Frequently Asked Questions
How much will it cost?
This will depend on many factors as we tailor the photography to meet your own particular requirements. Prices for a single venue wedding, including local travel and an album of proof photographs for you to keep start from less than £500.
How many photographs will I get?
How many would you like? Typically, a proof album will contain at least 200 photographs (more if the evening reception is covered as well) but this can be adjusted to meet your own preference.
How far will you travel?
Although based on the borders of Greater London and Kent, we will travel to any location in the UK.
Do you belong to a professional body?
Yes, the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP)
Do you cover more than one assignment a day?
No. We cover only one wedding each day. This enables us to arrive in plenty of time to get the early shots and means that we'll be able to stay longer if necessary. It also means that we concentrate fully on your wedding all day.
Will I be able to keep the album of proofs?
Yes. The proof album and all the photographs in it are yours to keep.
We'd like to choose some enlargements for an album. Is this included in the price?
If you would like us to include a final album of enlargements, we will be pleased to quote you an all-inclusive price to include the album of your choice and the quantity of prints that you would like in it.
Will I be able to buy individual enlargements without buying an album from you?
Yes. We can supply additional prints in virtually any size you would like. There is no obligation whatsoever to buy any additional items from us.
Will you mount enlargements in our own album?
Yes. Provided the prints are purchased from us, we'll be pleased to mount them in your own album. There will be a small additional charge for time and material - this will depend on the number of prints involved.
Will you supply images on a CD instead of in an album?
Yes. Please make this clear at the time of booking
Can you supply a slide show of the photographs with accompanying music?
Yes.
Can I see some samples of your work?
We shall be pleased to visit you in the comfort of your own home to discuss your wedding plans and to show you some samples of our work. We can then provide you wilth a tailor-made quote to match your exact requirements.
We are on a very tight budget. Do you have any special budget packages?
We shall be pleased to discuss individual circumstances and suggest ways that you can keep costs down. If you have a particular budget in mind, we shall be pleased to suggest photography packages to meet it.
If we want to order some enlargements, is there any time limit for us to do this?
We retain your wedding images as archived files for at least 6 years (usually much longer) and you can order enlargements and reprints at any time you wish. Prices will be those applicable at the time the order is placed.
Can you provide framed prints?
Yes. We can supply frames and mount your prints for you.
What is the largest print size you can provide?
We can supply prints in any size up to approximately 45" x 32"
Can you provide prints on canvas?
Yes.
Are the prints in the proof album overprinted with any wording?
No. The proof album is designed to tell the story of your day. We do not believe that your enjoyment should be spoilt by overprinted photographs.
Can you video our wedding as well?
Although we have both worked in TV in the past, we have decided to specialise in still photography. However, our background means that we are able to understand the needs of professional videographers and this helps us to work smoothly and efficiently with them.
Do you use film or digital?
Virtually all of our photography is captured using top of the range Canon professional digital cameras. We still have Canon and Hasselblad film based equipment although nowadays this is used much less frequently.
What happens if it rains?
We carry studio lighting on every assignment and can set this up at a suitable indoor location if the weather is poor. Normally, we are able to include some outdoor shots under shelter even if it rains.
What is reportage photography?
This is the art of telling the story of your day through photographs. It is based on photojournalism (telling a story in pictures) and typically includes a mixture of formal, informal and detail photographs. Carried out properly, reportage photography will provide you with a comprehensive collection of photographs that will form a lasting story book of your day. As well as being experienced wedding photographers, Brian qualified as a photojournalist at the London School of Photojournalism and will use his skills to ensure that you will be able to re-live your day for many years to come.
Are you insured?
Yes. We have both professional indemnity insurance and public liability insurance
