Hayley & Ryan
"Amy was a fantastic choice to photograph our wedding. From start to finish, through planning, the big day and after the wedding, Amy has been so kind and helpful and has done an incredible job of making sure our photos were fantastic!"
I am based in Rugby. I regularly photograph venues in Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire Birmingham and West Midlands. However, I am happy to travel around the UK. A small travel fee will apply if the location is more than 70 miles from my home in Rugby. If the venue is more than a 2-hour drive from my home in Rugby, I may also require a night's accommodation. contact me to find out what travel costs may apply.
This will really depend on the timings for your day. With a full-day coverage package, I arrive about two hours before the ceremony to capture the preparations and stay right through to the first dance and a little bit of the evening party to get some photographic evidence of those epic funky dance moves!
I do not limit the number of photographs I take during your day; I take as many as possible to capture every detail. I then edit through the photos and pick out the best ones to include in your final gallery.
After the day I will go through the photos and pick the best ones that I know you’ll love and edit them. By edit I mean basic colour correction, cropping and tweaking the exposure. 'You can Photoshop that out, right? Can you get rid of my wrinkles etc.?' No, because I believe people look great as they are and so I don’t do any airbrushing or ‘photoshopping’ so to speak.
​
I will show you some ‘sneak peeks' a few days after the wedding to keep you going until the final gallery is ready. I professionally process and edit the photographs and your images will be ready for viewing within 8 weeks of your wedding day. Images will be placed onto an online gallery for you to view first and I will then send your USB stick to you.
Yes, I am fully insured for both professional indemnity and public liability. I also have backup cameras and lenses that I bring with me on the wedding day, plus lots of memory cards and spare batteries and I take extra care to back up your wedding photographs. I am also a registered member of the Guild of Photographers.
Should I be ill and unable to attend your wedding day, I will do everything in my power to organise cover. I‘m part of a network of amazing local wedding photographers that I would reach out to should it be necessary.
Yes, I do. I love doing these shoots and there are lots of benefits of doing one - read more about them here.
Yes, I have the option of adding a second photographer to my packages. A second photographer works with me on the wedding day capturing even more moments of your day. This is perfect if you would like both of your morning preparations photographed and different angles of the day.
Yes, I do! I have a page with more information about them here.
Absolutely! I’m proud to be an LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographer. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive space where you can feel comfortable, celebrated, and free to be your true selves.
Yes, I do have a half-day package available and also offer the option of shorter bespoke coverage. Get in touch letting me know your plans and the amount of hours coverage required and I'll happily create a bespoke package for you.
It is never too early to get in touch! I can only cover one wedding per day and take on a limited number of weddings each year, so it's best to book and secure your date early to avoid disappointment. Popular dates go fast, so it really is never too early to book!
If you're getting married soon, don't panic that you've left it too late to book - I do sometimes have late availability, so it’s always worth reaching out!
Yes, of course, and I highly recommend it! I offer all couples that enquire a free video call consultation via Zoom (or phone call if you prefer). We can use this as a chance to meet each other, chat about all of your wedding plans and discuss your requirements. Plus I will show you some sample albums and talk you through my packages. It is so important that you get on with your wedding photographer! I want you to feel like an old friend has turned up on your wedding day, not just a stranger with a camera.
If you would like to book me for your day and have checked my availability. I will first send you my online booking form and then an online contract to sign. I request a £250 booking fee (the remaining balance is then due 14 days before the wedding). Once the contract is signed and the booking fee is paid the date is yours!
