Wedding tips to achieve perfect pictures

Your wedding is the special time in your life. The costs can escalate when organising your wedding. If you're on a tight budget, should you try to save by getting a friend to take your wedding pictures? Unless your friend happens to be a professional photographer with years of experience, the answer would be "no". You may want to consider these: Can they take pictures in different lighting? Do they own an expensive high tech camera? Do they have back-up equipment in case of an accident or break down? Can you trust them to stay sober and focus on taking natural looking photos that portray the emotions of the day? Are they willing to fade into the background and take good pictures? Can they provide high quality images on CDs and put them into a stylish album or photo book? Most importantly, what happens when the photos don't come out as you've hoped? Is it worth the risk? A professional photographer can provide you with high quality and beautiful images which you can keep and treasure for a lifetime. With full public liability and professional indemnity insurance, they can compensate you in the event of a failure. We work closely with our clients to deliver quality pictures which meet your required style. Let Simon Drake Photography create lasting memories with perfect images and our bespoke album designs.

"At the end of your wedding day, when all the food has been eaten and all the champagne has been drunk, what you'll take with you are your memories and photographs."
- Simon Drake, Founder of Simon Drake Photography
