Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you based and do you travel?
I’m a Cardiff and South Wales Wedding Photographer but will travel all over the UK, but if you’re planning to get married further afield do not hesitate to get in touch – I absolutely love to travel!
How would you describe your style?
I would describe myself as a documentary style wedding photographer, I aim to observe your wedding day as it unfolds, naturally and unobtrusively. I work very close to the action and try to blend in with the guests as much as possible.
How long will it take to get our Wedding Photographs?
I work hard to make sure that your wedding photographs are ready as soon as possible without compromising on quality, Each photograph will be edited by myself and I aim to have your wedding photographs completed and ready within 3 weeks from your wedding date but more often than not it is much less.
What equipment do you use? Do you a have backups?
I use two professional Canon cameras with a set of high quality lenses. I always have a backup camera, lenses, flash guns, batteries and memory cards on hand if anything goes wrong.
How many photographs do we get?
Typically, at a wedding I will shoot nearly 2000 photographs. I then spend time editing the best images, I don’t limit how many photos that I give you but you can expect anywhere from 300 – 500 photos depending on the length of the day.
Can friends and Family view/buy photographs?
All of your edited images will be uploaded to a private password protected online gallery, you can share this with family and friends who can view/ buy photographs via the online shop.
I hate posing for photographs and do you take lots of formal family photographs?
Through my shooting style and natural posing, I make sure that you look natural in your photographs, I promise, I make it painless and fun, and it won't be nearly as bad as you think! I appreciate that most weddings have a need for a selection of family and group shots, and we can certainly set aside some time for this.
Are you insured?
Absolutely, as a full-time professional I am fully insured for both public and professional indemnity.
How do we book you?
Firstly, I always like to meet my clients for a ‘no obligation’ chat to discuss their requirements and learn about their day. This can either be a meeting in person or a phone call. This is a good way for me to get to know you and you to know me as well. In order to secure your wedding date, you will need to sign a wedding contract form, and pay a £200 booking fee.
Canada Lodge and Lake Wedding
Melissa and Joseph’s Wedding at Canada Lodge and Lake
Melissa and Joseph | Canada Lodge and Lake
20th September 2018
As a South Wales Wedding Photographer I’m very lucky to have a number of fantastic wedding venues close by, Canada Lodge and Lake which is situated just outside Cardiff in the village of Creigiau is one of these.
Melissa and Joseph had booked me for their wedding back in February and I was looking forward to shooting at such a beautiful venue.
After such a long hot summer the weather forecast for the day was not looking very favourable and we did get a lot of rain on the day but this did not dampen the guest’s enjoyment of a fantastic wedding day! Even though the rain did prevent us getting some of the photograph’s we wanted, it did present an oppurtunity to get some unique photograph’s of the newlywed’s smoking a cigar under an umbrella, these photographs are some of my personal favourite’s.
Hope you enjoy the photographs of a wonderful wedding!
