LOTS OF INFO TO BE FOUND
ON THIS PAGE...
IT'S A LITTLE WAFFLY, BUT WORTH IT, PROMISE
This page is pretty wordy but your wedding coverage is massively important and a big investment. We want you to have as much info as possible so you can make the most informed decision. If this is your second visit and you just want to see the figures, click here.
RELAXED AND UNOBTRUSIVE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
​
Summary: A collection of gorgeous, natural photographs that tell the story of your wedding day and will jog your memory when you're old and forgetful.
More info: Most of us aren't fans of posing for photographs or having flash guns fired in our eyes. We avoid both wherever possible in favour of a more authentic, documentary style approach, so no awkwardness for yourselves or your guests. Equally, we don't want to leave you with memories of standing around taking photographs. That'd be a bit rubbish.
​
We want to leave you with photographs that are about your wedding, not make your wedding all about the photographs.
​
We turn up when you're ready for us and go when you've had enough. Usually we'd join you whilst you're getting ready so we can dip in and out to capture a bit of your time with your people, and also any little details (clothes, rings etc) too.
​
Then, we do our best to subtly blend in with whatever's going on throughout the day. Sometimes that looks like chatting to people, other times we'll lurk in the background so we can sneakily capture it all; the 'key' moments, the chats, and laughs, the happiness, the silly bits, any giddiness, the odd tear, whatever's going on.
We want to leave you with a comprehensive record of the big stuff, the little things and everything in between, not just the 'traditional' moments where you're standing there with a cake knife wondering whether you should do something yet, though we'll capture that too, obviously.
SUPER CHILLED WEDDING HIGHLIGHT FILM
Summary: Same vibe as above; very chilled documentary style coverage, mostly from the wings, drone included, weather and location permitting.
​
More info: We film your wedding as we experience it, without engineering anything if we can. We avoid excessive equipment which helps us to blend in even more. If we're covering your photography too, we tag team perfectly, or if not, we'll chat with your photographer and blend in with their plans. We're very relaxed.
​
At the end you'll receive a 6 - 12 minute HD video covering the highlights of your day, alongside a 30-60 second 'trailer' version that's a little easier to share. These will be edited in a style that compliments your photographs, if we're also covering those.
We wouldn't usually record your ceremony or speeches in their entirety, but we will capture elements of both and feature these as we feel appropriate.
COUPLE PORTRAITS
Summary: A short session at an opportune moment, maybe another one later as the light changes.
More info: We usually go off for a quick walk when there's a natural lull in the day. We'll suggest some ideal spots, we'll have a natter but we mostly just ask you to be yourselves and maybe give you the odd subtle nudge to help us get the most gorgeous photographs. You won't believe us right now, but you'll actually enjoy this bit.
NO AWKWARD POSING
​
Summary: Lots of posing will probably make you feel (and therefore look) awkward and unnatural so we avoid it.
More info: We don't really like to stage stuff too much, it's not our thing and it's just not a fun way to spend your time. Instead, do stuff, we chat, you guys chat, we move around a bit, we might make the odd helpful suggestion about which way to face etc. That way, you're not concentrating on having your photo taken and you don't look (or feel) wildly uncomfortable.
We've been working in this way for a really long time, so we can confidently capture the stand-out shots without taking ages to set it all up, even with couples that can't stand the idea of this bit. It'll be painless and a bit of fun, promise.
​
You are very welcome to look longingly into the distance or invoke your inner catalogue model of course, even better if you have a laugh whilst doing so, just please rest assured that we won't make you do anything that will make you cringe.
​
GROUP SHOTS (PHOTOGRAPHY ONLY)
Summary: Yes but not loads. They can take ages, you'll get bored/annoyed/cold and you might miss your wedding reception.
​
More info: It's not often that you get all the people you like and love in one place, dressed nicely and in a good mood. We recommend making the most of this. We try to keep these as relaxed, fun and brief as possible. Think less stand-there-say-cheese, more bring-your-drink-and-have-a-giggle. We figure you'd rather spend the day with your friends and family, not posing for oodles of photographs with us.
Important bit: Group photographs can really throw your day if you're not careful, they take longer than you think (there is always someone who's nipped to the loo or gotten stuck in conversation with someone they haven't seen in years). The result can be that you're left standing there waiting, time ticks by and you miss a load of your socialising time. Hence we suggest maxing out at 8 shots. We have ways and means of making this bit run smoothly and quickly too, we can chat about the logistics of your day to make it work for you so you get the shots and the champagne drinking opportunities too.
IN A NUTSHELL...
Ultimately, no two couples are ever the same and no two weddings are either, so we don't have a blueprint of shots that we get or stuff that we do. We chat with you guys about your plans and what you want from your photography or film, and tailor everything we do to that, so the coverage reflects all that went on and you end up with a pretty comprehensive record of the whole shebang.
