Frequently Asked Questions
-
We always send a couple of sneak peeks within the first couple of days after our time together. Then for adventure sessions full galleries will be delivered between 8 - 10 weeks. For Elopements full galleries will be ready within 10 - 12 weeks.
Our timeframes are slightly higher than the average photographer as we travel a lot for work and we hand edit each photo with care. Our Videos are delicately pieced together. All of this is in order to tell your story as honestly, authentically and artistically as possible - this takes time but it’ll be worth the wait!
-
Yes! Our Glencoe & Skye Adventure Session Packages include all our travel & accommodation costs however for Elopements depending on location an additional travel & accommodation fee will be added.
We are based on the Isle of Skye so wouldn’t add any fees for Skye based Elopements / Sessions but elsewhere in wider Scotland we would add a travel fee that you’ll be quoted during our initial conversations.
-
Yes! Our gallery host Pic-Time has a beautiful integrated shop where you can purchase your album and any prints!
The Fine Art Albums are really beautiful and we would highly recommend purchasing one of these.

We’ll hop on a call or two and get to know each other, chat about your plans and any questions you may have. We’ll then send you a contract and booking form for you to have a look over.
We take a 50% non-refundable booking fee upon booking and this goes towards all the work we put into your session before it happens - including emails, location scouting, equipment investment, reserving your day and so much more. We then take the remaining 50% 1 month before the session date.
We also offer payment plans - just chat to us about what would work for you and we can make arrangements that are more suited to you!
YOUR DATE IS NOT RESERVED UNTIL THE BOOKING FORM & CONTRACT ARE SIGNED & BOOKING FEE IS PAID.

There’s a high chance it will rain if your session is taking place in Scotland. So we’ll just embrace it - photos in the rain are always our favourites and it just adds to the adventure!
-
We don’t specify a number as we don’t view your story as a check box of images. Instead we send each and every image we find truly adds to the story of your day.
To give a rough idea it usually works out at roughly 50 images per hour we’re together.
-
No, we treat your photographs & video like valuable art. We would never want to give you something that isn’t the finished product.
-
No, we work super hard to bring your day back to life through your video and each artistic and creative decision made throughout the process is in order to truly encapsulate how it felt. We don’t want you to view your video as a project that can be edited but instead as a core memory. Think back to super 8 films and 35mm film.
-
No, we’re unable to include your own music choice in your video as legally we must properly licence music. We licence all our music through Musicbed - you are welcome to have a look through their available songs if you wish but we would advise against it as we wouldn’t want you knowing the music to take away from the impact of watching your video and re-living the day! Finding the perfect song / songs for your video is a huge part of our creative process so we just ask you trust us in that!
-
If for some reason or another your plans were to change I will obviously do everything I can to help you out. We take a 25% rescheduling fee in addition to the total cost, if for whatever reason we were unable to cover a new date for you we would usually hire an associate shooter who we have worked with before and they would shoot the event and we would edit. If you didn’t feel comfortable with that and / or our go to and trusted associate shooters are unavailable and you were wanting to cancel we would take a cancellation fee of 35% of the total cost. If you had already paid in full we would refund you 15%.
-
I’m so sorry you had to ask! Of course, we are here to love and welcome all! We have created a safe space and want all to feel welcome and loved by us - no matter who you love, how you love, how you dress, how you identify - you are so so welcome here!

For Adventure & Soul and Earth sessions we’d always recommend wearing something you first and foremost feel incandescently yourselves in.
In terms of matching up outfits with each other and general guidance we’d recommend looking at what the colours of the area are like and sticking to more neutral / complimentary tones. For example browns, blacks, greens & creams always look good pretty much all year round. Creams look especially good in the winter months where the ground is orange and brown (always worth having a backup of a darker colour incase its snowed) and then in summer blues or creams often look beautiful with greenery.
If you’re unsure please feel free to chat to us and we can send over some examples.
