WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY & FILM

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Before the day: We'd love to chat to you before you book us, it's hugely important that you get on with and kinda like your photographer/videographer as they'll be around most of the day, so a natter about everything is a good place to start. We're happy with emails, video calls or old fashioned telephone, or if you're nearby, let's grab a cuppa/cake/glass of wine/swift half. From the start, we promise happy, down to earth, cheese free communication. We want to offer you as much pre wedding support as you'd like and we want to know lots about your plans so that nothing is overlooked on the day. The more we know, the more prepared we can be. The more you speak to us, the more relaxed you'll be around us on the day too, which might just show in your photos/footage.

​

We'd definitely love to chat to you a week or two before the day too if you've got the time. We're here for as many other chats in the interim as you'd like too. We're not wedding planners but you're also very welcome to pick our brains and run stuff by us. We have a good idea of what can work and what might not in terms of logistics and timings etc. Feel free to use us as a resource, or not. 

On the day: For full day coverage we usually arrive midway through the preparations so that we can cover most aspects. If you've booked a second camera person we can be in two places so can capture a little bit of the prep time with both of you, meaning you can share this part of the day with each other afterwards. We tend to discreetly dip in and out so won't be pointing a lens in your direction for the entire morning. We also use this time to get some shots of the details (clothes, rings, accessories etc, and to capture the general buzz.

​

This is a brilliant part of the day with some of your favourite people. It might be a little hectic or could be super chilled. Either way, it's usually pretty special. It also gives everyone a chance to get used to us in the background, which makes for more natural shots/footage as the day goes on. We're then with you for the day, covering all the obvious and not so obvious stuff.

You choose how long you'd like us to stay.

If you've opted for coverage into the evening, we'd usually stay with you until a little after your first dance so we can capture an essence of the party, or whatever you have going on.

The options above aren't set in stone, feel free to have a chat if your time scales don't quite fit in with one of the boxes.

​

Regardless of how long we're with you, we're happy to be an additional resource on your team. Having someone with a bundle of wedding experience around can be pretty valuable on the day, from passing messages and pinning flowers to general wedding etiquette. We've driven brides to the ceremony, sewn dresses, applied plasters, done up more necklaces and bracelets than we can remember (new nails for the day anyone?). We don't interfere at all but we're happy to help if needed.

After the day: A preview of your images and/or a mini teaser video, usually within a week. This sneak peek gives you something to go 'oooh' over whilst we work on the rest.

THE PHOTOGRAPHS:

A collection of individually processed images in high resolution, watermark free and ready to print should you wish. We don't deliver a set number of images, you'll receive everything 'useful', ie open eyes, not a duplicate etc. As a guide, this can be anywhere between 500 and 800 for a full day and will depend on what you've got going on, how many people are there etc. You'll have full personal usage rights to them all, forever.

​

We share your images with you via an easy to use, good to look at password protected online gallery. You can download them all from there, mark your favourites, start organising an album and lots more, it's a brilliant resource. You can also share the images you choose with friends and family via the same gallery, and they can download copies of files, order prints etc from there too. This can save you a massive task afterwards.

You'll also be able to watch your images in a slideshow too. Cheesy as it might sound, this is a cracking way to look through everything, maybe with a glass of something... definitely preferable to sitting there clicking on the keyboard.

​

THE FILM:

All include a 30-60 second 'trailer' version in portrait format for sharing on phones and via social media.

Highlight Film: 6 - 12 (ish) minute cinematic highlight video. The story of your day, creatively woven together...

We liken this to one of those extended movie trailers; emotive with snippets of all the best bits. A concise and punchy film that you'll be able to watch again and again. 

These are predominantly set to music but may feature snippets of voices from the day too. 

​

Highlight +: As above but with separate films of the ceremony and speeches.

In all honesty, you're less likely to get excited about watching the ceremony and speeches in their entirety every time, but we get that you might still like to have them for posterity, to watch every now and again. We feel like this is the perfect combination! You get the snappy, emotive highlight film to watch whenever you have a spare ten minutes, and you also have a record of the other bits to watch whenever the mood takes you.

IN GENERAL:

Super useful gallery: Everything is delivered to you via your own private gallery. It's easy to use, nice to look at and amazingly useful for organising your favourites, sharing them with friends and family, designing an album etc. 

Gallery access is included for 12 months from the date of delivery, with an option to extend as required.

​

Turnaround time: Images, usually 3 - 12 weeks. Films usually take a little longer.  We work in the home studio full time and will deliver your wedding to you as quickly as we can. Turnaround is quicker in the quieter months, slower in the busier ones. We'll keep you in the loop as to when you can expect to receive everything.
