Tell me about your day.

Most couples book nine to twelve months out. Peak-season Saturdays (May to September) and auspicious dates go first, because I only take one wedding per weekend. That said, I keep a couple of weekends free each season – a late date is always worth checking.

Yes – anywhere. Travel inside the M25 is included; the rest of the UK is charged at cost. And I spend every winter in Hyderabad, so Indian weddings are home ground rather than a destination job: no destination fee, no markup on flights, internal travel in India at cost.

A full day is typically 500–700 edited photographs; a three-day wedding is 1,200–1,800; a portrait session is 40 or more. You get a sneak peek of forty within 48 hours and the full gallery within six weeks – three for registry weddings, two for portraits. Every photograph is edited individually.

Perfect – most people are. Ninety-five per cent of the day is unposed, so you’ll mostly forget I’m there. For the ten minutes of couple portraits I give you something to do rather than something to hold: walking and talking photographs far better than smiling on command.

Always on multi-day weddings – you can’t cover a baraat and a nervous groom’s room with one camera. On single days it’s an optional £350, and worth it when your ceremony and reception are in different places.

It hasn’t happened in eleven years, but the plan exists: I’m part of a network of London documentary photographers who cover for each other, and I would edit the whole gallery myself so it still looks like my work. Your booking contract puts this in writing.

The edited photographs are the finished work – asking for RAWs is a bit like asking a baker for the dough. But if there’s a specific photo you’d like re-edited, in black and white or a different crop, I’ll happily do it. Print rights for every edited photo are included.
