What's included in a Wedding Photography Package?

I offer three wedding photography packages; classic, exclusive and modest. Each includes an initial meeting. In it, we will discuss your needs, answer questions, and offer advice. This gives you a feel for whether my personality and style fit your vision.

Full details of what is included in each package are shared here on this link: wedding photography packages.

I also include a 30-minute engagement photo session. It can be in my High Wycombe studio or on a location of your choice. This cost is subtracted from the wedding fee. This is a great way to try before you buy. It can provide extra reassurance if you are nervous about having your photo taken.
