I am from a little town in South Wales and have worked with people all my life in one way or another, being adaptable and approachable is the ethos of my photography, you want posed editorial shots? great I have a bag full of tricks to get you feeling comfortable in front of the camera. Don’t want to miss your canapes but still want epic photos? great I can work around you and your party to capture candid, real moments that don’t interrupt your day, want both?

making moments, memories

the PROCESS

Here you will find a break down of the process for booking with Mon Margaux Photography and what you can expect before your wedding day.

You can send a brief enquiry to check your date by using the enquiry form above, just follow the enquiry link and fill out your details.

You will then be offered an optional consultation call to get to know each other before making a decision.

If your date is available and you want to proceed a 20% deposit is required to secure your date and a contract will be sent to you to complete.

Enquiry and booking

I offer unlimited consultation calls for all wedding bookings with most couples having 1-2 prior to their event. Calls can be done via video calling and this time is used to understand your requirements and establish a timeline for your day.

We chat through any ‘must have’ portraits, group shots and the approach you would prefer for your event.

I will give you any guidance you may want on best times and ways to incorporate photography in to your timeline and where your ‘portrait sessions’ (if you choose this) might be best placed. I will also send you my handy ‘Wedding Guide’ full of tips for your day to be as stress free as possible when it comes to getting the best photos.

An information sheet will be sent to you so we can lock in your requirements and keep a note of your timeline.

Consultation calls and timeline set up

Following your day all your images will be backed up using a triple backup system to make sure your images are safe.

I will edit your preview photos and deliver a handful of these within a week of your event.

Your full gallery will be delivered within 6-8 weeks but this may be longer during busy seasons, you will be kept informed of your delivery timeframe throughout.

Then all that’s left is for you to sit back and enjoy your special memories together, you can share all your online photos with family and friends and download as many images as you like.

Your day

As per our agreed timeline I will arrive a little early to set up and make sure I am ready to capture your day from the moment I arrive.

If you don’t have a coordinator at your venue it’s helpful to consider nominating a ‘go-to’ person from your wedding party that I can liaise with on your day, this means you can stay as stress free as possible.

I work with all your suppliers and vendors to keep things on time and flowing as smoothly as possible, I will come and get you when the time is right for specific photos you may have requested and adapt to your day as it happens.
