WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

“…Soulmate – the person destiny has chosen for us, our missing piece, a connection of minds and an unconditional, effortless, never ending love…”

I love a wedding…! They are all filled with so much anticipation, excitement, love and often some crazy dancing….!  I have been married for 21 years and remember all these emotions like it was yesterday. I understand the whole process from the painstaking time it takes to find that “special” dress, research the perfect venues, finalise the guest list, book the church, coordinate the colours all the way down to the finer details.  It is a labour of love and a unique day to you both personalising it all with your own style creating a day to remember.   

I aim to capture all these special elements of your big day that you have invested so much time in organising as well as freezing little stills of real emotion throughout the day.  Photographing a wedding is always an honour and I feel so privileged to be able to document the whole experience – not only for the bride and groom but also for the families too. It is the one time in your life you have all your close friends and family around you for such an amazing occasion.

I am very passionate about photography and regard it as an investment for you and your family to look back on over the years but also for your children and future generations to have something so special preserved for them to also enjoy.

MY APROACH TO WEDDINGS

…” I don’t believe in magic,” the young man said.  The old man replied, “you will when you see her…”

 

I have a fine art approach to photography and my style is contemporary, relaxed and informal.  My aim is to capture the day as it unfolds from bridal prep to first dance including all the little intimate moments in between which together with some relaxed, romantic couple shots (which gives you time to catch your breath and to actually have a moment with each other as husband and wife in amongst all the excitement) document the full story of your beautiful day in a candid, unobtrusive way. I also tend to not photograph many groups to allow you more time to enjoy the day with your guests.

I have been lucky enough to shoot weddings across the UK plus destination weddings in Ravello on the Amalfi coast in Italy, Aix-en-Provence in the South of France & The Algarve in Portugal.

HEIRLOOM ALBUMS

“…photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still…” 

I offer beautiful personally designed, fine art albums in 3 sizes to hold and preserve your amazing memories of your special day

YOUR QUESTIONS

How does booking work?

After the initial contact we will arrange a telephone or zoom chat to run through your wedding day – this give me a chance to also learn a bit more about you both as a couple, how you met, the proposal etc and I will be able to explain in more detail how I work. If you decide to go ahead with the booking I will send you a confirmation letter, plus a contract to sign and return along with a detailed contact sheet which will help me on the day to deliver all the images you are after. I will then ask for a non-refundable deposit of £250 to secure the date with full and final payment due 14 days prior to your wedding date. After the wedding I will then edit all the images in my signature style, and you will be given access to a password protected gallery which you can share with your friends and family. All images will then be sent to you to keep with full copyright.

Do you provide a contract for weddings?

Yes, I always send a contract plus a detail contact sheet for yourselves, suppliers, timings, important people, specific group shots required

Do we need to pay a deposit for weddings

Yes, I ask for a £250 non refundable deposit to secure the date in my diary and the balance to be paid 14 prior to your big day

Do you have insurance

Yes, I have insurance and public liability insurance

How far will you travel?

Although I am based in Holyport, near Windsor in Berkshire, I love to travel and would happily discuss locations either in the UK or destination wedding.  Travel within 20 miles is covered then standard 45p p/m thereafter. For weddings over 1.5 hours distance from Holyport I will need 2 x nights accommodation plus basic living expenses for food and drink.  Destination weddings will also require air fair, 2 nights accommodation plus basic living expenses

Travel expenses

Travel expenses include accommodation (one night before the wedding and the night of the wedding) plus, airport parking, airport transfers or car hire & general living expenses for food/drink. For destination weddings this is roughly £800

What if the photographer is ill and unable to shoot on the day

In this very rare incident, I have a pool of photographers that I can call on to assist in my absence that are all highly recommended and shoot in a similar style

Do we need to provide a meal for you?

Yes, it is standard to provide a meal although I will be sitting away from the bridal party with the other suppliers

Do you work with other photographers

I often work with other photographers and would highly recommend booking a second shooter if you have a wedding party of over 100 guests.  This will provide you with more images of your special day and from two different view points – it is really worth the investment 

When will my images be ready?

Gallery ready within 4 weeks after you say “I do”

Do you offer any products

I offer bespoke, hand bound, layflat, fine art albums printed onto archival paper which will preserve your images for a lifetime.  These are printed in 3 sizes with a choice of leather or fabric covers as well as smaller parent albums to give as gifts.  I also offer beautiful framed fine art prints in either a single or multi frame to display and showcase your amazing day.
