Chris Storey Photography

5 (15)

Experienced wedding photographer living in the South West of France with residency and the right to work. Fully insured, qualified member of the Guild of Wedding Photographers.

Working with my wife Joanne as 2nd shooter enables us to shoot your wedding from all the angles, so as not to miss a moment. We come as a pair so you get two photographers included in the price. She’s also great at organising your guests for the group photos and anything else you need help with on the day.

We use Panasonic S5II camera bodies with S Pro lenses, which ensures the quality of our images even for super large prints. For resilience all cameras have dual memory cards recording your precious memories, and we always carry spare cameras (same quality spec).

Our packages start from €1250 for a half day (6 hours) to €2500 for a full day package (12 hours).

Our packages also include a free pre wedding test shoot (if possible). This gives you the opportunity to see how we work and how we edit (nothing is ever outsourced) and to create the look and style you want for your wedding photos.

Your final images are delivered via a private online digital gallery with no limits on downloads, and our full day package includes a 60 page wedding album photo book delivered to your home address.

We always like to have a zoom call with couples looking to hire a photographer for their wedding……drop us a message and let’s arrange a call so you can tell us more about your plans and we can answer any questions you have. We like to show you example galleries and how we manage our communication leading up to your wedding day using an online portal.

We look forward to hearing from you.

All the best
Chris & Jo

What happens if we decide to cancel?

If you change the date and I am available for your new date, then there is no change to cost. There may be additional costs if the day of the week or venue changes. If you cancel entirely then the amount returned depends on the length of notice given. It’s best to pick up the phone and we can discuss the best way forward. I do have a cancellation policy in the contract which you will receive at time of booking. If you’d like to read a copy, just ask.

What happens if your camera breaks

I'm a greedy photographer! I always use two cameras to shoot your wedding day, and I have a spare as back up. This also applies to my SD cards. Each camera has dual SD card slots, which back up all your photos as I shoot them, so if one SD card corrupts, the second will still have all your images. I also use other external back-up drives throughout the day. Redundancy is key!

What happens if you are unable to attend our wedding?

It hasn’t happened yet but it’s a good question. In the unlikely event I cannot make it then I will without doubt do everything in my power to arrange a replacement photographer for you. I am part of a network of professional photographers who are on standby to help each other should the worst happen. If I am shooting with another photographer, the 2nd photographer would take the lead and I would look to arrange a backup 2nd shooter. There wouldn’t be any further costs incurred by yourself and the photographer I arrange would be of similar style to that of mine.

Do you have someone else to be a second photographer if we need one?

Yes. My price already includes a 2nd photographer, my wife Joanne. The main benefit of having a second photographer during your ceremony is getting more photographs and different angles of the same moments! Having two photographers allows us to capture both of your faces during important moments like the vows.

Are you insured?

Yes I am fully covered for public liability globally. If your venue needs to see a copy of the insurance certificate, I can send this to them.

How do we recieve the photos, and how long after the wedding?

You will receive, within 7 days, a preview selection of 20 edited photographs. These will be sent to you via a link to a password protected private online gallery. From there you can view, download, share and order prints of the images. The remainder of the images will be uploaded to your gallery within 4 weeks.

Why should we choose you?

I love what I do. You can build skills into people, but not love & passion, that’s something that comes from within. I also have the camera skills on top of my love and passion for my job, and I aim to create the best possible photographs I can for you. I want to be an integral part of your day. the happiest of your life, it's a responsibility I don't take lightly.
