£1,950: ten hours with one of us, from getting ready to the first dance
The full day
The package most couples choose: one of us, ten hours, from the morning of getting ready through the ceremony, the confetti, the drinks, the speeches and the first dance, with six hundred or more edited images in three weeks, a highlights set in a week, and an engagement shoot at £150 if you want one.
Ten hours covers nearly every wedding we shoot: arriving while the dress is still on the hanger and leaving after the first dance when the band has got going and the photographs stop changing. One of us, usually whoever you met, moving quietly through the day and photographing what is actually happening in it.
The morning is the part people are most glad to have: the dress buttoned by your mother, the groomsmen failing at a tie, the quiet five minutes before the car. We arrive about two hours before the ceremony, one of us with whoever is getting ready at the venue or the house, and then the ceremony itself from the back and the side, never from the aisle. Confetti is planned with the coordinator so it actually happens; drinks are an hour of candid work while you are talking to people; and the portraits are twenty minutes somewhere good at a time we have agreed, often two ten-minute goes so you are not away from the party.
Speeches are photographed from the faces listening as much as the person speaking, the cake and the first dance are covered, and we leave about an hour into the dancing when the pictures stop being different. Within a week you get a highlights set of sixty to tell people about; within three weeks the full gallery of six hundred or more edited images, online, downloadable at full resolution, with print rights, for two years. The engagement shoot is £150 with this package and worth doing for the practice of being photographed.

Questions about full day
What if the day runs over?
We stay for the first dance whatever the clock says; that is in the contract. Beyond that, extra hours are £150 and you decide on the day, not before.
Do you do group photographs?
Yes, if you want them: a short list of six to eight, done in ten minutes straight after the ceremony while everyone is together. More than that eats the drinks reception, and we will say so.
Check your date, then tell us about the day.
The availability page says which dates are already taken. If yours is free, the form takes two minutes, we reply within the working day, and a video call that week with a £400 deposit holds it. If it is gone, we will say so and suggest two photographers we would book ourselves.
