Wedding Collection

Everything that matters, in one day

Some celebrations hold everything inside a single day.

A traditional ceremony. A white wedding. Or both, brought together into one day, because the people you love have travelled a long way to be here, and this is the day they are all in one room.

One day can hold an entire story.

Imagine Your Day

The morning is quiet, and then it is not.

Relatives who arrived earlier in the week are already awake in the next room. Someone is on a call to home, holding the phone up so that people thousands of miles away can see the dress. Final preparations happen around you while the day gathers itself.

Then the ceremony. The walk. The vows. The embrace after it becomes real.

Later the room changes. Music, food, movement, laughter. Cousins who have not seen one another in years find each other near the back. People dance with more confidence than skill.

Small things happen everywhere, including the ones you will not know about until you see them.

This Collection May Be Right for You If

  • Everything is happening within a single day.
  • Photography is the way you would like your celebration remembered.
  • Your timeline is focused, and the meaningful parts can unfold comfortably inside it.
  • You would like the heart of the day preserved, without arranging more than the day asks for.

What You Are Choosing

Not a smaller story.

A focused one.

Everything that matters, given room to move naturally from preparation to ceremony to celebration, and nothing added simply because it could be.

Thoughtfully Included

Eight Hours
Enough for the day to be followed from the quiet of the morning through to the celebration, without the ending being rushed.
One Photographer
One person, with you from beginning to end. Someone who learns your family early in the morning and knows, by evening, who matters to whom, which cousin travelled furthest, which uncle should not be missed, which face to watch during the vows.
250 Edited Photographs
Portraits, family, details, and the candid moments between them.
10 Retouched Portraits
Selected photographs given closer attention beyond the usual editing, suited to prints and framing.
Your Gallery, and Every Frame Made
Alongside the edited gallery, you receive every photograph taken that day. Nothing meaningful is left behind because it was not selected.

When Your Celebration May Need More

A single day can still ask for a little more.

A larger guest count may call for a second photographer, so that moments happening in different parts of the celebration can be preserved at the same time.

Preparations happening in separate places may make groom preparation worth including.

A venue with little room for portraits may make a custom backdrop useful.

These are not automatically necessary. They are considered only when they genuinely serve your day.

Before You Decide

This is not the beginning of a ladder.

It is the right collection when everything meaningful is happening within one day.

If your celebrations fall across two days, see the Premium Collection. If you would also like the day preserved in sound and movement, see One Stop Shop.

Our story takes more than one day

A traditional wedding and a white wedding are not the same celebration held twice.

Different clothes. Different customs. Different rooms, different music, different people stepping forward in different ways.

Neither one is the rehearsal for the other.

Imagine Both Days

The traditional ceremony may begin with families arriving and introductions being made, customs carried across an ocean and set down carefully in a hall far from where they began. Colour, prayer, negotiation, laughter.

There may be people in that room who have not stood together in the same country for twenty years.

Then the white wedding. The quiet anticipation of the morning. The ceremony. The vows. The first moments of being married, and the celebration that follows.

Two days with entirely different characters.

Together, they tell the whole story.

This Collection May Be Right for You If

  • Your celebrations are taking place across two separate days.
  • Both days matter to you equally.
  • You would like your traditions, your families and your wedding day preserved with the same care as one another.
  • You do not want one celebration documented fully while the other is only visited.
  • Photography is how you would like both days remembered.

What You Are Choosing

Continuity.

The ability to look back and see how one chapter led into the next, the families meeting, the customs observed, the promises made, and the quiet moments that connected both celebrations.

Two days. One gallery. One story.

Thoughtfully Included

15 Hours Across Two Days
Enough for both days to be followed from the morning preparations through to the celebration, rather than one being fitted around the other.
Two Photographers
So that the main celebration and the reactions surrounding it can be preserved at the same time.
350 Edited Photographs
Both ceremonies, both families, the traditions, the portraits and the moments in between.
20 Retouched Portraits
Selected photographs given closer attention, suited to prints and framing.
Your Gallery, and Every Frame Made
Alongside the edited gallery, you receive every photograph taken across both days.

When More Coverage May Help

Two days can mean separate venues, larger families, and important moments happening at once.

A third photographer may help preserve both the celebration and what is unfolding around it.

A custom backdrop may help when either venue offers little room for portraits.

These are not required simply because your wedding spans two days. They are considered only when they give your people more room to be remembered well.

Before You Decide

The Premium Collection answers a single question: how many days does your story take?

If the answer is more than one, this is likely where you belong.

If you would also like both days preserved in sound and movement, see Stills & Stories.

One day, and we don't want to miss a thing

A wedding does not happen in one place.

It happens in several rooms at once. While the vows are being spoken, someone in the back row is quietly crying. While the toast is being given, an aunt is laughing at something no one else heard.

Some couples make peace with that.

Others would rather not have to choose.

Photographs hold how the day looked. Film holds how it sounded and moved, a voice, a song, the way someone said your name.

Together, they leave very little behind.

Imagine Your Day

The room fills more quickly than anyone expected. Introductions. Customs. Colour. Someone takes the microphone and holds it a little longer than planned.

Then the ceremony. The moment it becomes real.

And then the celebration, where the music starts and does not stop, and the day loosens into something joyful and slightly unmanageable.

Months later, you will watch it again.

Your father's voice will still sound exactly like your father's voice.

This Collection May Be Right for You If

  • Everything is happening within a single day.
  • You would like both photography and film, without treating either as an addition to the other.
  • There are voices, prayers, speeches or songs you would like preserved as sound and movement, not only as images.
  • There are people who could not travel, who will want to see and hear the day rather than only look at it.
  • You would rather not decide afterwards which moments you wish had been kept.

