The only other fee's apart from the photo packages, are any other optional extras you choose to add on for example, Canvas wraps, large prints, parent albums and so on.
The attendance that comes with the photo packages covers Gary from the brides house before the wedding for the preparation shots, all the way up until the staged cutting of the cake at the reception before the wedding breakfast. Extra coverage can be arranged until the first dance, or for the whole evening.
Gary can photograph anywhere in the UK however there may be a small travel fee for weddings that are further afield. He is based in Essex and often covers areas such as Southend, Shoeburyness, Rochford, Ashingdon, Hockley, Rayleigh, Leigh, Hadleigh, Benfleet, Pitsea, Basildon, Wickford, Brentwood, Hornchurch, Chelmsford, and all points in between. But has also photographed at places such as Margate, Halstead and Maldon.
This all depends on the size of your wedding and for example, the amount of guests. For smaller registry office weddings Gary would take at least 250 photos and for larger church weddings, Gary usually takes 300+.
After your wedding all the photos will go through a "quick" edit, meaning they are all properly exposed, cropped and you get the pictures back ASAP. These photos will be uploaded into your own personal gallery found on the clients page. This will be password protected, and the details will only be given to the bride, groom and guests at the wedding. But feel free to pass these details on to whoever you wish. Guests will be able to purchase prints directly off of the private gallery using PayPal.
The pictures in the private gallery will each have their own number. All Gary will need is the list of the numbers and the quantity of the pictures you would like to order.
Yes, guests can purchase pictures on the private gallery. So please feel free to give the log-in details to whoever you know may want to either see the photos, or purchase some for themselves. They can do this directly through Gary to save you from more things to worry about using PayPal.
Once you choose your photos, these will all be re-edited. With this editing time, as well as the time in the printers Gary would aim to get them back to you in 2-4 weeks but this can vary depending on the amount of photos you are getting.
