Booking and Confirmation;

How do I hold a booking?
To hold the booking a 50% deposit is required within 21 days of confirmation.

What if I need to cancel?
This deposit is 50% refundable upon cancellation if more than 7 days before the wedding, but in no part
refundable if cancelled less than 7 days before the wedding.

Will Travel be Included in the quote?
Yes, all of the travel arrangements are included in your quote. However, all of the quotes shown on the website are based in London. Please contact Karla for a quote specific to your area which will include a relevant nominal fee for travel.

What if I need to change my Wedding Day?
The change of ceremony date will be considered a cancellation, unless Karla is also available for the altered date.

What happens if the Photographer cancels?
The holding deposit will be 100% refunded in the unlikely event of Karla making the cancellation - Up to 72 hours before your ceremony.

What happens if the Photographer is sick on the day?
If Karla is unable to make your day and it is within 72 hours before your ceremony, she will provide another photographer with a similar style and the same package. Any extra expense to hire a new Photographer will be covered by Karla.

When is the remaining 50% due?
The remaining 50% will be due 1 week prior to your day - an invoice will be sent 2 weeks before when contact is made to reconfirm all details.

Our Day has a theme. Will the Photographer participate with dressing up?
Karla is more than willing to mix in with the guests and will be happy to have this as an excuse to dress up.

Before the day;

Can we meet the Photographer before?
Yes, you can. Please email Karla - info@karlagowlett.co.uk - and she will be happy to arrange a slideshow and album viewing over a coffee in London. Unfortunately, due to her schedule, it would be unlikely that a visit outside of London will be possible.

Does the Photographer visit the Venue beforehand?
Yes, Karla will make sure that she visits the Venue of your Wedding prior to the date. This enables her to be aware of the visual strengths and weaknesses of each venue. If the venue is outside of London, Karla will contact the venue for images and with any questions regarding accessibility.

Can I still contact the Photographer if I have any other questions?
Yes, Karla will be happy to answer or confirm any questions you may have to the run up to your day.

There are formal shots I would like to have - Will the photographer do these?
Karla will be happy to receive a shot list - which she will contact you about 2 weeks before - and she will give a copy to the Best Man on the day.

On the day;

Will the Photographer expect food and drink?
No, Karla will not expect food or drink at your Wedding Day. If you would like to offer Karla either of these, than she will enjoy them after her work has finished or while the sit down meal is taking place.

Will the Photographer take photos whilst guests are eating?
Karla will take candid images of your guests taking their places and enjoying each others company, plus the serving of the food. However, when the guests are actually eating, Karla will take the moment to photograph details or have a bite of a snack.

Will the Photographer have a lot of equipment?
Thankfully, Reportage Photography does not require heavy lighting or packs as the image is more about capturing a feeling and atmosphere rather than a duplicating a fashion shoot.

After the day;

When should I expect the photos?
The CD, prints and the album will be sent by 1st class recorded post and should be expected between 10-14 days after the ceremony.

How do you choose between Black and White and Colour?
Any images which Karla feels would look good in Black and White will be duplicated and altered. So you will have one image of Black and White and one of colour.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Karla and she will do her best to answer them.
