📸 What Happens Next?
🎞️ My Style on the Day
My approach is simple: I aim to capture the story of your day as naturally and honestly as possible.
I blend in with the atmosphere, documenting real moments as they unfold—while also stepping in when needed to provide gentle direction for key parts like group photos or portraits.
🧭 Organised when it counts, relaxed when it matters
You’ll find I’m efficient and clear when timings are tight, and easy going when the schedule allows. I want your day to feel like a wedding—not a photo shoot.
My ethos is all about striking the right balance:
-Making sure we capture everything you’ve asked for
-Keeping the photography running smoothly
-Without it ever taking over your day
Your time with guests is precious, and I want you to enjoy every second—with the reassurance that your memories are being beautifully preserved in the background.
I’m always here to help—not just with photography, but with anything wedding-related. I’ve attended hundreds of weddings and seen what works (and what doesn’t),
(i’m happy to be your go-to wedding helper as much as you need!)

🗓️ The 4–8 Week Countdown
You won’t need to worry about anything photo-related until about 4–8 weeks before your wedding.
At the 4-week point, I’ll send you a detailed questionnaire covering:
Final timings
Group photo requests
Key family information
Any special details or moments to include
I purposely wait until closer to the day to send this, as plans often change. The questionnaire helps ensure everything I capture is accurate and relevant—it becomes my go-to reference on the day.
🎯 On the Day – What to Expect
Getting Ready
I usually arrive 2–3 hours before you’re due to leave for your ceremony—plenty of time for prep coverage.
💄 No need to worry if your makeup artist is starting early—I don’t need to capture the full thing. Once you’re nearly ready, we’ll stage what’s needed.
If your partner is getting ready nearby, I’ll aim to cover that too, time permitting.
⏱️ Morning Timing Tip
Ideally, I need you in your dress 45 minutes before you’re due to leave or meet the registrars. This allows time for portraits, first looks, and a moment to relax before things get busy.
📍If you’re getting ready off-site: I’ll need to leave 20 minutes before you do to travel, which means you’ll need to be in your dress 1 hour ahead of your departure.
🎊 After the Ceremony
Here’s the flow that works best:
Guests are led outside for confetti
Followed by a large group photo
Then straight into family group portraits
Doing this right away keeps things efficient and stress-free—no chasing guests later in the day.
👪 Family Photos
You’ll start thinking about this closer to the day. You can keep it simple or go big—it’s entirely up to you.
Typically, immediate family (parents, grandparents, siblings) takes about 10–15 minutes. Extended family or longer lists naturally take more time, but there’s no pressure at this stage.
👰 Couple Portraits
Whether you want just a few relaxed shots or a longer session, I’ll adapt to suit your preferences.
I often include some lighthearted bridal party or groomsmen photos as well. And if the sun puts on a show—expect me to pull you away for 5 minutes to make the most of a golden sunset 🌇
Throughout the day, I focus on capturing candid moments as they naturally unfold, and I may offer to take quick couple portraits of guests too.
🕺 Evening Coverage
I usually stay 1–2 hours after the first dance, often until the buffet is served. This allows me to capture some evening dancing and any additional moments like sparklers or night portraits.
📋 Insurance
Yes, I am fully insured. If your venue requests a copy of my documents(this is common), just let me know who to send them to and I’ll handle it promptly.
💳 Payment Terms
Deposit: £125 to secure your date
Final balance: Due 4 weeks before the wedding
Cash on the day is possible—please check with me in advance
📷 Will I Be Taking Photos Non-Stop?
Not quite. Here’s where I usually take a step back:
During the wedding breakfast, I’ll be tucked away in the bar or a quiet space, taking a break.
Between the meal and evening reception, there can be a natural lull where guests head to their rooms—during this time, I’ll slow down too unless something’s happening or you need me.
That said, I’m always on hand if you want a few extra photos or if the light is perfect.
If you’re providing a meal, I prefer to eat in a quiet space so I can back up files and recharge. I have no dietary requirements and will eat anything provided.
👨🍳 Please note: Food is not expected unless speeches or performances happen during courses—in which case I won’t have a window to step out for food.
🖼️ After the Wedding
The day may be over, but your photos are just beginning.
📩 Next-day previews – I usually send a small selection of preview images within 24 hours.
🖼️ Full gallery – Delivered within 2–4 weeks via your own private online gallery, which you can share with family and friends.
📚 Album Clients
If your package includes a wedding album:
You’ll select your favourite images directly from your gallery
I’ll design a bespoke layout for you to review
Once approved, your album will go to print
Your album will be a lasting, tangible way to relive the day—designed with care and custom to you.
Optional Extras
Second Photographer – £350
Recommended for weddings with 90+ guests, a second shooter can:
Capture groom/partner prep in a separate location
Focus more on candids and guest arrivals
Add 300–400 extra images to your final gallery
This can significantly enhance your coverage and flexibility on the day.
