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 BIPP (The 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 hasn't been 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. Because I am Full-Time I can

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
A wedding shot solely for Hi-Res images without a wedding album for 5 hours photography ideally suited for a civil wedding £795 for friday and sunday weddings, and £950 for saturdays or £1200 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.

Fuel costs vary from £25, 2 hours drive, round trip) up to (£40, 3hours drive round trip i.e to Lake District) from my home address Rochdale

All Hi-Resolution images an extra £350 WITH a wedding album. 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.

My album wedding photographic services start at £950 for 30 pages inc. 50 images, album size is landscape12"x8.5" for 5 hours
for friday or sunday weddings or £1200 for saturday weddings 5 hours. An additional £250 for 8 hours coverage.
This also includes between 250-400, 6x4 proofs ready for you when you arrive home back from honeymoon for £50.
I also ask for a £15-£25 delivery for insurance/ postage of all wedding albums being sent on completion or free if collected in person.

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

Many of my customers do spend more between £1600-£2500 for a larger quality album + extra hours, images, + extra pages required.
My geographical areas include the North West Region that's Greater Manchester for wedding photography, Cheshire, Cumbria
(The Lakes) and Lancashire. However I am open to offers for the occasional wedding abroad in Spain, France, Italy or somewhere exotic for the additional cost of a flight and accomodationfo. 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 45mins+ 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!
