Frequently Asked Questions
After nearly two decades behind the camera — from international stages to intimate vows — I’ve learned that clarity builds trust.
Here’s what couples most often ask before we begin working together.
HOW DO WE BOOK?
Once we’ve spoken about your plans, I’ll prepare a bespoke proposal and photography agreement.
A 50% booking fee secures the date, with the balance due one week before the wedding.
All bookings are taken on a first-come basis — I accept only a select number of commissions each year to ensure every story receives my full attention.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR APPROACH?
I work in a refined documentary style — intuitive, cinematic, and deeply human.
No posing, no staging, no performance.
My background photographing live music — from Robbie Williams, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and Chase & Status to the Eurovision Song Contest — taught me to find beauty in unpredictability.
Weddings are the same: one chance, one light, one fleeting expression. I photograph instinctively, preserving those moments with elegance and restraint.
HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE?
Nineteen years of professional photography, across a few continents, hundreds of stages, and more than a few hundred weddings.
My work has been published internationally, featured in books and magazines, and occasionally on their covers.
Those years honed my timing, composure, and understanding of light — all of which now serve one purpose: to tell your story quietly and beautifully.
HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHS WILL WE RECEIVE?
Every commission is delivered as a cohesive story — not a number.
Intimate ceremonies may yield 150 images; full-day celebrations often exceed 600.
Each frame is chosen, refined, and edited by hand to preserve the narrative and emotion of the day.
WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOGRAPHS?
All full galleries are delivered within four weeks.
For The Whole Day and First Light → Last Dance collections, you’ll also receive a curated ten-image preview within forty-eight hours — a first glimpse while the memories are still fresh.
Every photograph is edited personally by me to maintain consistency, tone, and narrative flow.
DO YOU TRAVEL?
Yes. I photograph weddings throughout the UK and internationally.
From London townhouses to Tuscan hillsides, I travel wherever your story unfolds.
Travel arrangements are quoted simply and transparently, without hidden extras.
DO YOU WORK ALONE?
I often work alone to maintain intimacy and discretion, though a second photographer can be added for broader coverage.
The additional perspective allows for greater depth — the same story, seen from two vantage points.
CAN YOUR PACKAGES BE CUSTOMISED?
Completely. Every wedding is different in rhythm, scale, and light.
Coverage hours can be tailored, engagement sessions added, and timelines adjusted to suit the flow of your day.
WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING PREVENTS YOU FROM ATTENDING?
In nearly two decades, I have never missed a wedding.
However, I maintain relationships with a small circle of established photographers whose style and professionalism mirror my own.
In the unlikely event of an emergency, your story would remain fully covered.
DO YOU NEED A MEAL ON THE DAY?
For coverage exceeding five hours, a hot meal during the wedding breakfast is appreciated.
I take a short break while guests dine and return before speeches begin — present, focused, and ready for what follows.
DO YOU OFFER ALBUMS AND PRINTS?
Yes. I offer museum-grade fine-art albums, hand-bound in the UK using archival papers and natural materials — linen, leather, or vegan options.
Every album is custom-designed to reflect your story with the same care given to the photographs themselves.
DO YOU PROVIDE RAW FILES?
No. My editing process is part of the artistry.
The delivered photographs are finished pieces — complete, balanced, and crafted to last.
ARE YOU INSURED AND DO YOU USE A CONTRACT?
Yes, to both. I carry full public liability and professional indemnity insurance, and every commission is confirmed through a detailed, plain-English agreement.
Clarity and professionalism underpin everything I do.
DO YOU HAVE BACKUP EQUIPMENT?
Always. I carry multiple professional camera bodies, lenses, and storage systems to ensure absolute reliability.
Preparation is invisible, but it’s what allows creativity to flow without interruption.
WHAT RIGHTS DO WE HAVE TO THE IMAGES?
You have full printing and sharing rights.
You may print, share, and distribute your photographs freely.
If used commercially or by other vendors, please ensure proper credit is given.
DO YOU OFFER VIDEOGRAPHY OR CONTENT CREATION?
I specialise exclusively in photography — it’s where my focus and artistry belong.
However, I work alongside a trusted network of filmmakers and content creators who share my discreet, documentary approach.
If you’d like video coverage that complements my style, I’m happy to recommend the right collaborator for your day.
ARE THERE ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR TRAVEL?
Travel within London is included in all collections.
For weddings outside London or further afield in the UK, a small, transparent travel fee may apply to cover transport and, if required, accommodation.
All arrangements are discussed clearly in advance — no hidden extras, just simple logistics to keep the day flowing smoothly.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE TRAVEL ON THE DAY?
Where possible, I travel by train or public transport within the UK.
It allows me to stay connected to the rhythm of the day — arriving focused, avoiding parking delays, and never needing to step away from key moments.
This approach ensures I’m always present, unobtrusive, and ready when the next story unfolds.
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH MULTI-DAY OR DESTINATION WEDDINGS?
Yes. I often photograph destination and multi-day weddings across Europe and beyond.
From welcome dinners to sunrise portraits and late-night celebrations, I tailor coverage to tell the full story of your weekend.
Travel is handled simply and transparently, with all arrangements agreed in advance.
DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH LGBTQ+ WEDDINGS?
Absolutely. Love is love, and every story deserves to be told with the same care, dignity, and artistry.
My focus is always on connection, emotion, and truth — never convention.
WHY DO COUPLES CHOOSE YOU?
Most couples are drawn to my approach because it feels honest — elegant without being staged, emotional without ever feeling sentimental.
On the day, I blend in completely. You’ll rarely notice me working, yet your guests will often ask if we’ve known each other for years.
That quiet familiarity allows me to capture the truth of your day — the atmosphere, the laughter, and the moments that unfold when no one realises they’re being photographed.
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
Every wedding is different. The best way to begin is with a conversation.
Tell me about your plans, and I’ll tell you how I can photograph them in a way that feels true to you.
