Questions

Pretty funny, actually! During your shoot with John Thomson Photography, my goal is to make you feel completely at ease and ensure you have a great time. Most of my clients end up laughing at my cheesy jokes—whether out of politeness or genuine amusement, I'll take it! I’ll guide you every step of the way with fun activities to keep the energy high and the shots natural. We’ll be moving around a lot because motion brings out genuine emotion. And don’t worry, I’m not just shooting with a kit lens; I’ve got a lens for every occasion, from capturing your infectious laughter to those candid, picture-perfect moments. Your only job is to show up with an open mind and keep smiling!

Most of our packages offer 'Unlimited Shooting,' meaning every usable image from your session is beautifully retouched and delivered to you. After removing duplicates, test shots, and other non-keepers, we ensure that every moment captured is polished to perfection and ready for you to cherish.

We work quickly at John Thomson Photography! Smaller shoots are typically delivered within a week, while larger projects may take up to two weeks—if that. We're committed to getting your beautifully retouched images to you as fast as possible.

At John Thomson Photography, I provide your images through an online gallery. You'll receive a link that allows you to download the photos directly to your computer, tablet, or phone. I recommend downloading and backing up your images as soon as possible. The gallery will remain accessible for 3 months. You also have full control over your print release—you’re free to print your photos wherever you like, though I’m always here to assist if you choose to print with us.

I've handled a significant number of weddings solo and am fully capable of capturing your special day on my own if needed. However, if your budget allows, I strongly recommend adding a second photographer to your package. Having an additional photographer offers numerous benefits and can enhance your overall experience. Feel free to reach out for more information!

Wanna know a secret? Almost everyone I work with feels a bit nervous at first—seriously, you’re definitely not alone! Most of us aren't supermodels, and that's perfectly okay. That’s why you hire me! It’s my job to make you feel at ease, guiding and directing you so you’re relaxed, comfortable, and confident. By the end of the shoot, I promise you’ll be having so much fun that you’ll hardly notice the camera. Hold me to it! 😉

The quick answer is no—editing is a key part of my style and trademark. However, for certain commercial projects where raw files are needed, we can arrange that. In those cases, if we discuss it beforehand and include it in the quote, it can be accommodated. 🙂

My approach to a successful family shoot is to let the kids be kids. While we aim to get a shot of everyone looking at the camera, the shoot becomes much more relaxed and fun when we allow the kids to run around, dance, spin, jump, and explore. This natural behavior will result in more genuine photos that capture their true essence at this stage of life. If you're still a bit concerned, consider bringing along a favourite toy, treat, or blanket for comfort. We’re not opposed to a little innocent bribery here—trust me, I have a daughter myself 🙂

Absolutely! I include a sample timeline in the pricing guide I send out, but since every wedding day is unique, we’ll work together to create a timeline tailored to your specific needs. Don’t worry—I’ve crafted plenty of timelines, so I’m more than happy to help ensure everything runs smoothly!

Absolutely, the sky is blue! I have a soul that craves adventure and new experiences, so I'm definitely up for it. Reach out for more details on what this could look like, and I’ll do my best to make it happen.

Of course you can! Just ask when inquiring and I'll send an online gallery your way.

I’m thrilled you connect with my work! To book with us on any of our wedding packages, a non-refundable retainer is required (or 25%) along with a signed contract to secure your date. This usually works in around £49.99 for our registry package and £149.99 for our other wedding packages. For lifestyle and other shoots, just let me know when you’re ready to move forward, and we’ll start discussing dates, locations, and other details. I’ll be in touch with you about the next steps.
