wedding photography questions

Charlotte Sams Photography
Is travel included?

Most locations accross the UK will be included. Let me know where your venue is and I will send you a quote. For destination weddings, travel & acommodation costs are required.

How does booking work?

If you're interested in working together, let me know your date, then we will arrange a video call to discuss your ideas and how to make them happen! Once we have a finalised package, I will send you a contract via Signable and 25% deposit invoice to secure your booking. We will have further video or in-person chats nearer your day, to keep on track. Then voila, I turn up on the day and capture your memories!

What's it like having you there on the day?
How long does it take to get our photos delivered?
Do we have to feed you on the day?
What if we're getting married abroad?
What if we don't have a date yet?
Do you shoot video too?

I will slot into your day easily and with your friends and family (one of my most common compliments is how I get on well with people). I may tidy a few items away for photography during preparations, or suggest good locations for couples photos and portraits, but generally, my work focuses on the candid real moments. During prep or couples portraits I may offer prompts and soft poses to ensure you have these beautiful keepsake images too. 

I aim to get your images back asap. Sneak peeks are within a few days, and your full digital gallery will be with you within 8 weeks. For albums, once you have chosen your images and options, the turnaround time is around 3 weeks.

Many venues offer supplier meals at discounted rates. If this is the case I'd love food there, but if not, no problem. I am happy to bring my own, just let me know either way.

I cover all kinds of events; elopements, intimate weddings - I'm happy to travel. If you want to work together, get in touch and let's make it happen!

I can't take your booking until you have your date secured, so get in touch as soon as you have your date and we can book your call.

I focus on stills photography as that's my ultimate passion, but I have a network of trusted suppliers including videographers, so I am happy to help you source one! Let me know as soon as possible after booking and I will reach out to them. 

I don't like having my photo taken, how will this affect our day?

No problem, camera shy people, I completely get you! Your wedding photos can be as relaxed or as formal as you like, there's no stress. I'm very used to working with people who maybe feel a bit awkward in front of the camera, and with little prompts from me they always do amazing in the end! Perhaps consider an engagement shoot to get you used to being photographed.

What if you are ill?

If I am physically able I will be at your day with an assistant or second shooter to help me. In the case I cannot be there, I have a selection of other trusted photographers I can send in my place to shoot, and I will edit the photos still myself.

ARE YOU INSURED?

Yes. If your venue asks for my insurance let me know and I can send it through.
