Question 1

Can you cover both bride and groom preparations?

Accepted Answer

Additional photographers are available for £250 to cover the preparations. If you are both getting ready at the same venue, it may be possible to cover both without the need for an additional photographer.

Question 2

What formal photos do you take?

Accepted Answer

Everything… We get it all!
We request that group photographs are kept to a maximum of 10. Should you wish to have more please allocate the extra time within your schedule with your wedding coordinator before the wedding date.

Question 3

How long do you stay for?

Accepted Answer

Unless otherwise requested, we will start from the preparations (2 hours prior to the ceremony start time) right the way through to the evening party. Leaving after the first dance is not us, afterall it’s not called the last dance for a reason.

Question 4

What if we run late?

Accepted Answer

No wedding runs exactly on time, and delays do happen. You don’t need to worry about me disappearing, I always confirm there are no more photographs you would like me to take before I leave.

Question 5

How many photographs will I get?

Accepted Answer

On average we provide 400-700 photos from all full day wedding bookings.

Question 6

What happens if you are ill on the day?

Accepted Answer

We would literally have to be on my deathbeds to not be at your wedding, but rest assured we do have a network of contacts who will take my place if needed. It is our responsibility to provide you with an equal quality photographer or videographer in the event of any of us becoming ill. We are also fully insured, so we get the bill.

Question 7

Do you need feeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes please! If we are there all day It is request a hot meal provided, I have no food allergies and will eat anything put in front of me! However, if this is not possible please note we will have to leave site for an hour and at some venue locations longer. We can’t be held responsible should we miss anything that happens during such time.

Question 8

Can I do my own prints?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for anything A4 or smaller boots or alike is fine, anything above this size we encourage you to use a lab printing service to maximise the professional quality. After all you wouldn’t buy a pair of Jimmy Choo’s and then keep them in a Clarkes box.
All online galleries have a lab printing service attached for your convenience.

Question 9

How do we book?

Accepted Answer

First step is to organise a time with Andy at his office in Upminster or arrange a zoom online meeting to discuss your wedding in more detail. The next step is signing the contact and paying the booking fee.

Question 10

What and when do we pay?

Accepted Answer

A 50% booking fee secures your wedding date and the remaining balance is due 4 weeks before the wedding. You may also spread the cost leading up to the wedding if you wish.

Question 11

How long does it take to edit the photos and video?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the time of year it's around 4-12 weeks.

Question 12

What if your camera breaks on day?

Accepted Answer

Don’t worry, I buy cameras like a lady does shoes… many and often.
Everyone carries a full replica backup kit, we even bring a change of outfit. Now that’s organised.

Question 13

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

Wedding photographers are booked years in advance. I always recommend you book as soon as possible. Remember, get who you want not who is left.

Question 14

Will the photos be in colour or black and white?

Accepted Answer

We shoot in colour and edit the ones we think will benefit from a black and white edit, so you’ll have a mix. If you want any images in black and white or colour let me know the file number and I’ll happily convert them for you.

Question 15

What if you haven’t photographed the venue before?

Accepted Answer

Yay, I love new venues, and this is a positive not a negative. Fresh eyes and outlook on a venue can spot things others can no longer see due to going in to “Auto Pilot” mode, plus you don’t want the same photos as last week’s wedding.

Question 16

What do you wear?

Accepted Answer

Always smart, Afterall it’s a wedding. Plus guests will take their own photos that you will also cherish, you don’t want a scruffy photographer in the background.

Question 17

Where are you based?

Accepted Answer

We're based in Wickford, Essex!
