FAQ's
Planning a wedding comes with a lot of questions, and I'm here to make things as easy and enjoyable as possible! Below, you'll find answers to some of the most common questions I receive about wedding photography. From my approach to your big day, to the details of what’s included in each package, I hope this helps you feel informed and excited. If there’s anything else you’re curious about, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to chat!
What's your style of wedding photography?
I describe myself as a documentary photographer, capturing the genuine, unfiltered moments of your wedding day as they naturally unfold. At the same time, I love the chance to create more posed images, as this is where my creativity really shines. These moments allow me to craft some of the most stunning and timeless images, blending authentic emotion with a touch of artistry to tell your unique love story.

​
Do you travel for weddings outside of Kent, and is there an additional cost?​
Yes, I absolutely love photographing weddings outside of Kent! Exploring new locations adds an exciting dimension to capturing your special day. For weddings more than an hour away from Sevenoaks, however, there are additional travel fees to cover the extra distance.
​
​
​How do you help couples feel comfortable in front of the camera?​
I know that being in front of the camera can feel challenging, especially on your wedding day. My approach is to start slow and warm you up, guiding you through some easy and natural poses. By the end of the session, we’ll have captured some truly amazing photos where both of you look relaxed and completely yourselves. My goal is to make you feel at ease, so the images reflect your authentic connection and joy.
​
​
​Do you offer discounts?
I don't typically offer random discounts, but I do offer a special discount for fully vegan weddings. This discount ranges from 5-10% off my packages, depending on which one you choose. It’s my way of supporting and promoting a compassionate, vegan lifestyle, and I’m thrilled to offer this to couples who share those values.
​
​
When should we book you for our wedding?
I recommend booking 1-2 years in advance to secure your date. This gives you the best chance of ensuring I’m available, as I only take on a limited number of weddings each year to provide the highest level of attention and care to each couple. The earlier you book, the more likely we can make it happen!
​
​
Do you help with planning the wedding day timeline?
Yes, if needed, I’d be more than happy to help with your wedding day timeline! I can provide guidance to ensure there’s plenty of time for photography while keeping everything running smoothly. Just let me know, and we can work on it together.
​
Will our photos be available in both color and black-and-white?
Yes, many of the key moments from your wedding day will be delivered in black and white, as it adds a timeless and emotional touch to certain images. However, not every photo will be provided in both versions, as I carefully select the ones that work best in black and white to complement the story of your day.
​
How do we book you, and what’s your payment schedule?
To book me, all you need to do is fill out my contact form, and I’ll reach out to schedule a short Zoom call. This gives us a chance to get to know each other and for me to learn more about your big day. After that, I’ll send over the contract for you to review and sign. At the time of booking, a deposit is required to secure your date. The deposit amount varies depending on the package you choose.
​
How do you incorporate eco-friendly practices into your photography?
I’m passionate about making my work as eco-friendly as possible. This includes offering digital galleries to reduce the need for printed materials, sourcing sustainably produced albums and prints when requested, and minimizing waste during weddings. I also love working with eco-conscious couples and vendors to ensure your day reflects your values while staying kind to the planet.
​
Do you work with a second shooter or assistant?
Yes, I do have a few amazing second shooters that I work with! While there is an additional cost for adding a second shooter, the benefits are absolutely worth it. With a second shooter, you’ll receive even more beautiful images, capturing moments from multiple perspectives—like both of you getting ready at the same time or candid reactions during the ceremony. It’s essentially double the coverage, ensuring that no special moment is missed. If you’re considering this option, I’d be happy to discuss how it can enhance your wedding gallery.
​
How many photos will we receive, and are they all edited?
Yes, all the photos you receive will be fully edited to ensure they look their absolute best. On a typical wedding day, I generally deliver 500+ images, though this can vary depending on factors like the length of coverage and the events of the day. Each photo is carefully selected and edited to tell the story of your wedding beautifully and authentically.
​
Can we book you for shorter events, like elopements or registry office weddings?
Yes, I do offer separate packages specifically for elopements and smaller events like registry office weddings. These packages are tailored to provide a more focused and intimate experience, capturing the essence of your special day without the traditional wedding timeline. If you're planning a smaller celebration, I'd love to chat and create a package that fits your needs.
​
Do you offer engagement sessions, and are they included in your packages?
Yes, I do offer engagement sessions! However, they’re not included in some of my standard packages, but they can be added on as an optional extra. Engagement sessions are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day and create some beautiful memories together.
​
​
Can we request specific shots or provide a list of must-have photos?
Yes, absolutely! We generally discuss and create a shot list prior to the wedding to ensure I capture all the important moments and any specific photos you want. This helps me understand your vision and ensures nothing is missed on the big day.
​
​
Do you provide direction during the day, or do you prefer a more hands-off approach?
Yes, while I love capturing candid moments, I also direct some poses, especially for couple photos and key group shots. I find that a balance of natural moments and gentle guidance helps create the most beautiful, relaxed images. I’ll make sure you feel comfortable and at ease, whether it’s a quiet moment or a carefully posed shot.
​
​
Do you offer albums or printed products?
Yes, I do offer albums and printed products, and I can send over a pricing list if you’re interested. I believe that having your wedding memories beautifully printed is a perfect way to relive your day for years to come, especially as technology is unpredictable and you may loose those digital copies of your wedding
.
Can we customize a package to fit our needs?
Yes, absolutely! We’d have a Zoom call to discuss your wedding day in more detail, and I’ll be able to better understand your needs and preferences. From there, I can tailor a package that works best for you and ensures you get everything you want from your wedding photography.
