YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY INVESTMENT
Wedding photography is more than just images – it’s an investment in preserving the emotions, beauty, and memories of one of life’s most important days. Long after the vows have been exchanged and the celebrations have concluded, your wedding photographs will be the lasting reminder of every precious moment and intricate detail. That’s why I’ve carefully outlined my processes and the experience I offer in the sections below. These aren’t just steps in my workflow; they represent my commitment to understanding your vision, capturing your day authentically, and ensuring a seamless, enjoyable experience from start to finish. By investing in my services, you’re choosing a tailored approach to wedding photography that values your individuality, so that every photo feels truly and unmistakably yours.
WHAT TO EXPECT
As soon as we begin working together, I am dedicated to creating the best possible experience for you as a couple, with an emphasis on quality, comfort, and a seamless process from start to finish. My goal is to bring a personal touch to every interaction, whether it’s listening carefully to your vision, suggesting creative ideas to make your moments even more magical, or adding thoughtful touches that make the journey memorable. Your comfort is paramount, and I work to minimise any stress, so you can fully enjoy the excitement of your wedding journey.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE
Ross was absolutely incredible. My husband wasn’t entirely sure he liked the idea of a pre-wedding shoot, but after spending 5 minutes with Ross, he was loving it. Put us both at ease straight away and captured the most gorgeous shots.Ross is super friendly, calm, collected and takes the most incredible photos. On the wedding day itself, he was super professional and had the best ideas for beautiful photos.Once we received the final images, everyone was blown away at how amazing they were. We’ve had so many compliments and there are so many! He also turned them around so quickly!
I feel sorry for anyone who can’t have Ross at their wedding. Thanks again for being so great.

PRIORITISING YOUR PEACE OF MIND
INSURANCE & INDEMNITY
I am fully insured and have professional indemnity and can provide evidence of this for your venue as soon as requested.
BACKUP KIT & SYSTEMS
I capture your day using professional Canon camera bodies and lenses, and use the latest range of lighting kit to make sure you and your guests are lit beautifully at all times and in all conditions. I bring with me not only backup camera lenses and kit, but also spare batteries and memory cards. I record to two memory cards simultaneously, meaning that should one card fail to function, no images or moments are lost. Following your day, your images are backed-up onto a Mac, an external hard drive and a cloud-based backup system. In short, you and your photos are in very safe hands.
WET WEATHER PLAN
One thing no-one can guarantee is perfect weather. However, on your day, I’ll bring a set of clear umbrellas, my indoor lighting kit and a creative vision that allows us to capture gorgeous images regardless of what the weather throws at us. That way you can choose to embrace the elements, or stay warm and dry, and still know you’ll have wedding photos with the wow factor.
His whole method of working with my husband and I as a couple was so reassuring. He took the time to get to know us a couple ( I would definitely recommend the pre wedding photo shoot by the way, it definitely helps) and how to capture the real essence of our relationship.
On the day, he was totally present when required and almost invisible when it came to capturing the intimate candid photos.
To top it all off, Ross is a genuinely thoughtful human who cares passionately about his art and importance of what a photographer can accomplish to make ever lasting memories of such an important life event.
Thank you Ross.

BEFORE YOUR WEDDING
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Every beautiful image begins with a strong connection. I take time to truly get to know you as a couple – your personalities, your love story, and what truly matters to you. This ensures that every image captured reflects who you are and the bond you share.
PRE-WEDDING / ENGAGEMENT SHOOT
The engagement session is an invaluable opportunity for us to get comfortable working together and to capture your personalities in a relaxed setting. This experience not only provides you with beautiful images to celebrate your engagement but also allows you to become familiar with my style, so you feel completely at ease on your wedding day.
PLANNING SESSION & PERSONAL PHOTO TIMELINE
As part of my commitment to a seamless experience, we’ll have a dedicated planning session to build a customised photo timeline for your wedding day. Every detail is mapped out, taking into account the most important moments you want captured, your group shot combinations, the venue’s unique characteristics, and any weather considerations. This timeline ensures a smooth, flexible flow, so we’re always prepared for the perfect shot.
VENUE VISIT
If your venue is new to me, I make a point to visit it beforehand. This preparation allows me to scout the best locations for beautiful compositions and to anticipate how to use lighting to make your photos exceptional.
COULDN’T HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER
My husband and I had Ross photograph our wedding and we were both absolutely delighted with him and the photos he captured.
We had an engagement shoot a few months before our day so we got to know him and used to the camera, which really helped my partner who is nervous and uncomfortable with photographs.
On the day itself, Ross was on time, calm and knew exactly what to do and the best shots to get (we did go through a list beforehand) and throughout the day I barely even noticed him, but looking back at the photos he was everywhere!
Ross is friendly, good fun, flexible, cooperative, professional and VERY good at his job. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and will recommend him to anyone that will listen!

