Weddings

Stunning and affordable wedding day photography...

I aim to capture the emotion of your day through a series of natural spontaneous moments mixed with traditional formal imagery. I work in a friendly, relaxed way that will record the story of your day and remind you of details and moments that you may have forgotten all about.

"Hi Neal. We can't thank you enough for our amazing, beautful wedding photos. Thank you for listening to our wishes, for your care and attention to detail and for your gentle, warm but such professional approach . Many many thanks for capturing our day so perfectly and for creating our storybook of lasting, special memories.
Rob & Rach."

I offer a very straightforward choice of wedding packages starting from as little as £550, and am flexible in terms of meeting your own specification or budget. All you need to do is ask!

Please email me for the very latest package information available. Please don't forget to include the date of your wedding so that I can check availability.

What you need to Know: your questions answered...

Are you accredited to any professional organisation?
Yes, I am an accredited member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP).

Are you fully insured to work as a professional photographer?
Yes, I have Public Liability insurance to the value of £2 million and Professional Indemnity cover to the value of £75,000.

How long have you been a wedding photographer?
I have been covering weddings for six years.

Will you cover more than one wedding in a day?
No, I guarantee that this will not happen.

How many photographs will you take at our wedding?
The number of photographs taken will probably run into several hundred images, and at the proof stage you will be shown between 250-350 edited images. The old adage of “quality not quantity” certainly applies to wedding photography!

Do you have back-up equipment in the event of camera breakdown etc?
Yes, I carry spare equipment to cover such an event.

What happens if you are ill on the day of our wedding?
One of the benefits of being part of a professional organisation is that I am involved with a local group of photographers who act as a back-up contingency for each other in the event that illness etc. prevents one of us from attending. (it’s never happened yet though!).

If it rains on our wedding day how will you be able to get good photographs?
I will utilise all available indoor space (church, hotel etc) and still be able to create some memorable images for you. I also carry with me a plain ivory golf-style umbrella that the bride and groom can use outdoors to good effect.

How long will you remain at our wedding?
That’s dependant upon the coverage you have chosen but my time is not rigidly fixed. I’ll stay for as long as it’s needed to fulfil your expectations.

Do you work on your own or with an additional photographer?
That again depends upon the coverage you have chosen / the number of guests / size of venue etc. Typically I do like to have a second photographer with me as it gives a more varied coverage of your day.

How will we get to see our proof images? How long will they take?
My current preferred method is to create for you your own online wedding portfolio on my website, which can be password protected for privacy. Other options are available if preferred (proof books etc). At the busiest time of year your proof images are usually ready within 3 weeks of your wedding, and sooner than that at quieter times.

Are your wedding packages “set in stone” or are they flexible? Can we meet with you to discuss our day?
I am completely flexible with my service options and would love to discuss your day with you. Please get in touch so that I can fully understand what you need.

How do we book you!?
Please send me an email to check my availability. If I am free I will provisionally reserve your date for you and send you a booking form. Upon receipt of the booking form and retainer deposit (£100) I will confirm your booking and save the date just for you!

Wedding Products...

With your wedding package you have numerous products that are now available to choose from, all of which are of the highest quality and attention to detail. From images supplied on disc in luxurious leatherette cases through to sumptuous albums, wall-art and more, the products suppled by me are made to a standard that can't be attained by High Street suppliers. All of the products offered can be purchased after your wedding, and you will shortly be able to suggest to family and friends that they can purchase neal laver photography gift vouchers that can be used towards any of the products or services I offer.
"Hi Neal, thank you so much for the beautiful photo album - it's loved by everyone. Fantastic attention to detail with the design and presentation - very much appreciated. Thank you for capturing our special day."
