This isn’t always possible due to being a busy boss babe, and that I photograph weddings across the UK (your girl loves to travel. However I would love to do a Zoom with you as it is so important to find the right photographer for you. Just use the Contact form and we can get this thing going!

I’m based in Hastings, East Sussex but I do travel all over for my couples! If you’re getting married outside the UK, let me know and I can adjust your package.
-
I get multiple enquiries for the same date, so as soon as you have your venue confirmed, let me know, it’s so horrible turning a couple away who have their heart set on you. To confirm your booking and secure your date with me, I need 2 things: £300 non-refundable booking fee and signed contract. The rest of your balance is due 30 days before your date.

A second photographer is a great option for weddings with 80+ guests/where candid guest moments are particularly important for you. An experienced second shooter costs £350 and all images will be edited by me to flow perfectly with your full gallery.

Don’t worry, it’s totally natural to feel this way, in fact most of my couples do. This is exactly what I am here to help you with, there’s nothing forced or posey involved, it’s all about having a wander and a chat, and I will give you natural and gentle guidance along the way.

Yes I am fully insured and have Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance. Sometimes your wedding venue might request proof of this, which I am happy to pass on to them.

Think of this as a practice session - it can be really useful for those who are shy to get a feel for how I approach your portraits. My approach is very relaxed, I will guide you rather than pose you. Plus you also get some gorgeous photographs to treasure.
I have put together a super handy guide about pre-wedding shoots right here!

I totally understand how important group photographs are for your loved ones. I like to limit them to around 8, that’s so you and your guests can enjoy your day as much as possible - it also means I get to snap away in my candid, natural style and capture those ‘laughing your head off’/’wiping a tear away’ moments in all their glory.

I photograph weddings across the country, and with over 250 weddings in four years, I tend to photograph lots of different venues and have photographed only a couple of venues more than once. It’s my strength as a photographer to see the creative and special qualities of your venue. If I haven’t been to your venue before, don’t worry this is where my creativity kicks in; it’s like seeing your wedding with a totally fresh pair of eyes! Every wedding is different and special, and so much more than just your venue, all the elements of your day combine to make it truly unique.

Your wedding memories deserve the best, so I only work with carefully chosen suppliers to provide my heirloom albums, using the best techniques and materials. Albums begin from £400, just ask for my albums guide for more info.

No, sorry RAW files are not something I make readily available. This is quite standard in the photography industry.
Let me explain why rather than just seem like a crabby mean photographer ;)
To begin with, to view them requires specialised software such as Adobe Lightroom, programmes which are expensive and usually only owned by professionals. This means they’re just not accessible to many of my couples.Most of the image not delivered to you are outtakes (people blinking or with their mouths open, out of focus, poor lighting etc.), so the few people who can access them tend to find the RAW files are nothing like the final result.
I always put a lot of love into the editing process, giving them your images the extra care and style you see in them. -
Sorry but no I don’t offer discounts for a number of reasons including fairness for all my couples.
As photographers we are giving you the only tangible affirmation of your wedding day; the memories you will hang on your walls and reminisce with for years to come. -
Yes absolutely! It’s really important that you view how my style works across an w tire wedding day, featuring all the key moments. For this reason I put a lot of images in my blog posts and am always happy to share full wedding galleries with you before booking. Take a look through a few blog posts and get in touch if you'd like to see some full galleries.

Hands down, a good G&T. Champagne is a close second. I am on most days however, a chronic tea drinker. Let’s share a glass of something special and toast to the best day ever!
