FAQ about Wedding Photography


HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PHOTOGRAPHING WEDDINGS?

I have been shooting weddings since 1999. I used to shoot with a film camera, but today, in the digital era, I shoot with a digital camera.

HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE WE CAN SEE OUR PICTURES?

All of your images will usually be online within 3 weeks, but there will be a sneak preview on my blog about a week after the wedding.

DO YOU STILL DO THE TRADITIONAL GROUP SHOTS?

I am happy to do a few traditional groups, this will take 20 – 30 minutes depending on the size of the groups. Every wedding should reserve some time for the group shots.

Yes, please do, but don’t use them for commercial purposes without my consent (you can’t sell them), and if you’re sending them on to your hairdresser/magazines, just let me know to make sure the appropriate size and quality is delivered.

CAN MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY BUY PICTURES?

Yes, you will have an online gallery with a password which you can give out to your friends and family.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

We use Canon DSLRs (mainly 5D Mk IIIs), and a range of L lenses (including 24-70mm f2.8, 700-200mm f2.8)

DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?

Yes, We are covered for Professional Indemnity and Public Liability.

DID YOU STUDY PHOTOGRAPHY AT UNIVERSITY?

No, I am a self-taught photography enthusiast.

DO YOU YOU HAVE AN ASSISTANT?

Normally I work alone, but if you request a second shooter I can arrange that for you. I will be the ‘lead photographer’.

WHERE ARE YOU BASED?

We are based in Basildon, but we are available for weddings all over Essex, Kent and Greater London. If your wedding is further than that we’ll charge extra for travel expenses.

DO YOU REQUIRE A MEAL AT OUR RECEPTION?

No, we are quite happy to bring our own food and sneak off at the ideal times.

I DON’T LIVE NEAR YOU, CAN WE SKYPE/WHATSUP/ZOOM?

Yes! Although it’s a bit nerve-wracking chatting over the net, it’s a great alternative if you live in Italy!

DO YOU VIDEO WEDDINGS TOO?

Yes, we do. Check out the Wedding Videography section on our website.  We’ve been filming weddings on cruise ships in Europe, Caribbean Islands, and the United States and looking forward to filming your wedding next.

DO YOU SHOOT AERIAL IMAGES AND VIDEOS?

At this stage, we don’t have any experience with aerial photography/videography to offer as a service. If you’re looking for an aerial photographer/videographer, check out our friends over at RMC AV LTD.

HOW MUCH IS THE DEPOSIT?

We usually require a 50% deposit to book me for the day with the remaining balance due 30 days prior to the wedding.

I’M READY TO BOOK, WHAT'S NEXT?!

AMAZING! I can’t WAIT to get to meet you both. I’m so thrilled you’ve chosen Ozgo Productions as your Wedding Photographer.
Contact me today to check availability and I’ll send you all the info.

DO YOU TRAVEL?

I LOVE destination weddings! I’m happy to create custom packages to fit your wedding plans so please get in touch.

CAN WE BOOK YOU FOR ONLY A FEW HOURS?

Absolutely – We have a Micro Wedding Package or feel free to reach out for a custom quote.

HOW MUCH DO YOU EDIT YOUR PHOTOS?

Great question! I’d say 70% of the way my photos look comes down to the way I edit my photos. Each photo receives basic colour correction, cropping, adjustment for lighting etc.

DO I HAVE TO GET MY ALBUMS & PRINTS FROM YOUR STUDIO?

We do offer a Wedding Album & Digital Images package if interested, but you also have the option of a Digital Wedding package, if you wish to design and print your own album.
