- The best thing to do is browse through my gallery as I aim to stand out. It would be wrong to characterise it as just one style. At certain parts of the day, it is important to capture the action in an unobtrusive photojournalistic style (ceremony, speeches, first dance etc). But I am also keen to spend at least 30 minutes with the couple on contemporary poses which flatter, make the best use of light, surroundings etc and ultimately yield the more innovative and dramatic “wow” images. This part of the day is more about artistic creation rather than documenting, but couples find this slot fun and love the results. Finally, most couples want a few traditional groups shots. (top)
- The price depends on so many factors including the time of year, length of coverage, album-type, CD etc. If you contact us and tell us the brief details of your wedding, we will respond within 24 hours. The price range is typically £1000 - £2000, but there are some cheaper packages available in the week. (top)
- Traditional leather hand-crafted albums made by Jorgensen of Australia and modern hand-crafted coffee table books made by Loxley Colour. There are lots of variations in terms of size and finish. The design of albums always gets emailed to the clients for approval before they are manufactured. Clients are always encouraged to visit to view the quality of our sample albums for themselves.

- DVD slideshows with music for watching on your TV; online slideshows; a selection of frames etc. (top)

- Yes. Prices for additional prints and enlargements start from £7.50; and these can be ordered securely by anyone on the website using debit/credit cards and e-cheques. (top)

- Since I capture images digitally, I can offer a mix of both - depending on your preferences. (top)
- Yes. The other thing to note is that my camera has a dual memory system – which means that every photograph I take is immediately copied to 2 cards. If one were to fail for some reason, the other has a copy of all the images taken on the day. (top)
- Yes. Please email me with the basic details of your wedding (eg summer, church and reception) and will provide you with some links that will allow you to view a whole wedding online. It is important that you assess a photographer’s consistency. You might also wish to take a look at my blog (www.garyroebuckblog.net) where I post my favourite images from each wedding shoot. (top)
- I don’t have quotas, but full coverage might involve taking around 700 images which would get edited down to about 250. These 250 are individually processed/retouched before you get to see them. I want to clients to be seduced by the quality of images not the quantity. (top)
- Typically 2 days on image processing/retouching and album design. (top)
- They are normally available for viewing on the website within 7 days. (top)
