Where are 'all occasions' based.
We are situated in Hedge End, Southampton. Our coverage
extends throughout Hampshire.
How would you describe the services you offer?
We currently offer 5 different wedding albums and a CD only
service. Depending on your chosen service all our wedding albums are handmade in the UK,
Australia and New Zealand.
It's taken us years of experience to find the right combination
of style and products to meet most couples expectations. Regardless if you have
chosen only to have all your pictures on CD or have selected an album, our approach
is same on your wedding day. We only offer our customers a quality product and service
without any gimmicks or catches and that is why our referral rate from past couples are
so high.
Who will photograph our wedding day?
We do not sub-contract our photographers. Your wedding will
be exclusively photographed by Steven & Karen. We are insured for both public liability
and professional indemity. We have over 12 years combined experience in wedding day capture.
Do we need two photographers?
If you are looking for formal and natural photographs of your
wedding we do not believe a wedding can be fully photographed without two
photographers. We work as a team providing two perspectives of your wedding both
natural and formal. This is our style and provides two completely different takes
of your wedding.
How long should we allow for photography??
Our photography style requires atleast a strict minimum of 1 hour 30 minutes of
time on your wedding day. This covers your formal group photographs and also your portrait photography. This
time is purely for the photography which happens after your service but before you sit down.
What happens if it rains?
The first thing to do is don't panic. Weather in the UK is
pot luck and that is the reason why we always carry studio lighting incase of
emergency. Studio lighting is suitable for formal group photographs and portrait
photography. We only need 10 minutes on your wedding day to setup our lighting.
Are there any hidden charges?
No! The cost of our service includes everything from
pre-wedding consultation, wedding day service, photo preparation and final album/cd
completion. Unlike some other photographers you do not pay any additional fees for
attendance.
What is the typical duration of your stay?
We cannot stress enough to couples that photography is just
one part of your wedding day. You spend years planning your perfect wedding but
unfortunately your day cannot go on forever. You need time to enjoy all the other
aspects of your wedding day so as standard our coverage is around 4 hours. You can
optionally extend this time if required to cover preparations and/or up to your first
dance.
What is your booking fee?
We ask all our customers to pay £100.00 non-refundable booking
fee upon initial booking.
When is the final balance due?
The final service balance is due around 4 weeks before your
wedding day.
Do we meet with you before our wedding?
Absolutely! It's extremely important that we meet at your
reception location. As a rule of thumb we aim to meet between 2-3 weeks before your
wedding day.
What is your customer account area?
As soon as you become a customer you will have access to our
secure online customer area which will allow you to keep track of everything related
to your wedding photography both before and after your wedding. You can keep all
of your personal and booking details up to date but also to plan your itinerary,
group photographs, additional shots, manage pictures, album spread approval, track
album status and much more. We are the only photographers in the world to have
such a system.
Can family and friends see our pictures?
Yes! All our couples receive secure access details to your
online photo album. You are more than welcome to pass on these access details to
your family and friends. Your online album will also allow friends and family to
purchase additional prints at very competitive prices.
How do we choose pictures for our wedding album?
All our wedding albums are bespoke and unique. We do not
offer a templated approach to your album design. Your wedding album is
designed based on the unique feedback we receive using our online tools
which you have access to both before and after your wedding. Once your designs
have been done you can approve them online. You can then keep track of your album
progress.
How many pictures do we get on your CD only service (Occasions One)?
As a guide we provide over 200 hi-resolution images.
All pictures provided are high quality and consistent. We don't believe in just chucking
hundreds of pictures on to a CD. Consistency and attention to detail is our priority.
Can we purchase the hi-resolution images after our wedding?
Of course! You are purchasing all images available as per above but also
your purchase includes all copyright release which allows you to use all images for personal purposes only.
The CD is packaged just like our Occasions One service which includes a lab photograph inside the CD case. Please see
Additional Services for pricing details.
