J S Coates Wedding Photography

I only offer a single package, me all day (I mean very early to very late). Get in touch and I will send you a pricing brochure.

The main package is me, all day. Thats from when hair and makeup begin until everyone is drunk and dancing. I don't put a limit on my time and don't charge any extra for staying late. The only extra I offer is a second shooter if you feel you need that.

My price includes the following; 1. Me all day capturing those amazing moments 2. Any pre-wed meeting we need to make sure your day is amazing 3. A highlight Slideshow reel set to music.....I want tears here :) 4. A private online gallery with all your images that you can view and download 5. Full print release so you can print your images anywhere

Most couples tend to book between 1 year and 18months in advance however, I have bookings up to 2 years in advance too. With that said, just contact me when you are ready to chat.

No, my package is all day only. I don't do half days or multiple weddings. I am J S Coates Wedding Photography and it is me that shoots every wedding. I can't, and don't want to be in two places at once. You get my full attention :)

Yes, Ive shot weddings in every corner of the UK and lucky enough to have booked weddings abroad too.

This truly depends on where the wedding is. Being in the Midlands I'm blessed to be pretty local to most places so most of the time I do not need to add on travel. On the rare occasions I do, we can discuss the options.

Storytelling is the best way to describe it. Some people call it natural, candid or reportage...Whatever the cool kids call it, It's about capturing the small moments, the big moments and all the smiles and tears in between. I then create some beautiful kick ass portraits for you too. Blend the two approaches together and you have my style.

All of it :) DSLR cameras, multiple lenses, laptops....everything I need to take cool pictures and run my business.

I just stay focused all day to make sure I get as many moments captured as possible in a creative way. I try and blend in with the guests when I can and get close to make sure you feel like you're in the moment when you view the pictures.

On a wedding day I use 2 x Canon 5D MKiv cameras with a verity of lenses. It's not about the equipment, it's about making cool pictures

Yes, you get your own online gallery to view and download from. It is password protected so you can choose who sees it and there's a pin number on the download end so you can choose who sees it and who can download from it.

I try to deliver your images within 4 weeks. At the height of the wedding season this may extend to 6 weeks. I want your images to get the attention they deserve and they are all edited by myself.

No, I send all the good ones :) You don't need to see the ones that miss focused, or the the ones where everyone blinked, or 10 of the same photo of hubby doing up his tie or the ones that just didn't work. Part of booking me is trusting me to capture your day in my style. I won't hold back anything good, that's for sure.

most of the time I work alone however, If you wish to have a second shooter, this can be arranged. I only use other professional photographers and I guide them in what I want them to capture. I also only use people with a similar style to me. I edit all their files so that our images blend together.

I have a close group of photographers that all help each other if the worst happened. You will be happy to know that as yet, I have never missed a wedding I have booked and would have to be hospitalised to do so (If I could turn up with a drip, I would). I'm also part of a nation-wide emergency cover group if I need to call on that.

Like all photographers, the copyright of the images belong to me however, you get a full print release so you can print the images wherever you like. You can also post them online, share them with your friends. All I ask is that you do not sell them.

Per wedding.

I don't put a limit on my time. If there is exciting things happening right at the end of your day, I will want to be there anyway to capture it.

No charge, see above

Bank transfer

With a massive smile on face because I do the best job in the world :)
