FAQ's

What is you approach to covering a wedding?

My aim is to capture the real spirit and atmosphere of your day, telling the story as it happens without you really being aware that I am around. I want you to be able to look back at your wedding day with nothing but happy memories rather than having to have faced a long drawn out photo shoot.

I hate being in front of the camera. How will you cope with this?

The majority of my clients feel exactly the same way. In the main, being asked to smile into the lens is a daunting prospect. I prefer to work quickly and calmly, allowing you to spend most of the day without having to give me a second thought. On average 80-90% of the time you won't even know what I am photographing which in turns allows you to relax and enjoy your wedding. Too many photographers still feel the need to dominate the day and forget the real reason why we are all there!

How many photographers will be at my wedding?

I shoot alone, although on some occasions, I may have a non-shooting assistant purely to help for logistical reasons. In my experience, most clients prefer my low key approach rather than having to face a team of photographers who find it harder to blend into the background.

Do you travel?

Yes. Over the past few years I would say that over half of our weddings have taken place outside of Sussex. I am happy to shoot all over the World, availability permitting. Please feel free to ask for a personal tailored quotation if your wedding is taking place overseas.

Do you cover winter weddings?

Of course. Many of the images shown on my galleries were taken in the winter. I love working all year round and thrive on the challenges that shooting in different seasons, presents.

How do you cope with shooting venues that are new to you?

I am very experienced at covering weddings that are taking place at venues totally new to me. I love working blind as this allows me to work without any preconceived ideas and helps to keep my work fresh and exciting. Again, last year about 50% of the venues were new to me and I ensured that I saw them early on the day of the wedding so that I could be well prepared for any eventuality.

How do you present your images?

Unlike most other photographers, I prefer to offer a complete service with transparent pricing. You decide on the date, times, length of photographic coverage, and then select the style of album you require. I only use the world's best albums which can be uniquely designed to give you the best possible story telling available.

I listen to your requirements and ideas and on the day I include these whilst shooting the story that is happening around you. After your wedding, I then custom design the layout of your album which is hand made as a one-off to my specific requirements. I use all the images that make the final edit and your album will normally be ready for collection about 6-8 weeks after your wedding day.

The benefits of this approach are:

You don't have to wait months for your finished album
There is no boring hard selling and design session after your wedding.
You don't have to take time off from work to come and be subjected to an intense album planning session. As many of our clients lead very busy lives and may live a long way from our studio, this is one less unnecessary thing for them to worry about.
You receive all the images taken that make the final edit.
There are no hidden extra fees; you only pay an inclusive price which can avoid nasty surprises after your honeymoon.
You will receive the very best in album design and story telling available today.

We live a long way from Sussex. How do we receive our album?

This is quite a common theme for us. Your album can be sent by secure carrier for £25.00. For couples living outside of the UK, we are happy to provide you with a quote to cover your needs.

Can we have an on-line gallery to share our pictures with our friends and family?

I offer a complimentary web gallery for all of our couples. This comes password protected for your privacy. Included is a secure ordering and payment section, so that your guests can have photographs sent to their door, anywhere in the world.
