I have just received the good news that a recent photograph I had taken during a wedding at the Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa has been awarded a ‘Gold Award’ by the SWPP (Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers ) the wedding image was one of just a few pictures selected from several hundred entrants from professional photographers across the UK & Europe, thank you to all the swimmers that waited in the shallow end of the pool while I took the photograph !
Every wedding assignment is treated as a unique event, approached with a fresh and imaginative eye. From the first to the last click of the shutter my aim is to capture all the elements of your wedding day and to make every image the best it can be, to create a set of photographs that highlight the difference between the ordinary and special.
Highly experienced at working in all kinds of locations, weather and lighting conditions, within the usual time constraints has enabled me to consistently exceed clients expectations, whilst maintaining a calm and easy going, spirit throughout the day. I am the recommended photographer for a number of prestigious venues, wedding co-ordinatators and service providers.
I work in an unobtrusive way using a variety of photographic techniques and styles to tell your story effectively from reportage of the intimate moments and action, traditional for the family group pictures and directed informal, stylish images on location of the bride and groom.
The final artistic presentation of your pictures is a key part in producing a unique and exclusive wedding book, one that stands out from the standard, holding a BA(hons) Degree in Graphic Design and with careful attention to detail I design each album individually by bringing all the images together in stylish, elegant and modern page designs that bring your pictures to life.
The extensive photographic coverage begins with the bride’s preparations through to and including the speeches and this can be extended to cover the first dance and evening celebrations if required.
The selection of finished images for your finished wedding book is made at your leisure from a quality printed proof book and a website gallery if required for friends and family.
My rates reflect my experience, photographic skill and the high quality of my work. They are determined by the length of coverage you require, the number and final presentation of your images.
Prices start at £1595 and include the following - photographer and assistant –
