Can you send us a brochure?

Only a booking fee is initially required. Booking fees are non-returnable and are not a deposit payment.

Not if you book now. The prices given in your quotation and receipt will be honoured even when our prices rise on an annual basis.

That is really for you to decide. Here are some suggestions:
We photograph whoever is dressed first to save time. Home and garden pictures are sometimes reduced to a few minutes if the bride is running late at this stage.
Plan to arrive a few minutes before the scheduled start to allow for photography.
'Signing pictures' will add on very little extra time. Photography coming down the isle will only involve a pause of a few seconds.
As you come out of the ceremony venue another short pause is required. You should then let the guests exist before any more pictures are taken.
If there is a tall set of steps allow a few minutes for a large group photo to be set up. If the grounds are attractive allow up to 20-25 minutes for photography there. Time immediately after the ceremony is strictly regulated at busy registry offices such as Park Circus, Glasgow.
Remember to include traveling time. The time available is determined by the start of the meal and whether or not you want to be at the start of a pre-meal reception. Allow more time if you also want many group pictures with guests.
'Cutting of the cake' pictures are usually carried out in advance of the meal. Allow a few minutes for these pictures so that the lighting can be arranged properly.
We will work for another 2-8 hours taking many more pictures as things happen without the need to allocate time for photography

|
|
|
We have some ideas about how we want the pictures taken. Will you do what we want?
|
|
Please tell us about your ideas before the day whenever possible. Sometimes ideas occur to the couple on the day. Please speak up.
|
What is the standard size for an album?
|
|
There is no standard size or shape. We provide albums in the range 2x3 inch, miniatures, 6x6 inch square, 8x6 inch rectangular, A4, very large A3 and many in between.
|
What type of albums do you supply?
|
|
We offer traditional, book-bound, story book and reportage albums.
Depending on the manufacturer your album can be personalised with your names and date on the front cover. See our album pages showing book-bound albums >
|
How many pictures will you provide?
|
|
We take several hundred pictures even for a small wedding and often more than 1000 for larger weddings to give you a very large choice.
|
Can we have extra pictures for framing?
|
|
Yes, no problem. This option can also be included in a package.
|
What type of discs do you supply?
|
|
We can supply proof discs and later a full screen slide show or video show to music. You can either have a slide show designed to run on a PC or on a DVD player and TV.
|
Can we tell you how we want the album to be put together?
|
|
|
|
|
|
What happens if it rains or is windy?
|
|
In Scotland rain is always a possibility on your wedding day no matter the season of the year. Have an alternative plan for rain that can be put into action at 5 minutes notice. If you have long hair wind is more problematic for photographs.
|
Is bright sunny weather good for photos?
|
|
Strong direct sun is not good. It cast shadows, reduces detail on the dress, and makes people screw up their eyes. A blue sky with a few puffy clouds is good.
|
| |
|
Can you advise me about makeup for wedding photography?
|
|
Think about having a trial session before the wedding with the artist of your choice. A trial session will cost but it is worth it. Please remember that if your face looks much darker than your body and arms this can look very obvious in a photograph especially if you are wearing an off-the-shoulder dress. We strongly suggest you do not wear deep foundation colours, fake tan, blusher, or rouge for example.
Skin blemishes can now be removed digitally. Nevertheless, something subtle to highlight the eyes is good especially if they are deep set. Again do not wear heavy makeup around the eyes. Subtle enhancement of the lips with lipstick is good. Mascara well applied is excellent.
|
Do you know a good local makeup artist?
|
|
Yes. "Bridal Makeup by Gillian" www.makeupbygill.com>. Gillian has done makeup on 12 women photographed by Scotimages to a very high standard for close up photography.
|
I am going to wear a hat. Any thoughts?
|
|
We suggest you do not wear a hat for every picture. Otherwise, hats are fine as along as you do not hide your eyes. Large floppy brims need to be tilted temporarily.
|
I wear spectacles. Will this cause a problem?
|
|
We have to use a little trick that gets round spectacle reflections.
|
Can you fix my teeth in the photos?
|
|
We can often whiten the image of a decaying tooth and fill gaps between front teeth. There are limitations. A gentle smile with the mouth almost closed also works well.
|
Can you remove wrinkles on my face and neck?
|
|
We would not advise you to have all of these features removed. Yes we can remove neck and facial lines.
|
Can you make me look thinner ?
|
|
In some picture and at some angles puffiness under the chin can be removed. A few inches can sometimes be removed around the hips and arms of larger ladies.
|
Can you remove skin blemishes from photographs?
|
|
Red skin blemishes can often be totally removed or toned down. Spots and damage to lips can often be completely removed.
|
|
|
|
Will you take photos during the ceremony?
|
|
Normally we do, but only if the celebrant (minister, priest, rabbi, or registrar) permits photography.
|
Will you supply a list of photographs to be taken?
|
|
When you book you will be supplied with a 'wish list' form to let us know what you want.
|
| |
|
We have (non-adult) children. How can they become involved in the photos?
|
|
Even if your children do not form part of the bridal party they can, if you wish, figure prominently in the pictures taken. How you use photographs afterwards is also a personal choice. These pictures can be included in the album, be recorded on disk or be framed.
|
My parents are divorced and do not get on so I am concerned about that aspect of the photography. What can you advise?
|
|
You should definitely tell us about this situation or any other social difficulty you might have so that we can deal with it tactfully.
