Your wedding day is not just one day for us. We don’t just simply turn up and take photographs, we offer much more. There is months of planning, talking about your wedding day, discussing colour schemes and sharing Pinterest boards. We contact your co-ordinator and research your venue, ensuring we are fully prepped! We feel it’s important that our clients know what to expect, so here is some information to give you an idea of what to expect when you book us!
What to expect when booking with us…
-
Booking - Our booking process is quick, easy and is done online in a matter of minutes. We give you a contract to sign, ask for a small deposit and that’s it, your all booked in!
Extras - Many of our couples book an engagement shoot with us. This is a great chance for us to get to know you! Think of it as taking an evening stroll across Formby beach, whilst we capture some amazing pictures as the sunsets.
Planning - During the months leading up to your wedding we will keep in touch and share ideas. Around 8 weeks before the big day we will ask you to complete our pre-wedding questionnaire. This will give us a better understanding of your wedding day and allow us to create a timeline for your wedding. We will speak to your wedding co-ordinator and research the venue so we are fully prepped!

Arrival - We arrive in plenty of time, say hello, then get to work. We will take photographs of your beautiful flowers, shoes and any other special items you have for your wedding day. We will then take a step back and document the morning as it happens.
The day - Our approach is to document your day, catch the laughs and capture the memories. After your ceremony we will organise your guests for a beautiful confetti shot and a large group photograph perfect for your album. We will then mingle with guests as they enjoy the drinks reception.
Portraits - This is when you will have some much needed time together as newly weds with some privacy away from your guests. You will be left to walk, talk and tell each other stories and enjoy the moment. We will gently guide you to create beautiful portraits for your album. Later in the evening when the sun begins to set, if possible, we will take 15minutes to go outside and enjoy the beautiful light.
Evening - The evenings are always fun! We will capture your first dance and everyone dancing away, then leave you to enjoy your wedding evening.
-
Sneak Peaks - After your wedding we will create a small preview of your beautiful photographs. You will be able to view them and share them with your friends and family.
Photographs - When your full gallery has been edited, around 8 weeks after your wedding, we will upload your images, with no watermarks, to your private online gallery. Depending on your package, a USB may be included with a selection of prints in your stunning presentation box. Your photographs will then be delivered to you.
Albums - All our albums are bespoke to each client. Once you have received your images, we will ask you to choose your photographs. We will then create your beautiful album telling the story of your wedding day. We will ensure you’re 100% happy before we send it off to print. This whole process takes around 6 weeks.

Do you have insurance? Is your business registered?
We are a fully registered business with HMRC and have a comprehensive public liability policy. Our photographer Mark, also has a clear DBS Check.
Do you carry back-up Equipment?
In a word, YES! We carry back-ups of everything and back-ups of those! So that when you start walking down the isle and our camera doesn’t work, we have another in our hand ready to go! (Yes, it happens!) We also use ‘Dual Memory Cards’ in our cameras. This means, when we take a picture, it is stored onto two different cards. This means if a card was ever to fail, (Yes, this happens too!) we have a second copy, meaning your wedding images are safe!
How will we receive our images? How many pictures will we get?
Most of our packages include our stunning USB & Box with a selection of prints. All of your images will be beautifully edited in our style and uploaded to the USB. You will receive full printing rights which means you can have them printed as and when you wish. Your photographs will not have any ‘logo’ attached to them. We will also upload your photographs to your own online gallery. We estimate you will receive anywhere from 300-500 photographs of your wedding, but we would never put a number on it as every wedding is different.
