Questions
Frequently asked
How does booking work?
Send the inquiry form and I’ll reply within 24 hours. A signed contract and a 20% retainer hold the date; the balance is due 7 days before, paid through the Client Portal.
How many hours should we book?
Two hours covers a dinner or a shower. Four covers a party with speeches and dancing. Most hosts underestimate by an hour, so I’d rather talk through the run of the evening than guess from a headcount.
When do you arrive?
Half an hour before your guests. That early window is for the room while it is still perfect — the table set, the cake untouched, the flowers exactly as you arranged them. Nobody thinks to photograph that in the moment, and every host wants it afterwards.
Do you work in restaurants and small rooms?
Often — tight rooms are the ordinary case, not the exception, and a wider lens handles most of them. What those rooms rarely have is light: restaurants and rented spaces almost never hold the light a photograph wants, so I bring a small one of my own that reads as warm rather than as a flash, and I use it sparingly. If the venue has rules for photographers, send them over and I’ll work inside them.
Will you photograph all the guests?
Yes, and not by accident. The evening has its fixed points — the toast, the cutting, the dancing — and somewhere between them I make a deliberate pass through the room so nobody who came goes unphotographed. Group shots get organised while people are still on their feet. The frames people ask for months later are almost always the ones they are in.
When do we get the gallery?
Within two weeks, as high-resolution files with a web-sized set for sharing. Hosts usually get a handful of previews the next morning.
