In most cases, I don’t need to. I’ve photographed weddings at all kinds of venues - from grand estates to back gardens, and even subterranean vaults! With my experience, creativity, and preparation (I always bring more gear and lighting than I’ll ever need), I’m confident in capturing stunning images even in the trickiest of spaces.

I always arrive early on the day to scout the best spots based on the light and weather. However, if your venue is particularly unique or logistically complex, I’m happy to discuss a pre-wedding visit if needed.

It depends on your wedding! I work solo for most weddings and capture everything beautifully, but a second photographer can be a great addition for larger weddings (recommended if you’re expecting 80+ daytime guests), tight timelines, or if you want both partners’ morning preparations covered in different locations. If you’re unsure, let’s chat about what’s best for your day!

Absolutely! While my style is mostly documentary, I know how important these are. I work with you before the wedding to create a must-have list of group shots, keeping things organised but relaxed, so it doesn’t feel like a long, drawn-out process. The goal? Get them done smoothly so you can get back to celebrating!

I get it - you want beautiful portraits but don’t want to miss the party! I like to split portraits into multiple mini-sessions throughout the day (typically 2-4 short 10-15 minute sessions, depending on your preferences).

This approach works best because:

✅You get back to your guests sooner.

✅ We can take advantage of different lighting throughout the day.

✅ It allows flexibility - we can adjust for weather or if the schedule goes a little off track.

✅ Your emotions and energy change throughout the day, and we capture that natural progression.

✅ You get varied portraits - different light, locations, moods, and maybe even outfit changes!

Absolutely! I’ve worked with loads of videographers over the years, and a great photographer-videographer team should complement each other, not compete. I always make sure we’re on the same page so we can both capture your day beautifully without getting in each other’s way. If you’ve already booked a videographer, let me know - I’m happy to connect with them beforehand to make sure everything runs smoothly.

You are not alone - most couples tell me this before their wedding! My job is to make you feel comfortable and natural, not stiff and posed. I give just enough direction to guide you, but I also create space for real moments to unfold. Whether that’s making you laugh, setting up a relaxed walk, or giving you something fun to do together, my approach is always easy-going and pressure-free.

And remember - your engagement session is a perfect chance to shake off any nerves before the big day. By the time your wedding comes around, you’ll be pros at it!
