Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for taking the time to look at my website and work.
You should be able to find everything you need within these pages to help you decide if you require my professional wedding photography service.

CHOOSING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
I Highly recommend that you don't base your choice of photographer on price alone and instead choose someone who's work you love.
After all, you want photos that you will be happy with
for the rest of your life. With that in mind, if you haven't already done so, I would like to ask that you have a look through my gallery.

WHAT I OFFER
I offer a full days coverage, from Bridal preparations through to your first dance. The coverage I offer is a complete service, from initial meetings through to image enhancing and Album design.
My coverage includes documentary storytelling photography often called reportage, formal family photos and glossy magazine style bridal portraiture. I combine these different styles into a complete package, a story told through pictures that can be printed into an Album for you to keep forever.

I only do a limited number of weddings per year,
so book early to avoid disappointment.

Do you do Formals?
Of course, but I try to keep them snappy and get through them in a timely manner as I also realise that some people dislike being in them.

But I don't want any formals.
That's fine too, it's your wedding after all.

I don’t want you there at the Prep.
No problem, tell me when you want me to start and that’s when I will arrive.

I’m not keen on doing the posed photos of us two.
Although taking the bride and groom off to do these portraits is my favourite part of the day and often what people book me for, if that’s not your thing, then that’s fine we don’t have to do that if you don’t feel comfortable with it.

Do you use an assistant?
I work with an assistant on the vast majority of my weddings as I enjoy the company. I have however completed many weddings alone, and should that be the case for your wedding, rest assured that your coverage will not be affected. You will still get the High quality photos you see throughout my site.

How late do you stay?
I stay until a few songs after the first dance, or until roughly 10pm, whichever comes first. But I always make sure I am happy with my coverage and that you are happy for me to finish as well.

What’s the next step?
Send me an email or call me and we’ll have a meeting to discuss the finer details.

After the meeting, how long do I have to think about it?
I reserve your date for 2 weeks following the meeting, if I get an enquiry in that time, I will call you. After the 2 weeks, the date is considered open again.

I can't get to Surrey for a meeting.
If you live in or near Retford, then we’ll meet in Retford, otherwise, a meeting isn’t strictly necessary and I’m happy to take the booking without meeting you before the big day.

Surrey or Retford?
Although I live in Surrey, I’m originally from Retford in Nottinghamshire with strong family connections there. I’m happy to take wedding bookings in and around the Retford Area so please contact me about what I can do for you.

CD’s and Copyright?
My policy with CD’s is to grant you an indefinite licence that allows you to print and copy the CD and the files upon it to your hearts content. All files I give on the CD are at full resolution and ready for printing.

Are you insured?
Absolutely, I have Professional indemnity and Public Liability Insurance.

Do you have back up equipment?
Yes, I do, I have multiple camera bodies and numerous lenses.

What happens if you're ill?
Unless it's really serious, I'll take some medication and be there on the day.

And if it's really serious?
I know lots of photographers in the area, plus the assistants I often use, so in the unlikely event of a serious illness, I'd ask another photographer to be there on the day who I trust to do a great job. There's no additional charge for this.

How much is your booking fee?
For the packages, a £500 non-refundable booking fee secures the day, for my other services, it's roughly just under 50% of the total.

How come Wedding Photographers cost so much?
As business owners, we are subject to a number of overheads and running costs which reduce our profit margins to a small percentage of the value of your photography. Our costs include the products we buy in for you (such as albums which are hundreds of pounds each), our various insurances and professional fees, website and advertising charges, equipment costs and more besides.
I estimate that our average wedding service entails at least 7 full days of time and effort alone, usually more. This includes everything from our meetings with our clients, visiting venues, shooting the big day, the days spent on editing the photos after the wedding and designing the album as well.

What about prints and the CD of images? They can be expensive too, but its just a bit of paper or plastic!
True, but then you could say the Mona Lisa is just a bit of canvas on a wood frame that's got some paint on it, and yet it's priceless. Now, I'd never compare myself to Da-Vinci, but the principle is the same. It's not the materials, its the time and effort and skill involved along with the emotional value of the finished Artwork that makes something like a photograph valuable.

Do you do more then one wedding a day?
No, I only do one a day.

Do you visit the venue before the Wedding day?
If it's a venue I have not been to before, and it's not on the other side of the country, then yes, I often do a quick scout of the venue.

Would you be able to meet us at the venue so we can show you what we would like to do there?
Of course I can do a meeting with you both, it's included as part of the packages above anyway. I might even bring the camera to get some photos of you both!
