A dvd of high resolution files, with each image from your album in both colour and b/w can be purchased at the same time as the package for £400 This reduces to £250 after 12 months have elapsed since the wedding date. The dvd comes with a licence to use allowing you to print as many images as you wish from these files.
DO WE NEED TO MEET BEFORE BOOKING?
I am happy to arrange a meeting but it isn't a requirement for me. I find that I only actually meet about 50% of my wedding clients before the wedding day, it is of course essential if you wish me to do a pre wedding shoot.
WE WOULD LIKE TO BOOK, WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?
Just drop me an email or phone to check my availability for the date of your wedding. If this date is still free I will send you the booking form and info sheet to complete. A non-refundable booking fee of £300.00 paid by cheque, sent with these completed forms secures the date. This is then deducted from the total price, with the balance due 28 days prior to the wedding date.
WHAT IF WE HAVE AN IMAGE WE REALLY LIKE IN OUR ALBUM BUT IT IS IN B/W AND WE WOULD LIKE IT IN COLOUR?
All images are shot digitally using high resolution professional digital cameras ( Nikon D3 and D2Xs cameras - the best there is). This allows me to achive colour versions and Black & White shots, so a version of each image can be made. This is a major advantage that digital has over film.
HOW QUICKLY DO WE HAVE TO ORGANISE OUR PRINT ORDER?
I aim to keep all the images archived for at least ten years.
DO WE CHOOSE WHICH IMAGES GO INTO OUR ALBUM?
I could say that all I shoot on the day goes into the album however part of the creative process is editing. Not only editing out shots of people blinking, duplicates, etc but also tightly editing to what tells the story of the day best. There is virtually no limit to the number of images I will capture - in reportage, if you don't shoot you don't get! Digital is liberating in that I no longer have to continually watch the number of rolls of film being shot - and an escalating budget -so I can instead fully concentrate upon capturing images.
CAN YOU PHOTOGRAPH THE CEREMONY?
This is my favourite bit of the day to photograph. Whether I can photograph your own ceremony really depends upon the permission of those officiating the event - and this varies widely. From experience there are usually only problems with Registrars and C of E churches - never had any problems with other religions where photography is often encouraged.
Registrars can often be the biggest stumbling block. Often it seems to be a lottery with regard to the individual registrar ( I even had one tell me minutes before the ceremony was to due to start that the groom had asked for no photographs during the ceremony - no such conversation had taken place! The groom , a keen photographer himself was not impressed! )
("Some officials seem to forget it is not their day!" quoting a photo friendly registrar!)
When discussing this subject with your registrar/vicar/priest I would emphasise to them that my photography is discreet with NO flash. - perhaps invite them to view this website?
