What kind of deposit do you require?

I ask you to pay a deposit of £300 this secures my services and your date and makes it unavailable to other couples.

What kind of equipment do you use?

I use professional Canon equipment, I carry two Canon 5D MkIII with a selection of L series lenses (some of the best lenses money can buy) I also bring lighting along in the event of bad weather and or we have to shoot inside in low lighting conditions

In the event of bad weather, We are happy to continue to shoot in the rain if you arebut normally we would search for a sheltered area or locate an area indoors or even wait for a break in the weather, But we would always have a plan “B”

What if something happened to you on my wedding day or you couldn’t make it?

In the very unlikely event I can not make it to your day, I will provide an alternative photographer of the same caliber.

What is an Engagement or E shoot ?

An E shoot is when we meet up on a pre designated date before your wedding where we take photographs of you and your partner, practicing what you like and don’t like, E shoots are an essential part of wedding photography.

When you say you cover the whole day, how long is that?

Its exactly what it says, I start when you do, from the bridal preparations (optional) up to 9 hours and usually till just after the first dance, depending on your chosen package.

How many pictures do I get?

There is no limit to the amount of pictures you will receive, but a typical wedding would be anything from 300 to 500+ photographs.

Can I put them on face book?

Yes of course in fact I encourage you to do so, I will even supply you with small resolution versions for that very purpose!

How long before I receive my photographs?

6 to 8 weeks possibly more depending on holiday or busy periods, but i will always strive to get them to you as fast as possible.

I am only having a small wedding, Do you offer a discount for fewer people?

I’m sorry no, I only offer full day packages from morning till evening.

Do you Photograph anywhere in the UK ?

Yes, I’m happy to travel anywhere in both the UK or the World.

Wedding Photography Dissington Hall Northumberland

Wedding photography Dissington Hall Northumberland

Stephanie & Simon chose the beautiful Dissington Hall in Northumberland for their wedding day setting. The Georgian estate is a hidden gem in Northumberland and it provided a wonderful day for family and friends to enjoy their celebrations. The Ceremony was at St Cuthberts church in Bedlington and were very accommodating with the photography that the couple so wanted.

Stephanie’s dad John, was visibly choked with tears of pride when he saw his daughter for the first time and again just before walking her down the aisle and little flower girl Chloe was often in awe of how beautiful Stephanie looked!

Best men Chris & James despite the nerves both delivered fantastic speeches….leaving Simon cringing slightly with a few storys from the past. After the first dance of the evening Stephanie & Simon and lots of their guests partook in my version of the latest selfie craze, which I am now officially calling a “Welfie”….sorry it was the best I could come up with!!

They chose a style of mostly reportage photography, wishing to document the day but also taking some time out to capture some wedding portraiture of just the two of them which resulted in some beautiful evening shots in a nearby rapeseed field to end a perfect day!!

Best wishes to you both and lots of luck for the future…