What You Are Choosing

You are choosing not to choose.

Not between the ceremony and the reaction to it. Not between the photograph and the recording. Not between what happened in front of you and what happened behind you.

One day, held in two languages, arriving as one story.

Thoughtfully Included

Eight Hours
Enough for the day to be followed properly, rather than sampled.
A Team of Two
Photography and film working alongside each other throughout. It means the ceremony can be preserved while the room around it is also being noticed.
250 Edited Photographs
Portraits, family, details and the candid moments between them.
10 Retouched Portraits
Selected photographs given closer attention, suited to prints and framing.
A 20-Minute Film
Long enough for the day to play out rather than be summarised. The vows. The speeches. The parts that are usually cut for time.
A One-Minute Trailer
Something to share and revisit while the fuller film is being completed.

Stills & Stories

Both days, and we don't want to miss a thing

Two celebrations. Two atmospheres. Two entirely different kinds of noise.

The traditional day has its own sound, the language, the drums, the negotiation, the laughter that comes from people who have known each other for fifty years.

The white wedding has another. The music, the vows, the speech that someone rewrote three times on the flight over.

Photographs will hold how both days looked.

Only film holds how they sounded.

Imagine Both Days

The first day begins with family arriving, and it is louder and warmer than any schedule anticipated.

The second begins quietly. The preparation. The ceremony. The vows.

And then the celebration that carries both days into one another, the toasts, the dancing, the moment near the end when someone says something they had been holding onto all week.

Years from now, you will not only see that moment.

You will hear it.

This Collection May Be Right for You If

  • Your celebrations are taking place across two separate days.
  • Both days matter to you equally.
  • You would like both photography and film across both celebrations.
  • There are voices, prayers, speeches or traditions you would like preserved as sound and movement.
  • You have family who could not travel, and would like them to experience the days rather than only see them.

What You Are Choosing

Everything, across both days, in both forms.

The traditions as they were performed, not only as they were photographed. The speeches in the voices that gave them. The two celebrations held together as one continuous story.

Thoughtfully Included

15 Hours Across Two Days
Enough for both celebrations to be followed properly, rather than one being fitted around the other.
A Team of Three
Photography and film working together across both days, so the ceremony can be preserved while the room around it is also being noticed.
400 Edited Photographs
Both ceremonies, both families, the traditions, the portraits and the moments in between.
20 Retouched Portraits

A 30-Minute Film
Both days permitted to play out. Vows in full. Speeches in full. The parts that are usually cut for time.
A Two-Minute Trailer
Something to share and revisit while the fuller film is being completed.

Before You Decide

Stills & Stories and the Premium Collection cover the same two days.

The difference is not size.

The Premium Collection keeps how your days looked. This one also keeps how they sounded.

Timeless Collection

We simply want to be present

There is a version of the wedding day where the couple is quietly working.

Checking the time. Gathering people for photographs. Wondering whether something was captured. Being asked small questions during moments they will later wish they had been fully inside of.

No one plans for this.

It simply happens when a day becomes large enough.

The Timeless Collection exists to remove it.

Imagine Your Celebration

You are not counting hours.

When it is time, someone finds you. When family need to be gathered, it is handled. When the schedule shifts, and it will, nothing needs to be renegotiated with anyone.

You dance without wondering whether anyone is filming.

You speak to your grandmother for as long as the conversation lasts.

And before the celebration ends, while everyone is still together, a short piece of the day is already there to watch.

The day ends when it ends.

This Collection May Be Right for You If

  • Your celebration spans several ceremonies, venues or days.
  • You would like both photography and film, complete rather than selective.
  • You have many people to attend to and would prefer to attend to them.
  • You do not want to be managing anything on the day.
  • You would like your photographs to live somewhere beyond a screen.

What You Are Choosing

You are choosing to be a guest at your own celebration.

To arrive, be present, and leave the remembering to someone else entirely.

Thoughtfully Included

Unlimited Coverage
There is no hour that has to be watched. Nothing has to be shortened because time is running out. Your celebration is allowed to be exactly as long as it is.
A Team of Four
Your celebration can be in several places at once and still arrive as one story.
500 Edited Photographs
A full record, ceremonies, traditions, portraits, family, details and the moments between.
30 Retouched Portraits
Selected photographs given closer attention, suited to large prints and framing.
A 60-Minute Film
The celebration permitted to be long. Ceremonies in full, speeches in full, the quiet stretches that carried them.
A Three-Minute Trailer
Something to share early, while the fuller film is being completed.
Same-Day Edits
A short film and two reels, prepared before the celebration is over, so the day can be relived while everyone is still in the room, and shared with the people who could not travel while it is still happening.
A Photo Book
A physical home for the story. Something to hold, revisit and pass on, long after galleries have been closed.

Before You Decide

The Timeless Collection includes the most.

That is not the reason to choose it.

It is the right collection when your celebration is large, your people are many, and you would like to carry none of it yourself.

Thoughtfully Delivered

We never want your memories living in only one place.

Your photographs and films are delivered through two separate experiences.

Your online gallery becomes your digital album. It is where you will revisit your photographs, share them with the people you love and order prints whenever you wish.

Your private cloud archive is where the complete story lives, your delivered photographs and films in their final form, thoughtfully organised and ready for you to download and preserve.

We maintain your private cloud archive for a minimum of twelve months following delivery, giving you time to create personal backups on your own devices and storage.

We will always do our part during that period. We also encourage every family to keep a copy of their own.

Memories deserve more than one home.
