Process

Wedding planning can feel like spinning plates, trying to work out all the curious things you need to do. You really don’t need another list of action points, but you’d probably still like to know how the photography bit works. And you’ll be reassured that most of these things below are what I’ll be working on while you focus on the other stuff …

  • Once we’ve decided we’re meant to be I’ll email the booking information and you tick off “Book Photographer”
  • We’ll have confirmed my coverage and the options you choose from me
  • The booking fee secures your date and once I have that I take no further enquiries for your day
  • I email you a contract 
  • We both sign the contract – it’s digital, none of that download/sign/scan reattach nonsense! Process
  • You’ll also get a handy questionnaire to gather of all the information I need from you – everything from how your proposal happened to details about your day. You just fill in the gaps on the form. My couples tel me my form is a really helpful extra checklist. The more info you can give the better, and you can keep sending me updates as things develop

Process

  • If you live near me, we can meet up to have a chat and get to know each other a bit more – over a cuppa or a G&T!
  • If your overseas or further away, we can chat on Skype
  • If you’ve opted for it, we’ll make arrangements for your pre-wedding shoot.
  • We’ll stay in contact right up to your wedding day. You can call or email me at any time with any questions, and I’ll keep checking in with you for info I still need
  • You send me a copy of your agreed timeline spreadsheet that you agree with your venue, or if your all diy, then you might have done one of these yourself, send it to me too, thank you
  • Have a think about what essential group photos of main family you want and let me have those as soon as you know
  • I’m here to help! I have photographed over 100 weddings so if you are thinking about something then I probably know the answer or can advise

  • Soon after you float back down to earth, you’ll receive an email with some preview photos
  • You’ll enjoy seeing some photos of your day on my social media pages, (it might be how you found me by seeing someone else’s photos!) but of course tell me if this is not for you
  • I keep in touch and when your photos are all ready I will message you. I aim to deliver weddings within a calendar month of your day

“Well what can we say, Sharon captured our special day better than we could have dreamed of. She chatted with our friends and family like we had known her for years making everyone feel at ease (not everyone loves a photo) but she caught everyone’s true self and enjoyment.
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, friend, helper on the day, lead up and honestly the most amazing pictures that we will cherish for ever.
Thank you so much “
