Frequently Asked Questions:
What is your approach to wedding photography? - I take a relaxed yet focussed approach to my photography, I'm not a photographer who shouts whilst bossing people around. If you would like to do a particular photograph, then just let me know, even if it's on the day.
Shall we make a list of photographs we want with people? - I don't tend to work to lists as it turns the situation into a formal moment on the day. If it helps you both as a couple to provide a list just to check we've covered everybody, then I'm happy to accommodate that. I try and organise the group photograph first, that way we have everyone present, the smaller group photographs usually follow and takes about 20-30 minutes depending on how many people are present. I try and do these as efficiently as possible to prevent delays and guest boredom!
Do we need to pay a deposit and when do you need the final payment? - To secure your date in the diary, there is a non refundable deposit of £100. This can be paid by bank transfer, cash or cheque upon signing. The remainder of the balance is due up to fourteen days before the wedding. If you would prefer to pay in instalments, then this can be arranged by request.
What camera equipment do you use? - My camera equipment comprises of the latest Nikon technology. I use two professional cameras, a Nikon D4s and a Nikon D5, complimented with a plethora of lenses. The results are stunning.
Do you visit the wedding venue before the day? - I have photographed weddings now for a number of years and I am known to quite a few venues within Gloucestershire, so the chances are that I will know your venue unless you are doing something completely bespoke. There will however be occasions where I will unable to visit locations unless I am passing during other photography jobs around the country. We can discuss this in person as I like to meet with you both again a couple of weeks before the wedding day just to catch up and confirm the details.
Are you insured? - I am fully covered with the correct insurance for my business including Public Liability of up to £2m.
What if you are ill or cannot make the wedding? - I hear this question a lot, I have never had to cancel on a wedding and hopefully I will never have to. However I know and work closely with other photographers to the same standard, either my family or I will arrange a photographer to be at your wedding as a last resort. I do my best to keep myself fit and healthy all year round!

How many photographs do you take at a wedding? - I ensure I capture as many scenes and people as I can during the day. Depending on how many guests and places I visit on the day, I can take anything from 1500-2500 images on a full day package and 1000-1300 during half a day package.
Do I see all of my photographs you take on the day? - No, I wouldn't have enough space on a memory drive! I take lots of repeats of the same subject on the day, especially when involving people, because naturally we all blink! I estimate around 400-600 on a full day package, 250-400 on a half day package will be enclosed on your memory drive.
What is the turnaround time for the photographs after the wedding? - I don't rush my job, the post processing of the images can take between four to six weeks. If you are ordering proof books and albums, the printers will add up to fourteen days onto my time.
Who owns the copyright to the images? - The photographer will always own the copyright to the images they take. However all wedding couples are permitted to use the photographs to their hearts content as long as they are not being sold on to a third party. If you wanted to print photographs off at the shop for your friends then this is absolutely fine, I can also print these for you too!
Do you do albums? - Of course! Yes, my album supplier has a whole choice of wedding albums, coffee table books and proof books to choose from. A selection is available to look at during your meeting with Jack at his studio in Tewkesbury. Prices vary between each product, but Jack will go through this with you.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Jack as he will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
