Thank you for considering me as your photographer for your engagement / mini reception in Glasgow on the 14th of April.


I would normally pull this quotation together after a call with you to discuss your plans and exactly what you’re looking for, but I understand that’s not always possible. I’ve therefore put together what I think you’re looking for, but please feel free to come back to me if you’d like to request any changes to your package.


I’m excited about the opportunity to capture your special event exactly the way you envision it.


I’m going to make a few assumptions based on your initial message:

  • You will be hosting an engagement party, with speeches as well, which is why you described it as a mini reception.
  • You’re looking for family and group photos from 18:30, so I would arrive and be ready to start at 18:00.
  • The party will continue until 23:00, but you would like me to finish at 22:00.
  • Other than the family group photos and perhaps some couple photos (if you have a suitable location), you’re happy with my candid, photojournalistic style, focusing on natural, unposed moments of you and your guests.


The full breakdown of what’s included in the package is listed at the bottom of this page. I've included some of the more popular package add-ons at the bottom of the page. There is more information about me here and you can read more about my approach to photography here.


I’d love to hear your thoughts when you’ve had a chance to look everything over. And just as I say to all my couples, there’s absolutely no pressure to book. If you decide I’m the right fit, just let me know and we can secure your date. And if you choose someone else, that’s completely fine too. The most important thing is that you do what feels right for you both.

Common FAQ

What deposit do I pay?

A non-refundable deposit of £200 is payable to secure the date.

When is the final payment due?

Your final balance is due 30 days before your event. I also offer the opportunity to pay in instalments up to this date if it helps. I accept BACS or PayPal (3% fee applies) payment.

How do we book?

Drop me an email or give me a call to discuss any questions you may have or changes you want to your tailored packages. When you are ready to book I will send you a contract to review.

How can we ensure you don't lose our photos?

Don’t worry, I’ve got this. I shoot with professional cameras that each have dual memory cards, so every photo is backed up instantly. Plus, I always keep a third camera in the bag just in case. After your event, your photographs are saved to a secure cloud system and backed up on two separate solid-state drives (one stored safely in a fireproof case). I take every reasonable step I can to safeguard your memories, so even in the rarest of technical hiccups, your photos should be safe.

Are the photos ours?

Of course. You’ll get high-resolution, watermark-free digital photographs in jpeg format ready for printing, sharing, and downloading as often as you like. They’re all yours to enjoy.
