FAQ’s
-
I’m based in Portadown, Co.Armagh & I travel all over Northern Ireland and Ireland to capture weddings.
-
My approach is thoughtful and unobtrusive, rooted in honest storytelling. I love capturing big moments as well as little details you might not even see on the day. I look for the quiet moments, the atmosphere of the day, the emotion that isn’t staged. Rather than directing the day, I allow it to unfold naturally.
-
There’s no fixed number of images delivered, as every wedding is different and the final gallery reflects how your day naturally unfolds. As a guide, galleries usually range from around 650 images for smaller weddings and up to to 1300 for larger celebrations. The focus is always on delivering a complete, considered story.
-
A wedding album and a selection of prints are included within the Heirloom Collection at a discounted rate, but you’re equally welcome to add an album or prints after your wedding day. There’s no pressure to decide in advance, once you’ve had time to sit with your images, I can guide you through creating your perfect album.
-
For full-day coverage, I’m with you from the morning preparations; typically around two hours before you leave...right through to the evening, staying until 30 mins or so after your first dance to capture the atmosphere as the celebrations begin.
For shorter coverage, I’ll document the day from morning preparations through to speeches (if they take place before dinner), ensuring the key moments are captured with the same care and attention.
-
You’ll get a batch of previews within 24-48 hours of your wedding and then your full album will be ready for you 8-10 weeks from your wedding date. I always try to get it back to you as soon as possible!
-
When I shoot weddings in Northern Ireland, all travel is covered in your quote. If I’m shooting a wedding in the south of Ireland there may be a small travel fee to cover the cost of fuel.
-
Absolutely. Building a connection before your wedding day is an important part of the process. If you’s like, we can arrange a call or meet in person, depending on what suits you best, and then reconnect closer to your date to refine your timeline and go over any final details.
In the lead-up, I’ll stay in touch with helpful guidance and advice to support you along the way. And if you ever need anything, whether it’s a quick question or a bit of reassurance, I’m always just a message away.
-
To secure your date, a £250 booking fee is required. This confirms your place in my calendar and covers all admin, planning and preparation ahead of your wedding. Once your date is reserved, it’s held exclusively for you, and I’ll no longer accept other bookings for that day.
-
If you’re both getting ready in the same location and timings allow, I’m always happy to capture elements of both bridal and groom preparations. When preparations take place in separate locations, I would recommend adding a second photographer to ensure both parts of the morning are documented fully.
As the timeline often overlaps, particularly as you’re getting dressed and preparing for a first look...it’s not possible to be in two places without missing key moments. Having a second photographer allows everything to be captured seamlessly, so no part of your day is overlooked. Just let me know if you’d like a 2nd photographer added .
-
That’s absolutely fine. The main thing is to keep me informed as you consider new dates, so I can check availability and ensure I’m free to document your day. As some dates may already be booked, we’ll work together to find an option that suits us both. If anything changes, just let me know and I’ll always do my best to accommodate where possible.
