FAQs

Photographic style.
Our style is essentially reportage or photojournalistic – a fancy way of saying that for most of the day we try to remain as unobtrusive as possible, hovering in the background, capturing those moments of your wedding that portray the real essence of the occasion. After the ceremony we will also spend time with you both to ensure that we capture some beautiful images of the two of you that you can treasure for years to come. We will discuss the sort of shots you prefer before your wedding and coverage can be tailored according to taste.


Pricing.
For weddings during peak season (April to September inclusive) we charge £1700. Weddings outside of these months are charged at £1500. This fee includes coverage by both John and Phil from bridal preparations to your first dance, all edited images on disc (in both high resolution, print-ready format and low resolution web format), a DVD or Blu-ray slideshow with your choice of music and audio overlaid from your vows and speeches. Dedicated online galleries where guests will be able to view your still images and slideshow will also be provided. Additional discounts for midweek and short-coverage weddings are also available. Please see the Pricing page for more details.


Making a booking.
In order to secure a booking, a non-refundable booking fee of £250 is required. The remaining balance is due 6 weeks before the wedding day.


Turnaround time.
We aim to complete the processing of your images within 3 weeks of your wedding (although this may be longer during the peak wedding season).


Viewing your pictures.
Once we have finished processing all your images and have created your slideshow we love couples to come back to the studio for a relaxing evening with a few glasses of wine to view their slideshow in super-quality Blu-ray as we feel this gives the best possible first viewing experience. Following this, guests will be able to see both your pictures and slideshow via dedicated online galleries. Reprints can be purchased directly from the website to save you the hassle of having to organise print orders.


Wedding albums.
We aim to be as flexible as possible and do not insist that clients have to purchase an album to make a booking but to make the most of your images we offer a range of beautiful handmade albums from Jorgensen of Australia, one of the premier album manufacturers in the world. We also supply a range of photobooks in varying styles and sizes. 

The choice of album style and size can be made either at the time of booking or following your wedding and we will then take your favourite images and produce a draft design which will be sent to you for approval. Album prices start at £99.


Additional products.
In addition to albums, we can supply a wide variety of other products such as acrylic blocks, canvas wraps and framed prints. If you have any specific requirements or would just like to know what’s available please let us know.


How long are images kept?
All client images are kept for 12 months. Additional product orders can be placed at any time during this period.


Paying us a visit.
Before taking a wedding booking we normally like to meet prospective clients on a no-obligation basis at the studio. This gives you the opportunity to meet us, discuss the sort of coverage that you’d like and to see the quality of work and the sort of albums that we offer. If you subsequently choose to book with us, the next contact with you will be approximately 6-8 weeks before your wedding to run through timings and locations in detail and to prepare a list of any group shots that you may require. You are of course welcome to contact us at any time in the intervening period if there’s anything you wish to discuss or want clarified.


Printers.
We use one of the top professional printing laboratories in the country. Only the best quality paper, ink and printers are used and all images are guaranteed not to fade over time unlike those produced by high street printers and some cheaper printing houses.


Insurance.
We have both third party liability and professional indemnity insurance. Further details can be provided on request.
