I’m not too keen on having my photograph taken, how do you deal with this?
Lots of people aren’t keen on being in front of the camera. However the way I work means that you will be unaware that I’m taking your picture as I don’t control, direct or prompt you. So many of my clients tell me that they forgot I was there and just had a fantastic day.
Are you a full time Wedding Photographer?
I am and have been for 20+ years now, it‘s my sole source of income.
Does it matter if you’ve not photographed at my venue previously?
Even though I’ve shot weddings at probably more than 250 venues I still regularly work at places I’ve not been to before. It makes no difference as the most important thing for me at a wedding is my clients and guests. It also means that I am seeing things with fresh eyes which excites me. I always arrive early at venues however, so I’m well prepared.
Will you photograph my Winter Wedding?
Absolutely, I love winter weddings and although they offer a different challenge they are intimate and I thrive on the challenge.
Are you ok with my guests taking photographs at my wedding?
Of course it’s not a problem. All I ask is that guests respect the fact that I am the professional photographer at your wedding and they don’t purposely stand in front of me, for example when you’re walking down the aisle.
Is it important to meet you before the wedding?
I do like to meet up before the wedding to go through details and talk about your expectations of photography.
Can you photograph some groups and couple shots?
Absolutely, and I do at most weddings. I can complete the group shots very quickly so you can spend your time with friends and family. I’m also be happy to photograph you both and produce some lovely portraits.
So before and after our wedding, what is the process?
Each wedding for me is around 50hrs work, people don’t realise this, often thinking wedding photographers work one day a week. Prior to the wedding there is the consultation with you either over the phone or in person if you’d prefer. Then my own planning and preparation for your wedding, travelling, photographing your wedding and of course travelling home. Then in the office I download your images and complete an initial edit I then archive those images. Then with fresh eyes I will edit again and then I will individually process your images, correcting the colour, density, contrast etc, this part alone takes around 10-12hrs. After processing your images I will order the images into the correct timeline, resize the images.
