What I photograph
- 01WeddingsFrom the morning to the first dance, or just the hours you want covered, with a second photographer where the day needs one.
- 02Pre-wedding shootsAn hour beforehand, which is mostly about getting used to a camera before the day that matters.
- 03FamiliesAn hour somewhere you already go, with children allowed to be children.
- 04PortraitsFor work, for applications, or because nobody has taken a good one of you in years.
- 05Newborns and christeningsQuiet, unhurried, at your pace and around feeds.
- 06Business and productPhotographs for a website that do not look like stock, with a usage licence so your marketing people can get on with it.
- 07EventsParties, openings and the days a company wants to remember properly.
- 08EditingColour and light corrected, and retouching kept to what you would recognise as yourself.
- 09Prints and albumsMade up properly, so the pictures exist somewhere other than a phone.
- 10Restoration and copyingOld family photographs scanned and repaired.

Questions people ask
01How long until I see the pictures?
A few within days and the rest by a date agreed before the booking, in writing.
02How many pictures do I get?
Told before you book, as a number rather than a promise of plenty.
03Do I get the unedited files?
No, and no photographer worth booking hands those over: editing is half the work you are paying for. What you get is the finished pictures at full size.
04Can we print them ourselves?
Yes. You get files you can use, and permission to print them where you like.
05What if it rains?
We move indoors or use it — wet weather makes better pictures than people expect.
06What if you are ill on the day?
There is a plan and other photographers who cover for each other. You will not be left without one.
