A. I specialise in creative, reportage photography. I aim to
capture the true feeling of the day with lots of candid shots of guests enjoying
themselves along with some set up shots of the bride and groom. I feel a good
mixture of shots creates the best flow for a wedding album. I also do any family
shots you would require although this is sometimes best kept to a minimum to
allow time for good spur of the moment shots.
Q. Do we get to choose what pictures go in the album?
A. With the reportage album you receive
a wedding box full of proofs from which you choose pictures for your
album. With the story book album you receive a book
of proofs from which you decide on a small selection of images you definitely
want in the album. I then design the album and cover for you.
Q. How long before we get the proofs and album?
A. The proofs are available in two- three weeks for
you to view. The images of your wedding will then be put on the website
for family and friends to view and purchase re-prints. The story
book album is available from three weeks once you have decided
which small selection of images you want. The reportage album is
available in four weeks once you have made your choice on images and
lay out for the album.
Q. Can our friend and family view image online?
A. Yes, as wedding guests come from all over the country
and overseas, online viewing of images is ideal. Each wedding is placed
online for 6 weeks during which you can purchase prints. Thereafter family
and friends can still order prints through me.
Q. What happens if you are ill?
A. I haven¹t missed a wedding yet. I do have lots
of contacts with other photographers who shoot weddings and would do
my utmost to get the wedding covered by a colleague if time allowed.
Q. What equipment do you use?
A. I use two Canon digital SLR cameras with two back
ups with a range of lenses. I also take with me a set of studio lights
in case the great British weather plays up and we have to shoot indoors.
Q. Do you charge mileage?
A. I cover weddings up to 50 miles from Glasgow, thereafter
the cost is 44p per mile.
Q. Do you have insurance?
A. Yes, I have both public liability and professional
indemnity insurance.
Q. How do we go about seeing further samples of your
work?
A. Simply give me a call and we can arrange a mutual
time to come to my house where I work and we can discuss details of your
day.
Q. How do we make a booking?
A. When you want to make a booking I will send you out
a booking form for you to complete and return to me with a deposit of
£200.00. At the booking stage I simply need your contact details
and ceremony and reception locations if available.
Q. When is the balance due?
A. The balance is due one week prior to the wedding.
At this point I also ask you for the itinerary of the day and any family
shots you require.After I have received this information I will phone
you and go over the finer points of the day to ensure we have time for
all the things you want photographed.
