My Style
I naturally gravitate to the more relaxed informal style of photography mixed with lots of detail shots, your chosen selection of family groups and as few or as many couple portraits as you’d like.
Although my couple portraits are mostly posed I try to avoid formal (looking at the camera, cheesy grin) photographs unless specifically requested. I tend to take my lead from fashion magazines and although posing couples, especially this way, can seem daunting and maybe even a little bit scary to you I work really really hard to ensure you stay relaxed and comfortable. To do this I normally work at a distance and encourage you to continue chatting with each other whilst enjoying a little ‘time-out’.
The majority of images in my Portfolio show you that posing can be fun and not stressful or uncomfortable – nearly every bride & groom you see there would admit to thinking the same as you probably are right now – “we hate getting our picture taken”, “I’m really not photogenic”, “I’ve never had a picture taken that I like”. I’m sure that every one of my couples would now tell you it wasn’t something to fear or stress over at all. You can see from the photographs – no one looks scared, uncomfortable, vexed or even bored! Every one of my couples can be photographed in a way so as to minimise those ‘bits’ you think contribute to you being “un-photogenic”. I’m a professional. I know what I’m doing and I know how to get the best from you without you feeling uncomfortable or out of your depth.
Coverage
I offer coverage from Bridal Preparations through to the evening dancing. There are special rates for reducing your coverage to finish at your Receiving Line and for removing certain included services. If you have an off-peak wedding (Mon-Wed all year or any day 1st Nov to 31st March) or are eloping then there’s a special rate for you too!
Display Options
Albums, Parent Albums, Guest Books, High Resolution (Printable) Disks, Slideshows, Thank You Cards, Canvases, Framed Wall Prints and lots lots more are all available to order before and/or after your wedding day. I also offer Guest Books, Guest Canvases and Guest Mounts all of which can be signed by your friends and family – a fantastic reminder of your day – these are available to non-wedding clients (they also make a great gift if you are attending a wedding as a guest!).
Albums are of the highest quality but priced at cost plus a small fee for my designing and handling – that’s all! I do this to encourage you to choose me for my high quality photography rather than the price of my albums.
These too are available to non-wedding clients. So if you’d like me to designed your wedding album just bring me your disk of images! I also design for birthdays, portraits, holidays etc whether I took the photographs or not (you must hold copyright or have permission to print and be able to prove this when requested). Please note that albums and books to non-clients are charged at a slightly higher rate. This covers the insurance premium whilst the album is in transit and storage at my premises (already included in client contracts).
Price
You need only pay for your photographic coverage prior to your wedding day. You can purchase an album or printable disk afterwards or add them to your contract for payment before. You choose whatever suits you & your needs best.
We also offer a Gift Registry where you can register and your friends and family can contribute toward all aspects of your wedding day photography as a gift.
Coverage starts at £500 (including Special Rate) for Peak Saturday Dates with a total Collection including album from £850 or printable disk from £700.
