The Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you based?

Peter lives in the heart of the beautiful Essex countryside but being a world travelling photographer, he has no ‘base’ so to speak. But then all he needs to work his magic is a camera, a laptop, some light and a beautiful couple like you!

Stephanie is based out of Knoxville, Tennessee and Cathy lives in Dublin, Ireland.

Do you only shoot in and around London?

Absolutely not. Whilst some of our work sees us travelling to London and around the Home counties, we travel extensively throughout the UK, Europe, Australia and America. In fact, we offer bespoke packages for all destination weddings. For a personalised quote, send us an email with what your plans are and we’ll build your dream photography package, completely obligation free!

What cameras do you use?

We use a combination of full frame (professional) Nikon and Canon cameras and lenses with dual card slots for back up purposes. That said, the camera itself plays a very small part in the creation of a stunning and timeless photo, as it is just a tool. The real creativity and flair comes from the person behind the camera and so in this way, it is far more important to consider a photographers portfolio than what equipment they use to shoot it.

Will you ‘Photoshop’ me/us?

Yes… but perhaps not how you’re thinking. We use a combination of the Adobe software products Lightroom and Photoshop to enhance certain parts of the photos. We use these programmes to subtly change lighting or colour temperature within the images and maybe to add the odd bit of drama to a special shot. So fear not. We won’t be airbrushing you in to oblivion and stopping you recognising yourself in your own wedding pictures.

We have received a cheaper quote than yours. Can you beat it?

Our pricing framework is equal for all of our clients and, as such, the quote we provide will be the very best we can offer. Discounting our work further would be unfair to our current couples. We sincerely value the feelings of those who have decided to use us and we cannot compromise their trust and belief in our high quality products and service, which we take immense pride in. Whilst we do our best to offer you the best value, we don’t compete on price in order to secure a booking.

If you are happy with another photographer’s work and their prices are within your budget, we respectfully recommend you book with them.

Free consultation? Really?

We feel that it’s really important to meet your photographer and for us to meet you. As such, Peter would love to meet you and have a chat over a nice cup of coffee to make sure that we are really what you want (I’m sure we will be!) and to discuss exactly what you want from your wedding photography. After this initial consultation, we hope to leave you in the ideal position to choose if we are the best fit for you and you can come back for as many consultations as you want, right up to your wedding day!

Are you insured?

We know that your wedding is one of the most precious days of your life and we promise that we’ll be as caring over it as you are. However, should something unthinkable happen (it hasn’t yet!) then you can rest assured that we are fully covered by a professional indemnity insurance policy of up to £5 million.

I have a question that isn’t answered here, what should I do?
