PHOTO PACKAGE CHOICE: «Photo Package»
It isn't wise on such a special occasion to take just one photograph of each situation and risk a poor expression or
closed eyes etcetera, so I therefore take duplicates of all photographs which should be taken into consideration when anticipating
total number of images. For example, should you initially request a total of 32 photographs taken, double this to 64, and
add on a handful of other creative images or additions you may request on your wedding day.
Candid shots are also a feature, and although there will only be one of each generally, bear in mind that these will
add to your total number of photographs. I will be using a digital camera for some of these duplicate pictures as sometimes
it picks up images in different ways.
Packages are only suggestions for your convenience. Because of the intimate nature of wedding portraiture, I want to
have a personal conversation with you in order to discuss your needs and determine the best options for you.
