Frequently asked questions
Do you take a deposit?
Yes. A £200 deposit secures your date, and it comes off your package price.
Do you charge for travel?
There are no extra travel costs for weddings within a two-hour journey from Darlington. I cover the whole of the North East, from Berwick-upon-Tweed down to North Yorkshire. For weddings further away, just get in touch and I’ll give you a quote.
How many photos will we get?
There isn’t a set number. It depends on things like the length of your coverage, the number of guests and how your day unfolds. Every photo you receive is carefully edited, and none of the best moments get left out.
Will you be the one photographing our wedding?
Yes. I work alone, so the person you speak to when you book is the person who turns up on the day.

“What an incredibly talented man. The photos that were captured on our day are nothing short of perfection. Lee is totally easy going, so down to earth and friendly. We were anxious as we’ve never been photographed before but nothing was a bother and Lee helped us along the way tenfold. Lee felt more like a guest at our wedding than a photographer, the only mistake you’ll make is not hiring Lee to capture your most precious day. Forever thankful for you Lee!”
“Absolutely fantastic photographer! Very professional, thorough, efficient and friendly. Lee put us and the guests at ease, he also came up with some great ideas for our photos. The photos are great quality and captured our day perfectly. Thank you!”
