When you have chosen your perfect wedding photographer you first need to decide what amount of cover you want from your day - do you want all day captured or just part of your day? Do you want your wedding prep in the morning captured or just the main parts like your ceremony and group photographs?
Whatever you decide there is a photographer & a photography package there to suit you...
These are my Wedding Packages...
Platinum Package
On the morning of your wedding day I arrive 2 hours prior to your wedding ceremony to capture Bride or Groom prep... Sometimes if the parties are in close proximety it is possible to capture both Bride & Groom prep.
My Platinum Package is all day cover so from morning prep until just after your first dance of the evening.
Details...
As you are getting ready I capture lots of details, you dress, your shoes, your perfum, your jewellery everyone who is around you on the wedding morning. The build up to your ceremony.
Leave it to me...
On your wedding morning it would be lovely if all you had to do is get ready so as your photographer I am keen to help your morning go without any hiccups - I have been known to pin on a button hole, provide safety pins to a bridesmaids dress or just generally make sure you are as relaxed and unflustered as possible - whilst capturing this important part of your day.

Precious moments with your nearest and dearest

Gold Package
The precious moments just before your ceremony...
From your ceremony onwards...
My Gold Package covers the 30 minutes prior to your ceremony at your venue or Church until the dancing & fun just after your first dance in the evening.
In the 30 mins prior to your ceremony I like to capture your guests being welcomed into your ceremony room or church. I take this oportunity to photograph wedding rings (usually left with a Best Man) I am also constantly on the look out for your arrival.
Bespoke Package
My Bespoke Package is for a total of 4 hours and can run from morning prep (1 hour morning wedding prep) or from your ceremony.
In the 4 hours I cover your ceremony, group photographs (taken at your drinks reception) & your newly-wed images (this depends completely on your wedding schedule) I can also quote to add up to two extra hours to your Bespoke Package should you want to capture a little more of your day.

Beautiful ceremony images...
As you are saying your 'I do's' I am happily capturing some beautiful images from your ceremony.

Candids...
After your wedding ceremony it is time to chat with your guests. I usually spend this time capturing candid shots of you and your guests.

Confetti shots...
Group photographs...
Whilst all around you are chatting and having drinks & canapes it's time for me to organise your group photographs as quickly and painlessly as possible so not to drag you away from your guests for too long.
Newly-wed images...
If you have booked my Bespoke Package I usually take what time is left to get some beautiful newly-wed images for you.
(I can always quote to add up to two additional hours to your Bespoke Package if you want me to capture a little more of your wedding day.)
If you have booked my Platinum or Gold Package, I tend to go with the flow and let you decide if you want to take 10-15 mins away at this point or (in the case of a Summer wedding) get your newly-wed images a little later. Leaving you more time to mingle with your guests.
Sarah & Mike making my job easy!
If you have booked my Bespoke Package (4 HOURS COVER) this is where I finish my day with you, once I am happy that I have captured enough beautiful photographs for you, I take my leave you to enjoy the rest of your day with your nearest and dearest.
I CAN ALWAYS QUOTE TO ADD UP TO TWO ADDITIONAL HOURS TO YOUR BESPOKE PACKAGE, IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO CAPTURE A LITTLE MORE OF YOUR DAY.

Wedding Breakfast & Speeches...
Just before your guests take their seats at your wedding breakfast, I like to take some detail images of your wedding breakfast room decor.

The speeches...
As you listen to the speeches I like to capture your's and your guest's reactions. I always try to find the right spots and capture the speeches from different angles.
After the speeches...
As on Sarah & Mike's wedding day, a summer wedding, I like to take a couple more newly-wed images - I'm always on the lookout for a good sunset!
The evening reception...
If you are expecting more guests to arrive in the evening I set up my off camera flash to capture any group photographs you may want - & I mingle with your guests, capturing candid moments.
Time to cut the cake...
Your first dance...
Setting up my off camera flashes I position myself in just the right spot to capture your first dance.

Party time!
Once that first dance is over I like to capture your guests taking to the floor to join you in the dancing
I reposition my off camera flashes and get right in the middle of the fun to capture some awesome candid shots!
Sarah & Mike without a care in the world, enjoying the dancing.
Time for me to take my leave...
On a Platinum or Gold Package day, as the party is in full swing and when I am sure I have captured some fabulous shots for you I say my goodbye's and take my leave. Leaving you to enjoy the rest of your evening of drinking, dancing and making memories.
