Relaxed. Natural. Candid. Timeless. All those little moments of an amazing day!
And no one understands better than me that every wedding is totally different and has it’s own unique little moments. And that is because I’ve been photographing weddings for more than three decades. I’ve TWICE been Documentary Wedding Photographer of the Year. And I love everything about it!!
With more than 35 years of weddings under my belt I kind-of know what you want. So I don’t offer fixed ‘packages’ or weird collections that look really cheap….. and then you realise that the digital files aren’t included.
Nor a wedding album.
And it all starts looking like a bit more money than you were led to believe!
My Wedding Collection is just one option and includes all of the things that I know you want INCLUDING all of your high resolution digital files with a full print release, a super easy download and ordering system for the rest of the family and all of your guests AND a beautiful, bespoke Italian Wedding Album.
The only ‘extra’ is mileage (tell me where you’re getting married and I’ll give you a bespoke quotation)
Please note that – from Summer 2023 – I will only be accepting bookings for Small and Intimate Weddings (less than 35 guests) and Elopements.
If this means that I’m NOT the Wedding Photographer for you but would still love some help please pop over to the Bee Blog and check out SEVEN THINGS TO CHECK WHEN CHOOSING A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
THE ANNIE BEE INTIMATE WEDDING AND ELOPEMENT COLLECTION – £1695
INCLUDED AS STANDARD
1. All the important bits. Four hours coverage at whatever time of day you want (usually I start an hour before the ceremony, but it’s entirely up to you!)
2. All of your images, beautifully edited, available to view afterwards in your own private, password protected album on the Annie Bee website.
3. Online ordering system for guests and family (sorting out reprints for everyone is the LAST thing you want when you get back off Honeymoon!)
4. Your choice of images presented in a bespoke*, luxury 60 page wedding album printed and hand bound in Italy in your choice of fabric.
5. All of your images as high resolution digital files on a luxury USB.
Additional Extras – Travel Time and Mileage charged at 95ppm from NN6 8DS.
Optional Extras – Parents Albums, Prints, Beautiful Wall Art – the world is your oyster! Extras Lovely Things can be ordered at any time for 12 months AFTER your wedding day.
Because we have a LOT more time on an engagement shoot than on a wedding day I can teach you how to walk. And kiss. And to ‘Do The Dip’!!
Your session comes with 5 included digital files and a beautiful Fine Art print, framed at 16×12 and ready to hang. However – if you subsequently decide to book your wedding with me then this will be upgraded to an ‘All Images’ collection (worth £299) You will receive EVERY image that we make between us with full printing rights to use however you would love! So perfect for your Save the Date cards. Or decorating the venue.
Or – do something super lovely!! We can lay then out in a beautifully bound album using high grade Tintoretto paper which will also take ink. A beautiful place for all your guests to write their messages on the day!
OTHER THINGS COUPLES ALWAYS ASK
Can we order other things?
Parents Albums. Framed Images. Canvases. Acrylics. Aluminum Wall Pieces. Traditionally framed wall art for Grandma. Desk prints for Bridesmaids and Ushers as a ‘Thank You’. Absolutely anything! Other lovely things don’t form part of your wedding contract so you are free to purchase from the entire A La Carte range at any time.
Do you charge more for Sunday weddings or Bank Holidays?
No. A wedding is a wedding! There is no extra work just because you are getting married on a Bank Holiday Monday than if you were getting married on a Wednesday afternoon!!
When do we have to pay?
A booking fee of £300 is payable when I write you in my diary. This is unfortunately not refundable as it secures your date. That said – if you do need to change the date of your wedding for some reason totally unforeseen when you originally booked – then it IS transferable to another date subject to me being available.
The remaining balance is payable one month before the Big Day.
What if we have paid a £300 deposit and then have to cancel or re-arrange our wedding due to another Lockdown?
None of us saw 2020 coming and I spent the entire Lockdown dealing with distraught Brides – some of them rearranging weddings not once but FOUR TIMES.
Although your £300 wedding deposit is ‘non-refundable’ this is only because it secures your date in my diary and means I have to turn other couples away.
If we are locked down I wouldn’t have been able to photograph the wedding of one of those other couples either!
So – if you are forced to cancel due to lockdown and decide either not to go ahead or if I have no availability for your new date – then your ‘non-refundable’ deposit is repaid in full.
Please note that – as happened in 2020 and 2021 – I will temporarily CLOSE my wedding diary until all of my existing brides have re-arranged weddings to ensure that you have your pick of dates.
Will your prices go up by the time we get married?
Probably.
The world is changing rapidly at the moment. My beautiful wedding albums are hand made in Italy for you – and post Brexit this in itself is proving ‘interesting’. Fuel prices are all over the place …. so even the cost of me getting to you on the day is becoming impossible to predict!
But – rest assured – once you are in my diary then your price is fixed. So – if you book in 2024 for 2025 then you will be charged at my 2024 prices regardless of what is happening in the world!
We are eloping!
That is BEYOND exciting and you need to take me with you! Tell me what is happening and we’ll hatch a plan!
In fact – no matter WHAT you are doing – you need to talk to me.
The most important decision you need to make – admittedly AFTER deciding who you want to marry – is whether or not you LIKE the person who is going to photograph your wedding.
Your wedding photographer is with you ALL DAY. And not just ‘all day’ -but all day on the most important day of your life when – quite honestly – you are probably going to be emotional, teary, nervous, excited, euphoric , and just about every other high-octane emotion you can think of. The last thing you need around you is someone who is not quite on your wavelength.
