Frequently Asked Wedding Photography Questions
Here are some of the most common questions I get asked about my wedding photography services. If you have a question not covered here, feel free to get in touch!
How far do you travel?
I will travel anywhere for the right wedding! Anywhere outside of my 50 mile radius (Oxford city centre) will result in an additonal travel/fuel cost.
Can we meet you before the day?
Absolutely! I love getting to know my couples beforehand to ensure we’re all comfortable and aligned. Whether it’s over a coffee or a video call, let’s chat!
Do you take group shots?
Yes, however I do advise keeping these short and sweet! As they can become time consuming and I believe your wedding day is there to be enjoyed with your guests and not spending too much time taking formal photos.
What is your booking process?
I will send across my digital contract for you to read through and sign. Once you’re signed, I then ask that you pay a £100 deposit to secure the booking. Once I have recieved the signature and deposit I’m all yours!
When will I recieve my gallery?
I always try to deliver my galleries to my clients within 3 weeks of the wedding. It’s very rare that I go past this length of time.
Do you do prints?
There is a print store built into the online gallery, which provides many different options for prints.
Colour photos or black & white?
Both! I will edit all the photos in colour and all of the photos in black & white. The gallery just flows so much nicer when it’s either one or the other!
Do you have insurance?
Yes I have Public Liability insurance, Professional Indemnity and equipment insurance.
What are your couple shoots like on the day?
Relaxed and fun! This will most likely be your first time away from your guests as a married couple and I want you to enjoy every moment of it! I will never make you feel awkward or uncomfortable. We’ll get natural shots of you both chatting away, walking around and just having fun. The shoot is 10-20 minutes long usually.
How far in advance should we book you?
The sooner, the better! Popular dates (especially during the summer) can get booked up quickly. If you’re considering booking, reach out as early as possible to secure your date.
Do you work with a second photographer?
For most weddings, I work solo, but I can arrange for a second photographer if requested. A second photographer is great for larger weddings or when multiple locations need to be covered. Additional costs apply.
What happens if you’re unwell or unable to attend our wedding?
I have a network of trusted professional photographers who I can call on if an emergency arises. I would ensure a photographer with a similar style steps in, and I would still handle all the editing and delivery of your photos.
Do you offer videography services?
I focus solely on photography, but I can recommend some excellent videographers if you’re looking for both photo and video coverage.
What if it rains on our wedding day?
Rain doesn’t have to ruin your day or your photos! I’m experienced in working with all weather conditions and will have backup plans for indoor or covered shots. Rain can even make for some stunning, romantic photos!
How do you handle low-light situations?
I’m equipped with professional cameras and lenses that perform well in low light, as well as discreet lighting equipment if needed. Whether it’s a dimly lit ceremony or an evening reception, I’ve got you covered.
What happens after the wedding?
Once your wedding is over, I’ll carefully back up your photos to ensure their safety. I’ll then begin editing your images, creating a gallery of your big day!
