I combine a dreamy, romantic, whimsical style with natural, relaxed, reportage.

For the most part, I unobtrusively capture natural moments and genuine expressions throughout your entire day. For the images of you both as a couple and for any group shots you may wish to have, however, I offer a little gentle guidance and direction to ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed, and so that we find the most flattering angles and light.

I also focus on all the details, effort, time and love that has gone into making your wedding truly your own.

You'll want to look back at the photos and remember not only how your day looked but also how it felt. I am passionate about preserving memories through my images, which will continue to prolong the joy beyond the day itself, after the cake has been eaten, the dress has been dry-cleaned and the bouquet has decided the next bride-to-be. My goal is to capture the day much like a story - the way it starts, how it unfolds and of course, the hopeful beginning of that happy ever after!

After the wedding, I dedicate my time to editing and styling your images. I'm proud to be able to offer a speedy turnaround of 3 weeks while I complete this process and prepare and present your images in a password-protected online gallery, which you can share if you wish. I often complete this sooner, particularly in quieter months. These images will be non-watermarked, high-resolution digital JPEGS, which are specially optimised for printing and can be used to create your own produces, if you wish! You can also choose to add on additional services and prodacts such as an album or prints. Design and production timescales vary.

I don't limit the number of images I provide, or hold back images for the sake of it. I usually provide an average of around 70-100 images per hour of coverage. Of course, it can vary, but this is to give you an idea.

Anything you like!The only thing, you can't do is sell the photos or use them commercially without my permission. All this means is that if you want to submit them for use in anything outside your own personal social media profiles, just send me an email so I can ensure they are properly credited. It's also just a way of me monitoring how the photos are used and ensure my work is not negatively connected with anything deemed to be offensive or prejudiced in any way, so as to protect my business from racist or homophobic associations, for example.Other than that, you're free to order your own prints and make your own products such as albums and canvases; the world is your oyster! If you're doing this yourself, I'd absolutely love to see what creative projects you get up to! Please do drop me an email or tag me on Instagram! This can act like a testimonial and help with my ongoing marketing! Thank you so much!

Yes. I edit and retouch very sensitively to ensure that the photos look like you on a good day! I know that, ultimately, you want you to see yourself looking your best in the photos. Mostly, I aim to get this perfect in-camera, using my skills to find flattering angles and lighting from the outset, but if you get a temporary blemish on the day, for example, you can rest assured that I'll zap it! I avoid obvious changes or heavy retouching that gives the game away! Any additional or extensive retouching is not included.

The editing and styling process in general is largely about making an artistic judgement on each photo and aiming for a cohesive collection to blend my signature style with the context of the original image. I may adjust the crop or exposure, for example, or sometimes convert to black and white, if I feel that this would enhance the image. Each image is individually edited to reflect my signature style and finish, so you'll recognise the style you hired me for.

In essence, it's standard for me to share some highlights, but I'd never do so without your permission.

Much as you are currently doing in your search for a photographer, couples want to see my work before deciding. You'll likely have looked at my website and social media images to help determine whether I'm the right photographer for you. In a 'pay it forward' kind of way, I politely ask that couples consent to this usage in our agreement, which you'll sign upon booking, since images are fundamental to my business.

It is usually only in the case of sensitive or high profile careers that I'm asked not to share the images on my website which of course, I respect. Similarly, I am mindful of child protection, and I'll always ask for additional permission if l'd like to include any photos of children.

I fully understand that views about sharing on social media, in particular, are divided and you can let me know you feel about this at our pre-wedding meeting. In any case. I usually only use social media to show you a few sneak peeks, though this is absolutely at your preference.

Typically, a wedding day has a few common key elements:

• Getting Ready

• Ceremony

• Meal

• Speeches

• Cake Cut

• First Dance

  If you'd like all of these elements captured, then it's best to book me full-day coverage, which gives you 8 hours of coverage as standard, though you can bolt on more time if you events span a wider time which can be the case with multiple locations or distance between them. This is my most frequently requested length of coverage and usually scans around 1.5-2 hours of preparations through to 30 minutes after the first dance, for optimal coverage.

  However, as optional extras, you might also like to capture your partner's preparations, or ask me to stay later into the evening.

  ---

  Alternatively, you might prefer part-day coverage, in which case you'll need to choose which neighbouring elements of your day are the most important to you. This can span anywhere from 2-6 hours.

  Most couples opting for shorter coverage choose to capture:

• Getting ready until the entrance to the wedding breakfast or pre-meal speeches, with candids, room decor and faux cake cut

• Ceremony through to the first dance

• Ceremony and then portraits afterwards with some candids, room decor and faux cake cut

  If you're trying to figure out how long you'd like, some general advice is to work from 30 minutes before your ceremony time.

  If you want to include getting ready coverage, please also consider time to travel to and park at your ceremony venue, around 30-minutes ahead of you.

  Where you wish to cover your first dance, please factor in 30 minutes afterwards to account late running.

As rough guide, I cover Kent, Thanet, East Sussex and the Kent/London border.

You'll both be able to see aspects of your wedding which you weren't able to see on the actual day. It's exciting and gives you some surprises to look forward to after the wedding day is over (boo)! If you are both getting ready in the same place (ie. the same hotel) or within a short walking distance of each other, then this is included if time allows. In most other circumstances whereby you are getting ready in different locations, you can book this as an additional service with my second shooter, if you fancy it.

It's an added, additional perspective, if you feel you need it. It's not a necessity and I don't include it as standard so as to keep the cost down for couples.

If you choose to add on this service, my second phocographer will have two main responsibilities; the first is to help ensure smooth-running. For example, by helping to rally and organise your guess for any group shots you may wish to have - this is handy if you don't have anyone who could help with this.

At all other times, my second photographer will be helping to maximise the coverage of your day by providing a different perspective, focus or angle.

I edit in my style co ensure a cohesive collection.

The most significant reason to book my second photographer is so you can also add on a separate location to capture your partner's perparations, and this is a service you can book all by itself. My second photographer will be acting as the main photographer for this period.

A second photographer is an additional expense due to additional time, editing, and logistics involved.

It's a fact of life that technology can and does have occasional issues. However, I have at least two of everything and unless something extreme happens, I will have enough equipment with me as a back-up on the day. Phew!

I also have comprehensive insurance and my equipment is well maintained so I have taken every preparatory step I can to protect your images.

You may also like to know that I shoot with two cameras and both have a dual card slot. This means that the photos are written as duplicates to two memory cards at the same time. Therefore, if one card fails for any reason, there are duplicate images on the partner card. Even better, since I shoot with two cameras, I have four memory cards recording images throughout the entire day! I have every portion of your day across at least four memory cards, and that's before any second shooter's images, too.
