FAQ

Q. "How much do you charge?"
A. My coverage ranges from four hour civil ceremony coverage to multi-day events. I always aim to include everything you may need in your package, including travel throughout the UK, edited and retouched digital images, an online proofing gallery and high resolution images. For detailed pricing information and to confirm your wedding date is available, please pop me an email.
Q. "How soon do we need to book you?"
A. As soon as you have a date fixed, it is advisable to enquire about availability and move towards securing your photography. Weekends, particularly in the Summer months, fill up very quickly – up to a year or two in advance.
Q. "Can we meet you before we make a decision?"
A. Ben will usually meet all potential clients either in person or via Skype – this is a great opportunity to get to know each other and you can ask any questions you may have! We appreciate that, as a photographer, you will be a presence throughout the course of the day, and therefore couples need to be happy in advance that they get along well with you.
Q. "What do we need to do to secure our date?"
A. To secure your date Ben requires a £200 booking deposit and exchange of contracts.
Q. "What happens if you are ill? Or need to isolate?"
A. Good question and very current! Ben has a wealth of contacts and should the worse happen, Ben will find another photographer to photograph your wedding at no extra cost to yourselves.
Q. "How far will you travel?"
A. Ben travels all over the UK & Europe for weddings (over the years he's also photographed ceremonies in India and USA!) but if you’re planning to get married further afield do not hesitate to get in touch – Ben absolutely loves to travel!
Q. "Do you take formal group photos?"
A. Whilst the majority of Ben's work is reportage, if you’d like a few formal group photos, Ben's more than happy to take these for you! We always advise our couples to keep these to no more than 8-10 different groups of immediate family & bridal party – that way we should be able to get the groups done in 15 minutes and you can get back to your guests to chat, eat canapés and reception drinks!
Q. "How long does it take for you to process our images?"
A. This varies depending on our workload, but you will usually receive the photographs within 2-3 weeks - just when you get back from your honeymoon.
Q. "Do we get the copyright to our pictures?"
A. Speaking in technical terms, if a professional photographer takes the images of your day, the intellectual property and copyright automatically belong to (and usually remain with) them. However, with the USB of high resolution digital files we provide you with, you are given permission for unlimited printing and sharing of the images, provided they are not used for any commercial/professional purpose.
Q. "Do you work with a second photographer?"
A. Ben usually works alone to remain unobtrusive and I can often cover both bride and groom preparations myself. However can offer an experienced second photographer if required for additional coverage throughout the day.
