Lots of wedding detail, you may want to take a seat & relax a little...

You're possibly wondering how a 'typical wedding' progresses, from enquiry to completion, read on.

I invest between 35-50 hours into weddings - meetings, admin, your wedding itself & the majority in processing of your images & designing your wedding album or book. The photography on your wedding day itself is the fun & creative element for me.

The enquiry, most bookings happen 24-12 months ahead. An email or call to check my availability & then we usually meet to discuss your wedding plans & to view presentation options & photos.

I offer a range of presentation options from elegant & luxurious wedding albums from world leading suppliers to quality wedding books or just the digital images; the choice is all yours. No need to decide now; you can finalise your choices 8 weeks prior to your wedding. That way you'll be able to view any new presentation options & albums that are now available to you.

A small deposit - £100 - secures your wedding day, just for you. I only take one wedding booking per day & also limit the number of assignments per week & month. August & Bank Holidays fill up the quickest. I do this so I can keep to schedules & deadlines also keep the quality high.

Weddings may all have a ceremony however every couple have their own ideas, plans & style. Its the personalities of you & your guests that will make your wedding day photos come to life.

I do much prior planning to ensure I'm prepared for your wedding. It is important to me that it goes smoothly; we'll have discussed your details & plans which means on the day itself I can focus on being creative & capturing some super photographs of your wedding.

What about the wedding photography on the day itself:

Most weddings start with your bridal preparations. I usually arrive 2-3 hours prior to the ceremony start time. Which gives enough time for detail & reportage style wedding photographs.

Your wedding should be about you & your celebrations. Moments & events of your wedding day captured naturally & sympathetically as they happen for real. I can photograph your day entirely like this without interruption, not a problem...

However, the majority of couples ask me to mix the natural & candid: watching & anticipating, with a few requested group photos & some relaxed couple photos too, which is all fine.

We'll go for a little wander around your chosen wedding venue. I'll give you space to be together, relax & laugh, catch your breath, maybe a few gentle poses, before its back to your guests.

Couples often want something a little more creative & with just a little time - I'll do the prep work as you enjoy yourselves - we can create an impact image for you to hang in a big frame in your home.

While you're on your honeymoon I'm designing your proof wedding album & processing your images.

Within 4 weeks you'll receive your proof wedding album, proof wedding images. Identify changes you want to make; I'll then send you an updated proof wedding album for you to consider.

You have another chance to finalise any options - extra pages, choice of covers etc.

Once you've given the OK to your proof wedding album, I send it to the print lab.

I'll upload, & send you the link to, your full - print resolution - digital images, no watermarks on these, they are the same quality I use in your wedding album & you can share them with family & friends. You & they can use them, usually around 500 from a full day, for personal use.

Personal use? Think of it like Music copyright, though I'm fine with you sharing, editing & printing - as you like - though not for commercial use. You'll get web-sized copies, like on my website that you can share with suppliers - If - you want to. They're also sized & ready for social media.

Wedding albums are regularly printed & delivered within 4 weeks of you giving the OK - so often, couples have their fabulous wedding album, in their hands within 8 weeks of their wedding.

When you're super satisfied & over the moon with your wedding photos & album, I'd love a review, preferably on my Google page, though I'm fine wherever you share your appreciation.

Give me a call or email to check availability and we can arrange to meet to discuss your wedding plans.
