Questions
What photography styles do you specialise in?
I focus on natural, documentary-style wedding photography and lifestyle portraits. My approach prioritises candid moments and authentic expressions over posed shots, creating timeless visual narratives.
Do you travel for photography sessions?
Yes, I cover weddings and portraits throughout the North East and surrounding regions including Northumberland, Yorkshire, and the Lake District. Travel costs apply beyond local areas.
How long does a typical portrait session last?
Portrait sessions usually take 1-2 hours depending on location and number of subjects. Newborn sessions may require additional time to accommodate baby's needs and feeding breaks.
What's included in wedding photography packages?
Packages include full-day coverage, high-resolution digital images, online gallery access, and print release. Optional add-ons include albums, second shooters, and extended coverage hours.
How do you handle challenging weather conditions?
I work with clients to create contingency plans for outdoor sessions. For weddings, I utilise creative indoor alternatives and have extensive experience capturing memorable shots in all weather conditions.
Can we request specific photo edits or styles?
Yes, I offer custom editing options to match your preferences. This includes black-and-white conversions, vintage effects, and specific colour grading to complement your event or personal style.
