I am sure I can provide a personable and friendly approach to create a fresh, contemporary wedding album for you to enjoy for years to come. On your wedding day, I usually start two hours before the bride walks down the aisle and finish around 10 pm. A 40 page A4 album from Graphic Studio, Italy. 10 x (10" x 8) prints. A disc or digital download with every image I have taken which includes photoshop work on the images used in the album.

Tony is an amazing photographer and I feel so lucky to have found him for our wedding. He was really easy to talk to and answered any questions I had before booking and on the lead up to our wedding. Both me and my husband were nervous for our pre wedding photo shoot but Tony completely put us at ease and took some amazing photos. This instantly put us both at ease for our big day. On the day Tony was brilliant, even the staff at the venue commented on how lovely, personalable but also professional he was. He captured our day perfectly and we have some amazing photos to keep and look back on in years to come. Tony was so easy to work with and he made everything so easy and do fun at the same time. Thank you Tony for doing such a great job. I would highly recommend!

Everything went very smoothly. Mike was very professional. He made contact in good time and ascertained which photos of family members we required. He then forwarded a timed itinerary for the day. When and where necessary he used his professional judgement to capture unplanned moments between the bride and groom and other members of the wedding party.

"Amazing photographs taken by The Photo House!
Even though we only had a very small ceremony (7 people), The Photo House made the captures REALLY amazing and special for us! We couldn’t be more grateful!
We highly recommend that you use The Photo House, it’s SO worth it! Very high quality and so detailed and patient! Will be so worth it!!"

Must say a big thank you to yourself and Kerry for being part of Lucy and James' big day. You were absolutely brilliant and have provided us with some fantastic imagery. I know that the happy couple are going to struggle to choose the photographs for the presentation DVD as they are all so good!

More Than Just a Pretty Picture: The Soul of Wedding Photography
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let’s get one thing straight. A professional wedding photographer does so much more than just take pretty pictures. They are artists, storytellers, professional huggers, and calming presences all rolled into one. Investing in a great one is investing in the quality and longevity of your memories.
They Capture the Feeling
The real magic of a wedding isn’t in the perfectly posed shots; it’s in the feeling. It’s the butterflies in your stomach, the roar of laughter during the speeches, the happy tears of your parents, and the absolute chaos of the dancefloor. A great photographer is a master at capturing that intangible, wonderful feeling in a still image.
They Tell Your Unique Story
Every couple is different, and every wedding has its own narrative. A skilled photographer will take the time to get to know you and will tell the story of your day in a way that is authentic to you. They’ll weave together the big moments and the small, unnoticed details to create a beautiful, cohesive story.
They Are Masters of Light
Great photography is all about light. A professional photographer knows how to work with any lighting situation. They know how to find the most beautiful, flattering light for your portraits, how to handle the low light of a rustic barn or a candlelit dinner, and how to create magic during that beautiful ‘golden hour’ just before sunset.
The Unseen Work Is Everything
A huge part of a photographer’s job happens after your wedding day is over. They will spend many, many hours carefully sifting through thousands of images, selecting the very best ones, and then artistically editing each one to their signature style. This is how you get a stunning, consistent gallery of images, and it’s how you get a party that will be remembered in perfect detail.

About supplier
I started photography as a hobby when I was a teenager and quickly fell in love with the art of capturing moments. My passion for photography grew over time, and I decided to pursue it as a career because it allows me to express creativity and capture the beauty of the world around me.
Throughout many years working as a wedding photographer, I developed my style and a set of various presets. This helps me to produce beautiful and unique photos. I shoot in raw and edit photos myself. Personally, ensure each photo is the best it can be, it is beautifully cropped and adjusted, and the colour and exposure are just right, to ensure that each photo that goes into your album shares a beautiful moment and as a collection tells a magical and romantic story.

No Extra Costs: No travel or accommodation fees.
Local Recommendations: Can suggest trusted local vendors like florists or makeup artists.
The Case for a Destination Photographer
You’ve Found 'The One': You love their unique style above all else.
A Fresh Perspective: New eyes on the venue can create original, creative shots.
Specialist Skills: Perfect for specific wedding types like adventure elopements.
Ultimately, what matters most is that you love their work and feel a great connection with them.
