Common Questions About Wedding and Elopement Photography

Every wedding is different, and it’s natural to have questions about how the day will be photographed, what’s included and what to expect before, during and after.

Below are some of the questions I’m asked most often.

Working style

  • Yes. I offer both colour and black and white images as standard, but I can also provide options. As one example, customers can choose a black and white package and add specific images in colour.

    Black and white suits my documentary style, but colour images can add to the story or atmosphere of the moment too. It comes down to your preference and what you think of my style.

  • Very rarely - but I’m happy to discuss this with you to find out what you want.

    My approach is observational and quiet. I’ll guide you briefly for portraits when needed, but the rest of the day unfolds naturally without direction.

  • There is no cap at all on the number of images; you receive everything that contributes meaningfully to the story of your day.

    That said, I generally don’t promise a minimum or maximum number because the final output can differ from occasion to occasion.

    I place far more importance on the quality of the images than on volume. This means being active all day and looking for unique opportunities that work. Most couples don’t want, say, 10 images that look almost the same, so sometimes less really is more.

Before the Day

  • Yes, of course. If you would like to meet in person, please let me know. If not in person, then a short video call is usually the best way to discuss your plans.

    Please use the Contact Us page to send a message - or call us today on 0141 255 0665.

  • If practical, yes. If not, I’ll research locations and plan lighting and timing around the specifics of your day. I’ll listen to any specifics you are looking to achieve or perhaps you’ll want to visit it with me in person.

On the Day

  • Don’t worry, the weather is just part of the story. I work with whatever conditions we have - snow, wind or sun. Some of the strongest images can come from unpredictable light.

  • A second photographer is available as an optional add-on. It’s helpful for larger weddings or when simultaneous coverage is needed - such as morning preparations in different locations.

    I can also offer videography / drone photography.

  • It is up to you. Packages vary, but I’m flexible, so I can stay for as long as you wish.

    Sometimes, the most memorable images come from the late-night celebrations, and you don’t want to miss those!

After the Day

  • In part this depends on our current workload but typically quote 10 -12 weeks.

    Please let me know how quickly you want these. We may be able to offer a express delivery service, if you just can’t wait!

  • You’ll receive a private online gallery for viewing, downloading and sharing.

    All images, both colour and black and white, are provided in two file formats, high resolution for self-printing and low resolution for digital / social media.

  • Yes. I offer a range of fine-art albums, framed prints and loose archival prints. These can be added after you’ve seen your final gallery.

Travel & Logistics

  • Yes, I work across Scotland, the UK and abroad.

    For each enquiry, you’ll usually fine-tune the details, and then I’ll confirm everything clearly before booking.

  • Yes. I have full public liability and professional indemnity insurance, and I can provide certificates if your venue requires them.

  • This has never happened, but I have a network of experienced photographers who can step in at short notice. Your agreement includes full details about what happens in this situation.

Booking & Payment

  • Not immediately. Usually, a couple will want to chat with me first and then between themselves in private to make sure they are happy before going ahead.

    At that point, I will pencil in their date into my diary for up to seven days, which is usually plenty of time to make a decision.

    A booking fee is required to secure your date, with the remaining balance due one month (30 days) before the wedding.

  • Yes. If your date changes, within the same calendar year, your booking moves with you.

    If I’m not available on your revised date, I’ll endeavour to find a suitable alternative photographer from my network.
