Questions
What style of wedding photography do you specialise in?
I specialise in modern, cinematic wedding photography with artistic influences. My approach focuses on capturing authentic emotions and unscripted moments using film-inspired techniques.
How far in advance should I book your services?
Due to limited commissions, I recommend booking 12-18 months in advance. Early reservations ensure availability for popular wedding dates.
Do you travel for weddings outside London?
Yes, I accept global commissions. Travel expenses are additional to photography fees. My experience working internationally ensures consistent quality regardless of location.
How many images can I expect from a wedding day?
Clients typically receive 800-1,200 carefully edited images from a full-day wedding. The exact number varies based on event duration and natural moments captured.
What post-processing techniques do you use?
I employ professional colour grading and tonal adjustments while maintaining natural skin tones. The cinematic style enhances mood without over-editing, preserving the day's authentic atmosphere.
Are engagement sessions included in your packages?
Engagement sessions are available as optional add-ons. They help build rapport and provide additional storytelling opportunities for couples wanting extended coverage.
