MY APPROACH

The experience matters

Your day is one you will remember for eternity and my job on the day is to deliver not just great photos! but a great experience too!

I keep everything efficient, quick, but most importantly. FUN.

I see wedding photography as more of an addition to your day not the sole purpose of it.

When I say I’m fast! I mean fast! I’ll  probably get through your family photos in under 15 minutes(So fast the venue often think we haven’t started them)

I’m militant and in control when I need to be! Yet calm as a cucumber when we can sit back and relax.

My sole aim of the day is for you to enjoy your selves yet still having an action packed gallery full of everything to document your day.

1 Let's have fun!

Laughter is the best medicine, and the key to the best photos. I don’t want you to be bored on your big day, my goal is to get the job done while we have some fun.

2 Paw-tographer

Dogs are usually my favourite guests, no offence to your family! If you have a pooch that’s your pride and joy, or any animal for that matter, furry friends are always a pleasure.

3 Be My Guest

How many weddings have you been to where you have no recollection of the photographer? That’s not me. If your guests are still referring to me at the end of the day as “The Photographer” instead of “Fabio” then I’ve failed. I love when your guests feel they can call on me any time they want a photo.

4 The dream team

Bridesmaids and groomsmen are often some of my favourite shots to have fun with. Lighting smoke grenades, spraying prosecco, fighting for the bouquet, or even launching the groom – it’s all a yes from me!

5 The couple shots

I’m 20% posed/80% Natural

And i work fast too, your couple photos will never stem longer than 20 minutes! If there is a nice sunset later i may drag you back out for another 10 minutes later but for me its about ensuring you enjoy the day and getting all those important photos at the same time with no expense spared! 

6 relaxed and simple

No one is a fan of posing, and the idea of a photoshoot makes people feel uneasy!

I keep it fun, simple and relaxed and before you know it you will feel like a pro, no one has every come away feeling awkward. Infact most people say that wasn’t as bad as i thought!

7 Not just a photographer

I want your day to be the best it can be, and that goes beyond just the photos. As well as being a professional dress-fluffer, any emergency or conundrum I can help with I will – I’ve reattached veils, hopped on a mic to help with announcements, even fetched tampons.

But I’m there to help your day run smoothly too… that means nagging the venue to get on with things if they are running behind and relaying what’s important to you to them. 

My day goes beyond photos and my couples day is always my priority! I’ve saved many disasters! 

8 Keep it candid

I like to blend in with the guests to grab every moment in its natural form, telling the true story of your day.

Engaging with your family and friends helps everyone to relax around the camera. Getting them to be themselves is where I shine.

9 Militant and fast

My plan of action going into group shots is efficiency – maximum combinations in minimum time. I’m not afraid to wrangle your guests to get you back to your prosecco ASAP.

Family shots area always the longest chore but overtime ive learnt to get these done in record time by being a little militant and fast! but my goal is to get you back to your wedding before you know it.

I’m all about ensuring the photos dont dominate your day without compromising on quality and quantity.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Aside from the fast turn around of your photos and my natural style of photographs, my fun personality makes it easy for people to enjoy themselves around me. To get the best, most relaxed photos, I want the guests to know me as “Fabio” and not just “the photographer”.

I like to be part of the day and not just an accessory to it, and being 100% approachable just makes it easy for the guests to grab me when they want a photo too.

For the couple shots, I lean away from the stiff awkward posing and instead, let the couples be themselves and just have fun–  after all, those photos are always the best. Whilst I may pose you for some, my style is mainly focused on the natural, “you being you” photos.

I like to treat a wedding as exactly what it is… your special day, not just any other day taking photographs, so I give 200% every time.

I like to hang around a little after the first dance as well, just to make sure I capture the busy dancefloor antics before the evening buffet drops!

Via an online gallery.

You will receive a direct link to your own special gallery where all your images are hosted. This makes it simple to share with all your friends.

From here you can also order prints if you wish to, and you are also able to hide certain images from your guests that you might wish to keep private.

I try to be flexible and accommodate any delays on the day, as we know weddings don’t always run on time! Rest assured, I will never dash off without making sure I have all the key photos if things become delayed.

I make every effort to attend a wedding, it would have to be an unavoidable emergency or serious illness for me to let you down. But if the worst happens, I have a trusted network of photographers and between us we all cover each other in emergencies.

I am based in Halifax (HX1) but I am happy to travel around 2-3 hours away.

Up to two hours’ travel is included in your pricing.

Outside of two hours’ travel will incur a small fee depending on the distance and if a hotel is required, but I will ensure you are aware of this before any chats or discussions. 

 

Every single photo is edited. Nothing will be added to your gallery unedited in some way.

Of course! Ideally I would suggest a zoom first to save us both some time, and if you want to meet in person after the zoom, we can meet either at the venue or at your house. Whatever works for you.

The contract states four weeks to give me some additional time, but I always aim to return images back to you within 1-2 weeks of your wedding date. 

A hot meal is always appreciated but never expected.

All I ask is that you let me know either way so I know whether to bring something with me.

Venues usually offer supplier meals at a reduced rate.

A deposit of £125 secures the date, and the remainder balance is payable four weeks before the big day.

In special circumstances, I can be flexible.

If I have not visited your venue in the past and it is relatively local to me, I will try and visit it beforehand. However, I often find arriving just earlier on the day works perfectly. The problem with visiting in advance can be that it’s not a true reflection of what to expect on your wedding day specifically, so doesn’t always have any benefit to my preparation.

For example, the weather may change, the grass maybe boggy, something has changed at the venue that blocks a beautiful shot I had planned. So I find arriving half an hour early on the day is better to get a good idea of what will work. 

That being said, if you truly feel it would be best, let me know and we can arrange something. 

 

I always have three cameras, multiple flashes, multiple memory cards and multiple lenses with me on the day.

Weddings are a once in a lifetime memory and they deserve the ultimate contingency plan.

Firstly, let’s check the date is free by filling out an enquiry form

If the date is free then we can have a quick zoom or phone call to say hello! I like to have a chat with couples before they book to check I’m what you are after. You need to feel 100% comfortable to get the most on your wedding day! 

This chat comes with zero pressure to make a decision– I would rather you take your time to be completely happy.

If you wish to go ahead, then get back in touch and you will receive a booking contract for peace of mind, and I would need a deposit of £125 to secure the date.
