WEDDINGS
Your wedding day should be a very special event in your life, full of joy, fun and the pleasure of sharing it all with your friends and relations. You will want to look back on it in years to come, and photographs are still the best way to sit, reminisce, and recall the day.
Whether in church, at the register office, or at a civil ceremony at one of the newer venues, you want the marriage itself and the reception to go smoothly and be an enjoyable experience. You don’t want your photographer taking over for hours of your time, and directing the proceedings with seemingly endless posing and formality. I don’t do that. Shooting on digital cameras in what has become known as “reportage” style, I will join the wedding party at the point you decide, and record what happens, discretely and with a friendly manner. I won’t upset the Vicar, or the Registrar or the family!
Yes, we will assemble you a package of the traditional pictures of Bridge, Groom, family and friends, at an agreed point in the proceedings, but it won’t drag on for hours. Working with the help of my wife, Stella, and your best man and ushers, we will get that part done, and move on, to help maximise your enjoyment of a wonderful occasion.
Have a look at the sample gallery you will find via the link on this page, select the sort of package you might like to give you an idea of prices – I won’t try and twist your arm to spend more than you might wish. I am certain you won’t find comparable service and quality for much less, but you certainly can spend a lot more than is strictly necessary with some photographers!
I use top quality Nikon digital cameras, basic image enhancement is included in the price, and you will normally have your basic sets of prints within two weeks, or the end of the honeymoon, whichever comes first. With packages up to Gold level, you can choose whether to have the prints in an album, or whether to have a second set of prints instead – handy for passing round the family and friends without losing yours, and giving you a chance to select an album entirely to your own taste, as well as what reprints you might like.
A CD of the images can also be supplied for a modest extra charge if you want to source your own reprints or watch via a computer slide show, this is included free of charge in Gold and Platinum packages.
If you think I’m your man for the big occasion, please email or telephone, and we will arrange a consultation and show you some more of my favourite wedding pictures, and once booked and the deposit paid to reserve the date, we will keep in touch and finalise what YOU would like to do on the day. Hope to hear from you soon – still some dates left for the coming year!
