I mainly shoot in a reportage/editorial style which is rare, this means I photograph the day as it happens, with very few staged photos. I do it this way because I personally think the end result is much less forced and much more spontaneous and flattering. Some people like a more traditional shoot with mostly staged photos, there's nothing wrong with that at all, it's all a matter of taste, I do take group photos and a couple of staged photos by request but if anything more than that were wanted I wouldn't be the right photographer for the couple.
I also think I'm different to many photographers in the wedding package I offer. I'm flexible with what I include in my wedding package and I do offer a half day package by request but in general my standard wedding package is quite comprehensive. The only thing it doesn't include is the album as it is quite a personal choice, I offer three options here, each a different kind of album.
Anyone who's visited many wedding photography websites before this one will know that wedding packages and prices are not straightforward. A quote for a full day may increase if you want them there longer than 6 hours, it may include a few prints but any more than that (which there will be, especially by your family) will cost a lot, albums often cost an awful lot extra and a DVD of the full-size images to do with what you want will likely cost a lot extra too. These can all add up to hundreds of pounds.
There are no hidden extras with my package. I'm there for the whole day, a minimum of 8 hours and usually more. I offer a comprehensive wedding photography service, including all the photos (between 300-600) in high resolution on a DVD and online for you or your friends and family to download themselves. This means you can order prints or subsequant photobooks yourselves easily any time you want and your photos will never fade because you will have a digital copy. I also include 80 large prints in a print storage box, perfect for framing or giving to people and I include a DVD slideshow of the day.
