Please email me for an up to date brochure and detailed package costs. There are numerous combinations which can suit the budget of everyone. Sean@seansphotography.co.uk
Set package costs start at £500, which would be suitable for a small Registry wedding, and extend to £2350.
The cost of wedding photography varies greatly depending on what is actually wanted. However, I have put together some packages, which I hope meets the needs of most. Nothing is set in stone, as every wedding is unique and everyone has different requirements - so you can have what ever you want !
I have also added a number of supplementary items at the end of the packages, which gives an example of some additional costs, if required.
The 'Timing Advice' is very useful as it gives some sound information that will really help in planning your very special day.
I have also included some other attachments which I know will prove very useful.
There is a good link to the SWPP site which is very useful for all aspects of wedding organising & good tips. www.swpp.co.uk/wedding_photography/
After the wedding your images are reviewed, edited and any digital manipulation carried out. Sean will then aim to have your private (password protected) 'online gallery' & ordering service up and running within 5 working days of the wedding. This will give you the opportunity to view your images whilst on honeymoon. Details of how to access the ‘online album’ will be left with your guests at the wedding. Availability to view your gallery will not be given without your prior permission. The online gallery will be available to view for at least six months and will not be removed without prior consultation.
Sean starts your photography at the venue where the bride is getting ready, approximately two hours prior to the service. Depending on the package required, he could then be at your reception during the speeches and then the evening festivities. He does not clock watch but if you have something special arranged (i.e. firework display), let him know so that he can capture it.
Whatever service you require it includes a full personal consultation. If it is felt necessary, then a visit to the wedding venues can be made together so that photographic opportunities can be explored. It is also most important that both he and the bridal couple get to know each other as a great deal of the day will be spent together. Sean truly believes that your day must be full of fun and he will endeavour to add to that with his sense of humour and enthusiasm whilst capturing those very special moments.
During your pre wedding consultation he will discuss the timing of the day. Remember with any winter weddings that daylight closes in earlier, and this may have a bearing on post service photographs. Pay particular attention to the ‘Timing Advice' he has available. Having attended hundreds of weddings, you can be assured that this will really assist in making your special day run smoothly. Your day and your wedding photography will be much more relaxed and memorable if you space things out and allow yourself to enjoy every aspect of the day, including your unrushed photo shoot.
The following is only a guide to assist you in organising the timing of your day. The main thing to remember is that you & your family should enjoy the day without rushing, and be able to do all the things you have planned without any hassle. From my point of view, if you have given yourself plenty of time you will have ALL the photographs you require and more!
Remember the time of year. If it’s a winter wedding and it starts late, then your photos may have to be taken in the dark or indoors with flash light.
Normally I attend the bride’s home prior to the wedding service. Therefore, she should aim to be ready approximately an hour and a half prior to leaving for the church. This is essential. The aim should be to have her hair, nails & makeup completed and be dressed by this time. Flowers should also be delivered by this time. If in the event that there are any delays, then there will still be time for photographs. If this time is reduced and then there is an unexpected delay, the photo opportunities may be lost as you will still have to leave for the service at the right time!
Check with the church as to whether or not they allow photographs during the service.
At the conclusion of the service allow about 15 minutes to leave the church (depending on number of guests). Family and friends will want to offer their congratulations, which takes time.
Allow at least 45 minutes for the formal group photographs outside the church. This usually takes a lot less time than that, but allow 45 minutes.
Enquire if photographs can be taken inside the church after the service in case of inclement weather.
Then allow 15-20 minutes for personal photos of the bride/groom. If these are to be done at another location other than at the church, allow for the travelling time.
Remember travelling time from church or photo location to the reception.
Allow about 45/60 minutes at reception for various other photographs, further groups, personal shots and posed ‘cutting the cake’. (Also some socialising)
If there is a receiving line then about 20-30 minutes should be allocated (depending on the number of guests) for this to be completed. They all wish to say hello shake hands & kiss!
These suggested approximate time allowances will play a vital role in the wedding itinerary and help to achieve a realistic time for the wedding meal.
To be entrusted as your wedding photographer I take responsibility of sharing both knowledge and experience gained from many weddings over the years. I respectfully offer advice to help guide their aspirations for their special day to ensure that the memories and atmosphere are captured as true as the day itself and the whole experience to be a most enjoyable one.
I hope this helps in some way.
