GOT QUESTIONS? I´VE GOT ANSWERS!
Frequently Asked Questions
Planning your wedding is exciting (and let’s be honest, sometimes a little overwhelming!), so I’ve put together this handy FAQ page to answer some of the most common questions couples ask when booking their wedding photographer in Hampshire & beyond – that’s me!
Whether you’re saying your vows in a Hampshire manor house, the gardens of a luxury venue in Dorset, or on a sun-soaked beach abroad, I’m here to make the photography part of your wedding day easy, fun, and totally stress-free.
Are you insured?
Absolutely! I’m fully insured with both public liability and professional indemnity insurance. Peace of mind for both of us!
How many weddings have you photographed?
Over 300 (and counting!). I’ve been photographing weddings for over 15 years and bring all that experience to every couple I work with.

Do you edit all the photos?
Yes! Every single image you receive is hand-edited in my signature warm, natural, and romantic style. I’ll also include some black and white versions for extra magic.
Do you travel?
Yes I do! I regularly photograph weddings across Hampshire, Dorset, West Sussex Surrey, and the South Coast. I also travel further afield in the UK, I love a London wedding and shoot destination weddings too. If you’re planning a wedding abroad, let’s chat – I’d love to join you!
Do you offer engagement shoots?
Yes, and I love them! They’re the perfect way for us to get to know each other, ease any camera nerves, and capture some beautiful pre-wedding memories.
What if it rains on our wedding day?
This is England, so rain is always a possibility, but it won’t ruin your photos. I come armed with large umbrellas, weather-sealed cameras, and plenty of creative ideas. I’ll be keeping my eye out for any dry spells on the day and when I see a break in the clouds, I’ll be right there to grab you for some gorgeous portraits. Rain or shine, you’re in safe hands!
Do you shoot alone or with a second photographer?
I usually shoot solo, but you can absolutely add a second photographer to your package for an additional £500. It’s a great option if you’re having a big wedding or want both partner preps captured as well as some extra angles throughout the day.
How do you keep our photos safe?
I back up every wedding in multiple locations. Two hard drives and your online gallery. Once delivered, I recommend backing up your photos too so they’re safe forever.
Can you hold our wedding date?
To be fair to all couples, I work on a first-come, first-served basis. Your date is officially secured once I receive your signed contract and £500 booking fee.
How many photos will we receive?
You’ll receive a minimum of 600 beautifully edited images from a full-day wedding, often more! I focus on quality AND quantity, capturing everything from big moments to sweet little details.

How long does it take to get our wedding photos?
Your final gallery will generally be delivered within 8 weeks of your wedding. During peak season (hello summer!), it may take slightly longer – but trust me, they’re worth the wait.
Is travel included in your prices?
Travel is included within 50 miles of my home in Locks Heath. For further UK or destination weddings, travel and accommodation costs will be discussed during booking.
Do you offer albums and prints?
Yes! I offer beautifully crafted wedding albums and a range of professional print options to bring your images to life. These can be added to your package at any time or ordered through your gallery.
What if you’re unwell on the day?
Touch wood, this has never happened! But in the very unlikely event that I’m seriously unwell or unable to attend, I have a network of trusted professional photographers who can step in. I’ve got you covered.
What equipment do you use?
I shoot with high end professional Canon cameras and lenses (2x Canon R5’s and a series of luxury prime & zoom lenses) and I always carry backups. I also shoot to dual memory cards to protect your images. Your memories are in safe hands!
Do you shoot destination weddings?
Yes, and I LOVE them! I’ve photographed destination weddings in stunning locations including Tuscany, Crete, Majorca and more I’m always ready to pack a suitcase. Let’s chat about your dream day abroad!
