A STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY COVERAGE
Organising your wedding photography is a huge investment and it can be stressful not knowing what is involved. Here is a step by step guide to how it works if you were to book with me.
Firstly, if you like the photographs you are seeing and want to know more then all you have to do is get in touch via the contact form. We can discuss the plans for your day and how much fun it is getting your photograph taken by me!
relaxed pre-wedding photographs giving you confidence for your day
Pre shoot's are great for breaking the ice and getting rid of any'getting-my-photograph-taken-nerves'
whilst also letting you see my process for capturing your day! So when it comes to your wedding day
you will feel confident, relaxed & happy about getting your photographs taken!
your wedding day
All the planning, organising, wishing & thinking is done and now it's time to have B E S T day ever. It really does pass in a blink of an eye and you will honestly love sharing such incredible moments with your family and closest friends. Prior to your wedding you will be sent a booking form which lets me know the timings and other particulars of your day so I can be completely organised for capturing it for you ... so you can just go and have fun and I will capture all those smiles.
During your wedding day I focus on capturing you, my couples, but I also like to chat to your guests and make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed around me ... by doing this it helps those hilarious, candid & super special moments to happen (and to be photographed!)
CLAIRE & ROSS' DAY LOOKED A LITTLE LIKE THIS ....

what will i be doing on your wedding day?
(typical timeline for a ceremony at 2pm)
1130am - I arrive at morning prep. I most likely start with some simple detail shots so people get warmed up to me being there and then capture you all getting ready.
130pm - I arrive at the ceremony venue to capture your guests arriving and your partner with their family & their side of the wedding party ... sometimes looking nervous, sometimes sneaking a dram but always looking pretty darn excited!
2pm - Your ceremony begins & I capture all those precious moments ... from best friends doing readings, to your vows, the sneaky looks that you give each other & your mums shedding a tear.
2.45pm - You're married and everyone is hugging, smiling & congratulating you both! I'm floating in the background catching all of it. To confetti or not to confetti? ... If you go for it I can help you arrange it to get fab, fun photographs of you in it!
3pm - We photograph your family formal photographs. Prior to your day I will send you out a booking form where you can list what group photographs you want. This makes this part of the day go smoothly and you don't need to worry about forgetting anyone! Being organised means we can do these nice and quickly so everyone can get back to enjoying the fizz & canapies!
3.30pm - Let's go and take some photographs of you guys as a freshly married couple! We'll go for a walk, pick a nice spot and hang out for 20mins. Nothing too stiff or awkward - I keep it light and fun and taking photographs of happy people is kinda my thing!
4pm - Go enjoy time with your guests whilst I mingle and capture more candid moments. I'll also get some details shots of the reception set up too.
5pm - Guests are sat for dinner and speeches commence. This is one of my favourite times of the day ... lots of laughter, smiles and happy tears to photograph!
5.45pm until 7pm - Dinner. I'll usually take a break here and grab some dinner too.
7pm until 8pm - I'll ask if you both want to go for another 10 minutes more of couple photographs. This is a lovely part of your day as the formalities are finished with and I find couples can be more relaxed and enjoy getting some more quiet time together.
8pm onwards - The first dance happens and your nearest & dearest join you to party the night away! I stay and capture all the wild dance moves and leave approximately 20 minutes or so after the first dance.
what happens next?
A couple of days after your Wedding you will receive some Previews. These are a small selection showing some highlights from your wedding. These will be so exciting to see and you'll love to share them with friends and family! Next you will receive your online gallery and you will get to re-live your special day all over again! Your gallery will arrive with all your photographs from your day no more than 6 weeks after your wedding.

lovely words FROM recent couples
"Suzanne was a brilliant choice of photographer from start to finish. On our wedding day, she was a fantastic presence, blending in and honestly, could have been one of our guests. We were so, so pleased with the photos she took, so many of them are great and with such variety. She did a terrific job of capturing our big day and opening the gallery transports us right back to the magic."
“Thank you so much for being the best photographer we could have hoped for! I have had a look through the photos and we love them! So many lovely pics to choose from! So many of our guests commented as well about how good you were! You made two very self-conscious people feel very relaxed and I am so so pleased with them … Thank you sooo much.”
"Suzanne is the most wonderful, kind and funny person. Nothing felt intrusive and she made us feel very comfortable. By the evening it just felt like we had another, albeit very talented, friend at the wedding."
"We are absolutely blown away by the photographs! They are just incredible and even better than what I could have ever imagined. I have no idea how we are ever going to pick our favourites. Also absolutely loved the slideshow I have genuinely watched it every day!! Thanks so much again for being the most incredible photographer."
“Wow these pictures are amazing, we love them all! Thank you so much, I have lost count how many times I have looked through them! It brings back all the amazing memories of the day! We are so happy that we had you to capture it for us!”
“Wowsers! The photos are fantastic and we both absolutely love them! I've already viewed them way more than I would like to admit … You are truly such a talented photographer and we are so happy that you were part of our day (being photographed was the thing that worried us the most but those worries were quick to disappear!)”
