| Frequently Asked Questions
What is your
approach? Pat covers each wedding as a one off event capturing images to
tell the complete story of your wedding. He blends exciting,
creative contemporary imagery with real life photojournalistic
wedding photography.
The strength of Pat’s photography is his ability to capture the
decisive moments as they unfold. This approach leaves you with a
true story of your wedding without spending hours in front of
the camera. Pat's priority on the day is the bride to
fully capture her story as the day unfolds.
Pat is happy to shoot weddings of all sizes, faiths and of
course Civil Partnerships as well.

Do you cover winter weddings? Yes most definitely. Pat photographs all year round and loves
taking advantage of the stunning atmosphere that winter brings.
top
Do you travel? No
problem. I enjoy the challenge of photographing at new
locations.Weddings that are taking place more than 30 miles from Ipswich
will have an additional charge of 50p per mile.
I will require accommodation for any venues over 80 miles
(dependant on location and time of wedding) from Ipswich to
ensure I am fresh to carry out your wedding photography.
Accommodation and travel charges are in addition to packages
prices.

Can we have any formal pictures? Yes, of course. Pat prefers to keep a low profile during much of
the day, however appreciates that most clients require a small
number of relaxed family photographs. This will usually take no
longer than ten or fifteen minutes to complete.
Also if there are any special requests or particular shots
required, Pat is very happy to oblige as he feels that it is
Your Wedding and they are Your Photographs.

Who will the photographer at our
wedding? Your wedding will be personally photographed by Pat.

with a multimedia presentation in our home studio. Presentation

give the best effect for any given image. Hybrid images with
black & white or sepia with colour can be created, see our
