Frequently asked questions.
How many weddings does karl photograph in a day?
We photograph one wedding per day so the whole day is devoted to you. We usually spend the day with you, from the preparations in the morning through to the speeches.
What equipment is used?
We use a range of professional camera equipment. We only use Digital cameras including the top of the range Nikon D2Xs and back up cameras (Nikon D2X). A portable indoor studio is also used where indoor shots are necessary and we need to enhance lighting conditions.
How many photographs will we have to choose from when the album is being constructed?
You will have between 150 - 250 images to choose from, but this very much depends on how long we are there for and the number of locations used throughout the day. After your honeymoon, you come along to the stylish studio and relax while you view the photographs on a digital slide show, from this you can decide which images you would like in your album, alternately you can have a proof book of your images to take away and choose at home. With our expertise and experience, we will be there to help you design your album. Any extra prints required above the package selected can be paid for individually.
Are all photographs taken on digital and how much digital work is undertaken after the wedding?
All the photographs will be taken on digital cameras. The cameras operate well in low light conditions and allows a huge amount of creativity. No film changes are required, so no crucial moments are missed. Also print quality is absolutely superb.
Much digital work is undertaken after the wedding - on the Elite services, each image is assessed for tone and colour. Enhancements are made such as reducing skin blemishes, soft focusing, bringing out red roses in a black and white image etc.
When will we get our album?
From the time of viewing the photographs, it can take from 4-6 weeks depending on the package chosen and the number of photographs selected. This time is spent making sure that every image is perfect and sized correctly, printed perfectly and meticulously put together. The album can then be either collected or delivered to you at a charge of £25.
How do our parents select photographs for parent albums?
Parents are welcome to come along to the viewing at our studio with you after the wedding. If this is not possible, they can choose their photographs from the proof book that we supply.
virtual slide shows - can these be offered?
Virtual slide shows can be ordered of all the finally selected images that that were taken on the day, this is very good valiue as there could be 200+ images to view. You can select the music of your choice to accompany it. The charge is £50 for the first and £15 for any extra ordered.
Can we order framed photographs?
Yes. Any size of photograph or frame. We tend to use alloy frames and typically a 12” by 14” photograph in a 20” by 16” frame costs £150.00.
How do we order reprints after we receive our album?
We keep your records for years after your wedding, so all you have to do is ring us and order it. If you lose your wedding album or if it gets damaged in a fire, you can simply reorder the whole album as we keep every detail.
Do you have professional insurance?
Yes, we have public liability insurance and professional indemnity insurance. We would also recommend that the client also takes out the appropriate level of wedding insurance.
