Once you have looked at the sample wedding portfolio photos and the wedding package options the next thing to do is check availability for your date.
This can be done via the contact page, please remember to specify which year as it is possible for popular dates to be be booked more than a year in advance.
If the date is available then the next step is have a meeting. An important aspect of selecting your wedding photographer is finding someone you will feel comfortable with and so a face to face meeting is a chance to see if there is some mutual rapport. At this meeting further details can be explored so that a quote for a tailoured package can then be provided. You will already understand the pressure of needing to take the time to find a photographer you like while also needing to make a prompt booking so that someone else doesn't get in first. We don't add to this pressure, there is no heavy sell routine, the meeting and quote is free to local couples and your are under no obligation.
Once happy with the quote then payment of a deposit/booking fee and completion of a simple contract finishes the booking process and secures your date.
Mobile studio equipment allows for studio style lighting and background arrangements to be setup in your own home. Portrait shoots can also be at select outdoor locations.
