Frequently Asked Questions

I take great pride in keeping my clients fully informed about everything happening on my end. If I ever miss an update or if my clients need a reminder, they know they can always reach out to me by email or phone. I’m always here to chat and make sure everything is clear.

Where is your Pricing?

I don’t list my pricing on my website because every event is unique. A full-day event in Belfast City Centre with multiple activities and certain people who cannot be photographed is much more demanding than a smaller gathering nearby. If you’re interested in finding out how much it would cost to have me capture your event, please send me an inquiry.

What’s the process of working with you?

  1. Initial Meeting: We’ll have a meeting to see if we’re a good fit. No pressure—you’re free to walk away if you decide not to book me.
  2. Decision: You’ll decide whether you’d like me to be your photographer.
  3. Contract & Booking Fee: If you choose me, we’ll finalize things with a contract and a booking fee.
  4. Quiet Period: Things will be quiet for a bit, but you can always reach out if you have any questions, even if they’re not photography-related. I’m here to help!
  5. Final Payment: Due on the 1st of the month of your event.
  6. Final Meeting: We’ll have a virtual meeting in the final month before your event to review the schedule and make sure everything is set for the day of the event.
  7. Timings Review: I’ll share the timeline with you to confirm details and get a list of your suppliers (if applicable).
  8. Event Day: I’ll be there for the agreed-upon hours, ready to capture every inch and person of the event.
  9. Sneak Peeks: Within 72 hours, you’ll get at least 10 fully edited high-resolution preview photos of your day that you can download and share on instagram/other socials. You will also receive some in real time (additional cost and must be decided before event) to share on stories etc.
  10. Pre-Registration Open: I’ll launch a pre-registration page that you can share, which you can share.
  11. Full Gallery Delivery: Within 1 week, you’ll receive a gallery with at least 200 photos. You’ll have control over who can access the gallery, and those with access can download the photos for free.
  12. Album Design: If an album is part of your package, you’ll start selecting photos for it, and this must be completed within the year your gallery is live.
  13. Gallery Expiration: Your gallery will be available online for one year, so it will last through your first anniversary. You can extend this if needed, but otherwise, you’ll need to download and save your photos as my backup will be removed after a year.

How do you work on the day?

I’m all about blending in with your guests and capturing authentic moments. My personality is perfect for events—I’ll be chatting, cracking jokes, and moving discreetly to capture everything. I’ll also gently guide some moments to ensure the best photos, but you’ll hardly notice I’m doing it.

Do you do Videography?

I do indeed! I offer tiktok and other social media packages, it is nothing major and is simply for personal use. If your interested please include this in your enquiry form.

Can we print our photos and make albums ourselves?

Absolutely! All the photos in your final gallery are yours to download, share, and print. You can make albums too, though from experience, it’s often easier to let me handle that for you.

What if you’re ill?

While I’m generally healthy, life can be unpredictable. If I’m unable to attend, I’ll refund your payments (excluding any pre-event shoots). Before that, I’ll reach out to my emergency cover network to find a suitable replacement photographer, keeping you informed every step of the way.

What if your camera breaks?

I always carry multiple cameras, lenses, and flashes, so I’m prepared for any equipment failure.

Will you visit our venue beforehand?

It’s rare for me to visit venues in advance, even if I haven’t shot there before. Pre-visits can inspire ideas, but conditions on the actual day—like weather and light—are what really matter. I always do my research and combine that with your input.

How many photos will we get?

I don’t commit to an exact number, but for a full-day event (9+ hours), you can expect at least 150 photos. I capture more when there’s a lot happening and less during quieter moments.

Why don’t we receive physical items as standard?

Every event organiser has different needs, but most want digital files as the standard. That’s why I offer a fully digital package by default.

How are payments broken down?

A £30 non-refundable (under any circumstances) booking fee is required when you decide to book me. This fee is then deducted from your chosen package price.

Do you back up our photos?

Yes, absolutely. Each photo is saved to two memory cards in my camera, and then I back everything up to multiple devices once I’m home. After a year, when your gallery expires, I’ll delete the photos from my professional storage.

How many events do you cover per year?

I typically photograph 40-50 events annually. This allows me to deliver the best service while still having time for my family, friends, and my cute little cat pixie!
