Hurst Impressions Photography

Yes, we have a password protected online gallery where your guests, (with your permission), can purchase downloads, prints, framed photographs or canvas prints through a secure online payment system.

On average photographs will be ready within 2-3 weeks, however, we will post a sneak preview of selected shots on our password protected gallery at by the end of the first week. We carefully edit each individual image to the highest quality in a variety of styles, so this takes time as we often shoot over 1000 images. We then post images on the gallery where you can select images as 'your favourites'. We will then arrange a meeting with you to sit down together and select the images you would like to include in your album, (if you have chosen as part of your package), or to consider the variety of other printing options available to you.

Our pre-wedding or engagement shoot is a great opportunity for us to spend some time together, get to know each other and for you to experience how we work. It is a lovely relaxed shoot where we have a lot of fun together and provide you with amazing edited images before the wedding. You have the option to choose images for your guest signing book or photoboard if this is part of your package. Once you see how great you look, you will be full of confidence and excitement ahead of the big day and the camera will no longer be such a daunting prospect. 

Yes, we work amazingly well together as a team, (after all we have been together for 20 years and sometimes feel we can read each others minds). Having two photographers means that we are able to capture more of the moments happening around us as well as taking shots from different angles often showing a completely different perspective. It also means that while one of us is taking shots of the bride and groom the other doesn't miss the guests having fun together as well as some of those crazy moments that people talk about for years to come.

Ultimately we retain the copyright to the images taken on the day, (this is our only protection against further editing of the images taking place), however, you are granted limited personal licence to print and upload images as you wish.

Some people feel safer having a contract, therefore we do provide all our clients with one. The content of the contract provides us with key discussion points that focus in the finer details of your wedding, it also cements our commitment to each other in a more formal way.

We have full photographer's insurance including Public Liability and Professional Indemnity.

We both use the latest, top of the range Canon 5D Mark IV cameras. We have range of quality lenses including the super fast 50mm f1.2 and  24-70mm f2.8 and 70-200mm f2.8  zoom lenses. We also use wireless flashes to capture the fun on the dance floor and have additional lighting available should we need it.

Over a 12 month period of shooting weddings, portraits and  various events we accumulate thousands and thousands of images. Storage of such a quantity can be expensive, therefore we maintain a backup copy of your images for 3 years after the event. At the end of this storage period we will contact you to check you still have digital copies of your images, if not, they are yours for free before we delete the backup.

Our on-line gallery is an integral part of our website. Each private gallery is password protected and created to suit your particular needs, either simply to view images and select your favourites or to allow your family and friends to purchase digital downloads, prints, canvases and various other available packages. Payments are made through a secure on-line checkout. All our clients receive a personal online gallery, however, you decide on the features you would like to be made available.

There are no watermarks on the high resolution images made available to you, (as you will be using these for printing purposes), or indeed any prints, framed prints or canvases. However, there is a subtle watermark, (small and discrete on the bottom left hand corner), on each of the web friendly images provided to you.

We have collections and packages available that work out cheaper than purchasing each item individually. We also have various quantity discounts available for prints and downloads made via the on-line gallery. In addition we offer a 10% discount on mid-week, (Monday-Thursday) weddings.

Great news if you would like us to be your photographers. Firstly, complete the 'Get in Touch' form, once you have submitted the form we will be in touch to agree a time when we can get together to discuss arrangements, officially secure the date and sign contracts. This is only the first stage of the process, we always like to get to know our clients by having additional meetings and discussions where we confirm the finer details and visit the venue to ensure that everything is carefully planned and all eventualities catered for.
