I usually touch down in Portugal about two days before the wedding. It gives me a chance to shake off the travel fatigue, soak up some of that amazing Portuguese atmosphere, and scout out some killer locations for your photos. Portugal's got this incredible mix of old-world charm and stunning coastlines - I love finding those special spots that'll make your album pop. I typically jet off the day after your celebration, once all the wine and pastéis de nata have been enjoyed!

Yeah, there are some additional expenses, but I keep it pretty simple. For my biggest package with two photographers, it's a flat rate of £900 on top to cover flights, accommodation, car rental, and all those bits and bobs. If you go for my popular package, it's an extra £650. These prices are specifically for Portugal - if you're thinking about tying the knot somewhere further afield, just give me a shout and we can talk it through.

Just shoot me an email or give me a ring to check if your date's still open in my calendar. If it is, awesome! Now, to lock it in properly, there's a bit of paperwork. You'll need to put down a 20% deposit - can't give that back I'm afraid, but it means I'm all yours for that day. Then there's just a quick contract to sign online. Nothing too fancy, just the usual stuff to make sure we're on the same page. I'll need the travel expenses paid about seven months before the wedding so I can sort out flights and accommodation. The remaining balance is due a month before your ceremony under the Portuguese sun!

If you've seen my photos and love 'em, you know what you'll get. But hey, don't just take my word for it - have a look at some local Portuguese photographers too. It's your big day, after all. Go with whoever clicks with you, whether that's me or someone who knows all the hidden spots in Portugal. The most important thing is that you're over the moon with your photos. Plus, if you've fallen for my portfolio, you know exactly what you're getting. That said, definitely check out some local talent too. At the end of the day, it's your celebration, and you need to go with whoever really gets your vision, whether that's me or a photographer based in Portugal.
