wedding information
Over the years photography has changed a great deal, but what hasn’t changed is the style in which you take the picture.
A great picture is one where the people are relaxed naturally.
Im very easy to get on with and I hope this shows in my pictures. I’ve photographed many weddings and luckily never had a bad word said about any of my pictures..
I also do a lot or pre-wedding preparation and cover all eventualities. I take the money for the pictures when you collect the proofs so you see what you are getting first (in my studio I hear many many stories of people who pay up front and never get any pictures!!, or they get bad pictures.
I like to take a good mix of informal pictures and the traditional pictures you would have at a wedding but I listen to what you want. I also work quite quickly as you are there to enjoy the day, see your friends etc and not to be standing around for ages you will have great pictures but not spend the whole day having your picture taken!!
Because I used to work as a press photographer I am always looking for shots of what’s going on around me and this often makes the best pictures as their the things you haven’t seen but make the day
I very much also go with the flow that’s why when we meet up I like to take the time to get to know you as if you feel comfortable with the photographer you will get better pictures and enjoy your day even more!!
I think its very important that you feel relaxed with your photographer and that you see a whole wedding not just a few examples so if you would like to meet up with no obligation please feel free to give me a ring
I very much also go with the flow that’s why when we meet up I like to take the time to get to know you as if you feel comfortable with the photographer you will get better pictures and enjoy your day even more!!
I try to take the pictures in a way that I would like a photographer to take pictures at my wedding! I enjoy photographing weddings as it’s a happy occasion and I like to chat to the guests etc and this also enables you to get nice relaxed looking pictures. As well as the classical ones. I have lots of qualifications like a degree and have been in business 20 years but please look at past photographs to get a feel of the style of pictures just call into the studio
No two weddings are a like, pictures are always very different and that’s what makes weddings fun to photograph !I also look at it that these pictures will be around in a 100 years time and I want them to be the best they can and to capture the essence of the day so you can look back and remember all those special moments that made the day! !!I try to create a storyboard of the day’s events with a combination of traditional and candid, informal pictures .I like every one to have pictures that are original to them and I think I’m quite creative. Nearly all my weddings are through recommendations of people whose weddings I have photographed
Every location has it’s own character, if I have not been to the church or venue before(which is getting a rarity theses days) I will go and have a good look before the event so on the day I am familiar with the best locations, at the time of the wedding as this is important for subtle lighting etc .I have climbed many castle turrets ,and cliff- tops etc for great pictures .It’s your big day and your choice…I want you to have pictures and a style of photography that you would like and that you feel relaxed with..I`m very much the type of photographer who will take lots of pictures of things you don’t see as well as you tapping me on the shoulder when you see some one you would like a pic with
A TYPICAL DAY WOULD BE AS FOLLOWS
Although I very much go with the flow ,hopefully this will give you a rough outline .I like to work in a relaxed manner, be as unobtrusive as possible and give you lots of informal pictures .Hopefully capturing all the antics you didn’t see!!!
1) Visit the brides house before the wedding (it can be quite manic there!!) at the Brides house this is the way I play it…If the Brides ready great…if not it doesn’t matter in the slightest as we will take plenty of pictures later on when every one is more chilled .There is always a lot of activity going on so I just take pictures of what’s going on (I won’t be in any ones way!!)
2) Meet the groom if he’s having a ginger beer and take some informal pictures with his pal’s
3) Take some smart pictures of the Groom, Best Man etc at the church ,venue
4) Will take some pictures of flowers, guests ,venue etc
5) Wait outside for the Bride. .Bridesmaids to arrive and take some pictures
6) Pictures of the Bride and entourage walking down the aisle
7) Pictures during the service .I don’t move around and usually don’t use a flash this as I look at it is the main point of the day the rest is the party afterwards. So I am very discreet during the service
8) Signing of the register ,the married couple walking back up the aisle
9) After every one has had a chance to chat to you I do the group pictures, which I do from a list you have provided. I appreciate that most people aren’t a lover of having their photograph taken so I do the groups quickly. If you know what you are doing you can take lovely pictures with out taking ages and ages .Then couple pictures etc using the settings, natural light,slight fill in flash
10) At the reception I will take pictures of the lay out ,all the guests, line up and what’s going on
11) People around the tables
11) Cake cutting I usually take when you cut the cake as its more natural
12) During the speeches I bring out a big telephoto lense.. Being an ex-press man I know these often make the best pictures.. Especially the reactions!!
13) During the evening I take pics when the guests arrive, first dance, dancing, antics.
14) During the whole evening I’m taking informal pictures ,you just tap us on the shoulder and i`ll take pictures of you with your pals .This way you get plenty of pictures with your friends who come in the evening .By the evening I also know most of the guests so everyone is very relaxed
After the wedding
Depending on the service chosen you will receive all the pictures in a viewing album or a disc or hosted on a web site with a security password if you wish
If any of your relatives would like a reprint they are all numbered and an order form is provided with various sizes etc. You choose the ones for your album and make a list on the sheet provided. You will also be given a wedding album catalogue with descriptions to choose you album. There is a wide selection of albums to choose from ,all are professionally made. The album will then be made up, each picture in the album has its own overlay ,tissue etc These albums alone take 4-5 hours to make up
This hopefully gives you a rough idea….Matt
