FAQs

How much do you charge?

As all weddings are different, I'm really happy to now offer tailored quotes for each client which is very transparent.

There's no obligation at all, so please drop me a line to enquire: richmondpictures@gmail.com or Whatsapp/ call on 0787795037.

Does that mean you don't offer packages?

I photograph such a range of weddings, and each requires a different approach in terms of time, equipment and logistics. It feels fairer to my clients and a more personal service too.

I do also have packages if you'd prefer that approach - and if your wedding fits a package I'll suggest one to you.

Do you take group shots?

Always - unless you ask us not to. I suggest keeping a list of group shots compact to keep the time spent doing these to a minimum, but contrary to some people's initial perception, I see these as some of the most valuable pictures in years to come. Who doesn't love looking back at their families' outfits and haircuts from the 90s! Family members also really value these photographs.

Do you have back up kit?

Absolutely. Back up cameras, flashes, lenses, and if you book two of us, a backup human! I take every booking very seriously, so I always arrive well prepared and with everything we need, x2.

Is it always Karina who shoots?

I am the main photographer at Richmond Pictures. If I'm unavailable, I'll suggest another of my associate photographers at the time of booking and send through their portfolio for you to decide what you think.

Anyone I recommend is known personally to me and I've worked with them many times before. They're amazing photographers, lovely people, and always look smart too! (These things matter IMHO).

Who is your 2nd shooter?

When a second photographer is needed, I don't work with assistants or trainees - I work with another trusted freelance wedding photographer in the team. We then work together. I have a small trusted team of associate photographers.

Can you provide video or wedding film? I can make recoomendations to trusted video and film suppliers.

Do you do prints and albums?

Yes - we have a beautiful, hand-picked set of print options available, and implore you to get your pictures printed in one way or the other! This year's USB will be next decade's floppy disc. Prints in a box are good - even better, allow me to design you a beautiful album or book that's made by the best album makers worldwide (no exaggeration - they're perfection in a book!).

Do you shoot destination weddings?

We have been lucky to photograph some beautiful destination weddings in Spain, France and Switzerland. Whilst I don't concentrate on destination weddings, please ask - I'm likely to get excited and say I Do!

Are you insured?

Absolutely - I have Public Liability Insurance and my equipment covered.

Do you charge VAT?

There's no extra for VAT, equipment or travel within 2 hrs of my home address.

How long will it take to get my pictures?

I deliver a small selection of teaser images within a week. It's important to me to deliver your pictures as soon as I am able, and I aim for 4 weeks, with an outside time of 6 weeks at peak times.
