Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you cover beyond Manchester?
I'm based in Manchester but regularly travel throughout Northwest England for photography sessions. This includes Lancashire, Cheshire, Merseyside, and parts of Yorkshire. For locations further afield, a small travel fee may apply. I'm always happy to discuss your specific location needs—just ask!
How would you describe your photography style?stion?
My approach is candid, minimal, and natural. Rather than heavily posed shots, I focus on capturing authentic moments as they unfold. I work with natural light whenever possible and keep editing subtle to preserve the genuine feel of each moment. My goal is to document real connections and emotions in a way that feels timeless rather than trendy, so your photos will be cherished for years to come.
What are your photography packages and pricing?
My photography packages start at £350 for portrait sessions and £1,500 for weddings. Each package includes pre-session consultation, the photography session itself, careful editing, and digital delivery of your images. I also offer beautiful print collections and albums as add-ons. I believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees—please contact me for a detailed price guide tailored to your specific needs.
How far in advance should I book you for my event/session?
For weddings and major events, I recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak season dates (May-September). For portrait sessions, family photos, and business photography, 4-6 weeks notice is usually sufficient. However, I occasionally have last-minute availability, so it's always worth reaching out regardless of your timeline!
