FAQ
What types of photography services do you offer?
My specialities are wedding and newborn photography, which are at the heart of what I do. From time to time I also take on other work, such as professional headshots or specific requests, but my main focus is always on capturing weddings and newborn moments.
How do I book a photography session with you?
Booking a photography session is easy. Simply reach out to me through the website, email, or phone, and let me know the type of session you're interested in. I'll guide you through the process, discuss your requirements, and find a convenient date and time for your session.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 3-4 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.
What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of an outdoor shoot?
If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor photoshoot, we can discuss alternatives such as rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location.
I want to ensure the best possible outcome for your photos, and I am flexible in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.
In the case of Weddings where the date cannot be moved around, we can discuss possible options with your venue and decide on the most beneficial outcome for amazing photos.
Will we meet you before the wedding?
I always like to make sure you feel fully prepared for your big day. For my full-day wedding collections, we’ll have a pre-wedding meeting to go over your timeline, key details, and anything important to you both. For shorter or bespoke collections, this isn’t included as standard, but I’m always happy to chat through plans if you’d like a little extra support.
Do we have to have the pre-wedding meeting at the venue?
Not at all. Couples often want to meet me at their wedding venue so they can show me their favourite parts, but we can always meet at my studio instead and have a lovely chat over a coffee there if that suits you better.
Are you insured?
Absolutely. I always have Public Liability and Personal Indemnity insurance in place. Please check this with any photographer you may choose if not me (but it would be lovely if you choose me of course), any professional photographer will be happy to show insurance.
Do we need to supply you with a meal?
No, not at all. Whilst a meal would be very much appreciated, a meal is not required. There is often somewhere nearby that I can go for food during your wedding breakfast.
How many photos will I get?
For a full-day wedding, you can expect at least 650 photos — usually closer to 750–800. If you book an All Day Collection with two photographers, that number rises to 850+, and it’s often over 1,000. Shorter collections naturally include fewer photos, depending on the coverage.
I never cap the number of photos — if I capture a moment that is meaningful, you’ll receive it. I don’t hold anything back.
Do you offer "cinematic" or "colour graded" editing?
My editing style focuses on natural, vivid colours that are true to life. I spend a lot of time carefully adjusting each image to faithfully reflect the colours of your day — your flowers, dresses, and details deserve to be shown exactly as they were.
I don’t follow heavy colour grading trends because they can quickly date wedding photos. Having been in the industry for years, I’ve seen fads come and go — from soft focus in the ’90s, to the colour pops of the 2000s, to amber and brown tones more recently. My goal is to create images that will still look timeless and beautiful 10, 20, or even 50 years from now.
Do you have backup equipment in case of failures?
Yes I do. All of my equipment is modern and replaced at timely intervals.
I carry 2 matching cameras, spare lenses and spare flash heads if needed. I change memory cards at regular intervals through the day and my camera holds two memory cards.
What areas do you cover?
I regularly photograph weddings in Kent, Sussex, and Surrey, and I’ve also worked in Berkshire, Hertfordshire, and other parts of the UK. I’ve even had the pleasure of photographing weddings abroad, including Malta and a beautiful beach wedding on the Gulf Coast of Florida!
If you’re planning a wedding elsewhere, just let me know — I’m happy to discuss packages for destination weddings, though my focus is mainly on the UK. No matter the location, we can create a package that works for you and your day.
Can you recommend a videographer?
Yes, I regularly work with a Videographer that I highly recommend. We offer joint booking discounts if you book with both of us so don't forget to mention me to them and that you are keen to book both!
What happens next?
If you think I would be a good fit for your big day then let's have a chat. I'd love to find out more about you both and your plans . So contact me through the link on my contact page or CLICK HERE to arrange a chatn via phone, email or face to face.
I love my wedding dress, is there any way it can be incorporated into our album?
Absolutely! I’ve designed albums in the past where a piece of the wedding dress fabric has been included inside the album box lid, which makes it extra special. I’ve even created one album where we used fabric from the groom’s waistcoat. So yes, your dress (or other meaningful fabric from the day) can definitely be incorporated to make your album truly personal to you
Why the right photographer is so important
Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful days of your life, and choosing the right photographer isn’t just about finding someone with a good camera. It’s about finding someone you trust—someone who gets you, who understands your vision for your special day, and who knows how to capture it all without turning your wedding into a photo shoot.
