Coverage

In all but the bespoke packages our coverage starts from bridal preparations , this would normally be approx 1 hour prior to leaving for ceremony to allow us to capture makeup / final touches , dress being put on and bridesmaids family naturally as the day begins. In cases where travel betweeen the houses is possible we can also cover the grooms preparations if wished. We would continue through the day as far as the first dance where the day for us is complete. During mealtimes we gratefully accept any offer of food from yourselves or the venue , if this is not possible we will make our own arrangements but may have to leave the venue for a short time to do so.

Editing and Supply of Images

With two photographers on a full day we would expect roughly 300-400 final edited shots which we supply to you copyright free on disk in high res format, this can be used by yourselves to print anything you like pretty much to any size you want A4 / A3 / A2 / A1 etc

Copyright Free is a general term used to describe the use of the images by the client ie there is no copyright logo on the images , in legal terms the photographer retains the copyright but licencses the client to print the images or use them for their own purposes as long as it is not used commercially or given to other companies without our authorisation.

The process of editing your shots is outlined HERE please take time to read this as it is important.

Online Gallery

This will normally be the first stage in your photos being shown via a password protected online gallery which we will host online for a month for you and your relatives / friends to see. Disks are also available of images to purchase via the site. The online images are compressed to fit on the internet and are not representative of the final quality of the images supplied on disk.

Travel Costs

As far as we can we like to make everything inclusive , however for a small cost ( 40p per mile ) we are willing to travel and cover anywhere in the UK , please contact us with details of your date and venue for a quote.

Equipment

Photography as an art form requires the photographer to be profficient in the use of may peices of equipment , and all photographers differ in the makes and types of equipment they use , we personally use Canon 5Dmk2 cameras with a range of professional L lenses ranging from Ultra Low Light lenses for non flash use in church etc , to telephoto lenses for long distance capture of natural shots. We have two camera bodies and lenses in use in case of breakdowns. We do not use additional lighting setups other than flashguns to remain discreet and natural.

Booking and Payment

To book our services requires a deposit of £200 payable by cheque or bank transfer, we will then arrange a meeting with you at our home office which is based in Middlesbrough for a chat about the day and your requirements and if necessary to look at albums and make a final decision on your choices , you may if you like book us for the photo only package and then decided to upgrade to an album package etc. You may also like to book a pre wedding shoot with us at the venue.