ON THE DAY
PEACE OF MIND PACK
Not only do I arrive fully prepared with professional equipment and backup kit, plus umbrellas for less-then-perfect weather conditions, I also bring my ‘Peace of Mind’ pack. This is my bag of essential items – from plasters and paracetamol to deodorant and insoles – that you or your guests can delve into at any time to nip any little hiccups in the bud, and continue having an absolute blast.
PERSONALISED, FLEXIBLE PHOTO TIMELINE
I follow our pre-planned timeline but stay flexible to accommodate any changes in real-time, incorporating your desired images and responding to the day’s natural flow. This approach allows for a well-organised yet stress-free experience.
CURATED PORTRAITS & EFFICIENT GROUP SHOTS
My portrait sessions are crafted to highlight your best features with flattering lighting and subtle guidance, so you feel natural and look stunning. No experience in front of the camera is needed, and I have experience of working with couples with a range of confidence levels in front of the camera. We can keep things simple and maximise your comfort or get really creative. Either way, these portraits will encapsulate your energy and personality and will truly reflect your beauty.
Group photos are captured efficiently, as we work from our pre-arranged shot list, and we ensure they reflect personality and connection whilst avoiding lengthy or drawn-out sessions that impact on the flow of the day.
The majority of the day’s images are captured in a reportage style, documenting the candid, heartfelt, and humorous moments that truly reflect the joy and essence of your celebration.
ELEGANTLY CAPTURED TRADITIONS
Whatever traditions you choose to honour or invent, I capture these moments with respect and elegance, adapting to your personal style and values, so your photos are a genuine reflection of your relationship.
TRULY OUTSTANDING
From our first video call with Ross, we knew he was just the right guy to photograph our marriage ceremony and post-wedding shoot in central London. He fielded all our questions and we were quickly reassured that he understood our brief. And what a result! The creative quality and attention to detail in Ross’s pictures is second to none… our personalities shone through beautifully throughout the album (as did those of our family, including the dog!). He also picked out some of the wonderful details on the customised garments my husband added to our wedding outfits, giving them the visual magic and sparkle they deserved.
Truly outstanding, this album will be treasured for the rest of our lives. Not only is he a thoroughly lovely chap behind the lens, I would recommend Ross Willsher to any wedding couple looking for a photographer – LGBTQ+ or otherwise.
Although our ceremony was only small and intimate, the photos Ross took showed how big, bold and beautiful it was to us! We can’t thank him enough.
PETE & WILL
YOUR PRE-WEDDING PHOTOSHOOT
Your pre-wedding photoshoot isn’t just about capturing beautiful images. It is an experience that lets you connect with each other and grow comfortable with the camera. It is an opportunity to feel at ease with me as your photographer, so that on the big day, every moment feels natural and effortless.
REPORTAGE / CANDID MOMENTS
The majority of my time at your wedding will be spent documenting all of the unscripted magic that happens as you and your guests enjoy your time together. I’m always tuned in to what is happening around me, and forever in search of the next great ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ moment that paints a thousand words.
YOUR VENUE
No doubt your venue was chosen not just for its physical features, but for how you instantly felt upon arrival. I take the time to ‘set the scene’ of your wedding gallery by capturing everything that made you fall in love with your venue.
THE MORNING PREPARATIONS
On arrival at your wedding, I bring a calm presence to your wedding preparations and sensitively ‘read the room’ to ensure your wedding prep is captured in a way that adds to the excitement for what is to come but minimises any butterflies and nerves that may make an appearance.
THE DETAILS
So much time, thought and effort goes into the finer details of your wedding. Every element you have carefully selected – from the flowers to the centre pieces, the jewellery to the shoes – is photographed beautifully because, quite simply, these are the little things that speak so loudly about who you are and what you value.
THE CEREMONY
From beaming smiles to nervous giggles, the squeeze of a hand to the exchanging of rings; every moment of your ceremony is photographed in a way that allows you to relive it a thousand times, every time you view your wedding album. You’ll hear the vows, feel the elation and bask in that ‘just married’ glow over and over again.
COUPLE PORTRAITS
Your couple portrait session is designed to maxmise your comfort, so that we eradicate any stiffness and stuffiness to create images which stylishly capture the true essence of who you are. We combine your input and ideas with my creativity and inspiration to create breathtaking images with lasting impact.
THE SPEECHES
Heartfelt, hilarious, poignant or profound; speeches can evoke many wonderful feelings in you and your loved ones and I’ll be on hand to make sure every expression is captured on camera.
INDIVIDUAL PORTRAITS
Whilst your wedding day centres on your love story and the connection you have with one another, I personally believe you deserve to shine and be celebrated as individuals also. I factor in time for stunning individual portraits, to capture how incredible you look and feel on your special day.
first dance / the dance floor
There is something so epic about first dances and wedding reception dance floor shenanigans. You’ll be surprised who comes out of their shell after a few drinks and reveals their dance floor prowess. I stay long after your first dance to provide you with energy-filled photos of your loved ones letting loose to your favourite music.
TRADITIONS
I understand that for many couples, some traditions are outdated or do not resonate with your love story, whilst for others they provide structure and meaning to your occasion. Whether you choose to ignore, update or follow time-honoured traditions, I’m here to capture the moments that matter most to you.
GROUP SHOTS
Group shots with energy and personality are captured efficiently, working from our pre-arranged list. We stay in situ whilst loved ones come to us. This saves time and ensures a cohesive look to your images.
AFTER THE WEDDING
PREVIEW IMAGES WITHIN 72 HOURS
Within days of your wedding, you’ll receive a few beautiful previews to enjoy and share with friends and family – just a little something to relive the magic as you await your full gallery.
