Frequently Asked Questions about wedding photography

 

· What happens if it’s raining on the day of the wedding? wedding couple

I’ve seen some stunning wedding photography taken in the rain with red umbrellas – real fun! Some of my best wedding photography has been taken in light drizzle in the summer - it’s a lovely gentle light. I don't have red umbrellas but I can provide 3 matching large ivory golf umbrellas for wet weather photography - one for the bride and groom and the others for some of the bridal party, so don't worry, whatever the weather throws at us, you'll get some lovely images!

I have a superb set of camera lenses which perform very well in low light conditions inside and I love using natural window light to take portraits, so if the weather is really bad I will aim to find some big windows for some of the bride and groom shots.

· How long should we leave for photography after the ceremony?

I would recommend at least a 2 hour gap between the end of the ceremony and the line-up (if you are having one). I would like to spend at least half an hour with the bride and groom alone somewhere to take pictures during this time. I appreciate that you want to spend time with friends and relatives and am very conscious of achieving a good balance between getting good images and being a real nuisance!

· What about the group shots? wedding group

Group shots are not a photographer’s favourite! However, as much as you think that you don’t want any group shots there are always going to be some that will be necessary; it’s not often that you are all together and looking so smart! I would ask that one of your relatives or guests, who is familiar with both sides of the families, be available to call together all those needed for a group shot. This way we can get through the groups quickly and painlessly!

 

· I hate my picture being taken – how will I manage?

 

You are not alone! I will work quickly and unobtrusively, where possible, so that you won’t have time to get nervous about the photography. Just be happy, enjoy the day and, I promise you, you will look great!
