Frequently Asked Questions

Everything couples ask before booking with confidence.

Helpful Answers Before You Book

How far in advance should I book?

I recommend booking as early as possible — ideally 9–18 months in advance for weddings, as dates fill up quickly, especially for peak season (May–September). For family and portrait sessions, 4–8 weeks notice is usually enough.

Do you travel outside Oxford?

Absolutely. I regularly photograph weddings and sessions across London, the Cotswolds, and the wider UK. Travel within 30 miles of Oxford is included; beyond that a small travel fee may apply. Destination weddings abroad are also welcome — just get in touch.

How many photos will I receive?

Wedding packages typically include 400–700+ fully edited images depending on coverage. Portrait and family sessions deliver 50–120 images. You'll receive every strong shot — I never artificially limit the gallery.

How long until I receive my photos?

Portrait and family sessions are delivered within 2–3 weeks. Wedding galleries are typically ready within 6–8 weeks. You'll receive a sneak peek of 10–15 images within 48–72 hours after your session or wedding day.

What happens if it rains on my wedding day?

Rain makes for some of the most atmospheric and romantic images! I come fully prepared with lighting equipment and know how to work with any conditions. We can also adapt the timeline if needed. A little weather never stopped a beautiful story.

Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding shoots?

Yes — and I highly recommend them. It's a relaxed, fun way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day, and gives you beautiful images to use for save-the-dates or at your venue. Ask me about adding one to your package.

How do I receive my photos?

Your finished gallery is delivered via a private online gallery where you can view, download full-resolution images, and share with family and friends. The gallery stays live for 60 days, with the option to extend.

Can I order prints or albums?

Yes. I offer professional print products and bespoke lay-flat albums through my studio. Album options start from £100 and make a stunning heirloom. Prints can be ordered directly from your gallery or I can advise on wall art options.

Will you be the photographer on the day?

Always. I never send a replacement photographer. When you book with Aneliza Photography, you get me — the person you met, whose style you loved, who knows your story.

What is your payment and cancellation policy?

A non-refundable booking fee of 25% secures your date. The remaining balance is due 4 weeks before your event. In the unlikely event you need to cancel, the booking fee is retained; if I am unable to fulfil the booking I will refund all payments in full.
