Wedding Packages?

Vanessa is brilliant!

We have always had a variety of photography packages for our wedding couples to choose from. They are intended to help them chose their photography coverage. There are so many possible combinations of albums, coverage hours, and services it sometimes felt like we were pushing our couples towards an existing package.

So…what was Vanessa’s brilliant idea?

 The Foreverly Wedding Photography Planning Calculator!    

 

New for 2012 - Vanessa developed this easy to use, self explanatory, custom calculator. It gives our couples the control to plan their photography coverage. You plan the length of the coverage, the type and size of the album and how many photographers to cover the day. Input that information and it will give you the cost of the wedding photography coverage you want.

We are always available to help you tweak package if need be to further maximize your budget.

Albums Are Keepsakes!!

Wedding Albums are so much more than a picture album. They are keepsakes, a treasured reminder of a significant moment in time. A record of when your life was irrevocably changed forever! They are more than “Albums” more than just a collection of snapshots.

A Wedding Album is a keepsake from your Wedding Day! Something unlike anything else from your special day as it lives on. The cake is gone, the flowers are gone and someone else is riding in that limo!  A physical thing you can touch, hold and share.

Vanessa and I design and craft each album and they are as unique as the couple we create it for.  It is with a great deal of pride and responsibility we shoot every wedding. We are documenting our couples story, an end to being single and the beginning of a new family. The keepsake is the story telling with pictures rather than words of that all important day.  We take that role very seriously and no matter whether our couple is ordering an album or not our approach doesn’t change nor does the level of coverage our couples get. 

There are other times in our lives that are just as important. Births, Renewal of vows or commitments, Christening and Blessing ceremonies or any moment really, as everyday is special as it only ever happens once.

We feel those special times deserve keepsakes as well.  We also know that during this economic climate that every penny is important so we are prepared to do more than just talk about it!

For a limited time we are offering a 6x6 album with 20 sides for £160 or a 6x8 album with 20 sides for £185! If you are already a Foreverly Client we can use the images we have already captured for you if you are a new client we will offer the photo shoot at substantial savings!! 

They are top quality albums produced by a quality manufacturer,  made of quality materials and we wouldn’t recommend anything that didn’t meet our standards! 

There are of course other sizes as well as types of paper and covers available for you to choose from.

Having the high resolution disc is great but for a few £’s more you can have a keepsake of that day in your life that only happens once!

The following photographs are of the 6x6 album and a larger size album and are the albums on offer!

Why hire a Pro when a friend offers to shoot your wedding for free?

 

It is an interesting question isn’t it?

We hear often enough that” a friend of a friend wants to become a professional photographer so they have said they will shoot our wedding for free!”

They want to build up their portfolio with images so they offer to photograph your wedding for free! In other words they want to practice being a wedding photographer at your wedding and at your expense.

So why should you pay a professional for something that you can get someone else to do for free?

We have had numerous phone calls from Brides in tears because their wedding images are horrible, out of focus, shadows cast across faces, heads cut off and the shot that was never even taken. They all want to know if we can fix it?  Sometimes we can,  but Photoshop work is very expensive.

While the marriage of the couple is very important, the people that were special enough to be invited are also important.  What of the guests that travelled such a long way to be a part of this special day? Most weddings turn into family gatherings, often family members haven’t seen each other since the last family wedding. Those are opportunities lost if care isn’t taken to document them properly.

When I think of the important events in my life, my wedding day is way up at the top of the list. It is a day I cherish and remember and look back on when days aren’t so bright and sunny, maybe when I am feeling a little down. Same with the pictures of my children. I want images that will stand on their own, not requiring a lot of colorful editing to hide all the mistakes that were made. I want images that are created and made by someone who works at his or her craft not just plays at it.

One thing I often wonder about is what do you do when someone who isn’t a professional ruins your wedding photographs? Not much you can do  from what I can gather. You can’t “recreate” the day. Do you even tell the person? More than likely it’s something you will never forget about and it will always be a negative experience that represents your wedding day.

What about the digital retouching? Are they working with calibrated monitor’s? Do they have the right software in order to do even the most basic of color correction? As with film, digital files need to be processed. They don’t come out of the camera a finished product they need attention just like film did.

As someone who has photographed 100’s of weddings I have the experience and the equipment to handle anything that a wedding day can throw at me.

When you look back at the photographs that are meant to last your life time,  meant to be shared with your children and their children and all you really have to remind you of just how beautiful the day was will it be worth it then? 

One thing is for certain just because a professional wedding photographer makes it look easy doesn’t mean it is.
