Wedding Photography for Awesome People

A guide

YOUR STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO AWESOME PHOTOGRAPHY

You'vre looking for a Midlands photographer but they all just look the same! How do you choose who you're going to spend your day with? It's baffling. Here, I try and make it a little simpler. This is my guide on what to expect - no matter how nervous wedding planning can be, I'll be with you every step of the way.

HOW DOES PRICING WORK?

I've a fairly simple structure - I'm not going to push you complicated packages with USBs (have you ever tried to plug them into an iPad?) or a massive canvas that dwarfs your flat. I'm a storyteller at heart, so I'd prefer to hear about the story you want your photos to tell. Then, I can recommend something that's right for you, rather than you pay over the odds for something you're not sure about.

To give you a guide, think about your day. Does it starts with drinks with the girls in the morning and your dad seeing the dress for the first time, or when you walk down the aisle? Does it end with the cutting of the cake, or when your nan flosses on the dance floor?

There are four different stories here. The Short Story usually involves the ceremony and family photos afterwards. The Classic Story involves speeches, food (and crying!). The Full Story is one that lasts all day, and The Complete Story lasts into the night.

Prices start from £500 and average between £1000 to £1,500 - but your story is yours. Whether you're looking for a photographer in the Midlands or nationwide, get in touch for your own quote.

My Favourite Wedding Joke

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Paul. My full name is actually ‘Paul, would-you-like-a-drink.’

For those of you who I chat with at the bar after I finish taking photographs, I’d appreciate it if you could use my full name. Thanks.
