What We Do
Wedding Photography
Hi, I’m Craig and I’ll be your photographer for the day. I am a baldy, slightly chubby thirty-something father of two and husband of one with a passion for photography and a love of weddings.
Primarily I take photos. But being a wedding photographer is much more than that.
I tie ties, I carry flowers, I’m sometimes a taxi service, I pin on buttonholes, I open champagne, I hold mirrors, I provide tissues for tears, I make tea, I find lost parents/ bridesmaids/ best men/ grooms, I sew on buttons and even once made an emergency trip to Tesco to buy stockings.
I am there to help and as long as it doesn’t stop me doing the job you are paying me for then I am only too happy to. I should be one of the most experienced people you will meet on the big day so feel free to ask for advice or assistance. I will be there all day from when you have your rollers in until your guests start getting rowdy. Like a photo ninja I will be always around but not always visible, catching shots of people just being people and capturing the true emotions of your day.
We still have to do the group shots of course. Some photographers shy away from group shots; not me, I am fearless.
I hope you will find me easy to get on with. I have been told I can be a calming influence. If I get a bit too cheeky then don’t hesitate to put me in my place.
Just so you know, one of my recent clients, as well as paying me (which is always appreciated) also gave me a bottle of champagne and some delicious fudge so I must be doing something right. No pressure, but future clients may be interested to know that I also like Bushmills Irish Malt.
All clients get a complimentary pre-wedding shoot. This gives us a chance to get to know each other better and gives you the opportunity to get comfortable in front of the lens. This will be crucial in achieving relaxed, intimate shots on the big day.
We supply a variety of top quality albums and photobooks as well as DVD slideshows, digital files and a multitude of prints, glacier blocks, canvases etc. Just get in touch for an idea of costs and whatnot.
Whoever you chose to cover your wedding, have a great day and savour every moment as it seems to be over in a flash.
Lifestyle Portraiture
The most important thing is that it has to be fun.
Our people photography style is natural and relaxed, using available light (which is usually the sun) and whenever possible shot on location outdoors whether it be on the beach, in the forest or in the local park. Experience has taught us that some folk freeze in the studio, they feel self-consious and tense and this comes over in the images. Getting our clients outdoors, whatever the weather, lets us capture the relaxed shots which you will cherish, shots which display your character. We will let the kids do what comes naturally, climb trees, build sand castles, kick dry leaves… whatever they find fun. We are careful to catch as many of the fleeting, special moments as possible.
The same goes for the adults too; if you want to climb trees or kick leaves that’s fine with us and the resulting images will be stunning.
