Examples of my previous work can be found HERE, and I am always more than happy to have a consultation with you either digitally or in person about providing photography for your wedding or engagement. If you have any questions feel free to get in touch via ian@ipsmith.co.uk

Just like every couple is different, every couple’s wedding plans, budget, and photography requirements are different. I believe every couple deserved to have great photos to remember their special day and as such I offer an hourly rate for bookings, so no matter your plans or budget there is a way for you to have great memories!

Whether it’s an on the day surprise shoot, or a planned in set of photos after you’ve popped the question, I am always excited to photograph your engagement and your first steps to becoming a married couple. I offer the same high level of service as my wedding photography and am happy to be flexible to your needs.

Second Photographer: I am happy to either act as a second photographer myself for any part of your day (or the whole day) as well as provide a second photographer if needed. Second photographer rates are TBC depending on how long one is needed for (e.g. if you just want one for morning prep shots vs the whole day).

Expenses: Travel time over 1hr and any overnight accommodation requirements will be subject to expenses.

Photo Printing: Photo prints are not included in the package prices as they can vary wildly from wedding to wedding (e.g. all photos printed at 6x4 with guests copies vs one single A3 print of the bride and groom) however I am not trying to make money on printing your memories so am always happy to arrange for prints to be made at cost price or take you through the steps to get them printed yourself.

Retouching: I’m happy to perform minor retouching as part of the image post-process like removing an annoying spot or a stain on a shirt, however any major image retouching will need to be discussed pre-shoot. Where any major retouching is requested I am happy to perform a test shoot with a case test to show the effectiveness of the edits.
