Let's talk about your wedding.
A few questions, a few details, and I'll come back to you within a couple of hours. I read every enquiry myself. No assistants, no bots, no copy-and-paste replies.
Tell me the venue and the date first. Everything else we can work out from there.
The more you can tell me the better: 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. If you'd rather skip the form, an email works just as well.
What happens next
No mystery. Here is exactly what the next week or two looks like once your enquiry lands in my inbox.
A reply, within a couple of hours
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 answer rather than a templated one.
A proper conversation
If the date is 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 simple contract
A clear outline of what I photograph, the timeline for the day, and when your gallery lands: within 24 hours for smaller weddings, within a week for longer days. Then the only thing left is to wait for the day itself.
Even if you're not ready to book
I photograph a limited number of weddings each year, so dates tend to go early.
If you're even loosely considering me, drop me a line anyway. It costs you nothing, and being on my radar early sometimes makes all the difference when two couples ask about 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 myself, and I'll reply honestly.
