1. "Can you share examples of your previous wedding photography work, so we can get a sense of your style and quality?"
My Answer - Yes, there are 1000's of images from previous weddings on my Facebook page and 100's on my Website for everyone to see.
2. "HoW MUCH EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE?"
My Answer - I have photographed weddings for over 10-years now. This gives me a mountain of experience of different wedding types and also the ability to think on my feet to those little changes to your day that happen in an instant. It has also taught me the professional and correct way to deal with people.
3. "What packages do you offer, and what is included in each? Are there any additional costs we should be aware of?"
My Answer - I have a suggested Package Listing to help you initially decide and it can as flexible as you wish. Everything is included in The Ultimate Package and it's a lot! Everything that is listed on my price list is included with your package. There is nothing else to pay for.... unless you're more than 2 hours from Darlington, want extra hours added to packages or if you wish to purchase prints from the website.
4. "How do you handle unexpected situations or challenges during a wedding day, such as changes in weather or unexpected delays?"
My Answer - I plan as far in advance as I can for your big day and sometimes things just happen that I have no control of. In this case, I think on my feet, I adapt, I change my thinking to the new situation. This comes with many years of experience of being a Full Time Wedding Photographer.
5. "What is your approach to capturing candid moments versus posed shots? How do you strike a balance between the two?"
My Answer - I just love to capture those little moments that just happen. I always work with two cameras. One has my Paparazzi Lens on it and so it has a great reach to capture natural, opportunistic and funny moments. It's always switched on and I'm always looking. A good proportion of your photographs will be of a candid / natural style.
6. "What backup do you have?"
My Answer - As a professional photographer I have backup equipment, cameras, lenses, batteries, flashes and just about everything else! I also have a network of colleagues who can step in if I cannot make it due to say a medical emergency. All this is needed to ensure your day is captured seamlessly.
7. "Can you provide a detailed timeline of how you typically work on the wedding day, from preparation to the end of the reception?"
My Answer - It's so much easier for you to look at my Package Listings for the full details. I always have a chat/Facetime/Zoom call with you prior to the wedding to get final details of your day. I would always make contact with the relevant person at a venue before the ceremony, whether it's the wedding planner, the priest, vicar or other... just to make sure of the timeline and any parameters that I need to know about.
9. "Do you have Public liability insurance?"
My Answer - Yes, I have £5m Liability Insurance and Indemnity Insurance. Happy to provide a certificate if your venue requires to see it.
8. "When do I get my photos and how do i GET THEM?"
My Answer - If you have booked The Ultimate Package, you will see a First Look Album on Wedding day. This is around 30 of your photos from the day shown to you on a Laptop and then displayed on an HD monitor during the early part of the evening for all your guests to see. You will first see all your photos on my website in your password protected album. Depending on the package booked, you will either get a beautiful memory stick or they'll be sent to you via We Transfer. I normally try to get all the images to you within 2-3 weeks after your wedding. May be slightly longer in peak season, July - Oct.
10. "How do I pay?"
My Answer - The £100 deposit secures the day for you with the final balance payable 1-2 weeks prior to the wedding.
