Lucy Onions Photography Full Description
Photography, particularly wedding photography is my passion. I know, first hand, how important your wedding photos are. You don't want a wedding photo album that you stick in a cupboard, gathering dust or hide away in a dark, gloomy corner of your loft, never to be seen again, do you? No. What you want is a great looking wedding album, with original, unique and fun photos that document your special day perfectly. Photos that you want to look at again, and again, and again. You want photos to be proud of; that you feel proud of sharing with your family and friends. My clients praise me on the fact that I don't stick out like a sore thumb. I blend in. I mingle. I am a guest. This shows in my photos. I have this ability to make my couples feel relaxed and at ease. I want you to have fun with your shoot. I don't go for forced poses and fake smiles. Of course, you'll want some "traditional" photos but you can still have traditional images that are modern, informal and most important of all, show you at your best. Your wedding day should be one of the.most important, happy, joyous, memorable days of your life and I strive to capture this in every image I take. £550: Ceremony, right through to and including first dance. 4 full page prints of your choice. £700: Bridal Prep, Ceremony then right through to and including first dance. 4 full page prints of your choice AND a 16" X 12" canvas OR a 26 page, coffee-table style photo book. £850: Bridal Prep, Ceremony then right through to the end of your night. 4 full page prints of your choice, a 16" X 12" canvas AND a 26 page, coffee-table style photo book. You will receive a Photo disc/USB whichever package you decide to choose.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

“Lucy, we just wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our wedding day so perfectly. We hardly realised you were there and did not at all feel like we were away from our guests for more than a few moments, yet it seems you did not miss a second of our special day. The photographs are breathtaking and the happiness shared by everyone is evident in abundance in your natural, reportage style shots. We cannot thank you enough for providing us with such a previous record of our magical day. You have done us both proud and we will recommend your services to all our friends. A natural professional!”

She made our day very special and our photos individual and a pleasure to look at. If you want a photographer that listens to what you want on your day, I would say Lucy Onions every time!! Thanks Lucy x”

Unique, stylish photos.

“If you want the same wedding photos as everyone else- don't go to Lucy Onions. If you want unique, stylish photos that capture the essence your day, from a photographer who is genuinely interested in you- then DEFINITELY go to Lucy Onions! She is fab.”

Lucy totally nailed it!

“Over the years we have had very few Spin Doctors pictures that captured us in our element. Lucy totally nailed it – off the cuff, after a show, just hanging out backstage. One of my favourite pictures of us ever. Thanks Lucy!”

Her enthusiasm was contagious.

“Lucy was professional from the outset, talking through the photos before we got started on the shoot. Her enthusiasm was contagious – Lucy had us all giggling away while she was snapping. The end result was amazing and we relived the day again looking at the photos. Memories were created that day and the smiles come back every time I see the pictures.”

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Oh gosh, it's really hard to choose. On a personal level, it was shooting the wedding of my very, very good friends, Leigh and Nick at the Hundred House Hotel. It was just a spectacular day with two sets from local legend, Yam Yam Elvis. Then, the most unique one was a shoot I did in a windmill in Rayleigh which went on to Southend-on-Sea Pier for afters. All my weddings are memorable to me though in one way or another. I just feel incredibly privileged to be part of something so important.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Quirky. Natural. Fun. Unique. Fabulous.

What about your business are you most proud of?

That's easy! The rapor I strike up with all of my couples and their families and friends. I come away from each shoot with brand new friends. I often meet up, socially, with my couples and/or their families on more than a few occasions after the event. It's just fantastic to have that connection with them.

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

I would say, don't let others dictate. You're only going to do this once and your wedding day should be exactly how you want it to be. Don't try to please anyone else other than yourselves. You want to look back and say, "wow, that was awesome!" not, "If we had to do it all over again, I would..."

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

The list is endless, seriously. From the "cheese" cake to the shopping trolley. From the gelato to the surprise, Stoke City themed wedding cake. From the limo to the horse racing. And then, of course, there was Yam Yam Elvis.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once first contact has been made, I arrange with the couple to meet up either at their home, mine or somewhere mutually convenient and a time that is convenient for them. It hasn't got to be straight away, whenever they are ready. At first meeting I allow the couple to tell me what they want. We discuss themes/styles, type of ceremony, venue - everything. I will listen but I will also give my own opinion if it is necessary. I believe that's why I've stayed friends with my couples; we tend to hit it off at that very first meeting. The couple will be asked to pay a £100, non refundable deposit, to secure their date. I then meet up with them again, and again at a time and place that is convenient for them. And I will meet them as many times as they feel necessary before the big day. Generally though, couples seem more than happy on the two meetings. The outstanding balance can be paid in instalments leading up to the day (there really is no set time for instalments. We can arrange to suit) or it can be paid in one go. As long as it is paid, in full, at least one week before the big day, then we're all happy.

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

I can't say what their #1 photo should be. It differs for every couple. All I would say is to keep traditional, forced poses to an absolute minimum. Let's show everyone how much of a good time you had on your wedding day. I'll let you look at my photos and you can make your mind up on that.

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

You know, I've never been "asked" to take a particular photo. I'm very lucky to say that my couples trust and believe in me to document the whole day. Of course, I ask couples to let me know if there is anything specific they want me to get, but other than that, I have free reign.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Don't let it get you down! Mother Nature is a fickle woman and there's nothing you can do about bad weather. Take it on the chin. If it's teaming down with rain, we stay inside in the warm but I do love wedding dresses and wellies and its amazing what you can get up to with an umbrella!

Describe how you got into photography.

I actually started off in gig/live music photography and did a few weddings on the side, just for experience. I've always had a passion for creating striking images. Incidentally, 90% of my wedding couples have checked out my music photography as well as, and in a few cases, instead of, my wedding photos. I love to add a bit of rock n' roll to my images. Give them some edge.
