FAQ's

Do you shoot on Digital or Film?

We shoot using professional digital cameras which produce the same or better quality than film. Not only is the quality superb but it gives us great flexibility and allows us to shoot in mixed lighting conditions. Some photographers will (incorrectly) advise clients that film is somehow more 'artistic' than digital. Whether a photograph is artistic or not is wholly dependent upon the vision & skill of the photographer and has nothing to do with the image being taken on a film or digital camera. Virtually 100% of the world's press & sports photographers work with digital cameras and have their photographs published in magazines and books across the globe.

How many photographs will you take on the day?

There is no limit to the number of photographs we take - we will take as many pictures as there are opportunities. The quantity might depend on the size of your wedding, the location or the weather.

Do we get to keep all the pictures?

Yes - you keep all the photographs as 6x4 professional prints once we have edited out blinks, duplicates or inappropriate expressions. High resolution Discs are available for purchase.

Do you take formal or group shots as well as reportage?

Yes, of course, although we like to make this a fun and relaxed occasion - which means no stiff necks or forced smiles. We like to do these calmly and quickly so that you are free to enjoy your wedding.

What do you do about eating on the day?

Our day is long and requires full & total concentration to get the best possible images throughout the wedding. We ask that a balanced hot meal is provided for us on the day to a similar standard to that of the wedding guests.

Will we need more than one photographer?

We highly recommend a 2^nd photographer if you have 150 guests or more. Spontaneous and memorable moments can happen simultaneously at different locations. The 2^nd photographer will bring another perspective to the story of your day.

Who chooses the photos for the album?

You do! It would be presumptuous of us to select your favourites - we might not know which of your family and friends you'd like to feature. We are very happy to advise you though if you have trouble deciding, as there are usually so many fabulous images.

How long does it take to make the album?

Once we have received your choice of images for inclusion in the album we design the layouts, which are then sent to you as a PDF via email to review and make changes if required. Once the design is finalised it normally takes a further 4 weeks for printing and binding .

How can our wedding guests view or order the photographs?

Your wedding will be hosted in the 'client area' on our website. The photographs can then be viewed by entering a password.

How do we book you?

We will give you a bespoke quotation for your wedding. Once this is approved please complete a booking form and return this with a booking fee/retainer of £500 to secure and validate your day. We receive more enquiries per year than there are days available and this means we are unable to provisionally hold any date without payment of the booking fee. All dates are booked on a first come first served basis.
