THE STYLE
This kind of wedding photography (reportage) appeals to a certain type of person. It's for someone who doesn't want a big production or to be hassled or handled by the photographer. The results are natural memories of your day not stiff uncomfortable poses. Every wedding requires a few formal group/posed shots and we cater for these accordingly but the main emphasis will be on candid, unobtrusive photography.
At Perceptive the wedding is the easy part, requiring anywhere from six to twelve hours at the event. This can be by one photographer or two. Coverage often starts at the house while the bride is getting ready and continues through the reception. A few formal shots are always required but we try and keep the rest of the day as relaxed and informal as possible. We like to capture the days events as they happen rather than staging shots to photograph. The memories the photographs help recall should be real ones, not staged moments in the day. Any special requests for photographs can be mentioned in the contract or on the day. We are happy to take as many photos as you like. No additional charges will be made if you request additional photographs. These photographs will also be included with your package.
The real work starts after the wedding, with editing, online proofing
and printing, We use the latest digital cameras, editing software and
printers to ensure you get perfect results. Every image is viewed in
detail on a computer, alterations are made to each and every print to
ensure that tonal range, contrast, colour balance, sharpness, composition
and content are exactly right. Computer editing of images allows us
to provide the equivalent of traditional hand printing techniques on
every image you get. This kind of service just wouldn't have been available
in the days of film. Your photographs can be black and white, colour
or a combination of the two. Natural, candid, informal, unobtrusive,
relaxed, professional, contemporary, modern, creative and award winning
are all good descriptions of our photography. Below are a couple of
examples of images before and after our editing phase.
Once your images have been through our editing phase (about 2 weeks)
a web site is built so that you may view them online. Every image that
we put on the web site will be in your album/s. Your albums will arrive
about two weeks after the web site goes live.
All of our wedding packages include every photograph taken as a
6"x4" print. You don't have to choose a selection, or even
worse have a selection chosen for you. You get every picture (we will
delete pictures with faults i.e.. eyes closed) as a 6"x4"
print presented in simple black album. To help you share you photographs
with friends and family we create your own wedding web site. Additional
prints can be purchased directly through the web site and delivered
worldwide.
