You get in touch, we meet up or have a Zoom chat and we get on like a house on fire! You secure your booking by sending me a deposit, I put you in my diary. You send over your final payment, I shoot your wedding! We all have a fantabulous time! I deliver your photos, you have an awesome gallery of pictures to forever remember the best party you ever threw for all your friends and family!

Don’t worry at all! All my clients feel awkward in front of the camera. All you need to do is focus on having the best time, and I’ll focus on you (pardon the pun)! I love to document your day and capture to truly authentic moments you share with all your favourites!
When it comes to portraits, I'm all about capturing the genuine, unfiltered you – no wistful gazes required. You won't find any requests for dreamy stares into the horizon here. Instead, let's embrace the natural, the candid, and the beautifully imperfect. Whether it's a hearty laugh, a mischievous grin, or a loving glance shared, that's where the true magic lies. So let's ditch the distant daydreams and let your authentic selves shine through – no acting required, just genuine moments!

You will receive your images 6-8 weeks after your wedding day.
-
Absolutely!
I recommend a maximum of 10 group shots.
Here's the game plan: before the big day, I'll send you a handy questionnaire where you can jot down the specific group shots you want.
Armed with this list, I will then take control, organise the troops and smash these out as quick as possible so you can get on with enjoying your day.

Ill? I’m NEVER ill! This is what the optimistic side of brain is saying!
But let's talk worst-case scenarios: if, by any chance, I am unable to shoot your wedding I will do my absolute best to find you a brilliant replacement wedding photographer who also has a similar style to my own! I have a fantastic network of photographers I can contact who are all just a click away. I will pay them to shoot your wedding in my place.
But rest assured, I'm fully committed to capturing your wedding day in all its glory.

I love to use Sony mirrorless cameras for wedding!
I have used Canon, Nikon and Sony for a number of different projects, and photography roles in the past. While completing my photography diploma and working as photography manager for JustPose Ltd I got to use a number of different cameras for a wide variety of events.
For me, Sony ticks A LOT of boxes! They are light to carry, super quick, and able to cope with very tricky lighting! Perfect for weddings!

Having a second photographer can be super useful!
You get double the snapping fun, and of course more images from more angles!
I also use Sony shooters as my seconds so that the images are consistent.
It’s like having two of me! (I’m hoping you see that’s as a good thing!)
-
Of course!
I am fully covered with both public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
Occasionally, certain venues may require documentation of supplier insurance, so if the need arises, feel free to let me know, and I'll be more than happy to share proof of insurance.
-
I would recommend you book your photographer a year in advance, especially if your wedding is between June- August, or even in December.
If you’re super organised you could book a photographer 18 months-2 years in advance! Imagine how smug you could feel knowing it was done and dusted?

I love to shoot weddings! Especially fun, DIY, quirky weddings…so if you have a vision and are struggling with a budget by all means get in touch and I’ll see what I can do to help - be it reduced hours/coverage/images, something that works for us both - then of course! Let’s chat!

I only accept bank transfer.
One must proof to the tax man that my business makes money!
Isn’t adulting fun?
