How it works

From first email to finished album

What to expect at every step, and the questions almost everyone asks.

  1. 01

    Enquire

    Use the form or email. I'll confirm availability and send the full price list within two working days.

  2. 02

    Meet

    A 30-minute video call, or coffee if you're in Edinburgh. No hard sell — it's for you to decide if you like me.

  3. 03

    Book

    A 25% deposit holds the date. The balance is due two weeks before the shoot.

  4. 04

    Plan

    For weddings, a timeline call a month before. For portraits, a short questionnaire about locations and what you want the photographs for.

  5. 05

    Shoot

    I arrive early, work quietly, and never leave before the last thing on the timeline.

  6. 06

    Deliver

    A sneak peek within 48 hours. The full gallery in six weeks (two for portraits). Albums designed together after that.

FAQ

Questions

Do we get the RAW files?
No — but you get every usable photograph, edited, at full resolution, with a personal print licence. RAW files are unfinished work.
How many photographs will we get?
Full-day weddings: 600 or more. Small weddings: 250+. Portraits: 30–40. I never cap it artificially; you get everything that's good.
Do you travel?
Anywhere. Travel within 50 miles of Edinburgh is included; beyond that it's cost price for transport and, if needed, one night's accommodation.
What if it rains?
It's Scotland — I plan for it. Some of my favourite photographs were made in the rain, and I always know the nearest dry, beautiful spot.
Are the photographs backed up?
Three copies by the end of the day of the shoot: two drives and cloud storage. Galleries stay online for two years.
Can we share the photographs online?
Of course. The licence covers personal use, printing and sharing. If a magazine or brand wants to use them, they contact me.
