Everything you might want to ask.
Are you available on our wedding date?
Send your date via the contact form. I’ll confirm availability the same day and hold it for you while we chat packages and timeline.
What is your style — documentary, cinematic, or editorial?
Documentary-led storytelling with cinematic polish. Real moments, natural light, clean audio and elegant colour — perfect for rustic venues like The Oaksmere or grand spaces such as Bury St Edmunds Cathedral.
Can we see full wedding galleries and films, not just highlights?
Absolutely — I’ll share complete weddings from Kimberley Hall, The Old Rectory and Hockwold Hall so you can see consistency in all light conditions.
Do you offer combined photo and video packages in Norfolk?
Yes — seamless coverage by one creative keeps the look cohesive and your day relaxed, from prep right through to your evening party. See the photo + video packages for current options.
Do you travel to Norwich, Thetford, Diss and Suffolk?
Yes — I cover all of Norfolk and neighbouring Suffolk and Cambridgeshire regularly. Travel is simple; any extras are confirmed up-front with no surprises.
How long does it take to receive the final photos and film?
You’ll usually receive a sneak peek within a few days. Final photos typically deliver in 4-8 weeks; films in 6-12 weeks depending on season and edit complexity.
Do you bring a second shooter or assistant?
When helpful, yes — extra coverage for morning prep or alternate ceremony angles, especially useful in large venues like Kimberley Hall.
What equipment do you use, and do you have backups?
Professional 6K mirrorless cameras recording to dual cards, fast lenses, discreet audio, stabilisers and lighting for evening. Always with full backups.
How do you handle low-light ceremonies and dark barns?
Fast lenses, clean ISOs, gentle light shaping and colour profiles that keep the ambience natural. Ideal for atmospheric venues like Hockwold Hall or The Old Rectory.
How many photos do we receive and how long is the video?
Every wedding is unique; expect a curated gallery (hundreds of images) plus a highlight film and long-form edits if booked.
What are the usage rights for social media and printing?
Personal use is included — share online, make prints and albums, and send to family. I include supplier-credit guidance and upload tips.
Are you insured and do you have public liability cover?
Yes — fully insured with public liability and professional cover. Certificates available if your venue (e.g. Norwich Castle) requires them.
What happens if you are ill on the day?
I work with a trusted Norfolk and Suffolk network. In an emergency, a like-for-like professional covers while I handle editing for consistent style.
Can you stay later if the timeline overruns?
Of course — coverage can extend for dance-floor magic and sparklers at places like The Oaksmere. Extra time is always agreed clearly.
Are there extra costs for travel, accommodation or parking?
Everything’s transparent and agreed up-front. If accommodation is needed near Bury St Edmunds Cathedral or Norwich Castle, I’ll confirm early.
Do you provide drone footage and 360-degree options?
Yes — I’m UK CAA licensed and insured for aerials. Drone and 360-degree views look incredible at estates like Kimberley Hall and the gardens of The Old Rectory.
