Firstly, I offer all my prospective clients a free consultation to come and meet me at my Gainsborough photography studio to discuss your requirements and see if I am the right photographer for you both. You’ll get a little thank you gift as a thank you for attending.

Don’t worry if you're busy, we can have a call instead and I can send you a welcome guide to read through.

This in-person visit will help you see if I feel right for you; especially if you want me there for 10 hours during your wedding day. This is a complimentary session with no obligation to book, so you can go home and decide together if I’m the wedding photographer of your dreams.

What to expect at your consultation:

I’ll show you examples of the wedding albums I offer, and you can ask me any questions. We’ll talk about the details of your wedding and get planning. You can also view a full gallery, so you can envision exactly what you are likely to receive from me and assess the quality and consistency of my work.

You want to hire me:

(I’ll do a little happy dance!) Once you have paid your £100 non-refundable deposit I’ll ask you to fill in your contract, and then we can set an appointment for the venue walk-through visit or your engagement photoshoot if you’d like. You will get a gift for booking with me, as a thank you when you get your photo album.

Payments:

Can be done via Cash, Card, Bacs, or PayPal. Payment plans can be set up from your consultation, which needs to be paid by 2 weeks before your wedding day.

Extra support:

If you want any advice on planning your wedding day, just let me know and I can help you, I have planned a few events during my time.

Booking is easy, you can do it directly online below.

Firstly, you choose your day and time from my calendar which shows my availability.

You will be asked to pay a £100 deposit, this secures your wedding day.

Wedding fee:

You can pay for your wedding in full at booking, or payment plans are available. Please message me and I can discuss this with you. Payments can be done via Cash, Card online via my website, Bacs, PayPal, or card payment in the studio.

This is where we meet at your chosen wedding venue, and walk through while we discuss the vision of your day; where you want your photos, planning what we can do if the weather is bad, and all the fine details to ensure everything runs smoothly.

This is an optional choice, but it helps build the relationship with me, especially if you are nervous about being behind the camera, or need extra support when planning your wedding day.

Location: You can have it in a location of your choice such as where you first met, your favorite go-to location, at your wedding venue, or in my studio – the choice is yours.

You can use the photos in your stationery with the ‘save the date’ cards, your invitations, or your wedding service guide.

It’s an ideal opportunity to experience being in front of the camera with me and build upon our relationship, so that you feel confident on your wedding day, ensuring you look amazing in your wedding photos!

I’ll send you a guide to help you be prepared for your experience and a clothing guide.

I’ll carefully edit your photos which will take me around 72 hours. There will be an estimated 15 edited images for you to view in your gallery.

I’ll also upload your photos onto an online gallery, where you can view download, and shop comfortability from your device.

Around two weeks before your wedding, we will have a ‘check-in’ just to solidify our plans for your wedding day. This can be at my studio, or via phone call/email, depending on your individual needs.

I know you’ll be super excited and busy, but I want to solidify our plans and check in with you on the big day. I’m not a photographer that you book and just turn up on the day, you get a complete experience and journey with me.

What to expect on your wedding day:

I will turn up to your wedding day promptly at the time you select, dressed smartly, with a professional, relaxed demeanor and a smile.

I will take a documentary-style approach at your wedding, taking photos as discreetly as possible, and capturing as many natural moments as I can. When I’ve finished, I’ll let you know before I go.

After you have collected your products/I’ve posted them, I usually wait a day or two and then email you to check that your order is okay, that you are happy, and that you can finally give me a review about my services for other potential clients.

Reviews help potential clients understand how you felt about my service and your wedding photos and are an important vital tool to helping couples choose their wedding suppliers.

If you agree, I will upload your photos onto my portfolio to show potential clients my standard of photography. I may use your photos for marketing my wedding photography business.
