📸 The Finer Details


🎞️ My Style on the Day

My approach is simple: I capture your day as naturally and honestly as possible!

And if your guests are still calling me the “camera guy” instead of Fabio by the end of the day… then I’ve failed!

I blend into the background, documenting real moments as they unfold—but I’ll also step in gently when needed, like during group photos or portraits.

🧭 Organised When It Counts, Relaxed When It Matters

You’ll find me efficient and clear when timings are tight, and laid-back when the schedule allows.
My goal is to make your day feel like a wedding, not a photo shoot.

I focus on striking the perfect balance:

  • • Capturing everything you’ve asked for
  • • Keeping things running smoothly
  • • Without photography ever taking over

Your time with guests is precious, and I want you to enjoy every second—while knowing your memories are being beautifully preserved in the background.

I’m regularly posting updates on social media too:


🗓️ The 4–8 Week Countdown

You won’t need to think about anything photo-related until about 4–8 weeks before the big day.

At the 4-week mark, I’ll send you a detailed questionnaire covering:

  • • Final timings
  • • Group photo requests
  • • Key family info
  • • Any special moments to include

I wait until closer to the day to send this—since plans often change. It becomes my go-to guide on the day itself.


🎯 On the Day – What to Expect

🧑‍🎤 Getting Ready

I usually arrive 2-3 hours before you’re due to leave for the ceremony.
Plenty of time for coverage without being in your face.

💄 I don’t need to shoot every bit of hair and makeup. Once you’re almost ready, we’ll stage a few natural shots.

If your partner is getting ready nearby, I’ll aim to cover that too (time permitting).

 


🎊 After the Ceremony

  1. Confetti shot outside
  2. Big group photo
  3. Family portraits

It’s efficient, relaxed, and avoids chasing guests later on.


👪 Family Photos

We’ll figure this out closer to the day—keep it simple or go big.

  • • Immediate family takes around 10–15 mins
  • • Larger groupings will take a little longer
  • • No pressure either way!

👰 Couple Portraits

Whether you want just a few casual shots or a longer creative session, I’ll tailor it to your vibe.

I also love grabbing quick bridal party or groomsmen shots.
And if there’s a magical sunset? Expect me to whisk you away for 5 minutes 🌇


🕺 Evening Coverage

I usually stay 1 hour after the first dance, often until the buffet is served—enough time to capture some fun party energy and any extras like sparklers or night portraits.


📋 Payment

Payment Terms

  • Deposit: £125 to secure your date
  • Final Balance: Due 4 weeks before the wedding
  • Cash on the day is fine too—just let me know in advance

📷 Will I Be Taking Photos Non-Stop?

Not constantly—there are natural breaks during the day.

  • • During the wedding breakfast, I’ll step back and take a break.
  • • After dinner, while guests rest or change, I’ll pause unless something’s happening.

If you’re providing a meal, a quiet space to eat is perfect—I’ll also use this time to back up images.

👨‍🍳 Food is not expected unless speeches or performances happen during courses.


🖼️ After the Wedding

📩 Next-Day Previews

📚 Album Clients (Platinum Package)

If your package includes a wedding album:

  1. Choose your favourites from the gallery
  2. I’ll design a custom layout for review
  3. Once approved, it goes to print

A timeless, tangible way to relive your story—beautifully crafted.
