CONGRATULATIONS!!
May I first congratulate you both on your forthcoming marriage and hope that I can contribute towards making your day special.

Planning your wedding photography:

• Communication
  Communication is the key to obtaining the best photographs for your wedding. I am increasingly being asked for a more reportage/story book style in wedding photography incorporating black & white and in a more candid manner. I am always happy to discuss your individual requirements in detail by prior arrangement, when I can show you a portfolio & sample wedding albums.
  
  
• The Coverage
  The coverage for Gold /Silver service would normally begin with an informal pre-wedding picture of Bride & Groom to start the album. This could be taken 3-4 weeks before the actual ceremony and normally works better in Black & White.
  
  On the actual day a visit to the Bride's leaving address possibly up to 2 hours before the ceremony to take any 'candids' during the last minute preparations as well as the more formal shots - then off to the church / venue, probably a good 40 minutes before the bride leaves home, to photograph Groom, Best Man and Leading Players - Bride's arrival at the church / venue and the ceremony (if permitted) including the signing of the register.
  
  Then the main wedding photographs taken in the location previously discussed with you. This could be at the church / venue, local park, reception or indeed a mixture of all three.
  
  
• Reception
  Normally at the reception I would ask you to perform an early false cutting of the cake for photographic purposes as well as champagne toasts etc., unless you require my presence further.
  
  There is no set limit to the number of pictures taken (on average I would take in excess of 150 shots).
  
  
• After the wedding proofs
  Your proofs will be ready in approximately 12-14 days after the wedding date (or sooner by arrangement).
  
  You can then choose your selection of 50 prints (I will be happy to advise) to be included in your album. Parents' albums, Guests' albums and individual photographs can be ordered at the same time, and there is no time limit on selection (the average is 4-6 weeks).
