Weddings

An alternative & backup wedding photography service

Regret, I am fully booked during 2012. Sorry

Weddings (and Receptions)

I am not normally what you would consider a traditional wedding style photographer - If you are looking for the usual wedding fodder, then until mid 2014, please look elsewhere, but, if you want someone to capture the essence of your wedding, the people who attend who always get missed, the funny or unusual moments which always occur, the different angles on the folk present, and the creative, then perhaps I might be able to help - I call this service "The Alternative Viewpoint".

As such, I should be considered a backup photographer, and will step in should your main photographer either not come up with the goods, or for some reason, not turn up at all - which sometimes happens. I also have basic video facilities available if your wedding venue allows such equipment to be used.

I can also arrange for/provide albums & prints if required, and might even be able to help you with the design of a unique and special invitation card should you require one in advance, if given sufficient time. Try me.

I currently have some calendar dates open for 2013 and beyond. Please contact me for details, and to discuss ideas. I am based in the Leicester area, but am prepared to travel if reasonable costs will be covered.

My trading basis, in this instance, for the UK, is that I charge travel by the mile, attendance by the hour, and a very low cost per print in comparison to the traditional folk. Images will be posted very quickly after the event in a gallery to which the customer has exclusive access, unless they choose to open up viewings by passing on the URL supplied. This will enable guests and others to also purchase images quickly after the event.

Before removal of the gallery (normally after 6 months from wedding date), I may also offer high quality based images burned to disc - then if you want additional enhancement work, cropping etc later on, again, I charge by the hour, but very reasonably.

With this work, I do not normally retain copies longer than 6 months after gallery takedown (1 year after event), so advise that you order as many discs as you want immediately post event. Discs will be supplied playable in UK DVD players, as well as in computers on request. In all cases on confirmation of booking, a release licence must be signed and a mutually agreeable, generally non refundable deposit paid. I will be posting a schedule of rates for the various wedding and events services before xmas 2012 on this page, but please bear with me whilst I bring the site up to what I want it to be. I am happy to accept enquiries and date reservations in the meantime without deposit being due until confirmed.

If you wish me to travel overseas, then tickets and accomodation must also be covered, plus a deposit of £500 or $1000 US must be paid.

A downloadable schedule of rates, and a booking form, will appear here before Christmas 2012.
