Philip Bedford Wedding Photography

My general prices start from £949.00 for 8 hours of photography, including all the images fully edited and supplied on a USB or digital disc with an accompanying online gallery. Most of my clients tend to spend between £999-1399 depending on what extras they order and how many hours they require. If this seems a bit outside your budget, you can always have less hours and I'm happy to discuss different options with you.

Wedding photographs are supplied on a USB, and I also offer a wedding albums, a photo-booth service, engagement shoots and second photographer.

All photography packages include: An initial consultation to discuss your wedding photography and optional extras. Wedding Photography: Typically most clients order coverage from bridal preparations until the first dance but you can adjust this to how much you want me to be working for based on your wedding schedule. A minimum of 250 fully edited professional, full-resolution photographs; supplied on a USB in a presentation case. There is also a website gallery for friends and family to view images online.

I recommend getting in touch ASAP to check availability. Most couples book me around a year before their wedding date, but I'm happy meet people earlier or later than this as long as I'm available for their wedding date.

No.

Absolutely! I've travelled all over the Uk for couples and I've even covered some destination weddings in Europe!

Some travel expenses may apply if you live further than 50 miles from Brighton, East Sussex, or 20 miles outside of the M25 or if your wedding is abroad. Accommodation (where necessary) is also not included within the photographer fees. Please contact me for more information and for a full quote.

I like to be very subtle and discreet, capturing things as they happen throughout the day and blending into the wedding itself. Your wedding is unique and I don’t want to interfere with that. I aim to become a part of the day by creating a relaxed atmosphere for you to enjoy having your photograph taken in. We will work together to get great photographs of you both, capture all the details of your day and even line up the family for a few (in) formal shots. I also want you to have time with your guests and loved ones whilst I work, and for photography to not take over your day. Everything is very informal and I won’t order you around or pose you like a supermodel. But when the light is perfect and using the beautiful surroundings you’ve chosen for your wedding, I’ll capture awesome photographs of you both together. I usually place people into a beautiful place, and then ask them to just do their own thing and enjoy each other’s company; it’s important for me that you feel relaxed and happy in your photographs and everything feels natural.

I shoot with Canon professional cameras and EF lenses, tripods, Speedlight flashes, Elinchrom studio lights, filters, bags, straps, wires, etc… you get the idea.

Yes, there is an online photo gallery and I'll produce a blog post of your wedding on the website too.

Always within four weeks of the wedding date.

Once the day is over, I will process and edit all the photographs taken and reduce them to between 300 – 1000 photographs depending on the amount of hours I am booked for. The amount of photos tends to work out at around 50-75 photographs per hour that I am booked for. So if you had me there for 10 hours you could expect to receive 500-750 photos. I also edit the photographs, tweaking the colours and contrast, cropping images for optimal composition, convert some photographs to black and white and reorder the images to best tell the story of your wedding chronologically and visually.

A second photographer is available on request, but I tend to work alone on smaller weddings.
