Weddings

I seek to tell the story of your wedding in an unobtrusive, “reportage” style as much as possible but I am happy shooting a selection of formal shots if required.

At present, I offer a single full day package but I am happy to tailor it to suit your requirements.

Before the big day

Getting to know my clients is vital to me and I want you to be as relaxed as possible on your big day without having to worry about me.

Therefore I will always try to meet informally with you in advance of your wedding to discuss my approach and what is involved in your package.

Full Day Package

I aim to cover the bride getting ready before the ceremony; the groom, his best man and his ushers before the ceremony (depending on time and geography); the bride’s arrival at the ceremony; the ceremony; the reception, including the guests; the speeches, if required; the first dance, if required.

After the wedding

Many wedding photographers bombard their clients with thousands of photographs of their wedding, which have undergone the minimal amount of post-processing and are, in essence, “straight off camera”. To me, this is both lazy and uninspiring. Nothing could be further from my philosophy.

Recently married myself and a guest at three other weddings in 2009, I know from recent experience the burden of having to choose from thousands of images, many of which are so similar to each other that this process becomes more irritating and meaningless than enjoyable.

Receiving your wedding photos should be a delight, not a burden, and all the hard work should have been done for you.

I want my clients’ experience to be as easy as possible, which is why I prefer to make the selections that tell the story and meet with our shared understanding and vision of your big day. What you end up with is a smaller selection of high quality, meaningful images.

I will carefully select the best 100-150 images and process them in colour and black and white for inclusion in the final DVD and selection of prints.

Printed products, such as albums and prints, are not part of my introductory offer but I am happy to arrange this for you as additional service following your wedding.

A word about image production

I have a great deal of experience in advanced processing and retouching of digital images, therefore am confident that you will be happy with the products you receive. Please remember that every photographer is different and in producing your images I am also expressing my own artistic style as a photographer, therefore your final product may differ from the style of images you have seen elsewhere. Please check out my galleries for examples of the type of images I have produced in the past. Remember that it is my goal to tell your story in the best way I possibly can and to make everyone look as good as possible!
