Caer Llan Wedding Venue Wedding Photography Collections

Wedding albums / prints etc are INCLUDED as per the pricing page.  Nothing extra to purchase.

Basically a couple shoot, of bring the family along as well.  I like to get to know my couples more than the majority of wedding photographers!  You get the edited images we make a connection that helps me get the best wedding photographs for you.  It’s included in the price. 

Nope, except for Scotland and Northern Ireland, the price you see is the price you pay. You want easy budgeting…I want easy accounting!

I will take approximately 1000 photographs during 12 hours. Could be a few more; could be a few less. I don’t tend to just keep the shutter pressed down and hope for the best. You will receive a minimum of 450 of your fully edited and retouched wedding photographs that tell the story your wedding day.

I don’t have time limits! We can sort out the exact timings when we meet to discuss your wedding in more detail. As you can imagine I have a lot of experience at weddings and would be more than happy to help you plan your perfect day and suggest various trusted suppliers I work with regularly.

I use professional Fuji cameras – Fuji XT3’s.  They are equipped with battery grips giving me extra long shooting before needing to replace batteries. Along with that, I have a variety of professional-level lenses as well as extensive lighting equipment to allow me to photograph your wedding regardless of the weather conditions (that is if you don’t mind the weather conditions!)

Currently yes. I do coach and mentor around 50 other wedding photographers at various stages of their professional careers.  I may bring one of those along with me.  Any images they take, that are good enough, will be passed to you.

Yes, professional and public liability insurance. Don’t book a supplier without insurance. Please ask if you wish confirmation of my insurance.

By the way – you should also get insurance for your wedding!

An ‘edited’ photograph is one that has been colour corrected, exposure corrected and possibly cropped to a more pleasing angle.

A ‘retouched’ wedding photograph is one that has had some extra special treatment applied such as skin smoothing, eye whitening, sky adjustments etc. All of my wedding photographs are fully retouched.

Some get an extra special ‘sauce’ added to them so they stand out even more.

Not for the online gallery.  I will remove them (if they are VERY easy to remove) from the album photographs once you have finalised the album design and layout.  

Yes, I understand the photographs are “yours” (although technically the copyright belongs to me and you get a licence to print them) in return the tattoos and piercings are also yours. I realise that may sound harsh/tough/snotty/stuck up etc.  I factor into my wedding prices everything very carefully and that sadly doesn’t include the extra time to remove tattoos or piercings etc.

I will remove all the tattoos for an extra fee – I charge £65 per hour for Photoshop retouching which will be around 5 images depending on the editing required.

Nope. You are what you are.  If you have just had a baby I would remove a few lbs here and there to put you back to your normal size and shape.  

If you have a shaving rash I’ll do what I can.  If you get cold sores or stress spots I’ll remove those.

I also won’t remove tattoos (see above) or edit out piercings unless by prior written consent or by payment to retouch the photographs.

In short, I won’t do digital cosmetic surgery.

I use a company called nPhoto who are based in Poland. 

They use a High Definition printer by Canon – The Dream Labo

Once you have sent me the photographs you want in…

• About 3 weeks for the first design
• 8 – 10 weeks from sign off to delivery with me
• Delivery with you depends on you…

Yup.  

Your contact will say how may pages/images you can have and will also have a section on costs for more pages/images and albums.

My booking fee is £300 and is payable within 5 days of you saying you would like to book me.  After that 5 day period, I reserve the right to offer the date to other interested couples.

I’ll send a reminder or two, and after that, I will quietly remove your wedding from my books.  it is YOUR responsibility to pay the booking fee, not mine to chase you.

The balance of your wedding photography has to be paid within 4 weeks of your wedding date.  I will send out an invoice around the 8-week point and remind you at the six-week point and then again at the four-week point.  

Failure to pay the balance may result in me not turning up and may result in small claims action against you.

If you are having financial issues (and let’s face it – weddings are expensive) please let me know, I’ll be able to help.

Communicate.  Communicate.  Communicate.

We all have some time in our lives when the finances don’t work the way we want and planning/paying for weddings is one of those moments! 

Just get in touch and we can work something out. 

Yes, I really won’t turn up.  

I’m a full-time professional photographer.  

This pays my mortgage.  Puts food on my table.  Buys me Jaffa Cakes.

I won’t work for free unless by a prior written arrangement.

Yes – just drop me a note and I’ll send an invoice over to you for the amount you want to pay. (You may have to nag me to remind to send the invoice though!).

I accept Cheques, Cash (you WILL get a receipt), PayPal and Bank Transfer or credit/debit cards.  I send electronic invoices out that are uniquely numbered for reference.

You can pay the invoice by clicking the link or arranging a bank transfer – my bank details are on the invoice.
