• What's the delivery time for photographic report?

  This is dependant on my work load and current bookings. I always aim to offer the quickest service possible. But as you can imagine it can take time to professionally sort and edit all the images from your wedding day. Maximum turn around time for your first preview of the photos should be 4 weeks, extra time can be needed to design your wedding album and work with you to ensure it includes the images you choose.

• Do you send all the photos taken?

  No. During the day I could take 1000's of images. Even with the most expensive professional equipment there are always going to be some images that just are not good enough. So to save you the daunting task of sifting through them all I only provide the best. You will still have 100's of special memories from your wedding day.

• Do you work alone or do you have a team of professionals?

• In case of unforeseen circumstances, do you have a replacement photographer?

  If the worst was to happen I would find a replacement photographer to cover your wedding day. I would communicate closely with them to ensure they meet the exact requirements we have agreed on.

  Yes, all photographer in the UK retain the copyright for any images they have taken and can legally publish the images as they wish. However if there are any photos that you specifically don't want to be published, that is fine with me. I want to work with you to ensure your are happy with the service you receive from me.
