[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Do you have any questions about Wedding Photography?  Or don’t know what to ask your photographer. Take your time and read some FAQs as you may find some answers below.

Planning a wedding can be pretty daunting, especially as most people will have no prior experience of the industry. So, to help you navigate through all the photography-related jargon I’ve put together a list of the most common questions I receive from my couples.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_accordion][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”We love your work! – how can we book you ?” tab_id=”1614708637118-7-1″][vc_column_text]Booking a wedding with me is very simple. Firstly fill out the form on my website, I’ll need your full names, emails, wedding date/location, and your address, so I can draw up the paperwork. After that, I’ll send you a booking form and contract (which can be filled in/signed online ). I’ll also need a booking fee (which you can send via bank transfer, PayPal or cash if you prefer).

Some of my clients prefer to meet up before booking, the rest are happy to just chat or email to start with, then book me to secure the date and meet up closer to the big day ( the great time can be your engagement session ). I can also do my client meetings in my home in Amesbury ( Wiltshire).[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”Do you have BACKUP EQUIPMENT?” tab_id=”1614708844004-8-10″][vc_column_text]Yup. I’m a freak when it comes to camera gear. I bring at least 2 cameras body with me. I’ve got a large ( my back hurts when I think about it !) selection of prime and zoom lenses. So, it’s not a problem if something breaks.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”I feel uncomfortable in front of the camera … should I worry?” tab_id=”1614543423-1-34″][vc_column_text]

There is nothing to worry about it. I will give you some tips to make sure that you will look your best. The way I photograph Most of my couples never had an opportunity to stand in front of a camera. I hate being in front of it as well!
The way I photograph makes people look natural in the photos. I focus more on the direction instead of fake posing. For all shy couples (and not only) I recommend an engagement session with your partner. It’s a great way of getting to know me and the way I work.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”How long does it take for us to see our photos?” tab_id=”1614696981734-3-4″][vc_column_text]

I really don’t like my couples to have to wait long for their wedding photos. I generally post a few photos on Facebook within a week of your wedding to give you some ideas and get you the full set within 4-6 weeks. In the meantime, I focus also on your album layout.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”DO YOU CHARGE FOR TRAVEL?” tab_id=”1614544822056-2-9″][vc_column_text]Travel is free within 100 miles radius of Wiltshire. If your wedding is within driving distance in the UK I will charge a small fee just to cover the petrol costs. For Destination Weddings, I would require accommodation the day before and after your wedding. But don’t worry I am easygoing! It doesn’t have to be 5 star hotel ;)[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”We didn’t choose a package with a wedding album but we love the photos and really want an album now – can we order after the wedding day?” tab_id=”1614543423-2-100″ slug=”WHAT IS THE STORY WITH YOUR ALBUMS?”][vc_column_text]No! You don’t have to decide on albums when you booking. You can order an album after you have seen all the images. As I am a big fan of albums I will prepare the initial layout of your album and we can work together to make it perfect! That will be a truly enjoyable time for you.
But remember that an advantage of booking a package with an album is that the price is fixed when you book and more attractive.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”Can we print the photos from the USB stick or from Online Gallery?” tab_id=”1614697239458-4-4″][vc_column_text]

Yes, of course!  In fact, I strongly encourage you to print them. You can do it via your online gallery, or if you want to do it on your own please go to a good lab. ( don’t use  FreePrints or any other cheap lab as you will be disappointed with the quality ) And please back up your files too.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”HOW DO WE RECEIVE IMAGES?” tab_id=”1614698185848-5-4″][vc_column_text]Once the images are ready, You will get an email with a link to view/download your files. At the same time, I will post your USB as well[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”I know your style is quite natural, but what about posed family photos?” tab_id=”1614699167740-6-9″][vc_column_text]These are the images you will cherish the most in years to come so I always take these photos. I will do as many photos as you want if you’ve allocated time for them! To do this process smoothly I would suggest to allocate a family member or someone to help round people up, because from my experience, waiting for family members is the longest part of taking family photos.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”Do you have a second shooter?” tab_id=”1614710311906-9-1″][vc_column_text]I generally work alone, which allows me to be quick and as unobtrusive as possible. However, where necessary I can bring a second shooter. Just let me know if you’d like and We can chat about it[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHS WILL YOU TAKE during THE wedding DAY? HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHS we WILL receive?” tab_id=”1614711422727-10-1″][vc_column_text]At an average wedding, I take close to 4000 photos. Don’t worry you won’t get this many, I will edit and select the best one and you will receive at least 600-800 photos.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”HOW LONG WILL YOU STAY WITH US ON OUR WEDDING DAY?” tab_id=”1614720353587-11-10″][vc_column_text]I start as agreed and will stay until usually just after the first dance. If your package includes unlimited coverage you can decide upon the coverage you wish and this is usually discussed beforehand during our venue meeting.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”DO YOU OFFER ANY DISCOUNTS? ( OFF-SEASON AND WEEKDAY ) ” tab_id=”1614721377951-12-7″][vc_column_text]Depending on schedules and availability (weekday or off-season) it is possible:)[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordion][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
