| Reasons for having an engagement portrait session: Getting married is often the first time that most people are photographed by a professional photographer. It therefore makes sense to have a 'dry run' with the photographer you have chosen before the big day itself, so that you can get used to the way your photographer works, see his/her work first hand, and have the opportunity to 'fine tune' poses and the style and type of photos you are both looking for from your forthcoming wedding day. Increasingly we are finding that many couples are so pleased with their engagement session photos that they are requesting that we include some of them in their final wedding album designs. Also of course, if your engagement session takes place in beautiful weather but the big day itself is wet, you still have some beautiful intimate photos of yourselves taken outside. Location and timing of the session: This of course depends on you. We recommend that your session happens at least two months before the big day itself. (Any closer and you will be too caught up in the last minute planning for the big day itself to fully relax and then choose your favourite images afterwards.) If you are getting married in our local area we might suggest that you consider using the actual venue (with their permission,) or otherwise can always recommend local places that will provide a spectacular backdrop for your session photos. Another choice is to select somewhere important or special to the two of you for your session. How it works and what's included: Most sessions last 1-2 hours on-site. Within a few days you'll receive all of the images on a proof CD and also be able to view them from a password protected page of our website. (The CD and on-line proof galleries will last for 4 weeks before expiring.) Our engagement location portrait sessions include our popular 'Framed Print Guestbook' a beautiful handmade 24 x 20 inch large frame that contains one 12 x 8 inch print chosen by you both and a large surrounding mat (see image below.) We bring this framed print along to your reception venue so your guests can write personal messages to you on the mat card. Then after the wedding you can replace the engagement print with one of your wedding photos, creating a stunning visual centre piece for your home, with heartfelt messages from all of those important people who shared your special day with you. Extra prints and products: You are of course free to order extra prints in a variety of sizesfrom your engagement session, together with a range of other products and services which include canvas and block mount prints, framed prints, DVD slideshow of all images etc, as detailed in the portrait pages of our website here with no minimum order required or expected. We hope you'll love the beautiful images that we create with you during your session and want to order lots of prints, but you are not pressured into purchasing anything if you are just happy with your framed print guestbook. Session fee: £295 Our engagement location portrait sessions are completely separate from our wedding packages. The cost of a session is £295 but this of course includes our fantastic 24 x 20 inch Framed Print Guestbook. (For sessions that are over 30 miles from our studio, mileage is charged at 55p per mile.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Us | All images, content and site design © 2008 Nic Cleave Photography | Site Map |
