Grant King Photography Full Description
It is going to be the biggest and best day of your life and my job is to capture those real, candid and authentic moments that truly tell the story of your day. So, what is it like to have me photograph your big day? I am a big believer in trying to make your day as stress free as possible, I work closely with you in the build-up to the big day, making sure to know and understand the style you require so as to be fully prepared to capture those fleeting moments and turn them into meaningful memories that will last a lifetime. On the day I will work with your wedding venue to make sure that behind the scenes everything runs smoothly, so you can relax into having the day of your dreams. Plus, you also get an expert wedding dress train carrier. (I have done this for every bride I have worked with when moving shoot locations!) As for my photography style, I like a nice, relaxed and unobtrusive approach capturing those moments of fun you may have missed, as well as the all-important posed photos that will take pride of place on your walls (both physical and the social media variety!)

He was friendly but professional

Grant photographed our wedding in September 2022. He was friendly but professional from the very first time we met him. He clearly understood us and the fact we wanted the photos to be more natural and less staged which was great! The pack that Grant put together with all of the photos and video were fantastic and just added to the already beautiful photos of our perfect day. I would thoroughly recommend Grant to anybody looking for a wedding photographer!

Incredibly lucky to have Grant as our Photographer

We were incredibly lucky to have Grant as our wedding photographer, he was polite, on time and took the most beautiful photographs of our day. We could not be happier with the images and how quickly Grant got them to us. We have recently just had our first child and we can’t wait to use Grant to capture her growing and our family growing. Thank you for capturing our perfect day, you’re the best.

Service and attention to detail were incredible

Grant photographed our wedding back in May and did an absolutely amazing job! The service and attention to detail were incredible. Grant is incredibly friendly and was able to make even my awkward husband relax. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a photographer.

Our Wedding Photos were everything we wanted

Our Wedding Photos were everything we wanted and more! Grant helped us throughout the process: planning what kind of shots we wanted, coordinating with the venues and making sure not a moment of our day was missed. We have the most amazing photos from our wedding that really captured the spirit of our day. An amazing service and wonderful to work with!

11/10 would recommend his services.

Grant provided an excellent 5* service before, throughout and after our wedding. Every moment, every person, every emotion has been captured perfectly through his photos. We’ve had a very friendly but professional chat with Grant about our requirements for the big day, but we’ve got much more than just a photography service from him at the end. Whenever I need some cheering up, I always look through our pictures. I can’t thank him enough for agreeing to be our photographer. 11/10

Grant gave us nothing but a 5* Service

Grant gave us nothing but a 5* Service on our special day! He met with us at our venue for a pre wedding tour and chat to discuss his plans and any concerns and requirements we had, which put us both at ease. On the day Grant's time keeping was spot on, guests also complimented on how easy and relaxed they were with Grant around. Grant took so many incredible photos for us including the odd one we had no idea he was there! Grant was always in the right place at the right time! Couldnt recomme

He is very reliable and always responds quickly

Grant is a great photographer and gives a high standard service at a fair and realistic price. His friendly and courteous nature means everyone feels comfortable being photographed. We’ve hired him personally and been at other events where he has photographed and everyone we know has been delighted with their photos. He is very reliable and always responds quickly to requests.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

A very last minute booking where the bride & groom had been let down twice due to ovid with photographers letting them down, I was booked with just a few weeks to go & it has become one of my very favourite days behind the lens. It was such a fun & relaxed day where I was truly sorry that I had to leave the party behind.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Relaxed, Creative, Fun, Considerate, Relaible

What about your business are you most proud of?

The fact my couples all feel at ease with me. whether they have studied Instagram & pintrest or they are super shy in front of a camera. I make wedding photography fun & stress free which results in some precious memoris being captured.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't allow yourself to get too overwhelmed by worrying about others. It is your day, so make it about what makes you happy. not what the guests, venue or Photographer want to happen.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I had a bride & groom where the Groom was a Ice Hockey player & the Bride was partial to an afternoon tea. The centre pieces on the tables were customised Hockey Pucks & up & saucers.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once a couple get in touch (or filled in the website enquiry form), I would send an initial questionnaire asking for some more details about the day. Before we even discuss pricing, we would arrange a phone call (or zoom chat) to have a chat about the day & what the expectations were from me in regard to the coverage they would like. during the call we would have a chat about themselves, the venue & any details about the day before. once we have discussed the pricing, if a couple chooses to work with me, we set up a Whatsapp group chat to discuss anything at any time in the run up to the wedding. About 3-4 weeks before the wedding we would arrange to meet up for a pre-wedding "engagement" photoshoot to look at the venue & get used to each other’s personalities (& get used to being in front of the lens. go over any last-minute changes or details &generally make sure things are ok at both ends. On the big day it's simple - your wish is my demand!! - I will liaise with the venue to make sure that everything is running smoothly & on time to take the stress off your shoulders so you can enjoy your day. If you have booked for a full day you will receive one of our signing frames that will have a photography taken during our engagement photoshoot that will be placed with pans to be signed by your guests, before I leave on the night that image will be swapped out for your official wedding portrait & left to continue to be signed (alongside some cards with the password to your private gallery on my website where your guests can view your wedding images once you have seen them). the next day I will send you a hand full of Sneak peek images via Whatsapp to share with family & friends to keep them at bay! Once all the images have been edited, we will arrange to meet up & I will present your engraved wooden USB key containing your Wedding Gallery along with a slideshow of the highlights set to the song from your 1st dance. At this point I will open the gallery for your family & friends to be able to enjoy the images.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

I call it the Grandma picture - one traditional picture of just the bride & groom in a classic pose so Grandma can have it on the bookcase!!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

I had a Groom who wanted me o take a photo with his Groomman who was passed out on the Lawn of the venue.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Don't panic!! - both myself & the venue will have congintancy plans in place!

Describe how you got into photography.

ever since I was a child I had always been the kid with the camera in hand at every event. As I have got older my hobby has turned into a passion.
