Questions and answers
- How do I secure my date with you?
- Your date is secure once a deposit has been paid and contracts have been signed. Dates cannot be held without both steps and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
- How would you describe your photography style?
- Edward takes a natural, documentary approach and focuses on real moments and emotions. About 99% of photos are unposed. Even during portraits, guidance covers lighting and position only — how you stand or hold each other is left to feel natural.
- Should I add a second photographer?
- Yes. A second photographer captures multiple angles, including from the back of the aisle during the ceremony, and typically adds 150–200 more images to your final gallery.
- What is your backup process?
- Edward uses two camera bodies with dual memory card slots, so every photo is immediately backed up on two cards. Mid-day card changes create a third backup, and all images are copied to a separate hard drive and to the cloud within hours of the wedding.
- How long will it take to receive my gallery?
- Full photo galleries are delivered within 4–6 weeks of the wedding date. Films take 6–8 weeks.
- Do you travel to shoot destination weddings?
- Yes. Edward regularly photographs destination weddings and welcomes enquiries from couples anywhere.
- Do you offer albums, prints, or other products?
- Yes. Albums, prints, frames, canvases, and memory boxes are all available. Pricing is provided on request.
- Are you insured?
- Yes. Edward holds public liability and professional indemnity insurance, as well as equipment insurance.
- What happens if you are ill on my wedding day?
- If a second photographer is booked, they take on the primary role. Edward also has a network of photographers across the country and will seek a replacement to ensure your day is documented.
