How many pictures will you take?

There is no specified number of images that will be taken, and every wedding is different. There are also several factors that contribute to how many images are taken, such as Coverage option booked, time allowed for photography, willingness and availability of subjects on the day, the package chosen, the weather, and the number of requested groups on the 'must have' list! There are normally at least 200+ images on the basic coverage (often considerably more) to choose from and increasing with each package.

How many photographers do you employ?

When you book with us, you are booking Chris Hill as your photographer. All the images on this website and any albums you are shown will have been taken by Chris. This ensures you are seeing the samples of the actual photographer attending your wedding, and not seeing the best work but getting a less experienced operator on the day. Chris prefers to work as sole photographer so he knows exactly what has, and has not, been captured, rather than assuming a 2nd shooter has covered something that they may actually have missed! Chris often has an assistant, but not usually a 2nd photographer.

How many weddings have you photographed?

By the time we got to 500+ weddings several years ago, we stopped counting! Chris has been a professional wedding photographer since 1988.

Can we have Black & White?

Any image may be printed in Colour, Black & White or Sepia - at no extra cost. You can decide once you have seen the previews.

How will we see the images after the wedding?

After returning from honeymoon, you are invited to view your wedding as a slideshow in the studio. After the slideshow, we can answer any questions you might have. You will be supplied with three CD's, one for you, and a copy for each family to enable you to choose your favourites for your orders. These CD's will work on both PC and MAC without the need for additional software. The CD's expire after 6 weeks, so it is important to place orders before this occurs. It is not possible to access individual files for printing or email from these CD's. For online gallery, see below.

Will our images be on the Internet?

An online gallery via the Client Area of our website www.christopherhill.co.uk is included in all packages. A password is required to access your gallery. We also have a 'Recent Weddings' gallery on the website where a few of your images may be posted if you have given permission (on the booking form), for your wedding photos to be displayed. This area is available for public viewing without a password.

Do we get digital images on a CD?

Two options are available for 'Coverage + Digital Files'. See coverage options 'D' and 'E' on the price list. These options are ideal if you want professional images but prefer to source and design your own album.

On bookings that include an Album, a disc of the images is available for purchase. The price is calculated on the value of your package.

Some of the all-inclusive packages include a disc.

Can we have more pages in our album?

Most wedding albums can have from 12 pages (24 sides) up to 30 pages (60 sides). Additional parent albums from 6 pages upwards.

Digital Re-touching and Manipulation?

Digital re-touching of minor spots or skin blemishes may be carried out free of charge at our discretion. For digital manipulation, see below.

Digital manipulation of images, such as colour flowers on a Black and White image will incur a labour charge depending on the complexity of the work required. Each image will be assessed individually, and quoted for accordingly. The manipulation cost is a one-off fee per image; additional copies may be purchased at normal reprint prices. Whilst we aim to please, we reserve the right to decline manipulation orders.

Do you stay for the first dance?

There is an option to continue coverage until the end of the speeches or extend further until the first dance. Some packages include coverage from bridal preparations to first dance as standard.

How far do you travel?

Weddings are covered nationwide with travelling and accommodation costs added where applicable. However, the majority of weddings covered are within a 20-mile radius of the studio and travelling costs are included within this area. Due to the impractical nature of travelling on public transport with valuable equipment, London and other inner city weddings will be subject to congestion charges, parking fees and taxi fares where applicable.

Do we need to feed you?

If coverage is continuing beyond the wedding breakfast, refreshment for Chris and his assistant, is always appreciated when provided, but certainly not considered 'expected'.

What else do you offer?

There are many additional extras available on the "Just Married" price list that is provided when you collect your previews. Items include: DVD slideshow, parent albums, coffee table books, mini pocket books, framed prints, multi image frames, canvas wraps, acrylic wall portraits, thank you cards, calendars, double and triple portfolios. Other products may be sourced on request.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
