FAQS

Some questions that crop up in relation to wedding photography - hopefully answered below. If there is something you'd like to know that we haven't covered then please get in touch.

Why pay for a professional wedding photographer?  

It's a huge responsibility to photograph a wedding, after all, you only have one shot at it! We give that responsibility the respect it deserves and our knowledge, training, experience and creative skills ensure you have the perfect pictures you'd expect. The 'friend with a camera' option may seem attractive when looking at the figures but imagine how heartbroken you'd be if your photographs weren't as you hoped. Wedding photography is our profession and just as we may be able to fix a leaky tap, it doesn't make us professional plumbers… you get the picture!

How many photographs will we get?

We will shoot many photographs on the day but after careful editing, colour balancing and retouching you will have a minimum of 300. We will edit out any images that don't work ie. somebody with their eyes closed so you have only perfect images.

Can I print the pictures on the DVD?

Absolutely. You have licence to use them as you wish but only for personal use. We will supply them on a DVD and they will be saved at the highest quality ready for printing. We still hold the copyright which means we too may use them for our portfolio or promotional purposes. 

We'd like some formal portraits - will you take these?

Yes of course we will. Its your day and a shot list will be tailored to you, to include any formal portraits and specific ideas you may have. Because we have experienced many wedding days we know how time can disappear, so we do recommend with good reason that you try to limit the formal portraits to about 10 or 12. Luckily of course, as we work as a team of two, one of us is will be continuing to capture informal shots whilst the portraits are being taken - making sure nothing is missed!

What happens if it rains?

We always recommend a pretty umbrella is purchased for the big day, just in case. In our experience, the weather has never spoiled a wedding day, come the day with all its excitement and emotion the weather will be the last thing on your mind and we'll always have a contingency plan up our sleeves - studio lights and an indoor location, a pretty bench with a cool umbrella etc. When it has rained at weddings previously, it rarely rains all day long and we have always managed to find a break in the clouds when we'll whisk you off for some beautiful portraits.

If you're ill what happens?!

Thankfully in seven years it hasn't happened! But if we were too ill or some other emergency prevented us from being able to photograph your wedding we would call upon one of our associates who shoot to the same style and standard as Steve and myself. Being in the photography industry we have built up a good network of respected colleagues who we can call upon in this situation.
