Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a couples photoshoot cost in Newcastle?
Keepsake couples sessions are £275 for up to 45 minutes at one of my selected locations with 15 edited images of your choice. Classic is £375 for up to 1.5 hours with 25 edited images of your choice. Both offer an optional full edited gallery upgrade after viewing. Signature is £575 for up to 2 hours with the full edited gallery of 75+ beautifully edited images included.
What if we are shy and feel awkward posing?
Don’t fret if you’re a bit shy or feel awkward when it comes to posing for photos. You’re in good company! I totally get it because I’ve been there too. I’ll make every effort to ensure you’re relaxed and enjoying the photo session. I’ll offer some friendly tips on posing and create chances for you to be yourself, so we can capture those real, heartfelt moments.
What should we wear for our photoshoot?
Clothing can make or break a shoot, so it’s a good idea to choose items that complement each other. Opt for plain, muted-tone clothing in neutral or earthy colours. Stick with simple, classic, timeless outfits that won’t steal the spotlight. After booking, I’ll share a prop guide with additional tips for achieving the best photos.
What if it is raining?
Living by the beautiful North England seaside, we’re no strangers to rain and wind, which add to our unique charm! If there’s a light drizzle, let’s have a playful photoshoot. For heavy rain or strong winds, we can find a better day. We can also capture meaningful moments in your home for a special touch.
What is the best time of the day for the photoshoot?
The best time for an outdoor photo session is typically early in the morning or late in the evening, when the natural light is soft and diffuse. For in-home sessions, mid-morning is typically a good time to schedule.
Are we a good match?
Take a look around. Check out my portfolio and Instagram to see if my style feels right for you. My photography is simple and timeless: no props, no studio, just real smiles and genuine emotions. I love creating images with a film-like feel, a touch of grain, and some artistic black-and-white shots.
