Investment in your wedding memories
One of the key questions - how much? Three options are shown below as a guide, based on how long you need photography for. All can be tailored to meet your exact needs.
I'd also ask you to think about the service you will receive and the benefits of investing in an experienced photographer to capture the most important day of your lives. Please have a look at the sections below and the page with lovely feedback from previous customers.

All can be supplied in a range of formats and sizes. They provide a lovely printed record of your day, either on the wall or in a book. Some couples also choose to buy guest books for the key people in their life. There is a range of options from the suppliers I use. For further information on the options and pricing, just get in touch.
What is Included?
We will work together to plan your wedding photography, with meetings and conversations as often as you need them. By the time of your wedding day I'll have everything covered. Couples can contact me at any time and will always receive a prompt response.
All options include a rehearsal at your wedding venue(s) and I'll take some trial photos, which you get to keep. I find this helps the couple to be more relaxed for their wedding photos.
All your images are edited professionally by myself. After the excitement of your wedding day you'll want the photos as soon as possible. Rest assured you will have some samples within a day or two and usually all the edited photos within a couple of weeks. Often it is much quicker, but I never compromise quality for speed - your wedding photos are too important!
They will be provided on an engraved wooden memory stick, in a matching presentation box, with multiple copies of each image, in different file sizes for printing and electronic use. You'll get to keep all the images to share with family and friends.
You will also have a password protected online gallery of your wedding photographs for a year. For those who can't be at your wedding or who live a distance away you can share the password and they can relive your wedding day!
Experience
I've been capturing weddings for over ten years now. During that time I've gained loads of experience which will ensure that your wedding photos are exactly what you want.
The photography is tailored to meet each couple's needs, with an offer of different styles of photography such as candid and natural photos, as well as 'reportage', capturing the story of your wedding day. Many people find the formal group photos can be a chore, but I aim to make them fun and keep people engaged. The most important photos are those of you, the happy couple to provide you with lasting memories of your best day!
From experience I can assist and guide you with ideas, locations for your photos, backdrops and the number of group photos needed to allow plenty of time for the less formal, fun and spontaneous moments. I am known for working with the venue and other service providers to ensure everything runs smoothly, so you can enjoy your special day!
Payments
A £75, non-refundable deposit is required to secure the date and confirm your wedding booking. This will be deducted from your final balance, due just two weeks before your wedding day.
If you would like to pay a deposit or balance, please get in touch. Payments can be made by bank transfer, cheque or cash.
Portraits, Parties and Pets
I provide location shoots, capturing images for those recently engaged, a family day out or taking the fur baby for a walk. I use several locations which provide a variety of settings to give you lasting memories.
I also have a portable studio and can set this up in your home in a few minutes. This is great for family groups, portraits and pet photography against a backdrop.
I provide photography for christenings, birthday parties, anniversaries and other celebrations. Everyone is dressed up and ready for a good time. Having a professional photographer there to capture your guests is a great addition to your event.
You'll get to keep all the edited images on a usb memory stick. An hour's photoshoot costs £95*

* The fees include travel to locations within 20 miles of Swadlincote. For events further away, I may need to add a surcharge for fuel cost and travel time.
