Can we meet with you before booking?

Absolutely! I believe it’s essential for us to get to know each other before your big day. Whether it’s in person, over the phone, or via video call, I’m happy to schedule a consultation to discuss your vision, answer any questions, and ensure we’re the perfect fit.

Do you offer engagement sessions?

Are you familiar with our wedding venue?

I have experience working in various venues across Ireland and am always excited to explore new locations. If I haven’t photographed a wedding at your venue before, I’ll do thorough research and possibly even visit the location beforehand to ensure I’m well-prepared.

Can we provide a list of specific shots we want?

Absolutely! While I focus on capturing candid moments and the natural flow of your day, I’m more than happy to accommodate any specific shot requests you may have. Prior to your wedding, we’ll discuss your must-have shots to ensure they’re included in our coverage plan.

Will you be the one photographing our wedding, or do you send another photographer?

I am the primary photographer at every wedding I book. This ensures consistency in style and quality throughout your entire wedding day experience. If a second shooter is required, I will coordinate with trusted professionals to ensure they align with my style and standards.

What happens if you’re unable to photograph our wedding due to unforeseen circumstances?

While extremely rare, in the unlikely event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness or emergency, I have a network of talented photographers who can step in and provide coverage. Rest assured, your wedding day memories are my priority, and I will ensure you’re taken care of.

Can we request edits or alterations to the final images?

While I strive to deliver images that reflect my artistic vision and your wedding day authentically, I understand that personal preferences may vary. I’m happy to accommodate reasonable edit requests such as color adjustments or minor retouching to ensure you’re thrilled with your final images.

How do you handle unpleasant weather on the wedding day?

I always have a backup plan in place for unpleasant weather. Whether it’s coordinating indoor photo locations or bringing along umbrellas for outdoor shots, I’m prepared to adapt to any weather conditions to ensure you still receive stunning images of your special day.

Can we provide you with a shot list of family and group photos we’d like?

Absolutely! Providing a shot list of family and group photos helps streamline the process on your wedding day. We’ll work together to create a customized shot list tailored to your family dynamics and special requests to ensure we capture all the important moments with your loved ones.

How do you handle low-light or dimly lit venues?

As a professional wedding photographer, I’m experienced in shooting in various lighting conditions, including low-light environments. I use high-quality camera equipment and advanced lighting techniques to ensure your photos are beautifully lit and capture the ambiance of your venue, regardless of lighting challenges.

Can we request specific editing styles for our photos?

While I have a consistent editing style that reflects my artistic vision, I’m open to discussing any specific editing preferences you may have. Whether it’s a particular color palette, black and white conversions, or other editing styles, I’ll work with you to ensure your photos reflect your personal aesthetic.

Do you have experience photographing LGBTQ+ weddings?

Yes, I have experience photographing weddings of all types, including LGBTQ+ weddings. Love is love, and I’m honored to document the unique love stories of all couples, regardless of gender or orientation.

Can we provide input on the final selection of images for our wedding album?

Absolutely! Your wedding album is a cherished keepsake, and I want it to reflect your memories and preferences. After receiving your initial album design, you’ll have the opportunity to review and provide feedback to ensure the final selection of images perfectly captures your wedding day.

How do you ensure a smooth and stress-free experience on our wedding day?

On your wedding day, my goal is to provide a seamless and stress-free experience. I’ll work closely with you, your planner, and other vendors to create a photography timeline that ensures we capture all the important moments while allowing you to enjoy your day to the fullest.
