Weddings: I have recently carried out my first wedding, which was a great success, and I've now got other weddings booked. As I am new
to wedding photography, I am currently charging around £250 to cover weddings (negotiable), so that I can build up
my portfolio. As well as my attendance at the actual wedding, this fee also covers what can amount to a day or more
processing the photographs on the computer.
Community Events, Live Performances, Portfolios, etc.: I am also available for more general photography, including portraiture, community events, charity work, live
performances, bands, portfolios, publicity, etc. I use professional Nikon Digital-SLR equipment along with lighting and
portraiture background equipment, always carry backup cameras and lenses, have
full Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance, am Police/CRB-checked and and can travel.
Location: Whilst I prefer to work in South Wales, I am prepared to travel further afield, and visit Bristol several days a week - and if you twist my arm enough, then I'll even consider an all-expenses trip to Thassos :-). All fees are
negotiable, and are obviously subject to how much work and distance is involved. Please see the
Services page where you will find more information about the work that I offer.
CRB/Police Check: There are three levels of CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) Check: Basic, Standard
and Enhanced. Self-employed people, like myself, are unable to have themselves CRB checked to either Standard or Enhanced
Disclosure level. However anyone, upon proof of identity and payment of the fee, is able to obtain a Basic Disclosure (for example,
through Disclosure Scotland, an Executive Agency of the Scottish Government) and is also able to make a Subject Access Request
to ACPO Criminal Records Office in Fareham to ask whether there is any information held about him/her on the Police
National Computer. I have done both of these things, and am pleased to say that the documents sent to me from these two
agencies show that there is no information held about me on the Police National Computer and that I do not have any criminal
convictions or cautions. I am happy to bring these documents to any initial meeting, if you wished.
Photos taken at festivals and events in 2010: This year, I am delighted to have been booked as either the main or guest
photographer at several festivals and special events in Wales and the South West. These include: 'Pink
Walks' Breast Cancer charity sponsored walks, Bristol City Council's Bristol's Biggest Bike Ride, Neath Port Talbot
