I receive all my bookings online to ensure no vital details are missed. Click one of the 'ENQUIRE NOW' buttons and you'll be taken to a contact form  where you can supply all your details. Once we've had a zoom call and you're still eager to book I'll send you all the info you need via my client booking system. This includes an easy to sign contract, your quote and a questionnaire all boxed up in a client portal for you so everything is together.  

I receive hundreds of enquiries each year so I work on a first come first served basis. If you decide I'm the photographer for you I require a deposit of £200 to secure your date.

The amount of photos you receive is dependent on the number of hours of photography. My Micro collection (4 hrs) captures around 300 pictures while the full day option (8-10 hrs) receives approximately 650+ photographs.

Each image is edited to the highest possible standard. If I feel I can give more than the number listed I always do. Your investment factors in my time spent culling your images to ensure you are given the cream of the crop! 

No. I shoot weddings all over the UK; it’s fairly common for me not to see the venue beforehand. I like to arrive early giving myself time to explore the grounds and interiors. I find this enables me to shoot with fresh eyes and produce my most creative work.

Don't worry most people feel a bit awkward at first but I’ll put you at ease in no time! You can see from my organic style that couples are free to be themselves which is what creates beautiful, natural images.

It would take a lot to stop me photographing a wedding. If the worse happened, and I couldn’t photograph your wedding, I have a network of fantastic photographers who would capture your day. The photographer's work would be of a similar style and quality to mine and I would edit, and deliver, the service after the wedding day. 

An engagement shoot gives us the opportunity to get to know each other and capture some amazing images to incorporate into your upcoming wedding. It offers you time to become more comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. You can choose a location which is special to you or I can recommend somewhere. We will spend approximately an hour capturing a number of natural portraits as well as some more styled shots you will love. You can expect to receive around 35 - 45 images from your shoot.

Absolutely, I hold full public liability and indemnity insurance.

I offer an exceptional album design service where I collaborate with 

. The collection of luxury wedding albums and professional photo books are designed with photographers in mind, offering unparalleled high quality that you will treasure. The range of premium albums are made in the UK, handcrafted in our Yorkshire workshop using archival inks, museum-grade papers and a range of beautifully curated covers to personalise. Not only is this an outstanding eco-supplier but they're UK based too so no unnecessary carbon footprints. As an Eco conscious supplier myself I pride my business on its sustainability and eco-friendly practices so partnering with likeminded companies is very important to me. 

I deliver a stunning preview of roughly 100 images within 7 days of your wedding. Your full wedding gallery will be delivered between 5-6 weeks after, depending on how busy my editing schedule is at that time. 

Yes, as a professional photographer I am equipped for any technical problem – should a camera, lens or SD card stop working I have additional equipment I can use. I bring a case with another camera, lenses, batteries, SD cards and flash lights.
