Wedding Photography FAQ’s

Yes you do - the Mae Photography package includes all of your final images presented to you on a USB stick with the photos in full resolution. You'll also receive a highlights showreel; a short video with some of the best moments from your day ready to view on your device any time.
Though it's not essential, we do recommend that every couple considers having an album made - we create beautiful wedding albums bound into a unique hardback photobook from just £200.
-
We have worked at many of the popular wedding venues in Colchester, and as you can see from our Portfolio, we've experienced a wide variety of weddings too.
It's not essential that we have previous experience at your specific venue. We'll research your venue, arrive early to scout the location (which gives us time to prepare a plan of action based on the weather/light we have available that day), and we'll be in contact with the venue managers too who will know all the best spots.
-
It can take up to 6 weeks to receive your final gallery. After your wedding, each image is individually colour corrected and quality checked to ensure our signature bright and natural style is consistent throughout your entire collection.
If you'd like to see them sooner; opt for our Priority Gallery Delivery to receive them as soon as 2-3 weeks after your wedding.
-
Our approach is relaxed. Our style is natural and bright to reflect the joyful celebration of a wedding.
There are many styles of photography; you'll know the photographer that's right for you once you've seen their portfolio and got to know them a little better.
