So……you may have some questions? To make life easier (who doesn’t like an easy life?!) I’ve popped some answers to some common ones below. If you are still left wanting then don’t hesitate to get in touch! I am really rather friendly, I won’t bite and I promise not to bombard you with unwanted marketing or sniff through your bins.
We Hate Having Our Photos Taken/We Look Like Chandler From Friends. Can You Help?
Yeah, me too……..but don’t worry, we’ll get through it together and we won’t even need to sit in a circle and sing Kumbahya….which is great because I have a terrible voice (nails down a chalkboard kinda stuff) and singing in public terrifies me! I like to have a relaxed approach to the couple shots, yes I will give you direction but mostly I like to read my couples and their relationship so that I can get the most from the pictures we’ll create together.
Is There Any Point Where You Don’t Shoot During The Day?
Yup…..you bet your boots there is. The only time I don’t shoot during the day (out of choice that is….I have no control over evil photo stopping officiants) is when you and your guests are eating. I mean, let’s face it, that’s just awkward and doesn’t make for an enjoyable meal or flattering photos.
I also do not follow you in to the toilets…..good to know eh!?
What If It Rains?
I wish my super power was being able to control the weather, just think of the fun I could have. Sadly the weather is a law unto itself and although I do do a little weather dance it doesn’t always work….especially in this country. The rain needn’t stop you getting amazing couple shots or enjoying the day. It’s totally about mind set and thinking “Stuff you rain!” I will always be game for going out in the rain, just bring wellies/flats……and maybe a brolly!!
My Four Legged Friend Is Coming To The Wedding……Will You Think It’s Weird To Have Pictures With Them?
Hell no!!! Animals at weddings totally rock. I love animals and I love to photograph them. Some people joke that I have a horse obsession (4 weddings and a styled shoot featuring horses is NOT an obsession people!). Seriously though, as an animal lover I can understand how important your furry (or not so furry) little friend is, my dog is definitely a family member not a pet….so yeah…..let’s do some awesome pics of your little family on the big day!
How Would You Say You Work On The Day?
Hard….very hard….but I am guessing you don’t mean that! I mostly shoot candid/reportage of the day. It’s all about the story and documenting it to look back on for all the years to come. It’s about the moment your dad danced like Elvis or your friend surprised you by singing for you. It’s about the hugs, squeezes, love and laughter. When it comes to the group shots I work fast but I am calm, friendly and absolutely NOT a photo Hitler (we’ve all met those right!?).
You don’t have any black and white images in your galleries….do you do them?
How observant of you!! Yes I have no black and white images on my website anywhere. This is because I see the world in colour which means I live your wedding in colour and that’s how I want to show it. I want to show the day for the vibrant fun that it was. I do however always provide my couples with a black and white version of every image to allow them to make the artistic choice when it comes to what to frame/put on the walls/give to grandma!!
Do You Do Group Shots?
Of course!! They are important, but let’s not get carried away….trust me….more than 10 and you’ll be bored! When I am given the time and free reign to be creative I LOVE to do something different with the bridesmaid and groomsmen group shots….less standing in a line, more vogue/looking cool!
Do You Ever Shoot Anything Other Than Weddings?
I’m not gonna lie, I love a good wedding, that’s why I specialise in them. Don’t let that fool you though, I have also been known to do styled shoots, trash the dress shoots, couple shoots and family shoots. Mostly these other shoots happen on weekdays as my weekends are wedding packed. So if you are thinking about using me for something other than a wedding just get in touch.
My Wedding Is In Outer Mongolia……..Will You Shoot It?
Of course!! I travel literally anywhere in the world. If you are having a destination wedding don’t be shy about getting in touch for a tailored package. I have shot weddings all over the place, travelling as far as Miami, South Africa, Nepal and Hong Kong.
What Happens After You Have Shot My Day?
Well first off I get my ass home and get everything backed up in three different places. Then I work on your photos, one by one, to get them looking lovely ready to come home to you. This process can take up to 6 weeks (especially during my busy periods). I don’t do retouching, I believe everyone is beautiful and I want to show my couples (and their guests) real beauty.
Soooo how do we get our images and how can we share them with our friends and family?
The images will be available as a digital download from an online gallery. You will be given a password and a PIN number that will allow you or anyone you share the gallery with to download the high resolution images. This will be online for up to 3 months. Your guests do not need to pay me a penny to download any/all images that they would like….good eh!! You will also receive a rather lovely USB of both the colour and black and white high resolution images to treasure forever.
