FAQs

HOW DO WE SECURE THE DATE?

As part of my consultation process you have the opportunity to place a very small fully refundable deposit to secure your date in my calendar. This guarantees that I will not take a booking from another couple for your wedding date in the following two weeks.

I restrict myself to 25 weddings a year to allow me to give you the excellent customer service that I’m known for, so with bookings being taken up to two years from now, if you think we could be a good fit get in touch here.

CAN YOU RECOMMEND ANY WEST SUSSEX WEDDING VENUES?

Whether you’re looking for luxury or intimate wedding venues, West Sussex has some fantastic places to get married that I’m sure you’ll love.

Chichester Cathedral has a choice of stunning historical venues where you can celebrate your wedding reception. From the beautifully restored Georgian Guest House at 4 Canon Lane to the medieval Vicars’ Hall, there is something to suit all styles of reception, set against the extraordinary backdrop of the 900 year old Cathedral.

In spring they have a striking display of rhododendrons that has to been seen to be fully appreciated. South Lodge website >>

DO YOU COVER OTHER AREAS TOO?

In addition to West Sussex I cover the whole of the UK and abroad. See my venues guides for other locations here.

DO WE NEED TWO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS?

I often work with a second photographer which is perfect for capturing groom prep in addition to your bridal prep photography, particularly if you are both getting ready in different locations.

A second photographer is also perfect for capturing extra memories on your wedding day whilst I’m concentrating on doing my thing.

Read about the pros and cons of two photographers

Just let me know when you contact me that you’re thinking about a second photographer.

CAN WE HAVE WEDDING GROUP PHOTOS?

Yes. They’re not mandatory but when you look back on your wedding day photos in years to come I think you’ll be glad that you included wedding group photography.

These days families and close friends regularly live far apart across the country, or even abroad. How often in the future are you likely to have the opportunity to include them together in the same photos taken by a professional photographer?

If you’re worried about how long these photos will take, I have a carefully crafted order of photos that allows me to zip though the ‘formals’ in the most time-efficient way. If you’d like to know a bit more about ‘how’ just mention it to me when you get in touch!
