FAQs – Wedding Photography Services
Yes there will be a contract detailing all aspects of the wedding photography services you wished to book such as date of the event, estimated delivery of your photos, chosen options, payment method, etc.
Depending on what is planned during the day and how long you wish me to be present, you will received between 500 and 600 photos. All images are retouched using professional editing softwares such as Lightroom or Photoshop.
I will deliver your photos electronically within four weeks following your wedding days. Album and print offs delivery time varies depending on your choices.
I used to shoot around 30 weddings a year, but nowadays limit myself to a maximum of 5-6 dates per year. I focus on projets where my clients and I have a similar vision of the day and where I feel like we have a real connection.
Of course not, I travel across England, and even still cover weddings in Europe.
That’s actually my favorite type of wedding as it requires a lot of planning beforehand to be sure to understand each other creatively.
A rainy or cloudy day can actually look amazing in pictures, so the weather is really never a problem. Regarding my equipement I have a backup for each piece of equipement (such as two camera bodies). Regarding accidents, I have never missed a wedding in the past eight years but can always count on fellow professional wedding photographers in Surrey if needed.
Apart from very large weddings (+300 guests), most events do not require a second shooter. I can however provide one if necessary.
Yes of course, just mention when getting in touch.
Most clients book their date at least a year in advance (two years in some cases), but it really is a question of availability.
We will have several consultations before your wedding to discuss your vision as well as the timeline, and any specific requests you might have. We will also visit the venue together so you can run me through the most important items.
There are no additional costs if your wedding takes place in Surrey or less than fifty miles away from Godalming. Beyond that distance travel fees may apply and I will then detail them transparently in your initial quote so there are no surprises.
A shot list can be helpful specifically for the formal group photos (family, relatives, friends). If you want some more specific pictures we can discuss them, knowing that everyone is not always possible on the day.
