Let's not beat about the bush. Photography is one of the major investments on your wedding day. It's also one of the few things you'll spend your money on that will last beyond the day itself. Your wedding photos are special because they will keep your memories fresh forever, and they will continue to surprise and delight you, and future generations, for years to come.

Engagement photography is a great way to record a special time in your lives together in a relaxed session without the pressures that your actual wedding day will bring. As well as being a momento of an important milestone they can be used to announce your engagement on social media or maybe in print on your save the date cards. It's also an opportunity for us to meet and get to know each other, so you can see how I work and ask me any questions face-to-face.
Or free with the full-day and premium package
Portraits on your wedding day can sometimes feel a little rushed, you want to get back to your guests and the party, and you don't want your outfit to get ruined stomping about the countryside to get the good backdrops. A post-wedding shoot is basically an opportunity to get your dress or suit back on and go somewhere epic without the pressures of the wedding day hanging over you. You also get more control over the weather, as we can postpone if it looks bad!

FAQ
Don't panic, you're not the first person who has said that to me and I'm sure you won't be the last. This is your big day and that means we do things however you want. To find out a bit more about my approach to working with the camera-shy. Check out my blog all about it, here.
Absolutely! I have all sorts of insurance to protect you, your guests, me and my equipment. Your venue may ask you for proof of my public liability insurance. If so, just drop me a line and I can forward it to you or them.
I'm based centrally in Derby City Centre so I generally cover weddings in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire and West Midlands. If your venue is within 50 miles of DE1 then travel is included. I am happy to photograph weddings outside this area but I may have to charge you basic travel or accommodation expenses, just let me know where and I can give you an upfront fixed price.
Each photo I take is lovingly and individually edited to make sure you only get the very best looking images. This does take a bit of time so I give people an outside estimate of 6 weeks after your wedding day, but it's mostly quicker! I'll also send you approximately 10 preview images within a couple of days of the wedding.
Once your photos have been edited I will upload them to a password protected online gallery. I'll then send you an email with a link to the gallery and the password to access it. I will also send you a PIN which allows you to download your photos in full resolution, without watermarks. You can share your password and PIN with whoever you like. I will also send you a personalised USB in a presentation box with all your images on.
Wedding catering is expensive, so I definitely don't expect you to feed me. That being said, a hot vegetarian meal is always welcome, if you feel you'd like to. Either way, I'd be grateful if you'd let me know your plans so I can bring my pack up if necessary. Usually your wedding venue will feed the suppliers after all your guests have been served their meal. And they will seat us in a separate room. Please don't feel that you have to seat me with your guests, I'd far prefer a bit of down time.
In general, yes. Doodah Photography is just little old me. One of my main selling points is that I'm low-key and unobtrusive. You wont have loads of cameras waiting at the end of the aisle for you. However if you'd like to add a second photographer to your package to capture some different angles, I have lots of associates in industry who will happily join me. I use professional photographers who shoot in a similar style to me and I will edit all their images along side my own for a consistent gallery. A second photographer will add £250 to your price.
Booking is easy, use the form on the contact page of this website to drop me a line with the date of your wedding and which package you're interested in. (Or you can message me via Facebook, Instagram or Whatsapp.) I'll check if your date is free and answer any questions. We can then arrange a phone call or Zoom if you want. When you're ready to book, I'll direct you to my online booking form and we'll take it from there.
I will ask you to pay a booking fee of 25% in order to secure your date in my diary. Until it is received your date will be open to other bookings, though if you've expressed an interest I will always check in with you before giving your date away.
The balance of your payment is due 4 weeks before your wedding date. The best way for your to pay is with online banking and I will share my bank details with you if this is what you'd like to do. Alternatively I will accept cheques made payable to Mrs E. Duder but they need to have cleared into my bank by the due date.
Prints and wall art will be available to buy through your online gallery. Your package includes all your digital downloads in high resolution so you can use your own printer if you choose. But if you're looking to treat yourself to some high quality luxury prints or art then the option is available. You can view prices and options here.
You can add an album onto your package at any time from when you first book right through to 6 months after the wedding. There are lots of options to choose from, size, cover material, personalisation, not to mention lay out, so we would work together to create an album that's you love and that reflects your style.
