What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

In order to provide a detailed quote I will first need to know the date and location of the event and an explanation of the event that is needing to be photographed. This is so I can check availability and work out travel and accommodation costs and check that I offer the services you require. I will then need to know how many hours that you require a photographer for on the day of your event so that I can work out how much time I am going to need to edit photos and can charge accordingly.
I then need to know what photo formats you want your photos in for example on a gallery, USB stick, prints or an album.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

When looking for a photographer it is important that you vibe with that person as if this is for a wedding you will be spending a lot of time with that person. You also want to check their reviews and portfolio to make sure you like the style of their work. Before booking any photography service make sure to sign a contract that details the photographer's full terms and conditions and note that there will be a small deposit to pay to secure services with a photographer.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

Photography has been a big part of my life for a very long time and I love it because it allows me to capture the beauty found in a moment. I have always had a camera in my hand from a young age and it's still very rare that I leave the house without one when I am out on my adventures travelling.
Getting married myself was the final push I needed to start photography professionally, which was when I decided to further my knowledge of photography by studying an EQF LEVEL 5 Professional Diploma in Photography and it was after this that I decided to bite the bullet and start my own business.
I am based in West Berkshire but, I travel to photo shoots all over the UK.
I have been running my business since 2018 and it is the best decision I ever made I have had the opportunity to meet many many couples and help them with their photos on their wedding days as well as attaching the odd buttonhole. I am not only a photographer on the day, Try to think of me as your little helper who likes to make sure your day runs as smoothly as possible and will work with your event planner to ensure this happens.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

No bookings made through Add to Event as of yet as new to this site. I have however photographed over 30 weddings and so much more.
