~Information~

A wedding day involves months, even years of planning. But it’s worth remembering that once everyone has gone home,
the venue is organising the next wedding, the cake’s been eaten and the  drink’s stopped flowing,
the flowers have died,  your dress has been boxed up and stored and the honeymoon is a distant memory –
your wedding photographs will be all that is left to evoke those special memories.

There are few more important days in your life than the day you get married. You invest a lot of time and money into this day that you have been planning for months or perhaps even years so choosing your Lincolnshire  wedding photographer is  one of the most important decisions you will make in the run up to your special day.

So where do you start? The websites all look glossy, the photos all look lovely.  But for some couples it can all be a bit intimidating – not to say complicated and expensive – too many decisions to make on top of everything else. What package, what album …… the list goes on. And then … what if you choose a  photographer who takes over the day (we all know it can happen!) and that’s the bit all the guests remember!

There is another way …….I make it very simple .  Relaxed, informal, spontaneous, I won’t keep you or your guests hanging around (it is after all  your wedding day and not a fashion shoot!)  I will however capture the essence of the whole wedding with  the  highest  quality images but without being obtrusive - I simply blend in with your guests.  This means the minimum of intervention from me, resulting in the minimum disruption to the story and events of your special day. I will ensure you get a mix of   beautiful candid, story telling photographs, contemporary and reportage images, in colour and black and white, as well as some formal wedding photographs (taken in a time sensitive and efficient way!) I also fully realise that it is your day, not mine. I’m not there to build my portfolio, or get competition entries – I am there to solely work for you. Albums don’t have to be chosen until after the wedding when you have more time.  Most of the big decisions can be made after the wedding – once you have seen your photos.  I won’t pressurise you to choose a package months and months before the wedding – we can leave that until closer the time – if you want.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY

A brand new concept which no other photographer is offering.  Try me before you commit. I will give every couple who comes to discuss their wedding a complimentary engagement photo shoot - FREE OF CHARGE.  That way you can experience yourself my photography style before you make a decision.  All photos will be put on a password controlled website for you to show your friends and family so they can buy if they want but if you decide to go ahead and book they will be yours to keep.

PRICING

Every photographer is different and basing a decision on price alone is very difficult.  We all offer something different . I have tried to keep my pricing as simple as possible.  Please note that every collection comes with, as standard the following:

• All the images from your day on a professionally created DVD slideshow presentation.  This is copyright free allowing you make extra copies for family and friends.
• No specific limit to the number of images taken on your wedding day, as this varies depending on the coverage you have chosen and numerous other factors.
• Traditional and contemporary wedding photography to suit you.
• A mixture of colour, black and white and sepia images to your requirements
• Travel within a reasonable distance of our base in Sleaford, Lincs .  Weddings further afield may incur an additional cost for travel which we will agree with you beforehand.
• All editing, colour correction and basic airbrushing of your images.  If you spill champagne on your dress - don’t panic! I can airbrush it or any other undesirable object out (within reason!!) I spend a week pouring my heart and soul into your wedding day images.
• Your own password controlled website so that guests can view and order photos online

Balance of your wedding photography payment payable only when you have seen your photos – not 6 weeks before – how fair is that?

Prices  start from £895. Please contact me with your particular requirements and I will send you a full price list.

Discount options are available on these prices for mid-week weddings Monday-Thursday (except bank holidays) and small registry office weddings

Album Upgrades, DVD Options, Frames, Parent Books etc can all be ordered.

Please note I am now getting bookings for 2014 so don’t leave it too long if you like what you see

The images that I create are fully appreciated in print. I encourage you to visit me  to take a look through the latest albums.

Price Matching

Trying to compare one photographer against another based purely on price is always going to be difficult, and I am always interested to hear what has been offered elsewhere. However,  those cheaper than myself are usually so for a reason. Photographers vary greatly,  from the equipment used, the way in which your  images are supplied, to who supplies your album, the quality of your album,  to how much experience they have, whether they have insurance, how much training they have had to cope with difficult situations – the list goes on.  Based on customer feedback I consider my prices to be very competitive.

Why not consider adding Gift Vouchers to your wedding gift list?  Guests can contact me directly and purchase gift vouchers in any denomination.  The gift vouchers can be used to purchase your wedding album, parent albums, or even canvas or paper prints.  (Gift Vouchers cannot be applied towards the original wedding package price)

A non refundable booking fee of £200 at the time of booking will guarantee the fee is fixed at the level quoted even though the published price may have increased by the time your wedding takes place.  A booking form will need to be completed with the basic details, and we will sit down together a couple of weeks before the wedding to talk about your wish list and all the other details to ensure your day flows smoothly.

I am a fully qualified Licentiate member  of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (LSWPP).  You are therefore assured that your wedding photography is in safe hands, and that your wedding day images will tell the story of your day, bringing those wonderful memories flooding back for many years to come.
