Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge extra for travel?
If your wedding is further than 10 miles from Midhurst there will be no additional charge but there will be a small charge for travelling costs and expenses if further than this.
Do you require accommodation?
If your wedding is more than 2 hours away and late into the evening (later than 8pm) I will require accommodation which will be added to your package costs.
How many photographs will we receive?
Each package includes the specified amount of photographs you’ll receive, your online gallery will contain more than you receive so you can pick your favourites yourself and any additional can be purchased after. Price will be discussed at pre-wedding meeting.
Who owns copyright to the photographs?
The word ‘copyright’ is a confusing issue. As the photographer, I will hold the legal copyright to the photographs, as I am the original creator. This means that I can edit, sell to your guests, publish, and use them commercially as I wish. I provide all my clients with a print release so that you can print them till your heart desires but you cannot edit, sell or use them for profit in any way.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
For all weddings in the United Kingdom, there is always the chance of rain. I will come prepared with lots of umbrellas and some wellington boots to make the photographs a bit quirky. I’m not one to let a bit of rain ruin your special day.
What equipment do you use?
I use some of the very best professional camera equipment available to me. My equipment includes, but not restricted to the following; two Nikon D750 (full-frame) with a back-up camera body always ready, and my favourite lenses are Nikkor (Nikon) 14-24mm 2.8, Nikkor (Nikon) 24-70 2.8, Nikkor (Nikon) 70-200mm 2.8, Sigma 35mm 1.4 ART and Tamron 90mm 2.8 Macro. I also carry sufficient lighting equipment with me.
Do we need to feed you?
If I am photographing your wedding for 4 hours or more I’d love to be fed please. I wouldn’t ask to sit with you and your guests, so please don’t feel the need to include me in your seating plan. A meal or bar meal away from your dining area is absolutely perfect.
How do we book you as our wedding photographer?
If you would like to secure your wedding date with me, I require a £200 booking fee and for my wedding contract to be signed. (Petite package £50 booking fee).
How long before we get our photographs?
I will keep you up to date and post a ‘sneak peek’ on Facebook up to two days but will also email it to you if you’re not on Facebook so you don’t miss out. But you will receive your final edited photographs to view on a password protected gallery within 4 weeks after your wedding date.
Are you insured?
Yes all of my equipment is fully insured and I am covered by public liability and indemnity insurance.
I support the following two charities by donating my wedding photography services to a couple in need of it as one of them is terminally ill with cancer.
