Frequently Asked Questions

Everything couples ask us before booking.

Availability, coverage, timings, galleries, second photographers, rain plans and payment — answered plainly. If something isn't here, ask us directly and we'll add it.

How far in advance should we book?

Popular Saturdays and summer dates can fill earlier, so enquire once your date and venue are fixed.

Do you photograph weddings outside Nottingham?

Yes. Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the East Midlands are the core search area, with wider UK coverage available.

Do you pose us?

Yes, when it helps. Most moments are photographed naturally; couple portraits and family groups get clear direction.

Can we send a shot list?

A family-group list is useful. For documentary moments, a huge Pinterest shot list can make coverage more rigid, so share priorities rather than trying to script every frame.

Do you photograph Asian weddings?

Yes. We plan from your actual ceremonies and schedule because traditions and formats vary.

Do you photograph African weddings?

Yes. We ask about country, culture, faith, family structure and key traditions rather than assuming.

Can you cover a registry office wedding?

Yes. Shorter coverage can be discussed for civil and micro weddings.

Do you offer videography?

AOU Studio provides photography and videography services. Tell us if you want both so the team can quote the right coverage.

What if it rains?

Rain changes the plan, not the possibility of strong photographs. We plan indoor locations, sheltered portraits and quick outdoor windows where appropriate.
