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 £200 booking fee is paid. It comes off your package price - the first slice of the total, not an extra.
- Then we will need to sign a contract.
- About a month before the wedding we send a pre-wedding questionnaire: locations, key contacts, timings, group photos list, etc.
- 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 balance is due one month before the wedding - your package price less the booking fee you’ve already paid.
- Then comes the wedding day. We turn up early, both of us, and quietly capture the day as it unfolds.
- We come home with a memory card the size of the British Library and back everything up straight away. The next day we send you a sneak peek - a set of 40-60 of our favourites, so you have something to enjoy and share while we work on the rest.
- Then comes the slower work of editing: culling, retouching, editing video and finishing the full set.
- 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 album questionnaire - a few questions about your album preferences: cover material, image preferences, anything specific you want included.
- 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.
