For your Big Day…
I will capture your Wedding Day or Civil Partnership, and – if you wish – your engagement too. I will provide you with memories which you will both remember and cherish for the rest of your lives.
So, how do we start…
Well, we meet. The Bride & Groom and the photographer need to build a relationship; I need to know exactly what you want for your wedding photography, and I’ll make some recommendations based on experience. This first meeting will not cost you anything, and is without obligation.
Once we’ve subsequently agreed the price and signed the contract, I will reconnoitre your wedding venues to scout out the best locations for your photographs. I’ll stay in contact right up to – and of course after – your big day. Once your photographs are ready, I will deliver them to you myself.
So, how much will it cost…
The big question – how much? Naturally, you’ll want to choose a level of photographic coverage to suit your budget and your requirements. My prices start at £400 for two hours coverage to £950 to capture the Bride getting ready right through to the first dance. We can even go right through to the last guest leaving the reception in the wee small hours of the following morning.

The prices shown are for attendance and services as shown above, and for your wedding photographs on a specially packaged CD. The cost shown does not include the cost of producing prints, albums, or photobooks, but these can be discussed either before or after your wedding.
VAT. I am not VAT registered, and therefore do not charge 20% VAT. (I keep my business turnover below the VAT threshold.)
What photographs will I take?
Weddings have a number of phases which can be photographed according to your needs; – here is a typical list of wedding photographs, and we can discuss these when we meet.
You may have a preferred style of photography:
- Traditional formal wedding photography
- Photo-journalistic style
- A mixture of the two
We’ll discuss your preferences at our initial meeting.
What about albums and prints?
Would you like your wedding photographs to be presented to you in print?
- In a traditional wedding album?
- In a photobook? (don’t forget copies for your parents!)
- A series of prints?
- A DVD slideshow with music?
- How about a canvas?
All your photographs will be professionally printed using the finest materials by a high-quality photo lab.
What other services might you want?
Have you considered having a photographer for:
- Your Bridal Shower
- Your Engagement
- Your Engagement Party
- The Rehearsal
- The Bump
- The Birth
Are you any good, Geoff?
I think so! I leave nothing to chance, and I prepare meticulously. For example, I will bring three cameras to your wedding (and a multitude of lenses). If I only had one camera and it failed, I would no longer be a Wedding Photographer, I would be an embarrassed wedding guest. If two cameras failed, I would be a very unlucky embarrassed wedding guest!
Out of respect for you and your big day, anyone working for Geoff Penn Photography will attend your wedding suitably attired; business suit, collar and tie for the men, or a formal dress for the women. There wil be no casual clothing or embroidered polo shirts worn by us.
