Here’s the whole process, from booking through to the album turning up at your door, in the order it actually happens.
- The first step is, of course, the booking. You drop us a line, we reply, we exchange a few emails, and you decide to go ahead. The date is held when the £100 deposit is paid.
- Then we will need to sign a contract.
- About a month before the wedding we send a short pre-wedding questionnaire: locations, key contacts, timings, and a couple of details about photo preferences. Quick to fill in but useful for us.
- We review your day’s timeline and come back with any questions or suggestions. We’ll flag anything that looks tight or anywhere we think the photos will benefit from a bit more breathing room.
- The second payment is due one month before the wedding.
- Then comes the wedding day. We turn up early, both of us, and quietly capture the day as it unfolds.
- After the wedding we start editing. We come home with a memory card the size of the British Library, back everything up immediately, and then start the slower work of culling, editing and retouching.
- When editing is done we send you a link to your private online gallery. You can view, share and download from there. We’ll ask if you want it set to public or private. If your package doesn’t include an album, this is the big moment - your wedding day, captured and ready to relive again and again.
If your package includes an album
- We send our after-wedding questionnaire - a few questions about your album preferences: cover material, image preferences, anything specific you want included.
- The final payment, the closing £100, falls due at this stage.
- We design your album and send you the layout for approval.
- You can request amendments to the album - swapping an image, reordering pages, anything sensible.
- Once you’re happy, we submit to the print lab. Manufacture and shipping can take up to two months.
- Then the final delivery: the album, USB and any extras come to you in one package.
If anything in this process is unclear or you want to adjust any step, just ask.
