Frequently asked questions

We provide both photography and videography services for weddings, including engagement shoots, full-day coverage, and feature films, and reels for social media.

It’s super easy!

The best way to get started is to:

1. Get in touch via my contact form so I get the main details I need.

2. We’ll have a Welcome Call to work out if I am the right photographer or videographer for you.

3. You then say “I want to book you.” Hooray!

4. I send over a quote for you to confirm what you want as part of your booking.

5. Once you accept your quote, a contract and invoice will follow. Pay a £100.00 deposit and sign the contract and you’re all done.

A deposit and signed contract are required to secure your wedding date.

If you have any questions you can email info@tdfilmphoto.co.uk or call me on 07899911892.

I specialise in candid, documentary photography and videography with an editing and colour style that’s true to life. I capture the raw moments and emotion of your special day, whilst my editing style allows the details and colour choices you make and have spent so much time considering to shine in all their glory.

I prefer to slip into the background so that everyone at your wedding can feel comfortable in having these special moments throughout your big day, and I can unobtrusively capture them.

This doesn’t mean I won’t take charge for things like group photos. I make this a fun experience for everyone so no one feels like they would rather be at the bar or something.

I feel this very much depends on how you go on the day. Sometimes couples are naturally soaking in that moment as a breather from the busy-ness of their wedding day. Other couples might need a little guidance what to do in front of the camera. And that’s ok!

Whatever I do ask will be subtle, nothing too dramatic! Things like “look towards each other”, “hold hands”, and “walk with each other” etc.

I really do like to capture how the couple are and allow the couple to enjoy their day, but I leave my prompts open for you to make that moment yours whilst I capture it.

Yes, I offer engagement sessions as part of our packages or as a standalone service.

I primarily create cinematic wedding films that bring all the highlight moments of your wedding day to the forefront, using sections from your ceremony and speeches to create a beautiful story of your day.

I also produce highlight reels, full run-through films of the ceremony and speeches, and can also supply all footage to suit your preferences. These are all either within packages or available as add-ons which you can review and add on to your booking when I send you your quote.

Yes, I have a drone and the use of it is complimentary for all my photography and videography packages, subject to appropriate weather conditions and no restrictions in place.

I am a CAA registered drone pilot that is fully insured.

Yes, I am fully insured with the correct liability insurance and protection for your wedding day.

There is never a 100% guarantee with this. But yes, I use multiple means of backing up your content.

Firstly, I back up my weddings as soon as I return back to my laptop from your wedding. Getting things copied over is my main priority post-wedding.

I then have multiple drives with RAWs and edited files and then duplicate drives in different locations and cloud storage too to lower the chances of files corrupting or getting lost due to unforeseen events like a house fire.

I do charge some travel costs for counties outside of Devon and accommodation costs if it is too far to travel on the same day.

I like to make sure I'm close to the wedding the night before when it is over 3 hours away to eliminate any risk of something going wrong like traffic or break downs.

Typically, it takes about 6-8 weeks to edit and deliver your wedding photos and videos, but this can vary based on the season and workload.

I will do my best to keep you and my social feeds up to date with where I am with my editing queue.

Follow me on Facebook and Instagram.

You will receive your photos and videos via a secure online gallery.

This digital-first approach means we’re doing our little bit for the environment by reducing emissions from delivery services.

That said, I can provide USB drives on request, but for an additional cost.

Yes, I offer high-quality photo albums and prints. Prints can be ordered directly through your online gallery.

Photo albums can be ordered on request and you will be asked to favourite images in your gallery that you want included.

This is such an important question. In the whole time I've been capturing weddings, there hasn't been a time where I've not been able to show up for a wedding.

If for some reason I couldn't make a wedding, I have 6 other photographers and 3 videographers who are incredibly talented and we work together to cover in an emergency.

If they are unavailable, I am in a group specifically made for photographers can to get cover at the last minute. They would just be there to photograph your day and I would still edit your wedding to ensure you are still getting the style of work that you want.

But please be reassured that this is very unlikely and is only done in the absolute worst-case scenario.

I continue investing to keep hold of my couples’ RAW photos and videos for as long as possible but I can’t guarantee to be able to provide that forever.

I always recommend you make the most of the ability you have to download and make as many copies as you like, rather than put all reliance on me as your personal backup method.
