About Martin Crombie
I
am a Full-Time wedding photographer since 2002, aged
38 born in the North West.
I have been photographing the Lake District since
i was 18 and know the main areas very well for photographic
shots etc.
With bases in Lancaster, I can be in the Lake District
in 1 hour.
I have been photographing weddings now full-time for
6 years and love the excitement of what each wedding
will bring.
I currently hold the following Photographic awards;
BIPP/
MPA Creative Wedding Photographer of the Year North
West 2008
Associate Member of The
BIPP (British Institute of Professional
Photographers)
Associate member of the SWPP
(Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers)
BA(Hons) Photography and Digital Imaging 2:1(Blackpool
& Fylde/ Reading College of Tech)
Top10 for The SWPP Contemporary Wedding Photographers
awards in London 2007.
Regular monthly award winner in the SWPP (Society
of Wedding Photographers and Portrait Photographers)
For your piece of mind I have full Professional Indemnity,
Public Liability Insurance in case of any mishaps
after 6 years shooting this wedding this hasnt be
required.
My Location
For clients getting married in the Lakes I can meet
you nr Lancaster, Lancashire at The Holiday Inn just
off the M6 junction 34 if your travelling up to the
Lake District its literally 1 minute out of your way.
(This works very well)
Or at my home address in Rochdale north Manchester
if this is easier, as people from all over the UK
get married in the Lakes but I also do many wedding
in Lancashire and Cheshire.
Equipment
Since 2002 I have been using digital cameras and currently
use Canon 5d's with a full range of Canon professional
lens all 2.8 glass.
My Style
My wedding photography work is a mixture of fun, creative
and reportage photography. I will not get in the way
of the natural proceedings but will ask you to do
certain things for me which I believe you will benefit
from. At a typical wedding I will take around 600
images and edit that down to 350-400 stunning images
for you to choose from. When you get back from honeymoon
youll have your images waiting for you!
I tend to get booked up early 12 months in advance
so please contact me as soon as possible to see my
full album ranges. My photography is off a high standard
you just have to look around at other photographers
websites to see basic errors they are making at your
wedding like using 1 lens the whole way through and
often this is a wide angle making everything look
too small or if they get too close very bad distortion
of heads not very flattery. With Martin Crombie Photography
your guaranteed wedding photography you can be proud
of.
Pricing
My wedding photographic services start at
£950 for 30 pages including 50 images, album
size is landscape12"x8.5" for 5 hours
This also includes between 250-400, 6x4 proofs
ready for you when you arrive home back from
honeymoon.
I also ask for a £25 delievery fee for insurance/
postage of all wedding albums being sent on completion.
After you have chosen your images to go into the album,
and you have agreed with the design I have done for
you
(signed off via the internet) you should have this
type of album ready within 5 weeks of the wedding
returned with the proofs.
Generally my customers include over 60 images each
extra image is £15 each.
An identical parents album version is also available
for £135 each, or 2 for £250
All Hi-Resolution images an
extra £300 WITH a wedding album, if
you have booked my 2nd photographer usually Tim or
Kevin for an extra £250, then the CD will include
more images hence the extra price of £500.
This is excellent value as it represents around .75p
per image and guarantees you all the images from your
wedding to print off at your own disgression. I do
recommend a 2nd photographer because it makes sense
you only get one go at this well (cough, cough) so
having another set of eyes gives you more to choose
from and keep.
A wedding shot solely for Hi-Res images without
a wedding album for 5 hours photography ideally
suited for a civil wedding £750,
or £950 8 hours if perhaps you have a church
or an evening reception planned and some shots of
the bride getting ready at the beginning.
They will be supplied on a disc to you to print from
or design your own wedding album ready back from honeymoon,
with a mixture of black&white, spot colour and
full colour all colour corrected, sharpened and edited
in sequence.
Many of my customers do spend a little more £1600+
for a better quality album if extra hours,
images , pages are required.
My geographical areas include the North West Region
thats Greater Manchester for wedding photography,
Cheshire, Cumbria (The Lakes) and Lancashire. However
I am open to offers for weddings in Spain, France,
Italy or somewhere exotic for the additional cost
of a flight and accomodation.I stock Graphistudio
digital wedding albums, Jorgensen traditional, Mario
Acerboni, Memory Collections and Albums Australia
books.
How To Book me
Firstly either phone me up or email me with
your enquiry at this point I can check my calender
in the office to let you know there and then if Im
available. If I am then i like to arrange a meeting
afterwards if you'd like to book please complete the
contract
with a deposit of £350.
Some customers like to meet up again just before the
wedding, often at the venue. If it is over 1 hours
drive for me then I charge a fee of £35 to cover
fuel costs, otherwise if you come visit me its no
charge.
If you have any more questions please contact me below,
I look forward to hearing from you!
