Frequently Asked Questions

What style of photography will you bring to our event?

Our preferred stye of photography is for the images and people present to breathe, "life" and true emotions rather than fake smiles or over-posed imagery that makes you look silly. We will obviously ensure that you are photographed in nice lighting, avoiding drain pipes coming out of heads and being conscious to subtly direct where needed to ensure you look at your best. However this doesn't mean enduring longer than necessary for directed photography with technically perfect images at the expense of bored individuals who can no longer find that natural smile that everyone loves. Hence your timings and preferences and dislikes will be thoroughly discussed with you prior to any event to ensure that you received that tailored service.

If we book our photography with Paul Walker Images, who will actually be photographing our event?

We do not sub contract portrait bookings or weddings to other photographers, so you can always guarantee that Paul Walker will be the lead photographer on your special day. For all but very small weddings, Paul will also accompanied by Kathryn who will also take photographs and assist the bride and groom throughout the day when needed. This will give you the assurance that you will have the photographers that you met prior to your event and the photography style seen represented in our albums and wedding galleries.

Are you a qualified member of any professional photography Associations?

Yes, Paul is a full-time professional photographer and has qualified with three photographic organisations. He holds the rare "Fellowship distinction" from the Master Photographers Association, and Associate Distinctions with both the Royal Photographic Society and the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.

Do you hold any insurance?

We have both public liability and professional indemnity insurance. This is also a mandatory requirement of being a member of the Master Photographers Association, the main photography organisation for full time, professional photographers.

Do you have any back up camera equipment in case your main camera or lighting equipment fail?

Yes, we have more than one back up, so rest assured, it would take an extraordinary clumsy day before we ask Grandpa if we can borrow his camera equipment?

We are considering a videographer, what advice would you give?

We have worked with over 25 different companies now both across Ayrshire and Scotland who have a great understanding of both disciplines. We have listed a few videographers on the links page that we respect highly for giving you a "balanced" account of your wedding day with "unique video footage" captured in addition to those mutually recognised stages of the day that look great in both stills and video. Many are members of the highly respected, Institute of Videography which is recognised as the UK-based organisation dedicated to raising the standards of video production and professionalism within the industry.

How far will you travel for any wedding?

We have no restrictions on travelling and have previously covered weddings in all reaches of the UK, and two international weddings to date.

Can you guarantee that Brown Eyed Girl, Stuck in the Middle with You, or Build me up Buttercup will not be played at our wedding?

I'm afraid not, you'll need to speak to the band.

Did you star in the movie "Fast and Furious" ?

I'm afraid not, that is a different Paul Walker who also shares the same name. You may see me in Monsters Inc. though (only joking!)
