Weddings

My wedding photography

A marriage is about two people coming together to celebrate and declare their love for each other forever. Wedding days come in in all shapes and sizes and we work hard to capture the day, as unobtrusively as possible, to create a collection of photographs that document the day with candid captures as well as traditional formal portraits. No matter the size we have a tailored service for you.

I work with clients through the build-up to your wedding day with an engagement or pre-wedding shoot, and discovery meetings, where style and specifics are discussed. Nothing is left to chance so that on the big day you can relax in the knowledge that we will be there to capture it all.

Amazing! Dave did a better job than we could ever have wished for! Extremely professional and extremely talented. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Style

While every wedding is different there are always similar elements to each. Many couples are opting for less formal posed shots and going for a more relaxed, documentary of candid style for their weddings. I blend the two together.

Throughout your day I try to remain as unobtrusive as possible and aim to capture the day as it unfolds with all the love, joy and emotion that it brings. Yes, there are the formal poses and groups shots, but they are often expected as much by the wedding party and guests as they are the couple getting married.

Investment

Every photographer has their own style and finding the one with the style you want but also one that you get along with and can trust is a process that is worth investing your time in. Your investment in the lasting memories of your special day is an important one and not to be taken lightly. We offer a simple pricing model which empowers you to make the right investment in your wedding photography.

Questions you may have

Feel free to get in touch with any questions you may have. here are some of the most common questions I receive.

HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?

Every wedding is different and therefore it’s impossible to put a limit on how many photos will be delivered from a wedding. At any job I undertake, I strive for quality over quantity and the best estimate for a full day of wedding coverage is between 300 and 500 photographs.

HOW LONG WILL YOU STAY AT OUR WEDDING?

All timings for your wedding day will have been discussed at our pre-wedding consultation. For a full day, I arrive for the bridal preparations and typically leave sometime after your first dance. But I am flexible to your requirements so I’ll never quote a set number of hours and nor will I ever charge extra once a certain time is reached. I have a single package that is all day and all your wedding captured.

WHAT ARE THE TIMESCALES FOR RECEIVING OUR WEDDING PHOTOS?

Typically I will send you some sneak peeks within the first week after your wedding day for you to share with family and friends. Your whole collection of expertly finished wedding photographs will be ready around 4 weeks after the big day.

HOW FAR DO YOU TRAVEL?

I typically photograph North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire weddings. Common places for me to work are Helmsley, Pickering, Malton, Kirkbymoorside, Hovingham, Scarborough, Thirsk and many other places.

I have no limit on how far I travel to cover a wedding. The prices quoted above includes my travel up to 100 miles from my base in the YO62 area which means I cover a hug area. Travel above 100 miles is charged at 45p per mile plus any expenses.

WHEN DO WE PAY FOR OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY?

Again, we keep it simple. When you have decided to engage me as your wedding photographer we’ll sign a contract of service and there’s a non-refundable 20% booking fee payable. The remaining balance is due 14 days prior to your wedding day

HOW DO WE PAY FOR OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY?

You can pay for your wedding photography in a number of ways.

> Cash (yes, it still exists)

> Bank transfer

> Credit/Debit card (I send you a link to pay securely through Stripe)

ARE YOU INSURED?

Yes, I have full public liability insurance cover

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE NEED TO REARRANGE OR CANCEL?

The booking fee is non-refundable in the event of cancellation. In the event that you need to change the date of your wedding then providing I am free on the new date then the booking will be transferred, if I am not free it will be treated as a cancellation.

CAN WE PRINT OUR WEDDING PHOTOS?

Absolutely! Your presentation media contains all your edited wedding photographs in full, printable, resolution. I also include a print license in case your lab requires it.
