FAQ’s

Here’s a few answers to some common questions I often get with my wedding photography services. Of course, if you would like to get in touch to ask anything else then please drop me an email at info@jamesdaviesweddingphotography.com

HOW DO WE CONFIRM A BOOKING WITH YOU?

First of all, fill in one of my online forms or drop me an email to confirm my availability for your date. I will then send you a quote, if you would like to proceed then let me know by return email. To confirm the booking then you will need to return my T&C’s signed & pay a 20% deposit. The remaining balance is then due on the day of the exchange of photos.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SHOOTING WEDDINGS AND WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE?

2024 will be my 10th year shooting as a wedding photographer with over 350x weddings shot.

ARE YOU INSURED?

Yes! I'm fully insured for public liability and professional indemnity.

HOW DO WE RECEIVE OUR IMAGES?

On a beautiful, downloadable, fully backed up and shareable Pixieset album cloud link.

Do you back up your images?

YES! As soon as I get back in I backup to 4x separate hard drives. 1x is kept externally + I also backup a lower res version of your album to the Adobe cloud. I also record to 2x SD cards on the day in each camera.

CAN YOU SHOW US A WEDDING IN ITS ENTIRETY FROM START TO FINISH?

Yes! The portfolios on this website are just a few of my favourite images from the day so if you would like to view a full days wedding portfolio just ask and i'll send over a digital album so you can view it on your desktop, tablet or mobile device. 

WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR IMAGES?

Within 28x days after your wedding day.

YOU HAVE A NATURAL STYLE BUT WE ALSO WANT FORMAL GROUP PHOTO'S OF OUR FAMILY & FRIENDS ON THE DAY. IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Yes! All i require is a list of all the staged formal photos you require and we can work through these photos on the day. I usually allocate 30 minutes or so for these photos later in the afternoon at the reception venue.

DO WE GET HIGH RESOLUTION & COPYRIGHT FREE IMAGES OF OUR DAY?

Yes! All images I supply you with are in their highest resolution and you will also own the copyright (alongside with myself) of all the images I supply you with so no hidden extra costs at the end. 

CAN YOU SUPPLY A PRINTED WEDDING ALBUM?

As an optional extra I can supply a beautiful A3 layflat wedding album printed on gallery quality 400gsm Fuji lustre paper. 50x sided hardback book is £350

WHAT CAMERA EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

The latest Sony A9ii (x2) with a 35mm 1.4 lens and an 85mm 1.4 lens (one on each shoulder). The best wedding camera equipment on the market. I also hold 2x spare Sony A7iii’s + a range of spare lenses.

WE ARE GETTING MARRIED ABROAD? DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?

Yes, I have recently shot weddings in Spain & Italy for UK based couples. I will quote you for a full days wedding coverage + flights, accommodation + car hire if required. For more info please visit my prices & packages tab in the menu.

What happens if you have not shot at our venue before?

Kent is full of first class wedding venues and during the summer months I shoot at a new venue more or less every week. All wedding venues are structured very similarly and are all in one place. It is not a problem if I have never shot at your venue before, I always arrive 30 mins to an hour early on every wedding I shoot and I use this time to scope out the venue. for the best shots throughout the day.
