Gloucestershire Wedding Photography | What's Next...

Hopefully your here because you love what you see, I want to make it as easy and as stress free as I can for you. So heres a little guide to what happens when you book me... If you have any questions please get in touch! I'm more than happy to help. My pricing is simple and uncomplicated, the prices you see are what you pay, there's no hidden extras.

Booking a wedding photographer can be a daunting task with so many options in a very competitive market. My biggest piece of advice would be to choose someone you get on with, who ever you choose will be in your personal space for a lot of your day, the better you get on the more relaxed you will be...

We like what we see... Perfect! Get in touch... Simply fill out the booking form at the bottom of this page and I'll check the date is available for you! Once I’ve confirmed the date is available let’s get together over tea and cake and chat about your big day! This is also a great time to book in for a couples shoot if your feeling a little nervous about being in front of the camera!

We'd love to book you... If you'd  like to secure your date I’ll need a £350 booking fee within 7 days of meeting. I will send you a copy of my contract and my bank details for a transfer. As soon as it has been received I'll send written confirmation... Its that simple! If you'd like to read through my contract before we meet, let me know and I'll send it over.

When will we here from you? If you need to speak to me about anything then PLEASE get in touch, if your wedding is a while away then you won't know all the details straight away. But as your planning unfolds keep me up to date and ask any questions! I'm always happy to help in any way that I can

6 weeks to go… Your wedding day is getting closer! I'll email you around this time to get a timeline of your day so I can begin planning how we can fit your photography in around everything. I will also need a list of formal photographs from you with names. I'd suggest keeping your list to less than 10 to avoid your whole day having formal shots, but if you need more thats fine! Its your big day... I find these are the most requested group shots:

Bride and Groom with both sets of parents

Bride and Groom with grandparents  

Bride and Groom with bridesmiads

Bride and Groom with groomsmen

Bride with Bridesmaids

Groom with Groomsmen

Bride and Groom alone  (we will schedule some time to sneak off and do these so nobody is watching!)

Everyone

To help this run smoothly (and so it doesn't take too long) I do ask if a member of the wedding party (a groomsman is usually ideal) can be on hand to help me find the correct people for the photographs! Also include any must have photographs, things that I may not be aware of, such as an old family heirloom or piece of jewellery that might be really important to you.

Around the week before! Ok… I’m getting very excited as I expect you are! I'll send you another email, confirming times and a little nudge that your remaining balance is due. If any details have changed please let me know.

Your WEDDING day! I shoot with two cameras (Canon 5D Mark iii)  I'm a prime lens kind of girl (I find them much sharper and give that creamy dreamy blurry background you see in so many of my photos)... I won't bore you with my geekyness, but if you want to know more just ask! My batteries are always fully charged, as are the backups. Everything is cleaned, packed and ready to go... – I’m prepared. I CANNOT wait to get there and start making the most precious memories for you. All you have to do is enjoy it.

After the big day… Over the next few weeks I’ll be going through the photographs taken, there will be quite a few out-takes. I don't limit the amount of photographs I give you, if they play a part of your story they'll be there, the amount shown in each package is the minimum amount you will receive. The ones I decide to use will be individually edited using Lightroom and Photoshop in a mix of colour and black and white, each image will then be added to your USB.
Before the USB is posted I will email you with a link to your gallery and you can send this to family and friends as you wish.You will have the rights to reproduce your photographs for personal use only as many times as you wish (as stated in our contract)

Albums and parent albums can be created by myself if you wish.

Album Prices...

10x10 fine art album with 15 spreads (30 pages) with gorgeous leather cover in a choice of colours | £350

6x6 parent album with a beautiful fabric cover (duplicate of the main album) | £150
