FAQs
How Do We Confirm a Booking With You?
To check my availability, simply fill out one of my online forms or send me an email. Once confirmed, I’ll send you a quote, and if you'd like to move forward, you can accept the quote online. To secure the booking, you'll just need to sign my T&Cs and pay a 20% deposit. The final balance will be due when your wedding photos are ready for delivery.

What Happens If You're Unable to Attend on the Wedding Day?
I have never missed a wedding in my entire career. However, if I were to fall seriously ill or if an unforeseen catastrophe occurs, you would receive a full refund. I would also assist you in finding a replacement and have a trusted pool of professional Kent-based wedding photographers I can reach out to for coverage on your wedding day.
Can You Show Us a Full Wedding Album?
Yes! The portfolios on this website are just a few of my favourite images from the day so if you would like to view a full days wedding portfolio just ask and i'll send over a digital album so you can view it on your desktop, tablet or mobile device.
When Will We Receive Our Digital Wedding Album?
14 to 28 days after your wedding day via email.
You have a natural style but we would like some family group photo’s on the day too. Is this possible?
Yes! I just need you to provide a list of all the formal photos you want taken by email. Typically, I set aside about 30 minutes later in the afternoon at the reception venue for these shots. To ensure it doesn’t take too much of your time, I suggest limiting it to no more than 10 different photos. This way, I can efficiently capture these group photos without overwhelming your schedule.
Can We Provide a List of Specific Shots We Want?
The only photo list I accept is for family group shots. Since my style is documentary, I focus on capturing natural, candid moments throughout the day rather than posed photos. This is why I don’t accept shot lists, as it allows me to work harder on capturing more authentic moments.
Do we get the high resolution copies of our images and are they ‘ours’ once you send them through?
Yes! All images I supply you with are in their highest resolution and you will also own the copyright (alongside with myself) of all the images I supply you with so no hidden extra costs at the end.
Do You Offer Videography Services or Work with Videographers?
Yes, I offer combined photography and videography packages to capture your wedding day. I collaborate closely with professional videographers who share my vision for storytelling and attention to detail. You can explore the different package options on my Photography & Videography Packages page. If you have specific needs or would like to customise a package, feel free to contact me to discuss.
Do You Require a Meal During the Wedding?
It’s not a requirement but I do really appreciate a hot meal on the day.
Can you supply a printed wedding album as well as the digital album too?
As an optional extra I can supply a beautiful A3 layflat wedding album printed on gallery quality 400gsm Fuji lustre paper. A 50x sided hardback book is £350.
Which camera equipment do you use?
The latest Sony A7RV (x2) with a Sony G Master 35mm 1.4 lens as my main glass and either a Sony 24mm, 50mm, 85mm or 135mm lens on my other camera. The best and fastest wedding camera equipment on the market today. I also have a backup Sony A7IV which is ready to use just incase one of my other camera bodies fails during the day.
How Do You Dress for the Wedding?
I usually dress in smart, dark clothing to blend in with the crowd. For comfort and to move quietly during the ceremony and speeches, I wear black trainers.
Do You Edit All the Photos?
I personally cull and edit all of your wedding photos. I never outsource the editing to anyone else.
What happens if you have not photographed at our wedding venue yet?
Kent boasts numerous top-tier wedding venues, and I have photographed at all the major ones. However, with so many venues in the area, I find myself at new locations and churches every summer. Don't worry if I haven't previously shot at your chosen venue; the structure of these places is generally quite similar. I make it a point to arrive 30 minutes to an hour early for every wedding I photograph. This gives me ample time to explore the venue and identify the best spots for photos throughout the day.
