Apart from the wedding day, what other services do you offer that may be of interest to us:
Engagement Shoot / Pre-Wedding Shoot – Yes. Increasingly couples are asking for a little shoot before the wedding. I find it can be useful practice session for anyone nervous in front of the camera, and is a great chance for us to work together before the big day. We’ll capture some lovely images that could then be used for invites or on your order of service. As a London wedding photographer, I also know some lovely locations arounds London, where we could take some lovely photos.
Post Wedding Shoot – This can be really good fun as the stress of the wedding has now gone and we can have some fun in front of the camera. You can make the most of your dress and we can have some fun with awesome photos. It’s a great way to get more images and make that wedding feeling last longer.
Extra Wedding USB sticks – The photos are normally provided digitally via a secure online gallery. However extra USB sticks can be purchased for friends or family.
Additional Coverage – I typically stay until the first few dances but if you'd like me to stay longer after the first dance, than this can also be arranged. Capture your friends and family letting loose on the dance floor!
Do we need a second photographer? Generally in my experience the wedding couple prefer a low-key approach to the photography, so I usually tend to work alone. This allows me to be unobtrusive and blend in with guests. Usually at the beginning of the day I prioritise the bride’s preparations and I try to photograph the groom at that stage of the day too. However if the couple are in different locations this may become a bit tricky, in which case I would leave enough time to capture the boys before the ceremony. However, many couples do prefer a second photographer, and it can be a great asset at larger weddings or where the timings and logistics are tight. I only use photographers I trust to work to my style and standard.
