Weddings by Illumini Photography
Frequently Asked Questions
Our wedding photography style combines our passion for photography with our ability to produce natural but contemporary wedding images. We work unobtrusively, capturing real moments as your special day unfolds and all those little details you have worked so hard to plan.
You only have one wedding package and everything is included?
Unbelievable we know but true. We only have one package to keep everything simple. We cover your wedding day from start to finish. We include a complimentary pre-wedding shoot, a DVD slideshow and all of the full size images on a DVD presented along with all of your printed photographs. You just choose and order your album separately only if you want one.
Are you the only photographer?
Yes. However, I enlist the help of my glamorous assistant (my wife Carolyn!) who helps carry equipment and helps put you at ease!
Do you still do traditional group shots?
Certainly! We're happy to do up to 10 traditional groups. This will take between 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the groups. To speed up this process so people are not hanging around and getting bored, a nominated Usher or the Best man is usually very helpful at this point to gather all the people required.
What if we're uncomfortable having our photograph taken?
If only we had a pound for every couple we talk to that has a fear of the camera! This is where the pre-wedding photo shoot helps. It gives you both the chance to see how we work and gives you the confidence in our ability to put you at ease and create great natural, modern images. We always recommend you have this session and it is usually in a nice location somewhere near to you, 2 or 3 months prior to your wedding day.
Do you travel outside of the North West?
We're happy to cover weddings anywhere in the UK. For travel further than 100 miles we charge £250.00 to cover 2 nights’ accommodation and expenses.
How long does it take for delivery of our pictures?
We try to have your pictures available for viewing on-line within 3 weeks. Your photographs and discs will take approximately 6-8 weeks to be delivered. Due to the design process, if an album is ordered this can increase the delivery time to between 12-14 weeks.
Do we need to provide you with food and beverage?
No. We are happy to provide our own meal and take this at a suitable time usually while you and your guests are having your meal. We then return in plenty of time to shoot the speeches.
Are we allowed to print from our picture DVD?
Of course! Your DVD disc of full size images will be provided to you for exactly this reason. You can print them as you like as they free from our logo or copyright. However you cannot use them for commercial use without our permission.
How much deposit do we pay?
We ask for a £200 deposit immediately on booking to secure your wedding date with us. The remaining balance is to be paid 28 days before your wedding day.
What size are the 300+ prints?
Your images are printed 7" x 5" with a slight border to avoid cropping the image.
