Wedding Photographer Hampshire, Berkshire & Surrey

When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.

- John Ruskin

Informal, flexible and fun! I cover weddings mainly in Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey and London, but will also cover select weddings internationally.

I see my job as to capture your wedding, not hold you to ransom with expensive reprints and so all of my packages include high resolution images on CD as standard. Should you wish I can provide you with a range of high quality frames and canvasses, but you are also free to provide your own.

My coverage typically includes elements of reportage, informal portraits, groups and detail shots which is what my clients mostly ask for, a nice light day and a well balanced wedding album.

While I do have a proven approach to wedding photography that works, I'm also able to listen, so if you have your own ideas I'm happy to try to incorporate them into your wedding photographs.

I enjoy my work and you will find me to be polite, enthusiastic and very personable on the day. Not only is this just good manners, it lets people relax around me and that's when the magic happens.

Why Choose Me?

There are many other wedding photographers out there. So why should you consider me over another wedding photographer? 

• Value, I take a sensible approach to pricing, I charge enough that I can provide high quality products and service without being outrageous. There are definitely cheaper photographers around, but you will struggle to find better value.

• Quality, I only use good quality products and suppliers because simply put less goes wrong and they last longer. good quality products equal happy clients and happy clients make for an easier life! The supplier of my premium hybrid albums also supplies members of the Royal family and if it's good enough for them, I'm sure it's good enough for you!

• Print Longevity, all products are designed with resistance to fading in mind, prints are made using an archival paper designed to last at least 50 years without notable fading. I also supply specialist metallic prints and hybrid albums rated at 200 years in good storage conditions. Have you noticed how many photographers offering cheaper packages don't mention print life? Those cost savings have to come from somewhere and printing is one of the areas they are often trimmed from.

• Accredition, I'm professionally accredied holding a licentiate from the SWPP. While anybody can become a member, only those submitting a collection of work deemed to have reached the standards set by the Society are accredited. It must be earned and can not simply be 'bought'.

• Skill and Experience. Trading since 2003 I've shot well over 100 weddings in every weather condition from sun to snow in both the UK and abroad. The value of experience can't be overestimated, everybody has to start somewhere, but do you really want them to start with your wedding?

• Customer focus, I'm here to shoot your wedding photographs to your requirements. I change what I do to fit your needs and never the other way around. Once size doesn't fit all and while I'm able to guide you should you want advice, I'm also able to listen!

• Attention to detail, I typically spend at least a week on each wedding I shoot with planning, preparation, shooting and post production. The actual wedding day is just the tip of the iceberg.

• Clarity, Your are provided with a contract which sets down exactly what you can expect to receive in order to protect you.

• pre-wedding photography session so you can get used to and become comfortable with me.

• Equipment, while equipment is just a tool, I invest heavily in equipment and every essential piece of equipment is backed up by a spare.

• Interactivity and personalisation, against the industry norm you can choose your own pictures for your album and then you are invited to make design changes to the album design so that it is customised to your individual tastes. Many photographers simply choose for you!

Winter, Wet and 'After Dark' Weddings

Winter and wet weddings require a specialist skill set  that not all photographers possess. In many cases it is necessary to supplement the available light which many wedding photographers try to avoid.

With my own little studio working with artificial light is second nature to me and I am equipped with both a portable  flash system and a more heavy duty studio flash system for lighting larger areas.

I also have a specialist low light camera system which is the perfect tool for winter weddings.

Location

I cover areas in Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey and London, travelling within about an hour of Farnborough. I can also cover your wedding abroad within the European Union providing travel, food and hotel costs are covered.

How to Book

If you are able I always suggest you come and meet me prior to booking in order to see work in print and just meet me in person and give me a better understanding about what you would like to get out of your wedding photographs.

If you live far away and are unable to come and visit me prior to your wedding, please feel free to request a contract or even arrange a chat over Skype so you can ask any questions and tell me what you would like to get out of your wedding photography.
