Dodford Manor Wedding Photographer

Contact us as soon as you have your venue and your date sorted.

We can meet up online or in person, we think this is important as you want to make sure we are not weirdos! lol (we are not).

If you are not ready to book, still get in touch, and we will confirm whether we are available or not, but importantly, we can keep that date and update you if someone else enquires. From here, we can give you a 24-hour window to book us before we speak to the next couple.

We do receive many more enquiries than we can physically fit into a year, and we do get booked up quite quickly, with most key dates going around 18-24 months.

Why 9 hours? Well, a 9-hour coverage typically encompasses around 90% of weddings. The aim is to give you a beautiful set of images that tell a well-paced story. Too early or too late in the day and the photos quickly get very similar. I'm sure you love your Uncle Pete, but you don't want 17 varied shots of him sitting and chatting at the table!

In the past, we have often stayed all night or captured the entire bridal preparation process. However, extending the coverage beyond that doesn't significantly contribute to the storytelling aspect. We've found that many shots are repetitive or similar, and guests, especially during nighttime, can become annoyed with frequent photos, especially as the numbers dwindle. Therefore, 9 hours of coverage usually suffices.

Nevertheless, there are cases where you may require our services for an additional hour or so. The decision regarding this can be made anytime leading up to your wedding day. We typically enquire about your specific wedding day needs six weeks before the event, along with other related questions.

If you do require extra hours, the cost is £200 for two photographers or £150 for a single photographer.

How do we book you? What's the next step?

Use the contact form to send us a message about your day. We will check our availability, and if we are available then we can either meet up or if you are ready you can book us for your date.

Booking

Everything is easy and straightforward. All forms are done online and we accept all major credit/debit cards for payments with no additional charge. We require a 30% booking payment, with 30% due 6 months before your date and 40% 30 days before your big day. Don't worry; we'll send you receipts and reminders.

Key Words: booking, deposit, secure date

We require a 30% initial payment, with 30% of your balance due six months before your date and the remaining balance 30 days before your big day. Don't worry; we'll send you reminders and receipts.

To summarize: Usually, we ask for a six-week period to deliver your photos, but during busy periods, it may take a bit longer. Rest assured; we strive to be punctual and work diligently, even pulling some late-night editing sessions fueled by caffeine, to meet our delivery timeline. Our goal is to provide you with your photos while the memories of your special day are still vivid.

Please note that April through October is our busiest months, and this keeps us occupied with editing until December.
