There is a great variety of photography styles, that includes shooting in a relaxed, documentary, fashion or photojournalistic style, and it can be potentially confusing when searching for the right one. We all want amazing pictures, but often when we are the subject, we find posing a little awkward, with the minimum amount of involvement required - the better.

That’s absolutely fine and you know why? It is because the pictures we appreciate the most, are actually the ones that have be taken with the heart. These pictures capture the fun, love, emotion and humour of the day and as result the photo will give you the same amazing feeling even if you see it hundreds of times again.

Our aim is to create beautiful photographs that capture the uniqueness of your day – from the biggest moment to the smallest detail. We are happy to customise something to suit your needs and there are many extra’s available including a variety of professional wedding photography albums, engagement shoots, a photo booth and more.

Our approach, like the weddings we shoot is unique; it can be a discreet, documenting the event with minimal intervention from the photographer or more traditional with perfectly organised group shots. Maybe something more artistic, modern, even vintage, each one can be brilliant as long as it captures the joy or your day.

For example, with natural-style wedding photography you shouldn’t really notice the photographers and yet they have the competence to spend the entire day in the thick of the action, photographing uninhibited interactions between family and friends.

For those feeling adventurous and comfortable in front of the camera, fashion is, perhaps, the style that highlights the glamour of the couple. Here, the photographer gets the chance to spotlight the beauty of the bride on her most glorious day or the last stag moments of the groom with his best friends; the hair, the makeup, the cufflinks, the Oxfords (not brogues) :) or a totally stunning dress’s features can be enhanced into a photograph that talks over time. Posing here is crucial, therefore the schedule should allow a bit more time for this type of photo shooting, which can be mixed with a different type (such as contemporary + fashion photography).

Understanding the basic principles of photography styles is important and the best thing when booking a professional photographer is to already know which style you love.

It’s a sort of a teamwork, where communication is the key of success. For instance, when you have seen a picture that you absolutely love, don’t ask the photographer to copy it but instead, try to explain what made you like it. For sure he/she will try and adapt it to the venue’s settings. Or if someone at your wedding celebrates their birthday and you have a surprise ready, make sure you let the photographer know so they can capture the moment.

As professional photographers, we can be that creative, innovative and up to date individuals that care and want to make your day special. We can suggest ideas you haven’t thought of and you might even like!

We have experienced almost everything, from the bride’s nervousness in the dressing room to the groom preparing for the first dance, which is why we encourage pre-event meetings. These allow us to visit the venue and to get to know each other better, giving all of us confidence and a chance to plan the day ahead.

Whether you are planning a party, celebration, or a corporate event our photography team will be there to capture all the special moments, those genuine photos that you can cherish forever.

Your event can be a:

• Big Birthday Party
• School Prom
• Family Celebration
• Anniversary Party
• Engagement Party
• Corporate Party
• Summer Event

We can cover your event in two great options:

Roaming Party Photography

We capture all the little details of your event before getting great, natural, pictures of your family and guests as they party the night away. With no studio or set base our photographers are free to roam wherever the action takes them and produce wonderful images for you to treasure.

Mini Photo Studio

We arrive before your guests and set-up a mini size professional studio. We’ll provide studio style lights and use either:

• A glitter backdrop
• A white contemporary background

• A bespoke linen backdrop at your request
• An attractive architectural feature at your venue.

If your celebration is formal, we will take wonderful portraits. If your event is fun, we can bring a range of props and create an open photobooth. Or we can combine both elements – the choice is yours. Using a temporary photo studio we take glamorous, fun photos of your guests dressed in their formal attire. Following their picture session guests can receive a high-quality photo print.

Prints can either be:

- Produced instantly for guests to take as a memento of the event

When we are asked to provide on-site printing for events, we produce deluxe quality prints that are instantly dry to the touch. The printed pictures are presented in an attractive photo mount which we then place in a protective bag.

- Sent by post to your office’s address

Guests can either purchase their prints on the night for an agreed price per item or the event organiser can pre-purchase a certain number of prints at an affordable cost paid in advance of the event. Following the event, we set-up a secure on-line gallery where guests can purchase re-prints or additional copies of their pictures.

Instant on-site printing at Charity Events

Using an Event Photographer that provides on-site printing is a proven way for charity events and charity balls to raise additional donations. We will happily donate up-to 10% of the print sales achieved on the night to the charity via the organisers.

Depending on the layout of your event it may be possible for the event photographer to also take pictures of your room setting and some roaming pictures during the entertainment. Just let us know if you would like this included when we discuss your event.

So if you are looking for professional and friendly event photography that provides guests with high quality photos and on-site printing contact us now to discuss your forthcoming event.

We are happy to customise something to suit your needs and there are many extra’s available including a variety of professional wedding photography albums, engagement shoots, photo booth and more…

Wedding & Event Albums

A photograph is not a photograph until you print it

- Yervant Zanazanian, Grand Master wedding photographer

We design and create a range of premium, professional wedding and event albums for our photography packages but also other wedding photographers, artists and couples who are in need of a high end, custom wedding photo album service in the UK and Italy.

There’s an incredible feeling when you’re presented with a photo album of images to look through, photographs are often studied for a little longer and the quality of the photographic printing can really be appreciated. Looking at digital wedding albums online or screen, no matter how large the images, is just not the same.

We do worry that many of the family portrait and wedding photographs that we and other photographers produce will just sit on a hard drive or a smartphone and be forgotten. It is the very opposite of an album. A beautifully printed, large wedding album is simply the best way to look over the photos and relive the day. This is especially so with documentary-style photography as it allows you to ponder just that little bit longer over narrative and context.

And for the fashion style pictures, we can even print it on a magazine type photo album!

All our handmade wedding photo albums are carefully designed to showcase your story to its full potential across the wedding day – custom photo albums are highly personalised to the customers need, often with couples playing a significant role in the design stages. You can essentially make your own professional wedding album, showcasing your photos, to an exceptionally high standard, tailored to your unique taste. All our photo albums are handmade using only the absolute best leather, linen, papers and printing materials available, yet budget friendly.

Already a customer? If you’re interested in adding an album to display your wedding or portrait photography, please complete the contact form or email us directly with your style preferences and requirements. We regularly create wedding anniversary albums, and the fact that the first year is traditionally celebrated with paper is very fitting!

The first design proof is ready within 3 weeks and there are unlimited tweaks to this design, once an event or wedding album design is approved orders are produced and delivered within a further 2 to 3 weeks.

ENGAGEMENTS SHOOTS

Usually, the engagements shots are made …after the proposal, as some couples might want some privacy on a such a special moment. Other people prefer us to capture the genuine, candid feeling right when the future groom is absolutely panicked and the future bride is still wondering if is true or not and the emotions after: the engagement ring, romance, happiness and the joy of being a family soon.

We got you covered. We can bespoke your props, such as a board with a message “she said yes!” displayed somewhere next to you, or even studio type photography made outdoor.

PHOTO BOOTH

Your guests will simply love it! It is one of the most demanded features at a wedding and not only, where the guests are having fun, from kids to grandparents altogether.

Our smart and stylish photo booth is an ad-hoc made mini studio type, where the prints can be enhanced with:

• A feature within your venue such a showpiece fireplace or a stunning staircase
• A bespoke backdrop, with your preferred theme
• Funny inflatable props
• Customised prints (a day at the beach or vintage party theme, or even your favourite car)
• A message or the date of your wedding/event
• High-res pictures for each one of your guests, printed with a professional printer
• A guest book with all the prints where your guest can sign and add funny messages
