Cheshire Wedding Photography - What happens when you book Louise Jacob to photograph your wedding?

I’M INTERESTED IN BOOKING YOU WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

Great! If you’re interested in booking please fill out my contact form, give me a call or email, I get booked up to two years in advance so the sooner you start the process, the better.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Once I’ve confirmed that I am available for your wedding I’ll email you over my wedding guide.  If I'm not available on your date, I will be happy to recommend  available documentary photographers for you.

WE'D LOVE TO BOOK SO WHAT NOW?

A £500 non-refundable retainer secures your wedding date, I have my bank details within my contract.

WILL WE TALK BETWEEN BOOKING YOU AND OUR WEDDING?

So I have the main details about your wedding, but for now, there's not that much to do as a lot of the day won't be planned yet but if you need to speak to me about anything then please do get in touch. There's very little I can do until around six weeks before your wedding.

SIX WEEKS TO GO…

The balance of your payment is now due, and around this time I’ll get in touch with a plan of your day as I know it.  Over the next few weeks we'll work together to fine tune it – We’ll set aside time in your day for couple photographs and formal photographs.  If you are having a church wedding now is a good time to ask your vicar if there are any photography restrictions during the ceremony. I'll also ask you to plan a list of between 5 and 8 group photographs.

AROUND THE WEEK BEFORE!

It's all very exciting now! I’ll be in touch to check timings and to confirm final details.

THE WEDDING DAY!

I shoot with two Sony mirrorless cameras, which are really unobtrusive and quiet and I have plenty of batteries and memory cards to sink a battleship. I have back ups of everything too and I am ready!  The only thing I need you to do today is to enjoy yourselves!

AFTER YOUR WEDDING

After your wedding, I will go home and back up your images (twice) and over the next few weeks, your photographs will be lovingly edited by myself in my signature style. Unlike some photographers I don't outsource my editing.  Around 4-6 weeks after your wedding, you will receive a link to your very own password online gallery to view, download and share your wedding photographs with your family and friends.

Cheshire Wedding Photography - Why I Love This Image by Louise Jacob

I absolutely love light.... which is a good thing, I suppose being a wedding photographer because without it I wouldn't have a job.   At every wedding I'm always scouting out the best light, so when a beautiful evening like this happened at West Tower it would have been rude not to embrace it fully.

Relaxed couple portraits are something I always offer alongside my documentary wedding photography package, it's so important to have some alone time away from your guests to take a moment to reflect upon the day and gather your thoughts.

Are you getting married at West Tower? Or indeed anywhere else in the UK? Would you like to hear more about my relaxed approach to wedding photography?  Well say hello, call me on 07531938693 or visit my contact page to find out more.

Why I love this image.

As a Documentary Wedding Photographer, the First Dance is something I love to capture candidly and there are many reasons I love this image.  I love the joy on the grooms face, I love the movement in the brides dress and the detail in her hair, I love the happy faces in the background and I love those beams and fairy lights. In fact this room (The Georgian Riding School at Firle Place) was a dream to shoot in.

A documentary approach to your wedding day means that none of this is set up. The first dance happened without orchestration from anyone but the bride and groom.  When photographing the first dance, I love to capture it from many angles and I always move around the bride and groom I love working with on and off camera flash too and I love getting creative with my shot..

Camera Settings:-

Nikon D750 // 24mm 1.4 @ F5.6 // 1/125th // ISO 1600 with off camera flash set camera right to Manual @  1/64 power

CHESHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY - ODDFELLOWS

I'm a spaniel lover at heart but I love this French Bulldog peeking over the shoulder of the bride at one of my Oddfellows weddings in Chester.  I love playing with available light and shadows in my images.  Oddfellows is an amazing wedding venue to shoot at in Cheshire - every room is full of quirkiness and the light is gorgeous through those huge sash windows.  You can check out Kirsty & Tony's full wedding here.

Camera Settings: D750 // 35mm // f4 // 1/200 // ISO 3200. Edited in Lightroom

Cheshire Family Photography

Meet The gorgeous Grattage Family who I met in Anderton Nature Park in Cheshire for a little snowy pre-Christmas shoot last month.   I couldn't share this gallery before Christmas as they were going to be used for presents but here they are - we had so much fun!  We even had a dusting of snow which made for some very beautiful pictures.

If you're thinking about booking a relaxed no-posing family photoshoot with nature as your backdrop then give me a shout I would love to come and hang out with you to create something like this for you!

Dog Days!

Oh my Schnauzers!  Just look at this cuteness... completely off the scale!  Here are some images from a recent shoot with Hannah, Gareth and their gorgeous bundle of fur, Polly!

Taken in Sandiway where I usually walk my crazy spaniel, we had the most amazing winter morning sunlight for our shoot! If you fancy some pics with your pets, please say hello and tell me more! I'd love to meet you!
