I believe you should have a proper choice in what you spend and what you get. So I won't make you buy fixed packages, albums or even prints. Instead, you only pay for what you really want. This is how it works: |
||||||||
|
Location visit: Before the event, I need to see the venue/s involved and meet you and the officials. We go through the order of the day, decide where best to take the various photographs, and what to do if it rains. You'll be busy enough on the day and if I left anything to chance, I wouldn't be doing my job. The visit costs £50-£150 depending on distance, and is best done a week or two beforehand. |
£50-150 | |||||||
| Photography: Weddings generally comprise four parts: Bridal preparations, Ceremony, Reception and Party. Specific events such as Cake Cutting and First Dance are often useful markers. I can photograph any or all of these parts, so the cost can vary from £400 to £800. I also need to get to and from the various places, so please allow 50p/mile for all travelling including the location visit. | £400-800 | |||||||
| Digital processing: After the day I'll have several hundred digital image files. Each one is then critically assessed, processed from RAW and optimised in Photoshop. Every image is adjusted individually to give you the best possible photographs. This exacting process takes about two days, so please allow £150-250 for this work. | £150-250 | |||||||
| Special Effects: (now free on request). As you've seen on the gallery pages, some images look more striking when tastefully modified - for example black & white, spot colour, enhanced colour and cropping. Different people like different things, so the best way to do it is to call in at some convenient time after the wedding and we'll go through the images together and make some exciting new ones. Bring a memory stick and take them away with you! | FREE on request | |||||||

How many photographs will you get? That depends on many factors - the hours on site, the venues, the people and events, but for a full day the average is about 450 images and the record is 621! However, I never put quantity above quality - all images supplied are good, so you can see that the value is outstanding - about £2 per image. (Compare that with 50 prints in an album for £1800!) For an accurate estimate for *your* wedding or special occasion, just mail me with as much information as possible (date, venues, times, requirements) and I'll usually get back to you within 24 hours. To book, all you need is a £250 deposit. If you want to meet me here first before deciding, a good natter is absolutely free. * * * * How do you receive the photographs? Some photographers try to tie you up with over-priced prints and albums that cost a fortune. They also refuse to let you have the original images. But there IS another way: Bloke sends you all the images on a smartly presented DVD-ROM (or CD-ROM - see below). Then you can make your own prints however you like - at home, take to a shop or upload to an internet bureau like photobox.co.uk.
