FAQs

Wedding venues — questions we hear

What compliance do you handle?

Licensed venue-only imagery; no couple-identifying content used without written consent.

Do we need to dress the venue?

Full styling isn't essential, but a light dressing pack (linen, florals, table setting on one showcase table) lifts the imagery dramatically. Recommendations are supplied ahead of the shoot.

Can we schedule around live weddings?

Yes — most venue shoots run on a mid-week non-event day, or immediately before an evening event using an early call time.

Can we get raw files?

Raws aren't standard, but full-resolution TIFFs and print-ready JPGs are included for brochure use.

Which sectors do you already cover?

Recent family events work spans country-house venues in Cheshire, civic venues in Liverpool City Centre, coastal venues on the Wirral, boutique urban spaces in Manchester.
