FAQs
Absolutely! I love photographing weddings in new places and am more than happy to travel across the UK. Whether you're getting married in the countryside, by the coast, or somewhere further afield, I’d be honoured to capture it. Travel costs are always outlined clearly up front — no surprises, just beautiful photos wherever your love takes you.
Travel expenses are included for weddings held within 30 miles of the BH23 postcode. For weddings outside this area, travel expenses will be charged at £0.45 per mile.
Martin Carter Photography offers a range of wedding photography packages designed to suit various needs and budgets. All packages include high-resolution, professionally edited digital images delivered via a private online gallery.
When a package says "from £450," it means £450 is the starting price for the most basic version of that service. The final cost may increase depending on factors like the number of hours you need, travel distance, and any extras you choose—such as additional coverage, photo albums, or a second photographer. It's a flexible price that adjusts based on your specific requirements.
All of your professionally edited photos will be ready for digital download within two calendar months of your wedding day. State-of-the-art, secure hosting for your high-resolution wedding photos, providing a reliable backup for one year.
You’ll typically receive anywhere from 250 to over 1,000 edited photographs, depending on the package you choose. Smaller packages with shorter coverage times include fewer images, while full-day or premium packages deliver a much larger gallery with a broader range of moments captured.
Yes, please call for details
I offer both options—some packages include just me as the main photographer, while others come with a second photographer to ensure even more coverage and different perspectives throughout the day.
Our Sustainability Commitments
I care deeply about capturing love stories while protecting the world we live in. As a wedding photographer, I take conscious steps to make my work as sustainable as possible — from how I travel to how I deliver your images. Mindful Travel – I prioritise local weddings and car sharing where possible, and I offset unavoidable travel to help reduce my environmental impact. Digital First – Your galleries, contracts, and invoices are all handled online to cut down on paper waste. Sustainable Equipment & Practices – I invest in durable, high-quality gear built to last, and responsibly recycle or repurpose older equipment. Eco-Friendly Printing – When albums or prints are ordered, I work with suppliers who use FSC-certified papers and sustainable packaging. My goal is to document your day beautifully while doing my part to care for the planet we’re celebrating on.
