Are you insured for Professional Indemnity and Public Liability?
Yes we have both Indemnity and Liability insurance so you are fully protected.
How many pictures do you take on average?
This varies massively between weddings. If we are there all day then it can be several hundred, if we are there for an hour it might be 100. We take several photos of each pose just in case somebody blinks.
How long do you stay at the wedding?
Again this depends on which package you book – see our Packages page for more details.
Are your prices fully inclusive of everything we agree?
Yes – we don’t have any hidden extras.
Will it be you on the day or one of your employees?
The main photographer will be Ashley. There may be a second photographer there assisting however this is not guaranteed.
How long afterwards is it before I see my pictures?
You will usually have your pictures no later than 2 weeks after your wedding date, although usually sooner.
How do relatives and guests order prints and how much are your reprints?
We set up a web-based ordering system and can also send out a DVD slide show with filenames on it to choose from. You can access our web-prints system here
How long do you keep the digital files?
Permanently – they are also backed up to DVD and kept in a secure location in case of fire or damage.
Can we have colour shots in black and white?
We shoot in colour but any shot can be toned to B&W, sepia and a variety of other effects with no difficulty.
What would be your standard group photography?
We go through a list of around 8 group formals capturing the parents, bridesmaids, best man and immediate family. We will also take some fun photos of the bride and bridesmaid, and best man and groom, as well as some pictures of just the bridge and groom. This gets the photos sorted as quickly as possible with minimum fuss!
Do we have to have group pictures?
Absolutely not, but we would recommend it even if its just for your parents! But if you are dead set against it then no problem!
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
We will take some large umbrellas should you wish to brave outdoors! Otherwise we will take photos indoors using flash.
What about winter weddings?
No Problem – we are happy to book winter weddings.
Do we have to meet you to book you?
No, we are happy to book via post however we would recommend a meeting – it gives you a chance to meet us before your big day and discuss exactly what will be happening.
When do we pay you?
We take a deposit at the time of booking to reserve the date. The final balance is payable 14 days before the date of the wedding.
Can I view some of your previous wedding photography work?
Certainly – check the gallery or alternatively arrange a time to come round and view things in more detail using the Contact Us link
What other wedding photography products do you offer?
You name it, we can do it – albums, canvas wraps, key rings, glacier blocks – the lot!
Do you travel?
Yes – we cover the Teesside region mostly however we will cover anywhere within a 20 mile radius. Anywhere beyond that and there will be a surcharge of £20 travel and £55 for hotel accommodation, but happy to cover anywhere in the UK.
What do you wear to weddings?
We dress smart to blend in as much as possible.
What kind of cameras do you use?
We use Canon professional equipment – if you want to know more just ask!
