Commission

The Wedding Weekend

The welcome dinner, the wedding, and the long slow brunch that follows it.

When guests fly in, the wedding stops being a day. It becomes three: an arrival dinner where nobody has met yet, the wedding itself, and a farewell table where everyone finally has. The photographs from the first and third are frequently the ones that end up framed, because that is where the talking happens.

Nobody commissions a rehearsal-dinner photographer on their own, which is why this is one commission rather than three. One fee, one crew, one continuous set of photographs with the same hand on the edit from Friday to Sunday.

Practically, it also means the people we are photographing on Saturday have already seen us on Friday. By the ceremony we are furniture, and that is worth more to the work than any amount of equipment.

The Wedding Weekend — questions

Can we take the weekend without the welcome party?

You can, and it becomes a wedding commission with a morning-after session added. The weekend is priced as one because the coverage genuinely is one; there is no saving hidden in splitting it.

Do the events have to be in the same place?

No. A welcome dinner in town and a wedding an hour outside it is the usual shape, and the travel between them is ours to solve.

Tell us the date and the place.

We reply to every enquiry personally, usually within two business days. We take a limited number of commissions each year, and we would rather say so now than manage a waiting list.
