I photograph weddings, portraits and working studios along the north coast road — long days, few instructions, and files you can actually hand to a printer.
Every band includes the planning conversation, the scouting notes and the edit. What changes is how long I am with you and how many finished frames come back.
Weddings and ceremonies running from preparations through to the first dance.
You receive600–800 edited frames in a private gallery, web and print files, four weeks after the date.
Portraits, couples and families who want one place and natural light.
You receive40 edited frames, three fully retouched for print, contact sheet within seven days.
Studios, makers, hospitality rooms and editorial commissions with a shot list.
You receive25–60 frames inside ten working days, CMYK conversions prepared on request.
A short index rather than a full archive. Each caption notes the light and the hour, because that is usually the question that follows.
Send the date and the shape of the day. I hold it for seven days at no cost while you decide, and tell you straight away if I am already booked.
We walk the location at the hour we will shoot. I note where the light lands, where the wind comes from, and we agree the indoor plan in the same visit.
I arrive before hair and makeup finish and work quietly from there. Two posed sequences at most — group portraits and one for the two of you — then back to observing.
A contact sheet lands within a week so you have something to share. The finished gallery follows, with print-ready files alongside the web-sized set.
Yes. Tell me the date and I will keep it clear for seven days with nothing paid. If a second enquiry arrives for the same day, you hear about it before the hold lapses.
We photograph anyway. At the scouting visit we pick an indoor room and a sheltered outdoor spot, so the wet-weather plan is a decision we already made rather than one taken in a hurry on the morning.
I do, and I would rather do them properly than pretend they do not matter. Send a list of the groups you want in advance; eight or nine combinations take about twenty minutes if someone can help gather people.
Often. I will speak to them a week out so we agree sight lines, who moves first during the ceremony, and where the audio kit sits. It works best when neither of us is improvising.
Name the frames and the final size and I will prepare files for that output — TIFF for a fine-art printer, or a CMYK conversion if the work is going into a press-printed book or a catalogue.
Yes — that sits inside the half session rather than the full day. Two hours covering the ceremony and the first part of the reception, with the same edit and the same delivery standard.
A few lines are enough to start. I reply with availability, the band that fits and a written outline — not a brochure.
