Frequently Asked Questions

WHERE ARE YOU BASED AND DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?

I’m a Dorset wedding photographer, photographing weddings across Dorset, Hampshire, Devon and throughout the UK. I also love travelling for destination weddings across Europe and beyond. Whether you're planning a countryside celebration, a coastal wedding or a city wedding, I’d love to hear about your plans.

HOW DO WE BOOK OUR WEDDING DATE?

To check availability, simply send an enquiry through my contact page. If your date is available, I’ll send over my investment guide and we can arrange a chat if you'd like. To officially secure your date, a signed contract and booking fee are required.

WE FEEL AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA – CAN YOU HELP?

Absolutely — and honestly, most of my couples say exactly the same thing. For most of the day, I’ll capture moments naturally as they happen, so you can focus on enjoying your wedding rather than thinking about the camera. When it comes to portraits, I’ll guide you gently in a relaxed way, without anything feeling overly posed or uncomfortable.

CAN WE MEET BEFORE OUR WEDDING?

Of course. We can meet in person or online, whichever feels easiest. I always love getting to know my couples before the wedding day, and if you choose my full-day package, an engagement session is included too — a lovely way to feel more comfortable in front of the camera.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?

You’ll receive a preview gallery shortly after your wedding, with your full gallery delivered within approximately 6–8 weeks. Every image is carefully selected and edited to create a timeless collection of memories from your day.

CAN WE REQUEST SPECIFIC PHOTOS OR SHARE INSPIRATION?

Definitely. I love hearing your ideas and getting a feel for what matters most to you. If there are specific moments, family photos or inspiration images you love, feel free to share them and we can build a vision together.

DO YOU CHARGE FOR TRAVEL?

I like to keep things simple and transparent. Travel across Dorset and Hampshire is included within my wedding packages. For weddings elsewhere in the UK or destination celebrations, I provide clear travel costs upfront, so everything is easy and stress-free from the beginning.

DO YOU HELP WITH TIMELINES AND PLANNING?

Yes — I’m here for more than just taking photos. I’m always happy to help with timelines, suggest the best light for portraits and share advice from photographing weddings across Dorset and the UK, helping your day feel relaxed and flow naturally.

One day, it will all be a memory. The flowers will wilt, the cake will be eaten, the laughter will fade into stories you tell. But your photographs?

They will be the moments that stay. Ten years from now, they’ll let you step back into the joy, the nerves, the tears and the magic of your wedding day
- as if it’s happening all over again.
