Enquiry

It is advisable to contact me in good time once you’ve set your date to enable a smooth transition between enquiry, consultation and booking.

After your initial enquiry, I will pencil in your chosen date and always give you first refusal informing you immediately of any other enquiries that come in for the same date.

From this point onwards we will schedule a meeting to discuss the plans of your wedding including the photography in detail to ensure the success of your big day.

Blind Bookings

I give the option, and on many occasions, have secured a date without a consultation.

If you’re finding it difficult (due to personal commitments, distance from my studio or due to social distancing guidelines) to meet in person, filling a simple online booking form and transferring a small deposit can secure your date.

This gives you the peace of mind your photographer is booked and is generally taken on by clients who have come from recommendation or by clients who have known me for a considerable time.

Your Consultation

Your experience starts by entering my consultation studio which instantly wows and warms potential clients the moment they arrive.

During our initial meeting and introduction, with a welcoming drink, we get to know each other, establish a foundation and client/photographer relationship which goes beyond your wedding day.

A key element to choosing your photographer is having someone you are comfortable with by your side for the duration of your special day.

Timings & Itinerary

It is the photographers best intentions to advice you on the most appropriate schedule for the day.

I offer free advice and tips to make your day run as smooth as possible and organise an airtight itinerary to make sure your day runs on time.

Using the ceremony time as the base of planning, I do so with the experience I have on the many traditions, ceremonies and venues I have had the pleasure of working with.

Based on your needs, preparation locations and coverage options I will help you structure your day’s itinerary leading up to arriving at your venue.

Photography Style

Every photographer has their own style and creative concept and I hope my online portfolio has inspired you. During our meeting we will establish your preference and make sure you are happy with how your day is captured.

On display in my studio are plenty of sample albums and a 65” 4K TV to show you a variety of images from numerous Venues, Churches, and traditions giving you the opportunity to see images relating to your wedding.
