Pricing
Planning a wedding is stressful enough without having to worry about your photographer putting restrictions on the amount of time they're at your wedding or the number of photos they take. To keep it simple, I have one price; all day coverage and unlimited photos included.
Full wedding day coverage: £1700
All day photographic coverage with no time restraints and no limit to the number of images supplied. You receive all of your wedding photos through an online gallery at full resolution, and free from watermarks. The images are yours to print and reproduce as you please, and unlimited downloads from the online gallery are free for your friends and family.
To make life as easy as possible, my all-day package includes the following:
- Me, at your wedding all day, which usually means 12+ hours
- Unlimited wedding photos edited and supplied at full resolution (normally in excess of 750)
- An online gallery containing all of your images, which are free to download
- Unlimited pre-wedding consultations & pre-wedding venue visits
- My travel within the Midlands
- The ability to pick up the phone and discuss wedding ideas with me whenever you'd like!
- 'Sneak peek' images within 24 hours if you'd like some
- Your full gallery usually delivered within 2 weeks, if not sooner.
- No cheesy poses, and no putting your wedding photos on social media before you've seen them.
Optional extras include wedding albums, engagement shoots and a second professional photographer - see below for more details:
Wedding albums from £415
I use the best wedding albums. And I mean the best - aside from the printing itself, the albums are entirely hand made in a small factory ran by a handful of amazing people, just north of London. The albums come in two sizes, A4 and 30cm square and as standard, have 30 pages and will hold around 80 images. That being said, you can add pages to hold additional images and doing so is very cost effective.
The wedding albums I use are very different to what you might consider a 'traditional' wedding album. The images are printed and then mounted directly onto the page. It's possible to print right over the centre of the album as the pages lay completely flat.
Smaller duplicates or 'parent albums' of the main album are also available, in A5 (for A4 main albums) and 20cm square (for 30cm square main albums.) These use the same artwork as the main album, and even feature the same high quality lay-flat pages.
Engagement/pre wedding shoot: £200
An engagement or pre-wedding photo shoot is a great way of easing your nerves in front of the camera. A lot of my clients have engagement shoots at their wedding venue - This allows them to have professionally taken photos that can be used on save-the-date cards or wedding invitations, as well as allowing them to get a feel for how their images will look on the wedding day itself.
Engagement shoots can be done at any location however, and I've undertaken photo shoots at country manor houses with hundreds of acres of land, to small private residential gardens and at every location in between.
My engagement photo shoots typically last between 45 minutes and an hour and a half, depending on the size of the location you've chosen to have your photos taken in, and how well you get on in front of the camera. Some couples take a little while to warm to the camera's presence, whilst other people are naturals.
Second wedding photographer*: £500

As good as I am at capturing real moments as they happen at weddings, I'm yet to find a way of actually being in two places at once - and that's where this option comes in. For a relatively small fee, you can have a second wedding photographer at your wedding with me. I don't use 'second shooters' or college students looking for work experience. In fact there's only a couple of people I do work with: Both are professional photographers with whom I have worked extensively in the past, and they are the only two people in the world I trust to work with me.
There are many benefits of having a second wedding photographer. Imagine being able to see each other's reactions when you both see the other person for the first time on your wedding day, usually when those doors at the back of the church or ceremony room swings open and the music starts playing.
Another good reason to have a second photographer on your wedding day is the 'getting ready' photos. Whilst I spend the morning with one half of the wedding party, the second photographer spends their time with the other half. Our cameras are synchronised, which allows you to see what your other half was doing at exactly the same time as you on the morning of your wedding. Believe me this often makes for a fantastic comparison!
Of course the main benefit is the one I alluded to earlier - I can't be everywhere at once. Having a second photographer there means that when I'm taking the formal photos, they're grabbing candids of people reacting to things that are happening during your reception. When I'm photographing the best man giving his speech, my associate is there to capture the guests' falling about laughing or crying with emotion.
"of all the money we spent on our wedding, you, and the service you gave were by far the best value..."
