Pricing

Your choices...

Every wedding is different and every couple has different needs, expectations – and budgets. That’s why it’s so important to spend time talking, getting to know each other, swapping ideas and making sure we leave nothing to chance.

I offer a range of packages but if you have something different in mind, please get in touch. It’s good to talk!

01 The Premium Package

Prices start from £1,200, includes

In person or Skype/Zoom discussion and planning meeting.
Full day coverage by me, from bride and groom’s preparation up to and including the first dance.
400+ High-quality edited images delivered digitally in a gallery format.
Second photographer can be added, prices start from £300

02 TAILORED PACKAGE

Prices start from £750

A package to suit your needs. You might require a second photographer, maybe it’s a wedding celebration your planning or you might like an album included.

If it’s something different you need then let’s chat about it.

03 Engagement shoot

includes

04 Post-Wedding Shoot

Prices start from £250

A chance to make the most of your wedding dress or suit. The images we create are really up to you, we can go anywhere – mountains, the coast, a location that is meaningful to you. This would be the opportunity to capture those images that were impossible to create at your wedding venue.

The possibilities are endless…

This would have to be fairly local, so Cheshire or North Wales, but I’m happy to discuss your plans if you’re looking for something further afield.

FAQ

Do we meet in person before our wedding day?

I would definitely suggest that we meet either in person, or via zoom before your wedding day, or engagement shoot. By the time of your wedding, I would like to have met you at least a couple of times. I really feel to get the very best results from your wedding photographs, we have got to know each other a little.

What are your payment terms?

I would take a deposit to secure your date in my diary. The deposit would be 20% of the total cost of your chosen package. Unfortunately I’m unable to secure a date unless a deposit is taken. The remaining balance would then be payable four weeks before your wedding day. This would be paid via bank transfer.

How long will it be before I get my edited photographs?

You will receive your professionally edited, high quality images four to six weeks after your wedding day. These images will be presented in a gallery format which will be password protected. You will be able to download the full resolution images. You will also be able to share the gallery with family & friends.

What are the benefits of a second photographer?

My second photographer will be just as skilled as I am and be able to capture special moments from a different perspective. They can be photographing the groom and groomsmen preparing, while I photograph the bride and bridesmaids. I highly recommend having a second photographer, after all there is only one chance to capture all those special moments.

I’ve sent a request, what’s next?

I will contact you about about a meeting, whether in person at your chosen venue or cafe. If meeting in person is difficult due to time restraints, we can arrange a zoom meeting.

Will you travel for weddings?

Yes, I’m very happy to travel for weddings. I will cover my travel costs for weddings within a 100 mile radius, however if I have to travel further or have to stay overnight, I may ask you to cover my expenses.

Are you insured?

Yes, I have liability insurance. If requested I can provide proof of insurance.

Is there anything else I need to do?

I will ask you to sign my contract & fill out a questionnaire about your wedding day. The questionnaire will ask you about dates, locations & any special photographs or requirements you might have.

Can you supply a photograph album

Yes, we produce photo albums too that beautifully present your chosen photographs. More information about our albums will be available online shortly, and can be discussed in more detail during our initial conversation.
