Frequently Asked Questions

I understand that cameras on phones now are incredible - they truly are! 

HOWEVER, a professional photographer has years of experience and knowledge (and most importantly, an artistic eye) which allows them to see moments, and how best to capture it! 

After all - it's not about the archer's arrows or bow, but more about the archer themself!

If you want the best results for the big occasion, a professional photographer will always be the best option!

I specialise in quite a range of photography, focusing primarily on a photo-journalistic approach. I take photographs of all events and occasions where you need me - and where you would like memories to captured. 

I have the capabilities to shoot both, but I don't offer both to be done by me solely. Weddings are extremely important days that go by so quickly, and in order for the day to be captured perfectly, you need at least one photographer and one videographer. 

I offer a photo and video package, which utilises myself and another wonderful artist to help capture your day - ensuring that you receive beautiful images from your day.

Each event is different and unique from the next - and I like to ensure that the events I cover a specifically cared for, offering a bespoke approach to each event. The cost will be effected by duration of the event, the location of the event and how many photographers/videographers are required to cover the event. ASK ME FOR A QUOTE TO FIND OUT MORE 

I will post images onto an online gallery (Pic-Time), so you have the opportunity to look through and download your images as you feel fit. In some cases, if requested, I can even get photographs printed.

For weddings and events, I will send out a contract that requires a non-refundable (usually 25% of the total amount) deposit to be paid. This holds the date for you, so you have peace of mind that your date is my only priority. 

It's non-refundable to ensure to me that the event is going ahead with me as photographer/videographer.

This all depends on what package, or purpose of you hiring me.

Generally for weddings, I am hired for 10 hours with some events lasting for 4 hours.

Pet Photography, Family Portraits and Business Promotion sessions can last between 1 and 3 hours.

Absolutely! I encourage you to share any specific requests or ideas you may have for your photos.

Every session I do, whether it be a wedding or family portraits - I save the photos for a minimum of 1 year. But in most cases, I will have them on file for as long as possible. 

I back up every shoot straight away, to ensure your images are on my hard drives for storage.

In most cases, no, you don't have ownership of the photos - unless this has been communicated with me previously. 

Weddings and Events - I usually state that I maintain ownership for copyright to ensure my photos aren't used elsewhere for marketing purposes without fair credit.
