For your Information
Our Philosophy … Is to bring photography magic to your wedding …!
Registered Master Photographers Bob and Fran will use their award winning skills, experience and talent to produce an authentic photo-essay of your complete day, from preparations to first dance (or fireworks), combining the best of romantic, elegant and beautiful portraiture, (a few) family formals, details and lots of carefully observed “moments” in a fun, natural and non-invasive manner … that will capture the spirit of your day and tell an emotionally powerful story.
Our care and expertise will ensure that your images have depth, an extra dimension, genuine feeling and real connection … more than just a record …. our promise is that you will actually re-experience the emotions of your wedding every time you look at your album, whether that’s in 25 days or 25 years time.
You will receive much, much more than just “ordinary” wedding photography ….. guaranteed ! One of the compliments that we receive often is that we’ve managed to make our couples look like they’ve stepped out of a magazine.
So, who are Rob and Fran?
We are a full-time permanent studio based in the beautiful village of Tintern (close by the abbey) in Monmouthshire (in the middle of everywhere!).
We are happy to work almost anywhere in the UK … wherever your wedding takes place we can be there for you!
Our service and total wedding experience is second to none … to successfully capture the emotion of your wedding we try to get to know you both quite well … we normally meet a number of times prior to your wedding and if at all possible one of these should be at the venue where we like to have a short “coaching” session.
We are more than happy to take a few pictures of you both so that you know you will look fabulous before you book us.
On the day itself Bob goes with the boys and Fran the girls capturing all those little moments as they unfold until the ceremony when Bob will shoot from the front and Fran the back … this gives you two angles of capture nearly all day, which makes for a much more interesting story and is completely non-invasive.
The only time that your guests will be aware of our presence is when we shoot the (few) family formals. We specialize in a natural coverage with a small amount of “styling” where appropriate.
Our coverage is available right the way through the speeches and into the evening dancing and fireworks if you have them.
We believe that the story of your whole day is important and this will become evident when you look at our finished albums, whether traditional or story-book.
Our service extends well beyond the wedding as we will sit with you as you go through the images making your choices and make suggestions as to which images build the story and how it all hangs together.
Then we will design your album and proof it to you including all our post-production and artistic treatment of your images …..
After your viewing all of the images can be uploaded to our secure “buy-on-line” server for three months. We can provide your Thank-you cards with your gallery address, login and password printed on the reverse.
Then you can sit back and anticipate an AMAZING album that will bring back the emotion of the day every time you look at it.
We strongly recommend that you come to our studios and view some “real” wedding albums, only then can you see the quality of our work and just how different we really are ….
And what does it cost?
The selection of your wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you will make for your wedding.
Our philosophy is simple we have a completely tailorable service, after all we are working for you, not the other way round! We offer you 2 photographer coverage and stunning pictures of your dream day, with no compromises, no hidden extras … … Just the very BEST we can do for you!
We offer two levels of service coverage up to 5 hours at and “all day” from preparations to first dance or fireworks. There are also various different album styles, parent books, pocket books, wall canvasses, montages, hi-res DVD, DVD slide shows …. it’s a long list, but there is absolutely no obligation, you have exactly what you want.
For budgeting purposes our 2011 prices start from £1795 including high quality story-book album, your first sixty pictures, 30 thank-you cards and 3 months web-hosting of your viewing with ‘buy-on-line’ for your guests and relatives. We also have a range of top quality Queensberry albums if you prefer a more traditional album, in a host of covers available as an optional extra. We are also able to produce parent books, soft cover books, framed pictures for the wall, gallery wrap canvasses, DVDs … in fact virtually anything with an image on it. (We even have a tapestry with an image on it in the studio)!
We are very happy to provide a detailed quotation based on your exact requirements at our initial meeting. If when you see your pictures you wish to upgrade picture count and/or album style you need only pay the difference.
