Is a deposit required to secure you as our photographer?
Yes. To secure my services for your wedding date a non-refundable booking fee of £150 will be required. All outstanding balances will be payable one month before the wedding. Monthly installments can be arranged. Payment can only be made by cash or cheque (Payable to Miss Lauren Mitchell)

What is a pre-wedding shoot?
A pre-wedding shoot helps you to become comfortable working with me and the camera. It will also give us a chance to see which poses work well and overcome any problems so the wedding day runs smoothly. This will last approximately 45 minutes.

When can we arrange our pre-wedding shoot?
This can be arranged once your deposit has cleared and the relevant documents have been signed. We can shoot in the studio or at the location of the reception. You must however obtain prior permission from the venue.

What happen if I fall outside the 40mile radius?
A small travel fee will be incurred.

Can you create a wedding package to suit my needs?
Of course. I would be happy to create a package designed for your special day. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.

Who will be photographing my wedding?
Lauren Mitchell will always be the principal photographer at your wedding.

Do you work with an assistant?
Yes. I know how important your wedding day is so I find it is vital for a professional assistant to be present. Not only do they keep the equipment ready at all times but they also help me shoot requested photographs.

What kind of equipment do you use and do you carry back-up equipment?
I only use professional Canon equipment, this includes digital cameras and lenses. I will carry backup equipment.

How many photographs will you take on the day?
Typically I can take between 300-700 images.

How quickly can we see proofs from the wedding?
I will send you or you can collect your DVD 1 week after your wedding day.

How are the finished photographs printed?
All my finished work is printed by a professional laboratory. Inkjet, laser or thermal printing, however good can never match professional printed photographs on professional paper.

Can we have Black and White and retouching done to our photographs?
Of course. You can have any photograph digitally manipulated. Basic retouching can be applied, however, more extensive and labour intensive retouching may incur a small fee

Can we buy reprints or have enlargements?
Yes. Reprinting and enlargement costs can be found on the website. Please click here. All reprints and enlargements will be printed in Lustre unless otherwise specified.
