Wedding Photography by Richard Lake

Simplicity Wedding Photography

- About Me -

My photography is all about providing you with a beautiful memory of your wedding day - combined with excellent customer service.

I have covered a wide range of locations in the Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire area - and am continually adding to the list. If I have never covered a location before, or have not done so for some time, I research the location before the wedding.

  I have developed a relaxed, informal yet creative style that is proving very popular – combining photojournalism with informal poses and a touch of humour to create a wide range of interesting photographs to treasure.

 My packages are all-inclusive, covering the bride’s starting address, the wedding ceremony and the early stages of the reception, if you wish. I can additionally cover later activities by negotiation, like the first dance or firework displays. I only book one wedding a day and timings are planned to make the best use of the opportunities.

 My packages include the cost of the album (except where you order photographs only). The only extras you may have to pay for are a few more expensive albums and when you require some special effects on the photographs, like black & white photographs with colour highlights, which require significant extra work. In the inclusive price, I can provide any combination of colour, black & white or sepia (brown) prints and soft focus effects - the choice is yours. I edit all prints as a matter of course to get rid of litter, traffic signs etc. where these are obtrusive, at no extra charge. I can also open eyes and edit other details.

  I don’t limit myself to a fixed number of photographs on the day – I take as many pictures as there is opportunity to do. I limit the number of formal pictures (if required) to what you and your guests feel comfortable with. I am always on the look out for reportage-style photo opportunities. This gives a varied and interesting set of proofs to choose your album pictures and reprints from.  I can provide a wide range of items after the wedding, including very reasonably priced additional albums, a wide range of sizes of reprints, CDs, canvas prints, calendars etc.
