Answers to the most popular questions from couples planning their wedding day

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve likely started the deep dive into your wedding planning, in particular this whole photography business. It’s a unique situation when a couple sit down and have a blank slate in how this all works. Working as a wedding photographer Devon for eleven years now I’ve spoken with lots of couples and these are some of the most common and may help plan your wedding day.

How long will it take to receive our photos?

I know how exciting it is to relive your day, so I send a collection of previews within 48 hours. Your full gallery is usually ready within 4-6 weeks, beautifully edited & delivered in a private online gallery you can share with family and friends. From there you can share, download & print as much as you like. Click here to see how I deliver wedding galleries. This comes with its own print store attached so couples can get prints and albums sent directly from gallery to home within a few clicks.

Do you offer wedding albums & prints?

Absolutely! But with a difference. You may have noticed at this stage I don’t like over complicating things & I detest upselling. You can create & design your own album direct from your gallery. This gets printed in the best UK lab & delivered directly to you. No middle man. No delays. No huge markups. Just a beautiful album when you’re ready to see it.

Do you travel outside of Devon?

Absolutely! You’ll find info here about services I offer for Exeter, Salcombe and North Devon. However, half my season I spend across the Tamar as a Cornwall wedding photographer, & I travel all around the UK for weddings. It’s a big reason why I do this job. Travel within the Southwest is included within the listed price.

What is your photography style?

I specialise in natural, documentary Devon wedding photography. That means I capture your wedding day as it really happens, with a collection of beautiful portraits sprinkled in. In regards to editing, all my wedding photos are individually edited by me in a timeless style that supersedes all the image trends that come & go. I individually edit every image to ensure consistency. You can read about my full editing process here.

Do you have back up equipment & insurance?

Yes. I always have two Sony a9 professional camera bodies & two prime lenses on me. I then keep back up bodies, lenses & accessories to hand. I also work with two SD cards within the camera, so there’s an immediate photo back up in place. I am insured & if your venue requires a certificate I can provide that. You can read more details about my photo back up system here.

Have you been to the venue before?

Every year I visit a wedding venue for the first time & return to some old favourites. To me, being moment focused, it makes zero difference if I’ve seen a venue in person before. I always arrive ahead of the agreed time to scout the surroundings & lighting options. The excitement of a new location is matched by the familiarity of multiple visits.

How much do charge for wedding photography in Devon?

All information can be found on my pricing page. There’s no secret pricing brochure hidden behind a contact form, everything is available for you here to make an informed decision. I offer unlimited coverage with travel within the southwest included. You’ll receive a full resolution private online gallery with zero hidden fees.

Are you a recommend supplier?

I’m pleased to say I’m a recommended wedding photographer Devon at multiple venues. Upton Barn, Pynes House & Deer Park to name a few, & I’ve worked closely with lots of coordinators in the region as well. If you’re looking for recommendations I have a collection of my favourite Devon wedding suppliers here.

If you would like some further information I have a detailed post about my approach to weddings here and I’ve written a wedding photography guide for couples to get the best out of their photographs too. I have a collection of behind the scenes posts that dive into all the work behind every photos I take. No wedding is the same and that’s why I love this job. It’s also why I never use a template to photograph the day. If you have any questions about your wedding day, please do get in touch.
