I live in Dundee but do not charge travel expenses for Scottish weddings unless they are more than a 6 hour round trip. I enjoy weddings in England but require to stay over the night before so there aren't any traffic issues arriving for 10am.
Where are you located?
Do you retouch the images?
I retouch every image. I soften skin and remove blemishes. Extensive photoshopping (changing body composition is additional.) With the advent of AI, the majority of modern photographers are not retouching every image in 2023.
What is a pre wedding photoshoot?
A pre wedding photoshoot is unlike your wedding day (not a photoshoot!) and gives you amazing photos from a special place to you, and also gets you comfortable in front of the camera with me. Having a giggle with your photographer and seeing yourself in their images is the ultimate way to relax knowing your wedding photographs are going to be amazing.
Do I have to pay for the full resolution images?
There are no hidden costs, all images are edited to a high level (no spots on faces, skin softened) and provided in full resolution and web size so that you can upload to social media without crunching the file quality.
What cameras are you using?
I use the latest Canon cameras to match my surname! I am well known amongst photographers for throwing money at the best systems and lenses. I have 6 mirrorless cameras so that I am able to leave cameras filming while I am photographing, as well as my assistant who brings a further three. I change my cameras each year rather than service them so I can have new toys (as well as maximum reliability). My cameras are silent so not to spoil ceremonies.
Yes, I have full public liability and drone certification.
Do you have insurance?
How many weddings do you shoot each year?
30 is the maximum number in a normal year, I shot 51 in 2022 due to cancellations and helping out other unwell photographers.
Can we take the album out? Do we have to buy prints from your store?
Yes you can remove the album included in your collection. And no you can print the images at Tesco, they just won't be as nice!
How do you deliver the photographs?
I deliver the photos via a beautiful online password protected album on my website. This way you can share the password with all your family and friends - allowing them to download the photos themselves.
What is your turnaround time?
Approximately 4-6 weeks for photos (up to 6-8 weeks in summer) Photo & Film 6-8 weeks (10-12 weeks in summer). I also always give you 10 highlight photos the day after your wedding.
How many images will I receive?
As every wedding is different I can never guarantee the final number of images but in most cases it's between 500-1000.
