What I offer in a nutshell, is a one stop, seamlessly integrated, minimum fuss, single all-inclusive HYBRID package, ie, photo, video, audio & drone, (the latter also both photo & video) or the option for ‘Just Video’ (FILMING) or ‘Just Photo’ packages.
There are 9 packages available; 3x HYBRID (photo & video), 3x FILMING (video) and 3x PHOTO.

COVERAGE
I don’t offer time based coverage packages ie, there is no need to select for instance, 6, 8 or 10 hours coverage and then add and pay an hourly rate for more if required. Instead coverage is as follows:
Single Day Coverage = from early to late, so typically 4 hours prior to ceremony to at least 1 hour after the first dance. This makes any typical wedding day I attend anything from 9-15 hours.
2 DAY COVERAGE = usually at least; mid-afternoon on-site meeting, ceremony rehearsal, Welcome Party coverage & capture, typically from around 3pm to 9pm, but if you have an organised event/activity earlier in the day such as say, kayaking and a riverside picnic, or a 1/2 day wine-tasting or similar, then that coverage can be included at no extra cost. The meeting and ceremony rehearsal attendance is actually the key to capturing both the ceremony and speeches in full the following day and why these are not included as standard with single day coverage.
3 DAY COVERAGE = an increasingly popular option and around 70-75% of my clients select this recognising that the day after is often a key part of the entire event and not something separate so whether it be a 1/2 day of Pool Party + BBQ, or something more extensive that lasts into the evening, it can and perhaps should be captured! The key to it is at least a structured & catered event, ie, something ‘more’ than an informal brunch and some goodbyes as perhaps there will be not be enough material from that.
Examples of 2 day coverage are featured in over 90% of all the weddings on this site with around 70-75% featuring 3 day.

FAQ’s
“What if we don’t have anything official planned for the day prior or day after?”
The day prior ie, 2 DAY COVERAGE option is essential for the following day full capture and resulting productions of the ceremony and the speeches and ideally with a ceremony rehearsal and speeches planning discussion. Plus meeting in person on-site with a recce walk & talk is valuable from a photography capture perspective, invaluable for filming coverage and as above, essential for full static capture & presentation of the 2 chapters mentioned.
Regarding the day after (3 day packages), there is no benefit or detriment to the wedding day itself whether this is selected or not, but rather something you choose to have. Or not! More and more couples are, but that one is entirely up to you!
“Full Wedding Day coverage?”
Always. There’s no limiting or counting hours. I am on-site (motorhome/RV) parked up for the entire duration of the up to 3 day coverage, so I start as early as I need to and finish as late as worth staying up late for on the wedding day itself and that is typically anything from 9-15 hours just on the wedding day alone.
“Photography AND Video? How is that possible?”
It’s a long story and I won’t bore you with it other than I began the process of adding a ‘video layer’ to my photography work around 2010 and then spent the next few years developing and integrating that to the point where it became seamless around 2016. And been refining it ever since. It may not be the norm, but it’s what I do, without compromise.
“Can you please just break down exactly what we receive after our wedding?”
Typically; a full set of curated, individually edited (and I really do mean individually hand-edited) hi res Jpeg images for you to download with as you wish, plus; a Wedding/Event Film of approx 7-12 minutes, a full length production of the ceremony, a full length production of the speeches and a video short for social media. There isn’t anything more you could want or need.
“Any deals or discounts?”
The HYBRID packages includes a massive saving of a minimum 30-35% off compared with booking an equivalent costing photography only and video only service, so the value is already very high. The best value options I have are the HYBRID packages and increasingly so with the multi-day options.
“Could we book PHOTO ONLY coverage and ‘upgrade’ to HYBRID closer to the date based on available budget?”
Potentially yes, but I would not recommend doing this for two reasons the first being cost. The package prices above are pre-book or ‘at the time of booking’ prices with the HYBRID packages especially, having a huge built in discount. Secondly I would advise against this as due to turnover + tax thresholds + logistics/workload, I am unlikely to be able to accommodate due to the previously mentioned constraints, ie, once I hit certain limits, my diary is closed for that particular season.
“OK, we’d like to chat further/sold and would like to book, how do we do that?”
For a zero obligation phone or video chat, please just ask, but if you already know you would like to lock me in, again, just make contact and request the booking doc and payment details! FYI, dates cannot be held or “pencilled in” for longer than 24 hours without full booking in order to be fair to all.
