What makes you different from other wedding photographers?
My focus on the day is to observe and document the relationships between you and your loved ones.
My discreet way of working, quiet and diplomatic approach honed during twenty years of wedding experience means results in a unique vision of your wedding celebrations.
You’ll receive a narrative of story telling images that are emotional, tender, funny, happy, warm and genuine. Your photographs will be the single best investment you make for your wedding day.
My aim is that in many decades time, your photographs will make you smile, laugh and remember.
Your photographs will display the relationships between close friends, loved family members and the special people in your life who have chosen to be with you on the wedding day.
Will your approach work for us?
If your partner, family and friends are the most important part of your day and if you will cherish images that show the relationships between you all then yes, I would be delighted to tell you more about what I can do for you.
If you are interested in extended fashion style shoots, hundreds of detail shots or ‘wacky’ wedding photographs with ‘special effects’ then I’m probably not the photographer for you. No smoke bombs!
How much is travel?
No charge for weddings within an hour and half (or thereabouts) from the studio in Reading, Berkshire. More than three hours from Reading might incur accommodation and meals charged £100 per night. Overseas weddings require at least two nights stay. London wedding usually require a £100 parking/train/taxi allowance but please check first.
Flights, accommodation and travel charged at cost for overseas weddings, subject to confirmation of availability.
Any VAT?
Nope.
Do you photograph on your own?
Yes, my low key approach, experienced eye and judgement at telling the story of your day can’t be compromised by the presence of assistants, lights and other distractions. It doesn’t work with an entourage.
When will our photographs be ready?
For most weddings, 3-4 weeks after the celebration.
How do we book you?
Get in touch. We can then organise a meeting. A simple form and a wedding booking fee of £500 secures your date in my diary.
The balance is due two weeks before the wedding. Cards, cheque or bank transfer are all fine.
