A Wedding Experience
TAILORED TO YOU
Your wedding story is unique to you–no two are ever the same. When you’re deciding on your creative studio, you’re entrusting them to truly understand your story, confident they’ll lean into your day to uncover truly outstanding photographic opportunities.
FREQUENTLY
ASKED
How would you describe your style?
It’s heavily tailored to your celebration, and you as a couple. For some, that may mean we keep things really chilled with an elevated documentary take, or others we may push hard on editorial. It’s about what works for you.
Will you take us away for hours on end?
No–couples portraits are kept to short pockets, with a few throughout the day at quieter times for you. An essential element of your wedding story is for you to be present with your guests.
We’re awkward in front of the camera, can you help?
Absolutely–that’s 99% of couples’. I invite couples to forget the idea of being ‘posed’–instead we elevate natural interactions by slowly layering easy guidance and direction. The priority will always be your enjoyment.
Do you limit the number of family formals?
Not really, but I do invite couples to consider the time it’ll take for their required numbers. There is no magic time wand, and it’s easy to lose your entire drinks reception on lower priority formals.
PRE-WEDDING
1. ESTABLISHING A FIT
Once you’ve enquired and we’ve established availability, we’ll schedule an initial discovery call to talk through initial plans and wedding aspirations.
Outside of establishing a personality fit, our belief is it’s of upmost importance for couples’ to ensure their chosen photographer is aligned to their wedding ambitions–and can confidently deliver them.
2. PERSONALISED PROPOSAL
Once we’ve established we’re a match, you’ll be presented with a bespoke proposal–which you can further tailor to your individual requirements.
Once contracts have been signed and booking fees paid, we’re formally ready for your celebration. Timelines will be set around future communications and planning, and schedule support & supplier recommendations can be provided.
3. PLANNING
Now that your wedding is on the horizon, we’ll begin planning the fundamentals (timings, locations, family formals), whilst also looking to better understand you.
Understanding how you’re looking to prioritise your time throughout the day, appetite to be pushed in the name of hero shots, and overall wedding experience ambitions, ensures I’m aligned and complementing your day.
ON THE DAY
4. EXPERIENCE LED
At the core of our approach is the belief that your wedding experience should be prioritised above all. Nothing is more important than a couples’ enjoyment on their day, and we strive to show it in every story.
From smooth workflows, to minimising portraits during key social times and understanding when to be unobstrusive in moments of heightened emotion, our approach is guided by a wealth of real wedding experience.
5. ELEVATED DOCUMENTARY
With careful pre-planning and experience, we’re able to be prepared for any natural moment and interaction, and can fully immerse ourselves in the moment as they unfold.
By trusting in the authenticity of your day and offering natural direction in select scenarios, we’re able to document your day in a honest yet complimentary way–whilst still elevating key moments of your story.
6. LOOSE EDITORIAL
If it feels right, there is always an opportunity to embrace our inner Vogue model–all in couples portrait sessions that last only a few minutes.
By tailoring direction for each couples needs, we’re able to remove any preconceived ideas of awkwardness to keep things an enjoyable experience–whilst still delivering those hero images you’ve aspired towards.
POST-WEDDING
7. PREVIEWS
Your coverage may include a small handful of previews, a mini gallery, or a ‘film-ish’ gallery delivered shortly after your wedding (details will be included in your proposal).
Exact preview requirements or expedited delivery can be bespoke to your needs, and subject to workload–can be available for all of our offerings (photography, videography, and content creation).
8. THE EDIT
Your gallery is meticulously curated and edited by hand in our signature style–all completed in-house.
Our editing style can be described as being “true to life, whilst striking a balance between modern and timeless”. There are no major colour shifts, heavy desaturations, or overly vibrant hues–the focus is on keeping colours true to life, whilst maintaining an edit that compliments your day.
9. DELIVERY
Once ready, your gallery is delivered via a private hosted online gallery–with unlimited full resolution downloads and customisation on how you share with your guests.
Your gallery is hosted for 6 months, with options to extended this. Via your gallery, you’ll also have access to print houses located across the world for premium prints and albums–regardless of your location.

ASKED
How far in advance should we book?
My diary opens 30 months in advance of dates. Waitlists can mean key dates are booked as soon as they’re released, and other dates can be booked a matter of weeks in advance. It’s recommended to reach out as soon as possible.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I’m Midlands based, and regularly travel across the UK and Worldwide for weddings.
How do we book with you?
Upon accepting your proposal and signing the attached contract, a £300-500 booking fee is taken (exact fee dependant on services taken). Only once the booking fee is paid is your date secured.
Do you shoot analogue film?
I adore photographing on film. Many options are available ranging from a few rolls of film, through to a separate purely film gallery–and many options in between such as a ‘film-ish’ gallery. Options will be displayed on your proposal.
Do you cover elopements and multi-day celebrations?
Absolutely–I’ve captured celebrations ranging from 8 guests to 500+. For multi-day celebrations, availability can be a limiting factor.
Will our images be professional retouched?
Every delivered image will be individually hand edited. Minor blemishes, stray hairs, and distractions (eg, fire exit signs) may be removed at my discretion.
WOULD YOU LIKE US TO DOCUMENT YOUR DAY?
We typically receive over 600 enquiries per year, which does make availability limited–it’s recommended to enquire as soon as you have a confirmed wedding date with your venue.
If you’re looking for a combination of photography, videography, and content creation–head on over to our Photo // Video page.
For photography, full day coverage typically ranges between £2,000-£3,500 for UK weddings (dependant on the date, venue location, and coverage needed). To check availability for your date, fill in the below form and we’ll be in touch shortly.
