How far ahead should you book a wedding?

Timing matters more than people think. Book too late and availability shrinks. Leave it too long and details get forgotten before the day arrives.

As a general rule, popular dates and locations get booked weeks or months ahead, particularly during busier seasons. Booking six to eight weeks out gives enough runway to plan properly without the wait dragging on. If your date is flexible, that flexibility is worth using, since it often opens up availability that a fixed date wouldn’t.

Last-minute bookings for a wedding are sometimes possible, and worth asking about directly rather than assuming the answer is no.

FAQs

A couple of quick answers.

When do we get the photos?
A preview gallery within days, the full edited gallery in around four weeks. Rush delivery is available if needed sooner.

Do you only shoot in London?
London is home, but weddings get covered across the UK. Travel beyond the M25 is arranged as part of the quote, so a countryside barn or a coastal registry office is no problem.
