WEDDING HINTS & TIPS | THE BOOKING PROCESS
IN THIS VIDEO, I TALK YOU THROUGH THE VARIOUS STEPS FROM INITIAL ENQUIRY, THE INFORMAL ZOOM OR PHONE CALL, TO HOPEFULLY THE BOOKING, THE WEDDING DAY AND FINALLY, THE DELIVERY OF THE IMAGES.
📸 Don’t fancy watching the video? Prefer to read? Here’s how it all works…
STEP 1 – Let’s Have a Chat
Once you’ve dropped me a quick message (via email, text or WhatsApp) and shared a few details about your wedding day, I’ll reply as soon as I can with a link to my Wedding Chat Calendar.
From there, you can pick a time that works best for a quick Zoom or phone call. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we can chat through your plans, timings, and any photography-related questions you might have. It’s also a chance for you to get a feel for how I work.
STEP 2 – Booking & Securing Your Date
Some couples love the chat first. Others see my work, check out the website and socials, and just know I’m the right fit — skipping straight to booking. That’s absolutely fine!
To confirm your booking, I’ll send a link to a secure online booking form. Once that’s filled out, I’ll generate your wedding contract, which you can sign digitally. After signing, you’ll be taken to a secure payment page to pay the booking fee:
£300 for UK weddings
£500 for destination weddings
Please note: Your date is only confirmed once the contract is signed and the booking fee is paid. After that, the date is reserved for you exclusively.
STEP 3 – Pre-Wedding Catch-Up
Around 8 weeks before the big day, I’ll be in touch to book in a final catch-up call. During this chat, we’ll run through:
The full timeline of the day
Any travel between locations
The family formals list (if needed)
Any last questions you have
It’s after this final pre-wedding chat that I ask for the final balance to be paid.
STEP 4 – The Wedding Day
This is the fun bit! My approach is calm, candid and documentary-style — I work in the background, capturing genuine moments without interfering.
You won’t catch me bossing guests around, staging awkward shots, or doing anything that disrupts the flow of your day. And I definitely won’t be touching the dress — I’ve had too many nightmares about that! 😅
What you will get is honest, heartfelt coverage of your wedding, told through relaxed images that feel like memories — not staged moments.
STEP 5 – Delivery of Your Wedding Photos
Your full wedding gallery will be delivered via a secure online gallery system within four weeks of the wedding.
You’ll be able to:
View your wedding images on desktop or mobile
Download in full-resolution (no watermarks!)
Share the gallery with friends & family
Create a favourites list
Order professional-quality prints
Start designing your wedding album (if ordered)
There’s no upper or lower limit to the number of images I deliver — every wedding is different, and I deliver everything that tells the story of your day.
