Richard Grenfell Photography

I do. Then again all wedding photographers would say that wouldn’t they? However I really really do enjoy wedding photography. The reason for me personally is because I enjoy primarily photographing people, moments and emotions. There are really no other events where you get such a diverse range of human emotion and interaction. This is what I love the most in photography… capturing genuine emotions and reactions.

Also I love the challenge of photographing weddings. Wedding photography has come a long way it is probarbly one of the most challenging genres. You photograph people, details, architecture, work under time constraints, photograph in difficult light, only get one chance to do it. That's why I love it.

My personal pledge to all my clients is to deliver a  sneak peak selection of edited images for you optimised for email and Social media with 24 hours and to deliver all the photos within 21 days. 

Just to get it out of the way, you will get edited images either on a USB drive or delivered online. In regards to how many… it depends. I am guessing you are sick of hearing that. Let the explain.It really depends on the wedding. If you are having a really small short wedding then it tougher to provide a lot of images. A ballpark figure would be 70 to 100 images per hour.  I could supply thousands (anyone can) but I only deliver the best images.

I do it all myself. I really wish I could outsource it as it is such a time consuming task but I just can’t do it for a few reasons. The first one being I am the one at the wedding so therefore I am the one who can remember what it looked and felt like. Also it is the only way I can provide consistent looking images from wedding to wedding. I just think that is not possible if it outsourced to a post-production company overseas which is what many photographers like to do. Frankly I feel that if I am being entrusted with the privilege of photographing a wedding then I should be the one to do the whole thing.

The only thing I do not do is advanced Photoshop work. So say for example for some weird reason you wanted your Aunt Bessie removed from an image and replaced with your Aunt Jackie I cannot do that. Contrary to popular opinion this is something that is hard to do well. I do not have the skills to do it a professional level. I would outsource this and provide you with a quote for the work.

Yes indeed. I know many photographers will stipulate that they are the sole photographer. I personally have no problems with this. The only thing I ask that when I am doing family formals that I am the only one to do that. The reason being is that when there are multiple cameras in the area it can be confusing for the people being photographed where to look and can have an adverse effect on the images and slow the whole process down.
