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 all day coverage sees us being with you from getting ready through to the evening party, and all the revelry. We particularly love this time and the funtastic shots we get. Just looking for your ceremony and a few group/newlyweds shots for a more intimate occasion? Then that’s OK too, we have options and can tailor a package to suit the wedding coverage you need, no problem!

 

 

I hate having my photograph taken. Do I have to pose for you at all?
We honestly know what you mean! However, our ninja skills are pretty nifty so we're very effective at capturing all those spontaneous, funny and loved up moments throughout your day as they happen. This is where having two of us taking photographs comes into its own for sure. 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 in. We're not bossy in any way, its your day and we always keep that at the forefront of how we shoot. What we won't do is 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 just so that we can get perfect portfolio wow shots of you both - this takes time, lots of time. If you want this though we can oblige of course. Our go to is usually a very informal and relaxed walk with you for 10 mins or so where we can get some photos of just the two of you being yourselves. No posing we promise....but maybe Kara throws in some guidance if required. It works.
How long will it be before we get to see our photos?

 

Within 4 -12 weeks max. The turn around time is, of course, dependant 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'll provide you with a small preview of your edited photos within a couple of weeks after your wedding day. and IF the 12 week wait looks to be exceeded for any reason, (to date it never has) then we would of course 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 requires this.

 

Do I have to feed you?

Contrary to popular belief, and an ever increasing expectation - No, you do not have to feed us on your wedding day. We have our own view on this and reasons why. But in short, we are grown ups going to work so we always take supplies to get us through the day. That being said if it's something you want to do we will always be happy to accept.

What is your style?

We believe in authenticity. Both of the wedding you've created, and you as people. Our approach is very candid in nature. Our aim is to capture the reality of the day, and not concentrate on trying to obtain photos to service our own portfolio. We want you to get absorbed in your own day with your own people as this will give us the opportunities we prefer to get you the photos that you will want to see. Relax. Have Fun. Be Yourselves. It really is the best way. Take a look at some of our galleries to get a feel for the way we like to do things.
