Yes of course. I always ask for a list before the wedding of any group images. This way you can spend the time figuring out all the different combinations you would like before hand rather than taking up valuable time on the wedding day. These images are important and especially for parents and family. Please note if you wish to add extras or change anything on the day this is absolutely fine with me too. I try to keep this time to max 20 minutes so everyone can enjoy the wedding reception.

Yes. I always photograph any details I can and aim to photograph the dress, shoes, flowers and all the details of the tables set up. I understand the work that goes into the details on the day and having images of these are very important.

I am always open to any ideas you have on the day and will be happy to discuss and ideas you may have.

There will be a little posing during the family photos and the couples portraits but I will guide you through this. Some couples love the portrait time and really love posing for the camera. Others like minimal fuss and I can adapt accordingly. I like to keep the family photos to a minimum and this way your day is not interrupted. My style as a wedding photographer is very natural with a documentary style. On the day I like to be present but discrete. I like to be in the middle of the action to get the best shots but I get my shot quickly and will soon be out of the way. I always have great feed back from my clients who tell me I put them at ease all day.

I usually like to do the family (group) photos sometime after the ceremony and before dinner. I aim to take the couples portraits when the light is at its best. This is usually the time just before sunset. I don't spend more than 15 minutes and often this time works well while all the guests are getting seated for dinner. Sometimes the time can be split, especially if you are having a church ceremony. 5 minutes of portraits is sometimes all you need to have some photos in the location around the church and then we can have 5-10 minutes back at the venue. I really try to make sure the photography throughout the day does not intrude on the day.
