It is 200% worth it to have a 2nd perspective on your wedding day – as good as I am I can’t be in 2 places at once! My talented partner Olga photographs the boys getting ready while I’m concentrating on the girls, she shoots those carefully designed table and venue decorations while I’m on group and couple photos – in short this is the only way of capturing absolutely everything. For £200 you will receive a whole extra set of high res digital images for your gallery and not miss a single moment – it’s a bargain.
This option is subject to my lovely second photographer's availability, but in all likelihood and with enough notice she’ll be all yours.
It makes me sad to think that so many couples just have their wedding photos hidden away on their hard drives. Create something physical people! Your pictures are made with love and deserve to be enjoyed often.
With this in mind I offer a high quality hardback wedding album as an extra. This is a 13 x 11” coffee table book containing almost every picture from your wedding gallery. I design each spread myself and aim to balance telling the story cohesively with creating aesthetically pleasing layouts. If you’re interested I’ll happily bring along examples to our initial consultation.
Yes I have my very own Photo Booth! Most folks are familiar with the concept nowadays; Booths are becoming an increasingly popular form of wedding reception entertainment.
Essentially it is a funky background, a set of studio lights and a suitcase of silly props with an enthusiastic sparkly photographer at the helm. Not only is it a fun thing to entertain your guests it also provides YOU with another set of pictures to enjoy. Evening guests are often neglected in the wedding gallery (just as coverage generally stops after the first dance and they’ve not long arrived!) the Photo Booth can be a really good remedy for this.
Please note that if your wedding is outside of the Bristol area the Booth is only available in conjunction with hiring my second photographer. This is because keeping you properly entertained is a 2 man job and as my 2nd doesn't drive she needs to bunk in with me and stay for the full day. If you would like both I will sweeten the deal with a 10% discount - giving you both a 2nd set of wedding pictures AND a photo booth for just £450.
I love a pre wedding shoot, especially for couples that are feeling a little apprehensive about being photographed on their wedding day. Its not only a chance to get creative and spend a lovely coupley time making pictures, it’s also a chance to get used to the camera. I find that people who say they ‘hate having their picture taken’ tend to relax a little once they’ve had a proper go at it. It’s a chance to mess about and get to know me while making beautiful pictures to celebrate your engagement.
If you’d rather make pictures to celebrate your first year married you could book an Anniversary shoot! It gives you something to look forward to post wedding and is a really lovely way to celebrate.
And hey if you have little ones why not get them involved too? I have been a family portrait photographer for almost 11 years now, so let me flex my kid whispering skills and get some beautiful shots of the whole clan.
All of the above are sessions that last 1 to 2 hours and include all the edited digital images from the shoot at high res via a download link.
Love is love and I want to celebrate it in all its many forms.
Marriage is not just the domain of the straight and cisgender (though leaf through most wedding magazines and you’d be forgiven for thinking so!) The industry IS changing for the better but has still got some way to go in terms of sensitivity. For instance how many times have you had to fill in your names under ‘Bride’ and ‘Groom’ on an online contact form when indeed both identify as ‘Bride’? These things seem may small but they aren’t – they can hurt.
I’d love my own work to better reflect the wonderful spectrum of sexuality and gender that makes up our society, and so I offer a discount to LGBTQ+ couples in hope of gaining a more diverse portfolio and making sure EVERYONE feels welcome.
Cultural diversity
Do you or your partner’s families have roots in another country or culture that you will be celebrating on your wedding day?
In Nigerian culture the bride and groom sometimes exchange Kola Nuts, symbolising healing or fertility. In Chinese culture white is a traditionally unlucky colour and instead a bride will wear red! Maybe your roots are in India and you are having a Hindi ceremony, or you’re Jewish and plan to dance the Hora?
Much as I enjoy a traditional English wedding I love learning about cultures other then my own, so I offer this discount in hope I’ll broaden my horizons ever further!
Winter or Weekday wedding*
A summer Saturday is a wonderful time to get married but they do get booked up quick!
More and more couples are going for a weekday and/or winter wedding, as their dream venue is WAY more affordable that way! But it isn’t just that. As a bonus winter weddings have a cosiness and atmosphere all their own – faux fur jackets over wedding dresses, twinkly lights and roaring fires! Though the days are shorter the light is low, beautiful (and flattering!) throughout. With enough notice (or in school holidays if you’re a teacher) all your guests will be happy to take a weekday off to see you wed, and hey you can put some of the money you save behind the bar as a thank you!
Weekday and winter weddings are fab for me; my bookings are spread more evenly throughout the year, and even get one or 2 summer weekends off! Hence anyone booking Monday to Friday, November through March will receive a lovely discount.
*November to March
The photos were beautiful and so much better than we expected as we didnt think we were very photogenic! I would definitely recommend Tasha - she's fantastic!
Tasha was much more than just a photographer, from the beginning through to the end she offered really helpful advice and guidance on all the little details.
We are blown away with the photos Tasha has produced for us, each one is genuine and captures completely natural moments of emotion. Truly cannot recommend enough <3
Tasha is amazing! If you're looking for a photographer who beautifully captures photos naturally, supports in your wedding day being seamless and is super creative and professional then look no further!.
