questions you should ask your wedding photographer
Choosing a wedding photographer can seem a daunting task, that's why we have tried to answer as many of the frequently asked questions here. However if you can't find the answer here please get in touch. The easiest way is to click on the booking enquires/comments page
This may seem like a strange question to ask but there are hundreds of individuals who have bought a camera and think they can earn some of your money at the weekend by pretending to be professional wedding photographers. Love & Bride are absolutely full time professional wedding photographers with years of experience.
What style of wedding photography do you do?
We don't believe in labels, we simply take great pictures of your wedding to tell the story of your day this involves a mixture of traditional and contemporary, photojournalism or reportage.
When are payments for our wedding photography due?
Once you have decided to use our services and established that we are available a £250 deposit is due. This effectively books the day exclusively for your wedding. The remaining amount due is payable 4 weeks prior to the wedding itself.
Payment can be by cash, cheque, credit or debit card.
Why are some photographers more expensive and some cheaper than you?
We believe that we offer the best value in the business in terms of service, photography and products. Having said that we realise that others are charging as little as £300 whilst others are cost many thousands. So whats the reasons, firstly ask what is included and what are extras. With Love & Bride pretty much everything is included with other firms you have to choose from complicated packages which means that the cheapest can end up the most expensive.
What if I require services not included in the options?
Our options are based upon our most requested services. However we are completely flexible, simply e-mail us with your requirements and we will customise a package for you.
How do we know exactly what to expect from you as wedding photographers?
Before you spend one penny with us you will receive our wedding agreement, which sets out our obligations to you and indeed yours to us.
What wedding album suppliers do you use?
We provide the latest magazine style coffee table album. These albums are the best quality available and of course samples will be available for viewing. Traditional "matted" albums available on request
Some photographers state that no-one else can take photographs at our wedding.
We welcome your friends and family taking pictures, all we would ask is that they respect the fact that you have employed us to capture your special day and when asked let us get on with that job.
What area do you cover?
We are based in South Cheshire and will travel anywhere in the North West, including Merseyside, North Wales, Cumbria, West Midlands and Manchester at no extra expense. This year we have already shot weddings in Crewe, Cumbria, Altrincham, Wilmslow,Shropshire, Nantwich, Bolton and Liverpool. For weddings outside of this region but within the UK mainland simply add £150. For Europe add £1000 and for anywhere else in the world add £2000
How many wedding photographs will you take?
Usually around 1000 images, however as perfectionists only the very best of these will make the grade and on average approximately 150-250 will be available for proofing.
Do you retouch the photographs?
Absolutely, all of the images taken will be subject to the most rigorous checks and where necessary will be adjusted to ensure everyone is seen in the best light.
Can we request specific shots of the wedding?
Of course, prior to the event we will meet up and discuss the “must have” pictures.
How soon will the photographs be ready?
If you wish some photographs can be shown as a slide show at your reception! Of course the finished images take a little longer but should be available within just 3 days.
Can you provide black and white images?
Absolutely, we will provide any of the images as either black and white, colour or a mixture of both.
What guarantee do you provide?
We are so confident that you will love the service and products we provide, we promise if you are not happy in anyway you will get a full refund and no questions asked. Now how many other photographers can say that?
Weddings are a nightmare to organise I simply don’t have the time or expertise to decide on what are the best services available.
