WEDDINGS :
How many weddings do you cover in a day :
ONE I only cover one wedding per day, this is the biggest event of your life to date, so I give it the due care and planning it requires.
Booking :
Once you have paid our booking fee (£250) - the date is booked exclusively.
Payments for the wedding are made in stages prior to the wedding day.
How would you describe your style :
Personally I love to have lots of laughs with the wedding party to ensure that the day is remembered as fun, that said we still have to produce the work you desire. My style is a mix of directed and candid - I believe a mix of both will ensure you get exactly what you need.
Style and approach is unique to every photographer,tell me what you like i have the abilty to shoot - natural, traditional & mordern styles.i

Engagement sessions :
Are available Mon-Friday only and take place within a 10 mile radius off the studio ( further distances or weekends at discretion will incur a charge)
How many images will you shoot :
The answer to this is more than enough, it is more about quality than quantity as I always shoot to get the best from your day. Usually anywhere between 500-700
How long with you attend our wedding :
I am booked for your entire day - my standard coverage starts from prior to the ceremony preparations until your line up - however I am available by request to cover morning preparations, speeches, dancing and fireworks etc.
Do you Travel :
Yes, I am based in Aberdeen but travel often across Scotland, the UK and Internationally by request.
Do you have a second shooter :
Generally the answer is no as all the work you are viewing is my own, then you know exactly what you will get, so i have never seen the need for too many cameras, however if you wish a second shooter can be added for £250
What about my album :
I only use the best album manufacturer in the world. Each album is personally designed by me, utilising your choices and my expertise we will design you the perfect album. Each album is proofed for you before printing to ensure you have the optimum result. I offer a range of covers, album styles, paper styles that are second to none in terms of custom made albums. I design your album as a center-piece to be shown in your home for many years as well as a legacy of this momentous day.
Can I purchase the rights to the photographs on USB :
YES you can - although we hold copyright at all times - we can sell you a license to print as many images as you wish.
Why do we charge this - our living as photographers is made from selling images not from the fees we charge to create them.
How long will I have to wait to see my images :
7 DAYS My goal is to have each and every wedding online within 7 days after the wedding day. This is for you and your friends and family to view and make any selected purchases.
Insurance :
I am fully insured for professional indemnity and public liability. Please note most part time photographers do not carry insurance and will NOT be covered by your own wedding insurance in the event of cancellation or equipment failure.
WHY DO YOU NEED INSURANCE :
