My aim is to create beautiful photographs that truly capture the spirit of your wedding day. With a wealth of experience in wedding photography, I know how to put couples at ease. Your finished wedding collection will feel relaxed and natural, while capturing all the emotion and special details you’ll want to remember for a lifetime.
Why choose Patois
You need to be the focus of your wedding day so I always work subtly in the background, going unnoticed wherever possible. While the traditional posed shots are a great way to mark the occasion, often the best photographs are those natural, candid pictures you didn’t even know were being taken. I will suggest a couple of poses, they’ll make you laugh and put you at ease…trust me!
Check out what past wedding customers have to say:
I am now doing fewer weddings due to work/life balance constraints and only offer a half day package:
Patois Wedding Package £1100 Up to 5 hours
This is ideal if you only want to focus on the main events such as: ceremony, group photos, bride and groom portraits and speeches (if done before the meal). Coverage of up to five hours (with some flex).
You’ll get a private online gallery and a USB containing print and social media resolution images.
The Patois difference means I don’t limit the amount of images I supply. I figure its your shoot, why should I withhold any or charge you more?
What you will get
A couple of months before the wedding, we will discuss your plans (either via email or in person if you prefer) where we go through the finer details of your day, noting everything that’s happening, including all the key people, times and locations. This planning session often proves invaluable for the couple. Closer to the wedding day I’ll write up a timing plan suggesting the best times to fit in portraits and group shots, plus list all the key group shots you want taken. You can tweak this as you like but we always suggest keeping your group shots to a minimum if possible, you won’t want to spend all your time having formal shots when you want to mingle with guests.
You can expect to have your images ready to view typically within eight weeks; the price includes both the time photographing on the day plus the many hours of editing afterwards. If you choose to book Patois, all I need is a £200 deposit to secure the date and the remaining balance can be paid two weeks before the wedding date.
I don’t arrange prints as find it easier for both parties to give you freedom to print what you want, and as many as you want, we won’t charge you extra for that. Feel free to share the images on Facebook, email or pass the USB or gallery link onto family.
