Starting out with a favour for a friend, then a wedding present for my sister, I’ve gone on to experience photographing a range of weddings, from smaller civic ceremonies to those in large churches. I’ve adopted the photojournalism / fly-on-the-wall style of wedding photography, as I feel this adds a more personal touch and captures the genuine story and emotions of the entire day.
A friendly and relaxed approach provides the couple and their guests with minimal interruption to their day, and allows myself to look for those special hidden moments that would ordinarily be lost with the traditional posed style of wedding photography. Of course, should the couple require any group photographs, these can easily be incorporated. As the galleries show, these too are generally of an informal nature. (see bottom of page for links to the galleries)
I offer full-day coverage, which would typically include the following:
Morning preparations. The Ceremony. Group photographs. Drinks, chats & guests. Meal. Speeches. Evening party.
As well as the time on the day, the service includes image post-processing time after the event, and a USB memory stick (plus back-up DVD’s) containing:
- the original-sized high resolution images (for printing purposes)
- small resized 750×500 pixel versions of all images (for emailing, facebook, etc)
Joint copyright of all images applies, whereby…
- the couple are supplied with Hi-Res copies of the image files, allowing them to be free to use and print as many copies of the photographs as they desire.
- I retain the rights to use any of the images personally (on this website for example).
The cost of the packages offered are primarily based on the number of images supplied (starting at 200 images). However I am flexible to work around the couple’s requirements and budget.
A starting guide to the prices is as follows:
Full-day coverage…
Including 200 photographs: £695. Including 275 photographs: £775. Including 350 photographs: £845.
If you would prefer printed photographs, just let me know, and I am happy to go down the album route instead… although (for a similar price range to that above) this will mean significantly less images being provided than the usual digital image options. If a couple would like a complete package including both options, please ask for a quote.
Prices are subject to additional costs for travel (if outside of Greater Manchester) and accommodation if necessary. Discounts are available if I know you, or you’re a friend of a friend.
