alternative shoots

Let’s be honest here, clothes labelled “one size fits all” don’t fit anybody. We’re all different shapes – how can a single garment fit every individual? It can’t. And it’s the same with your wedding photography; every couple wants, needs and deserves a unique service designed specifically for them... Bet you wondered where we were going with the clothes analogy.

Robert Dann’s wedding photography is firmly focused on making you and your guests look and feel fabulous as you start your married life together. With this in mind, a range of optional extras are available to enhance the already heady experience of getting married.

Robert’s commitment to visual excellence doesn’t stop with his photography: He has strong partnerships with award winning hair stylists, make up artists and beauticians who can work their wonders for you if you’d like. Just ask.

The Bridal Shoot is an exciting, giddy occasion held at a “secret” location, where Robert will shoot a series of stunning bridal images as well as providing you with the ultimate dress rehearsal for final hair and make-up. The shoot can take place up to 2 weeks before the wedding, giving you a taste of what’s to come. This shoot includes subsequent viewing of the images with the bride and is charged at £225, or £395 including full hair and make-up styling.

Alternative shoots are not just about dewy-eyed wonder, purity and warmth. You can create a rather different kind of heat and anticipation ahead of your wedding with the tantalising Seduction Shoot. From any groom’s point of view this can be a special gift from his bride-to-be, but of course the best reason to do it, is for yourself, in an empowering celebration of your own feminine beauty. The Seduction package is a series of sensual and alluring images shot in the studio and on location, for you to present to your future husband... or just keep for yourself.

The Seduction shoot is normally planned a minimum of 3 months before the wedding day and the package includes the shoot, viewing, 20-image hardback album, and personalised gift card for your own message of seduction. The Seduction package is priced at £345, or £495 including full hair and make-up.

Distress the Dress is a shoot that can only take place after the wedding, and this one focuses on the wedding gown itself. The days or weeks that your gown spent locked in a humidified, air tight room or bank vault are now treated with serious disrespect as you let your hair down, celebrate your marriage, and subject your dress to a potentially damaging but rarely lethal, fun packed shoot. Bring towels, new husband, your sense of humour and return home via the dry cleaners. Depending on location, we normally charge just £120 for this shoot – it would seem churlish to charge more for something that can’t reasonably be described as work!

The final choice is how you display your images. We provide bespoke framing of finished single images (starting at £140) and multiframing from £295. If you’re after something a little more contemporary as art for your walls, acrylic panels are available from £315 and stretched canvas panels start at £295.

“I want to provide you with an outstanding photographic experience, a set of stunning images that tell the story of your wedding and marriage. But as well as a photographer, I’m a born romantic, and I’m committed to enhancing your wedding with these alternative shoots, and the right products to display your images.”
