Laurence Sweeney Photography Full Description
Our journey with a couple usually starts with a consultation, where we get to find out more about you and your families, your likes and preferences. Hopefully, we will find that we are both a match. We recommend a pre-wedding shoot, usually about 4-6 weeks prior to your wedding, this is another step in getting to know each other better and to practice "walking and talking" at the same time :)
On the big day, we arrive about 2 hours before the ceremony and stay with you until about an hour after the first dance. Every single image is checked and edited to a high standard and we are usually in a position to present the photos within 4 weeks after your wedding. We have a great reputation for being helpful, friendly and professional and feedback from our clients is exception. We love producing WOW images that will re-create wonderful memories of a magical day.
