WHERE DO YOU CALL HOME?
I live in West Sussex but happily travel all over the UK and beyond to shoot weddings. Seeing the world is a huge passion of mine & Rich’s so please don’t be afraid to ask if I will travel for your wedding. I’d love to!
DO YOU CHARGE FOR TRAVEL?
All Travel & accommodation costs are included in my Full Day, HALF DAY & Destination packages. There are no hidden fees.
For HOURLY coverage, travel is charged at 50p per mile each way from my home in West Sussex. if your wedding starts early or finishes late, I may need to charge for overnight accommodation. I will advise you at the time of your enquiry if these additional travel charges are required.
WHAT WEDDING PACKAGES DO YOU OFFER?
You can read all about my wedding packages here.
ARE YOU INSURED?
Yes. I have both Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance. I always bring 2 cameras plus additional equipment to weddings just incase a piece of kit decides to have a moment. I have never missed a wedding but if I ever became too ill to shoot I’m a member of several photography groups and will make sure to replace myself with an equally talented photographer that has a similar style.
SHOULD WE ADD A SECOND SHOOTER?
I WOULD recommend HAVING A SECOND SHOOTER if you WOULD LIKE BOTH PARTNERS MORNING-PREP COVERED AND FOR WEDDINGS THAT HAVE A LARGER GUEST COUNT, TYPICALLY 100 or more. They help give an extra layer to your coverage you wouldn’t have with just one photographer. a second shooter enables me to focus on capturing the emotion at the altAr while my partner can roam about, capturing the beauty and scale of your wedding from different angles. While I focus on your group & couple shots, a second shooter can remain with your other guests, capturing those lovely candid moments. When a second shooter is needed, I have a lovely group of photographers that I call upon WHO I FEEL WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR particular DAY.
DO YOU SHOOT VIDEO?
I don’t offer video coverage. I would definitely recommend booking A PRO if video coverage is important to you. I can send you over the contact details of some of the best videographers I've worked with over the years.
WE’RE A SUPER AWKWARD COUPLE/HATE HAVING OUR PHOTO TAKEN! IS THIS A PROBLEM?
Haha. Not at all! This is definitely Rich & I so we know exactly what you mean and understand completely! It’s probably the reason why we’ve made sure to spend our lives behind the camera rather than ever be in front of it! Many couples are camera shy and this is completely natural. The majority of my work is captured in a documentary style, so hopefully you’ll hardly notice I’m there. That really is when the most beautifully natural shots happen. When we are doing your couple shots, I again try to keep things as natural as possible. I’m not a fan of cheesy poses! However, it can sometimes be really helpful and reassuring to be given a little direction from me. So we’ll go for a little wander around your wedding venue and capture some magic.
CAN WE MEET BEFORE BOOKING?
Yes please! I love meeting couples and hearing all about you and your wedding day plans! If you’re in SUSSEX a chat over a cup of coffee would be lovely or if we’re a bit further apart, a ZOOM call is always great! It’s so important to me that you feel comfortable with the photographer you choose to capture your day. So getting to know each other a little and making sure we’re a great fit is really important.
WHEN WILL THE PHOTOS BE READY?
It normally takes 6-8 weeks for your images to be ready. It can be sooner but depends on the season.
DO YOU OFFER ALBUMS?
Yes! FINE ART ALBUMS ARE A beautiful WAY TO PRESENT AND PRESERVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMETHING SO LOVELY ABOUT A physical HEIRLOOM YOU CAN PASS DOWN THROUGH THE GENERATIONS. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH TO REQUEST MY FINE ART ALBUM brochure.
HOW DO WE BOOK?
To book, get in touch via the contact button below or email me directly at lillywilsonphotography@gmail.com and tell me all about you and your amazing day! It sounds super cheesy but getting to hear a new love story every day is one of the many reasons I absolutely love my job! I will be in touch as soon as possible to let you know of my availability and answer any questions you may have. We can take it from there and hopefully you’ll decide I’m the photographer for you! To secure your wedding date I require a booking RETAINER (20% of your chosen photography package) and a signed contract. You’ll be in my diary and I’ll be counting down the days until I get to capture your beautiful WEDDING.
