FAQ
It isn’t every day you book a wedding photographer so to help eliminate any confusion when booking your photography I have compiled a list of frequently asked questions that hopefully cover most of the process. If you still feel like you have questions that are unanswered please do not hesitate to drop me an email at hello@sarahbethphoto.co.uk
SO WE WANT TO BOOK, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
To book your wedding date I ask for a deposit of £200. I willI will send over an invoice and information on how to secure your date with a booking fee. I also pop over an electronic agreement to confirm your booking.
Around 4 months prior to your wedding I send out an online details form, this includes a few brief questions outlining timings and locations for your big day. This information will help me begin to plan an itinerary for myself so I know exactly where to be and at what time on the day. Included in my package is also a complimentary pre-wedding consultation, which I usually plan in around 4-5 weeks prior to your big day. This is a great opportunity for us to have a catch up about your plans.
DO WE NEED TO HAVE THE ENGAGEMENT SHOOT?
The engagement shoot I offer additional to my wedding package is a great opportunity for us to have some fun and get to know each other before the big day. I like to keep the shoot relaxed and fun usually lasting around an hour. The location can be up to you, it can be somewhere sentimental to you both or I have a list of recommendations at the ready. I love seeing what couples do with their images, often using them to decorate their reception area at their wedding venue or using them as thank you cards.
Due to the nature of my working week, all engagement shoots are booked between Monday-Friday (great excuse to take a day off work!)
I am happy to travel around Hu11 and surrounding areas up to a 20 mile round trip however locations further afield may incur a small travel expense.
WHAT IS A PRE-WEDDING meeting?
I arrange to meet with all of my couples around 4 – 5 weeks prior to your wedding day. This gives us the opportunity to catch up about your wedding plans and allows me to build a timeline of your day. If you are out of the area and cannot find a suitable time to meet I am happy to call or Skype.
