Questions
What style of wedding photography do you specialise in?
I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography focusing on candid moments and natural storytelling. My approach prioritises capturing authentic emotions and spontaneous interactions throughout your day.
Do you offer coverage outside Hampshire?
Yes, while based in Hampshire I regularly photograph weddings across the UK and internationally. Travel costs apply for locations beyond Hampshire, with bespoke quotes available upon request.
What's included in your wedding packages?
All packages include high-resolution edited images, private online gallery access, pre-wedding consultation, and photographer's travel expenses. Premium packages add features like printed albums and second photographer services.
How do you handle poor weather on wedding days?
I adapt to weather conditions to ensure quality photography. Rain can create dramatic backdrops, while extreme weather prompts creative indoor compositions. Your safety and comfort always take priority during shoots.
Can we request specific photo styles or poses?
While I specialise in candid photography, I accommodate requests for formal group shots and creative portraits. Most clients appreciate my natural approach, but we'll discuss preferences during your pre-wedding consultation.
Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding shoots?
Yes, I recommend engagement shoots to build comfort with photography. These sessions help establish rapport and provide shareable content while reducing camera self-consciousness on your wedding day.