As a Kent-based wedding photographer covering all of Kent, Sussex, and Surrey, I believe that photography is as much about people as it is about photos. That’s why I always make time to meet my couples before their big day. I want to hear your story, get to know your personalities, and make sure we’re a good fit. When your day arrives, I want you to feel completely at ease, knowing I’m there to support you and capture your day as it unfolds.
From the moment you book, I stay in touch—offering tips, advice, or just being there if you need a bit of guidance. I pride myself on being calming, friendly, and reassuring, as many of my couples mention in their kind reviews. In fact, one lovely bride once described me as “a lovely calming presence with an understated talent to make people feel relaxed.” That’s exactly how I aim to work. Many of my previous couples comment on how approachable I am and how their guests felt comfortable and relaxed with me.
On the day itself, I’ll be close by but never in the way—quietly capturing the real, emotive moments while gently steering things if needed to help everything run smoothly. I love to shoot naturally and candidly, but when the time is right, a little direction can turn a good photo into something truly memorable.
With over 40 five-star Google reviews and counting, I’m proud to offer not only beautiful images but also exceptional customer service. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about the photos—it’s about how you feel in them, and the experience that surrounds them.
So when you’re choosing your photographer, don’t just look for style—look for someone who will be there for you, from the moment you book to the moment you say "I do" and even beyond.
Why Your Photographer Asks You to Be Ready Earlier Than You Think
If you’ve ever heard your wedding photographer (that’s me!) gently suggest being “ready earlier than your hair or makeup artist might advise,” you might be wondering: why the rush?
I totally understand that no one wants to feel hurried on their wedding morning. You want a relaxed, joyful vibe. So do I! That’s exactly why I ask brides to plan to be ready a bit earlier than they might expect.
Here’s the thing...
After photographing many weddings across Kent, Sussex, and Surrey, I’ve seen a recurring pattern over the last couple of years: beautiful mornings, happy vibes, a lot of “don’t worry, we’ve got loads of time”… and then suddenly, we’re out of time.
- Hair and makeup run late (it happens! and it's no one's fault).
- Bridesmaids still aren’t in their dresses.
- Someone can’t find their earrings or bouquet.
- The zip on the dress won’t budge.
- Then the registrars arrive and take 20 minutes for the pre-ceremony meeting
And just like that, those dreamy, relaxed “getting ready” photos? Gone.
The gorgeous shots with your bridesmaids all glammed up? Missed.
The emotional “first look” or dress reveal with your dad? Rushed, or worse—skipped.
Everyone wants you ready—but for different reasons
Your makeup artist wants you ready in time for the ceremony, and rightly so—she wants the time and space to work her amazing magic.
Your wedding coordinator wants you ready in time for the ceremony too—because no one wants to keep the guests (or your partner!) waiting.
And your photographer (hello again!)? I want you to be ready early enough that you can still have fun, soak in the moment, and get those beautifully candid, heartfelt photos—without feeling flustered or rushed.
I want you to be your calm, glowing, totally-you self so you can truly enjoy the experience of your wedding morning, not just survive it.
The magic is in the margin
That’s why I always ask brides to aim to be in their dress one full hour before the ceremony, if you're getting ready at the same location as your ceremony. This isn’t about pressure—it’s about creating space. Because real life happens—and if nothing goes wrong, we just get more time for beautiful, relaxed photos. Win-win!
In reality, that “one hour early” goal usually becomes about 30 minutes early, and then once we factor in the registrar's 15–20 minute chat, we’re often left with just 10–15 minutes. And believe me—that short window can either be a flurry of stress, or a calm moment to breathe, laugh, and enjoy some truly special photos.
What you get with this extra time:
- Natural, candid moments with your bridal party.
- Stunning shots of you stepping into your dress.
Time for those classic and emotional pre-ceremony portraits.
- A chance to pause, breathe, and soak in the excitement—without a mad dash to the aisle.
So when I gently nudge you to get ready a bit sooner, it’s not because I’m being bossy. It’s because I want to give you a special gift ---- time. Time to be present, to enjoy the moment, and to start your wedding day not in a rush—but with joy, calmness, and with confidence.
