The Reportage Wedding Co has been created by three photographers: David Poultney, Anthony Charlton and Steve Bates, who all have national newspaper backgrounds.

They attend each wedding as a team of two, focusing on candid pictures which offer a modern and unique approach to wedding photography. Together they capture all the unrehearsed moments, from the bride and groom getting ready through to the fun of the evening party. Working unobtrusively and efficiently, they allow plenty of time to celebrate with your guests. The result is a creative reportage storybook of your wedding presented in a stylish, contemporary album.

"We are committed to providing unique, high quality images that capture the day as it unfolds. As a result, we consider it an honour to be photographing your wedding."

1. What happens when we make a booking?
   Upon receipt of your deposit, we will need the wedding schedule so that we can discuss the details. This is extremely helpful when we need to obtain permission to photograph inside churches and registry offices.
2. Will you meet us before the wedding day?
   We like to meet every couple well in advance to discuss their particular requirements.
3. When is the best time for the photographer to arrive?
   Usually we arrive more than an hour before the ceremony to capture the wedding preparations.
4. What about group pictures and formal shots?
   We will shoot a small number of group pictures and formal shots in the normal course of events, but we feel that this is not in our general style for a reportage wedding shoot; this minimises the interruptions to the proceedings.
5. What are the advantages of having a second photographer?
   This ensures that all the activities of your wedding are covered without compromising quality and allows a second angle, which often becomes the favourite picture, to be taken.
6. What format of camera do you use?
   We use professional high-resolution digital cameras. This means we can offer you a choice of colour or black and white prints.
7. How many pictures do you take?
   We will take far in excess of the number of pictures quoted in the prices section. We then select the very best for your proof album.
8. What time will you leave?
   Within reason, we like to leave after the first few dances and the cutting of the wedding cake.
9. Will the photographer require refreshments?
   Arrangements should be made for the photographers to have a meal. This does not have to be with the guests but can be in the kitchen if need be.
10. Do you work nationwide?
    Yes, we work anywhere in the mainland U.K. and we can undertake overseas commissions.
11. How many pictures do couples usually choose for their final album?
    Between 50 and 120, but sometimes more, depending on the size of the wedding.
12. How do we get to see the photographs?
    You will be sent a proof album, bringing together all the shots from the day for you to keep. Your wedding pictures will also be hosted on our web site, which is the quickest and easiest way of showing them to your family and friends.
13. How do we get to design our album?
    You will be invited to our studio for a design consultation - we can spend a morning or afternoon with you. We will go through your photos and help you select an album before planning how it will be laid out with our virtual album software.
14. How long will it take to receive our album?
    Usually three to four weeks after we have designed it with you.
15. How will we receive our album?
    We will either hand-deliver it if local or courier it to you for no extra charge within the mainland U.K.
16. How will friends and family be able to view and order reprints?
    Reprints are available through this website.
17. Why do parent album prints and reprints offer such good value?
    All the editing and creative work will have been done already so we can offer parent album prints at a discounted price using the same high quality materials.
18. Do you keep a record of each wedding?
    Yes, we make two copies which are stored at separate locations. Reprints can then be ordered for years to come.
