FAQ's

 

A few of the more common questions we get asked. If you need to ask anything else, just use the contact form

Are there any travel costs involved?

Where your wedding is held within reasonable travelling distance, then travel is of course included. As long as we can be there on the morning of your wedding fresh and raring to go, and can do this without the need of an overnight stay the night before then we do not charge additional travel expenses. We're more than happy to travel UK wide though, and if you think your venue(s) is outside of this remit then feel free to check with us to give you an idea of any related expenses that could possibly be involved. Please message us for a detailed quote if this might be you.

How long will you stay at our wedding?

This is totally up to you and of course depends on what option you go for. Our, 'The Modern', all day coverage, sees us being with you from getting ready through to the evening party side of your celebrations. If, however you're simply looking for short duration coverage for your wedding day photography then we're equally as up for this too. This is ideal for a smaller, more intimate day or elopement, or when you just want a professional photographer there for a small amount of time to capture those essential shots.  We have options and can tailor a package to suit the wedding coverage you need, no problem!

 

 

I/we hate having to pose for photographs. Are posed photos your thing?
It can be daunting to feel under the spotlight on your wedding day and this is one of the reasons we try to stay away from those obviously posed, staged shots that can look awkward and make you feel uncomfortable and not really yourselves on your wedding day. We're not at all bossy. Its your day and we always keep that at the forefront of how we shoot. This is especially so for your Newlyweds session. We won't expect you to spend more time than you'd both either want to, or expect to have to, away from your guests and your own wedding day celebrations for this. The way we like to do these shots (IF you want them that is, its not compulsory) is by taking an informal and relaxed walk with you both for around 10/15 minutes, where we can fire off some natural photos of just the two of you being yourselves, as you take a little breather together and enjoy a short time away from all the hubbub. No awkward posing, we promise, but Kara may just throw in some visual guidance if needs be, so at least you know what to do with your hands.
How long will it be before we get to see our photos?

Within 4 -12 weeks max. Our turn around time of course depends on how busy we are. Summer months are obviously particularly busy for us so it can take that bit longer to get your photographs. We provide you with a small preview of your edited photos within a couple of weeks after your wedding day and, IF the (max) 12 week wait looks to be exceeded for any reason, (to date it never has) then we would absolutely keep you in the loop.

Are you insured?

Yes. We're fully insured for both Professional Indemnity and for Public Liability. Certificate is available for anyone that may require this.

 

Do we have to feed you?

The short answer is no, you do not have to feed us on your wedding day.  We always take supplies with us to get us through the day. That being said it can be a very log day for us, especially if we're travelling some distance to shoot your wedding so if it's something you want to do we will always be happy, and ever so grateful to accept the kind offer of food.

What is your style?

Documentary-style is how we would describe our approach to photographing a wedding day. We believe in authenticity so our photography style reflects this. These types of wedding photos are all about capturing candid moments or spontaneous pictures of you and your people, decor and action. We tell the story of your wedding day, through photos, by focusing less on capturing the perfect technical photo and more on capturing the moments that contribute to the 'mood' of the day. Our approach is very candid in nature and our aim is to capture the reality of your wedding day as you immerse yourselves amongst your guests. Giving us the best opportunities to get you the photos that you will want to see and often will never have even know we've taken.
