My Style
I have an unobtrusive approach allowing me to photograph natural and spontaneous moments as they happen without your guests even noticing me. My focus is not on the 'arty' shots instead I am passionate about photographing all the genuine natural and spontaneous wedding day moments - from the special looks and smiles of the happy couple to the emotion and laughter of the adults to the fun and cheekiness of the children! All these photographs when looked at together will tell a great story of the day and give fabulous memories for years to come.
Meeting Up
It is important for me to get to know my wedding couples in advance of the big day which is why we always have a meeting at the venue(s) to discuss your wedding plans, get to know each other and understand how I work so we all feel comfortable together. During the session I share my experience and advice regarding wedding photography so the day can be planned out to run smoothly.
Preparation For Your Wedding Day
When it comes to wedding photography I have a strong belief in planning for success. As a result I work closely with both of you on a wedding schedule and timings of the day to ensure every detail is covered. A photography schedule is then issued showing the timings of the day along with how any specific photographs fit in. This way we all know what to expect on the day thus allowing you to relax and focus on your celebrations knowing that I have everything under control.
Areas I Cover
As a Harrogate based wedding photographer I am perfectly located to travel and provide wedding photography at many great venues and locations locally and across the Yorkshire area. I have photographed weddings at many Yorkshire locations including the following venues: Rudding Park, Ripley Castle, Swinton Park, Goldsborough Hall, Woodhall Hotel, Newby Hall, Yorebridge House, Allerton Castle, Fountains Abbey and the Sun Pavilions.
Digital Images
Your digital wedding images are individually balanced and edited before being supplied on a USB memory stick as high resolution print ready photographs. A colour and black & white set is included. You can use these digital images to print as many copies as you like, share with friends and family or create your own wedding album or printed photo book.
Printed Wedding Albums
Printed Wedding Albums - My gorgeous hand made printed wedding albums are from www.folioalbums.com with samples available to see. After your wedding I spend time selecting and editing the best digital photographs from the day then all you have to do is select your favourites to be printed in your wedding album. Using these favourite images I design each page layout and the order of the photographs that results in a beautiful story of your special day. Once you have approved the layout and design (digital proofs of each page are emailed to you) your hand made printed wedding album is produced.
Printed album samples are available to see and if you would like more information on the above packages or would like to discuss a more bespoke wedding photography service please email or call me for a chat.
Extras are also available and these range from coffee table photo books, parent books, canvases, photo blocks and framed storyboards.
" We would like to say a massive thank you for our wedding photographs which are absolutely fantastic and I must say they are even better than we imagined they would be! We had such a great day and thank you for making everyone feel so relaxed during the family shots in which you really captured the atmosphere of the day. You'd better get ready for the Christening!! "
- Kiera & Shaun
" Thank you for the wonderful album to help us remember our special day. We really enjoyed the fact that you were relaxed and unobtrusive when taking the photos during the day so we could concentrate on seeing friends and family and enjoying our wedding. We are really please with how the printed album looks, the quality of the photos, layout and finish is excellent."
- Emma & Tom
