What packages do you have ? 

I offer many different packages, depending upon your requirements and budget.

Everything from prints or CD packages through to traditional wedding albums and printed books are available.

Prints Package

This package is a complete set of enlarged pictures from your day and is ideal if you want to get your own album and have pictures over to give as gifts to friends & relatives.

Album Package

The album package is the most popular choice for couples. It includes an album of your choosing and anything from 15 to 40 pages inside.

Printed Books & Montage Albums

 These contemporary albums and books come in a multitude of types and styles, far too many to mention here. I recommend you book a wedding consultation to see the full range. They consist of anything between 10 and 50 pages and come in all sizes upto A3.

 Packages don't have to be chosen at the time of booking. The best option is often simply to secure my services for your wedding day then choose albums later.

All packages include a web gallery that will remain on-line for ever. All your wedding pictures will be available for you & your guests to view on-line within 4 days.

There are no prices here, can i get a quote over the telephone?

Yes. This web site includes everything except prices. Please call me on (0151) 348 1707 for a no obligation quote.

When can we meet you ?

If my price is within budget and you are interested in booking my services i will be happy to meet up with you both to discuss your wedding requirements. You can either visit my studio during office hours or i can visit your home in the evening.

What is included in your packages?

Every package includes:

# On-line proof print gallery

# A wide choice of albums, from traditional to modern.

# Time planning of your Wedding Day

# Web gallery - your wedding pictures on your own web gallery page that will stay on-line for life.

# A Friendly,smiling service, from when we meet to the completion of the job.

Whatever level of coverage you want, i am there for you before, during & after your wedding, to ensure that you end up with a collection of images that are as unique as your day.

Prior to the wedding we will go through your plans, discuss ideas and finalise things.

On your wedding day coverage usually starts at the church or civil venue and finishes before your reception meal starts.

Your proofs are ready about 4. The proof prints are the basis for your album.

Once you have made your final selection your pictures are printed up and mounted in a hand made album of your choosing.

What styles of photography can you produce ?

As you can see from my portfolio pages i can produce both traditional & creative / reportage styles. Most couples tend to go for a mix, with traditional pictures taken during the ceremony with a few group shots and a more creative style being used once all the formalities are over.. But it is up to you. We will plan the photography together, so you will get exactly what you want.. 

I don't like shots of people standing to attention, shaking hands, looking wooden or forcing smiles. If you dislike it as much as me then please read on, we are on the right lines. 

My method of working is quite relaxed. I prefer to capture natural emotions rather than forced smiles.I like couples to just be themselves on the day. 

I put both yourselves and your guests at ease, making the photography stress free and enjoyable.

What equipment do you use ?

I use a range of Canon professional cameras for my wedding work. Every wedding is shot on at least 3 cameras. Couples who book photographers who just use one camera run a great risk if it breaks.

I may also use indoor studio lighting if the weather is poor or for portrait work during winter weddings.

A lot of wedding photographers have hidden charges, do you ?

No. Definately not.

Quite a lot of photographers will charge extra for the album and for building it. I don't. My prices are all inclusive and i freeze them at todays rate, no matter how far into the future you book.

What about your customer service ?

Your wedding photographer is an integral part of your day, often the one person you will spend most time with. I take my role seriously and believe in keeping in touch during the build up.

From the moment you book your wedding I am available to you to discuss any ideas you may have. I offer a service and believe that it should be more than just taking photographs.

Your photography will be planned in advance and works around the day......NOT THE DAY AROUND THE PICTURES.

Your pictures wil;l be in your on-line gallery within 4 days.

Albums are usually ready for collection about 28 days after you make your final choice. 

Are you insured ?

Yes. I have £1 million public indemnity insurance. You should always make sure your suppliers have this type of cover. If they don't, and amateur photographers won't, then i wouldn't take the risk. It covers you and your guests against risk and injury when i am conducting my business. The insurance is part of my day to day business and is included in the price.

Can we see any other pictures ?

Yes, this web site is just a taster of what i produce for couples like yourselves.

When i come to see you i will show you some of these pictures in all their glory and many others that aren't on this site.
