Frequently Asked Questions
Booking & Pricing
How do I book a session?
It’s really simple. Just head to my Contact page, fill in the form with your details and preferred dates, and I’ll reply within 48 hours to confirm availability and chat through what you're looking for.
What are your pricing packages?
Prices vary depending on the type of shoot. Portrait sessions start from £250, event coverage from £500, and travel/editorial commissions are quoted individually depending on scope. I’m happy to put together custom options, too.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes — for larger shoots and weddings, you can pay in instalments. A 25% deposit secures your date, with the remaining balance due before the final gallery is delivered.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
I understand life gets messy. Cancelling more than 7 days in advance means your deposit is fully refunded. If it’s closer to the date, the deposit is non-refundable — but I’ll always try to reschedule where I can, at no extra cost.
What’s included in the session fee?
Every session includes planning and consultation, the shoot itself, professional editing, and your images delivered in a beautifully curated online gallery. Travel outside a 20-mile radius may incur a small additional fee.
How long does it take to receive my photos?
For most sessions, you’ll get your gallery within 2–3 weeks. Larger events can take up to 4 weeks. I’ll always give you a clear timeframe when we book.
Wedding Photography Packages
What wedding packages do you offer?
I offer a small range of packages designed to fit everything from tiny elopements to full-day celebrations. All options include pre-wedding support, venue scouting, professional editing, and a full online gallery of high-resolution images.
How many hours of coverage do we need?
Elopements and smaller weddings usually need around 3–5 hours. For a full story of the day — from prep to first dance — 8–10 hours works best. If you're unsure, we can talk it through and find the right fit.
Do you offer half-day packages?
Yes, perfect for shorter weddings, registry office celebrations, or couples who want the key moments documented without full-day coverage.
Can we add extra hours?
Of course. If things run over or you’d like more evening photos, you can add additional hours at my standard hourly rate.
What’s included in every package?
No matter the package, you’ll always receive:
A pre-wedding consultation
A venue walk-through and location scout
Sneak Peek images within two weeks
A full online gallery of edited, high-resolution images
My relaxed, natural, documentary style
A USB keepsake box with selected prints (for full-day packages)
Do you offer engagement shoots?
Yes — add one to any package. They’re a lovely way for us to get comfortable working together ahead of the big day.
Can we customise a package?
Absolutely. Multi-day weddings, destination celebrations, or anything more unique can be quoted as a bespoke package.
Photography Style & Approach
How would you describe your photography style?
Natural, candid, and grounded in storytelling. Whether I’m photographing people, places, or events, my focus is always on real moments, beautiful light, and a sense of authenticity.
Can I see examples of your work?
Yes — take a look at the Projects section of my website to explore past travel, portrait, and editorial commissions.
Are you experienced in photographing portraits?
Very. I’ve photographed everything from intimate family sessions to large-scale events and international assignments. If you have something specific in mind, just ask.
Are you comfortable shooting in low light?
Yes — from soft morning light to indoor evening events, I’m used to working in all kinds of lighting conditions. I can also advise on locations if needed.
Do you work with a second photographer?
Most shoots I do solo, but for larger events I can bring along a trusted second photographer. This is quoted on a case-by-case basis.
Are you insured?
Yes — I’m fully insured with public liability and professional indemnity cover.
What is your editing process?
I hand-select and edit every image with attention to colour, exposure, and overall feel. My style leans natural and true-to-tone. Heavy retouching is available on request.
Image Usage & Copyright
Who owns the copyright?
Like most photographers, I retain copyright to all images — but you receive full rights for personal use (and agreed-upon commercial use where applicable).
Can I share the photos on social media?
Absolutely — and I love seeing them pop up. Crediting me when possible is always appreciated.
Can I print my photos?
Yes. Your gallery includes high-resolution files perfect for printing. I can also help arrange professional prints or albums if you like.
Do you offer digital packages for commercial use?
Yes — personal use downloads are included, and commercial licensing is available for branding, editorial, and professional use.
Can I sell the photos to third parties?
Not with a standard licence. If you need broader commercial rights, get in touch and I can provide a usage agreement.
Logistics & Practicalities
Do you travel for shoots?
Yes — I regularly travel around the UK and abroad. Travel outside Somerset is charged at a standard rate, and international projects can be quoted individually.
What is your availability?
I tend to book up quickly, especially in spring and autumn. Ideally, get in touch 4–6 weeks ahead. Short-notice sessions are sometimes possible depending on my schedule.
Do you bring backup equipment?
Always. Cameras, lenses, memory cards — I come prepared so no moment is missed.
What if the weather is bad?
For outdoor shoots, we can either reschedule or move to a sheltered/indoor location. I’ll keep an eye on the forecast and touch base 24–48 hours beforehand.
Do you have a studio?
Most of my work is on location, but I can arrange studio access locally if needed.
About the Photographer
How did you get into photography?
I started out drawn to documentary work and photojournalism — fascinated by the way images hold stories. Over time, that grew into a practice spanning portraiture, travel, editorial work, and weddings.
What are your qualifications and experience?
I hold a Master’s degree in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography from the University of the Arts London, and have worked internationally for editorial clients, NGOs, and creative agencies.
What do you love photographing most?
People and place — always. I’m especially drawn to portraits and travel, where real stories and honest moments unfold naturally.
