Let's talk about your wedding.
A few questions, a few details, and I'll come back to you within a day or two. I read every enquiry myself — no assistants, no bots, no copy-and-paste replies.
Tell me about your day
The more you can tell me the better — venue, date, the rough feel you're going for, whether you've had your eye on me for a while or landed here five minutes ago. It all helps. Rather skip the form and send me an email? info@barriedownie.com works just as well.
What happens next
No mystery. Here's exactly what the next week or two looks like once your enquiry lands in my inbox.
I'll come back to you personally, usually with a couple of follow-up questions about the day so I can give you a proper, accurate response rather than a templated one.
If the date's free and we sound like a fit, we'll jump on a call or meet up — I want to know who you are before I promise to show up for the most important day of your life.
A clear outline of what I photograph, the timeline for the day, and the one-week gallery promise. Then the only thing left is to wait for the day itself.
Even if you're not ready to book
I only photograph a limited number of weddings each year — a handful in London, a handful in Sussex, a few further afield — so dates tend to go early. If you're even loosely considering me, drop a line anyway. It costs you nothing, and being on my radar early sometimes makes all the difference when two couples enquire for the same weekend.
And if you've already read the About page, the homepage, and half the portfolio — thank you. That tells me more about the kind of couple you are than any enquiry form could.
Either way, I'll read your message personally, and I'll reply honestly.
