Frequently Asked Questions
I have compiled a list of frequently asked questions for your convenience. If you have any other questions, then please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Iβll be honest with you β Iβm not keen on having my pictures taken! So, you have a friend in me as I totally understand. If nerves are high, I highly recommend an engagement (pre-wedding) shoot as a practice run before your wedding day. Weβll get to meet each other personally, break the ice, chat more about your wedding and have a giggle. Weβll just go somewhere and have fun. The pre-wedding shoot will serve as a great memory before you got married, but you can also use the images for you wedding invitations etc.
Obviously, Iβve worked with many couples without the practice run. On your wedding day, your adrenaline will be so high, you might have had a couple of drinks and I promise weβll have a good laugh, so youβll not even notice that Iβve taken some pictures! As almost all the wedding photography I take (99%) isnβt posed anyway, youβll have nothing to worry about!
-
Most of my couples enquire between three to eighteen months ahead of their wedding day. I can book up to 24 months ahead if needed.
-
Typically, I arrange a video chat or personal meeting if you are local first to talk more about your plans, dreams and wishes. If youβd like to go ahead, Iβll probably faint with an excitement first and then Iβll send you an invoice, contract, and a very short form for your contact details. Your date is booked and secured once the deposit is paid and the contract is signed. The deposit is Β£300 and the remaining balance is payable one month before the wedding day.
-
It really depends on the coverage, time of the year, venue, and many other factors. Once I know more about your wedding day plans, I can estimate for you. However, you can expect something between 400 to 700 images from a full day wedding.
-
I always aim to get sneak peek previews back to you within a couple of days. Your full gallery can take up to eight weeks in peak wedding season. Iβll keep you updated!
-
Photos are delivered via an online, password secured beautiful gallery. You will be able to download all images in the gallery in web size and high resolution.
-
Iβm Cheshire based, and I mainly cover North West of England and travel is included within 1.5-hour drive (or about 50miles) from Wilmslow, UK. However, Iβm happy to travel if youβd like me at your wedding.
-
No, if you donβt want to, although a meal is always appreciated. If you donβt, please just let me know so I can plan one myself.
-
If, due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to shoot your wedding day, I will arrange an experienced photographer with a similar style to cover your day so that I can edit it. In the rare instance that this wasnβt possible, I would refund your money in full. However, I would let you know about this as far in advance as possible.
-
Respecting your privacy is my utmost priority, and I don't share every wedding. I allow each couple to decide whether they want their photos shared publicly. Iβd love to showcase you and your images, but only if youβre happy with it. If not, that's totally fine!

Exceeded our expectations
βMy husband and I do not like having our photos taken and had never had any professional photos taken. Sasha exceeded our expectations and has provided so many photos that we are proud to display and want to show off! Sasha used a mix of posed and natural, documentary style photos to capture many different aspects of the day. Sasha's enthusiasm on the day was infectious and you can see that she has a genuine passion for capturing the joy and happiness of the day - which she did tenfold. Our guests were completely enamoured with her and really embraced her photo suggestions. You will not be disappointed with her work!β
