Some
of your questions regarding Wedding photography
may be answered below.
Please don't hesitate to phone or email with any
other questions.
01 Who will be photographing my wedding?
Unless otherwise agreed David along with an
assistant will be the photographer at your
wedding.
We do have other qualified and experienced
photographers who cover weddings for us.
Our photographers are trained in our style,
method of working and adhere to our same high
standards of photographic excellence.
02 What happens if David or our photographer
is ill on the day of our wedding?
We always have a photographer in reserve but
we can also call on the assistance of a number
of local professional wedding photographers.
03 What happens if we want to cancel our
booking?
The first thing we require is a letter /
email confirming that the booking is to be
cancelled.
The booking deposit is non-refundable.
04. Can we change the date of our
booking?
Yes, subject to availability. To transfer
your booking we require written confirmation and
a non-refundable transfer fee of £30 to
cover administration costs.
05. How long does the photo session last on
the day?
It depends on the type of wedding service
you have booked with us and the type of
photography you require. The photo-call for
smaller weddings would be half an hour to forty
five minutes. For some of our larger wedding
services the photo-call would be between an hour
and fifteen minutes to two hours.
We provide a photography shot list for all our
wedding services which lists the group and
family photographs we would take and any
additional photographs you require.
We are always pleased to take any additional
requests on the day, but by working to a list we
can keep the
photo-call running smoothly.
06. How long before we see the pictures after
the wedding?
We photograph using professional digital SLR
cameras and all photographs are taken using RAW
format for the best possible quality. This means
that we have total control over colour accuracy
and can produce photographs of the highest
possible quality.
Shooting in RAW format requires anything from 4
to 16 hours post production and preparation on
our editing suites after which the photographs
are proofed onto photographic paper at our
laboratory.
Depending on our work load and at our lab,
proofs are normally ready between ten and
fifteen days after your wedding.
07 How many photographs will I have to choose
from?
This depends on the photography service you
have chosen. The amounts given for each of our
services are normally a minimum and we would
generally supply more. For photographs of
smaller groups, for example bride and groom with
parents, we may supply one full length and one
half length photograph. We normally take a
number of photographs of each setup so that we
have the flexibility to take out the photographs
with eyes shut or unfortunate expressions.
08 Can you supply proofs and prints at our
reception?
We certainly have the equipment to be able
to do this, but do not offer this service as
this would require taking photographs in "Jpeg"
format which is inherently inferior to
photographing using RAW. It would also require
the use of either an Inkjet or dye sublimation
printer, which again is inferior to photographs
printed on traditional photographic paper.
09. Can we have any Black and White
pictures?
Some of our photographic services include your
choice of Black and White or colour photographs.
Our smaller wedding photography services as
standard are in colour, but we can convert
photographs to black and white for a small
additional cost.
10. Are there any hidden extras costs?
All prices are fully inclusive of
photography, album (depending on the service
chosen) and local travelling.
11 Are you a full-time photographer?
David is a full time professional
photographer and videographer and also teaches
photography part time. He holds a degree in Art
History and C&G Professional Photography
Certificate.
Any photographers or videographers who work with
us may not be full time professionals but all
hold qualifications ranging from C&G to
degrees in photography and have many years
experience.
12 Do you have Insurance?
We have full Public Liability to 2 million
pounds, Professional Indemnity and Employers
Liability.
