 

Please find below, some of the most commonly asked questions to date (FAQs). If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

 

How many photographers will there be?

This usually depends upon the Bride and Groom’s requirements. I can offer from one to three photographers, but normally it’s one or two. Unless the wedding has a very large capacity with further requirements.

Will you dress accordingly?

I always dress in keeping with the traditional wedding. Don’t worry, I won’t show up in Ugg boots and T Shirts. Well, not unless you wanted me to, but it does cost extra.

Other places offer over 3500 images of the day. Why don’t you?

When it comes to the amount of images you receive, I promise there will always be enough to choose from. I’m aware that other wedding photographers offer 3500 or more, but I also know that this is generally a selling tactic and I prefer that your final images are diverse and cover your day the way you want it covered. Why have 3500 images of your day when a high percentage of them will look exactly the same?

How long before we receive our wedding album/images?

The usual time from shooting a wedding to receiving your album is roughly 6-8 weeks. This also includes all of the points between, such as getting your proofs and making your choices, also any further post processing, if required.

What about food and drink?

I’m there to photograph your wedding and although a quick bite and a coffee is always appreciated, it’s not always expected…and I certainly don’t expect to be seated and fed with the wedding party. I’m happy to take time out whilst the wedding party is being seated and served.

When do we pay you and how?

There is a non refundable deposit of 35% to be paid when your wedding date has been booked and confirmed. The remainder is to be paid no closer than 3 calendar months before the wedding date. Any discounted package fee must be paid in full upon confirmed booking. I also offer a 0% interest monthly payment scheme. Your remaining balance (after deposit) will be divided into equal monthly payments to be completed 3 calendar months before your wedding date.

Do I have to have a wedding album?

The quick answer is not always and in the age of digital, it’s becoming more common not to have one; but it would depend upon which package and any extras chosen. I also offer your images in an online gallery, complete and ready for downloading, printing, sharing and emailing.

Will you be DBS checked?

I do hold DBS certificate as I also tutor in photography and mixed media, but it’s not a legal requirement unless being left alone with children or vulnerable people; and I have heard that some wedding photographers use this as a sales gimmick.

Are you willing to travel?

Although I’m based in Liverpool, I’ve photographed weddings all over the UK and even abroad. If you’re planning a wedding abroad, I’ll be happy to quote you any additional costs for travel. If you’re planning a UK wedding, I currently charge the standard rate of 45p per mile over a 50 mile return trip. i.e. 60 miles of travel = 10 miles at 45p.

Will we meet you before the wedding?

Yes, I will arrange a meeting to discuss your requirements and expectations, explain how we work and what you can expect from us on the day.

Is there a contract?

Yes. At our initial meeting we discuss all requirements of the day, including what is expected. The contract is mainly to clarify the expectations of the bride and groom, and ourselves; including specific shot lists (if any) and any VIP requirements. Once the contract is thoroughly read and signed, a deposit will need to be paid.

 0% Interest, how does it work?

I know that sorting out a wedding can often make you feel overwhelmed with arrangements, timings, seating plans etc., and of course, the many other things that will be need to be sorted before your big day, being permanently on your mind. My interest free payment plan allows you spread the cost (after deposit) over what ever period there may be between the time of booking and 3 calendar months before the wedding day.

How many photographs will we get?

I believe that quality is more important than quantity. I also believe that each photograph being different from the last is also important, therefore I always guarantee that the will be more than enough for you to choose from because I capture as many as I possibly can, whether it be 900 or more than a 1500 images, there will always be more than enough memories of you day.

How do I redeem a voucher?

When you purchase your voucher, I send you a digital copy for your records. All you have to do is contact me with the voucher code or security number, or alternatively you can email a copy of your voucher when redeeming.
