WEDDINGS

Every photograph tells a story............


From start to finish, capturing emotions is a priceless thing & relaying that image back to a customer, a great feeling.
Usually a face will light up, and a big thanks, is such a rewarding moment for any photographer no matter what he/she takes.
Its a great accomplishment being able to provide people with their dreams on paper, and turning standard images into works of creative art.

Everything we do here at Forest Friends Creative, starts off as just an idea but I'm able to quickly turn things around into Creative Timeless pieces.
As the years pass, and we grew older, one thing you can always guarantee is that you will be reliving the memory of your special day over and over again.
Photographs never grow old, and its something we can always hold onto and share with our grandchildren in the future.

I am very proud of the work I have accomplished so far, but photography like life, is a learning curve and I always work towards learning more creative skills which I know my customers will be able to benefit from.

Digital photography is ideal for weddings. It allows the most flexibility so I’m ready for anything, anytime. It also allows me to be more experimental and opens up a whole world of photographic possibilities. It’s important to note that digital photography is more than just capture. Post production is vital to make the utmost of the medium.

I have the most current and powerful software available so that your images are always going to look there best, and that’s better than film. Just view my website & see for yourself! The negatives are no longer an issue. However, that does not mean you are left empty handed. As part of every package no matter how big or small I provide you with a CD or DVD of every image from the day at high resolution.


DIGITAL CORRECTIONS:
All wedding package images will be digitally corrected at no extra charge (touch up, color correct, rotate/centre, remove blemishes, etc). The normal charge for this is £20.00 per photo.( extra charge for duplicates or reprints) You get your images plus Limited Reproduction Rights along with your package - this is the equivalent of giving you the negatives. It allows you to make your own enlargements and copies of your wedding photography. Should you want to guarantee the quality of your prints we can arrange to process all your reprints, making it easier for you and taking out all the hassle. You are not obliged to reorder your reprints or enlargements from us. Yes, you can have a blend of colour and black and white shots. And should ever worse come to the worse and your CD/ DVD ever be lost, misplaced or damaged after your Wedding, we'll always have back-up copies here. So that your Wedding Day photo's will never be lost. An additional charge will be incurred for this service.

I shoot your wedding in colour, and then make the image black and white later. The colour image has more “information” than a true black and white shot, so I can create more variations in tone and shade. Usually I make some of your proof prints black and white to give you an idea of how it will look, however, even if you decide you would prefer that shot for your album or reprint, the original has not been changed.

LOCATIONS
Yes, I visit a location if I have not worked there before. I treat wedding photography just like a commercial photography assignment, and always check out the locations beforehand.

PROOF PRINTS
Our proofs prints are... 4x6 inches with no stamps or marks on them that say “PROOF” in big letters. In fact, they are really final prints not proofs at all. Contact sheets can be provided upon request for your guests to look at, in their own time, or they are welcome to view the online gallery. We can travel anywhere. However there is a reasonable travel charge for out of town/county weddings or locations.

ALBUMS AND REPRINTS
No, you do not have to order an album. You can walk away with prints that included in every package. You can make your own album, give the shots away or call me in a year and arrange to have your album made then. The album takes about 6-8 weeks to be completed. Once you select the images you want in your album (and there is no limit by the way) we create a first draft in about 2 weeks. The ball is then in your court to get back to us with your changes or confirmation. Once the order has been confirmed then it takes about 6-8 weeks.

DEPOSIT
30% deposit is required. The balance is generally due at the time when you pick up your order. I accept cash, PayPal, cheques.

SECURITY AND ASSURANCES
Yes, the photographer you meet and whose work you see here will always be the one who comes to shoot your wedding day. There are no other photographers! That’s why couples choose a boutique studio like us instead of larger studios. I will never send another photographer to photograph your wedding, except for unforeseen circumstances (such as a broken leg!). In such a case you will be notified in advance.

ALBUMS
We have decided to let the customer decide as brides can have such diverse personal tastes when it comes to the creation of their wedding album. Therefore we have significantly discounted the prices of our wedding photography and eliminated the Albums from most of our packages. This allows the bride to choose her own type of album and create her own style of wedding album. We limit our services are to professionally photographing your wedding, supplying the proofs and original images for the albums, and giving you the reproduction rights to all the images. If you are interested in us arranging your photo book for you, then we have some examples and prices below.

COFFEE TABLE STYLE ALBUMS
Unlike traditional style albums where the photographs are printed and inserted in mounts, these are printed and bound like books. This allows many images to be montaged on one page and tends to give the finished album a storybook feel. If you would like me to do your album, I'll show you already printed samples and provide you with very competitive quote or view our samples below..


FINE ART PRINTS
You might be offered digitally prepared artistic prints (double exposures, composite, special lighting, artistic black and white, etc.) of the best photographs which are not included in package price.

You also may choose images to be digitally enhanced. You can purchase them to add to your beautifully assembled collection.

I Nobili Collection - Modern Digital Album

A digital modern album is a special example of traditional photography and modern technology uniting in harmony to produce a remarkable piece of art that really makes an impact.

A digital photographic output of the couple’s favourite photographs is reproduced to cover a two-page spread in their main album. It can be one large photo spread across two pages or two separate photos. We take your finished files and output these photographically and using I Nobili’s talented craft bookbinders produce modern digital albums of distinction.

It's easy to order - you supply 200 dpi jpegs. The image size of the jpegs should be created to suit the double page spread size of the album you choose. See below for more details and sizes. ( We will take care of this for you, the price will be reflected in the final cost)

Details at a Glance

    * Paper Types: Satin standard photographic paper. Metallic has a high gloss metallic finish. Different textured finishes available.

    * Min Resolution Required: 200dpi Jpegs is the preferred file format.
