There are a couple of ways you can book your Wedding Photography with Merv Spencer Photography.
Firstly, you can enquire online to see if your date is free, you can do this by clicking on the Check Your Wedding Date link.
Once I have confirmed that this is free, we can then arrange a chat at my Heanor based studio or you can visit me at one of the Wedding Fayres I am attending.
Once you know you’d like to book me, you can complete the online wedding photography booking form and pay the non-refundable booking fee of £100.00.
We can also complete the relevant forms at my studio if this is easier for you.
Usually just Merv Spencer himself, will attend and photograph your wedding. It’s not about how many photographs that are taken on the day, it’s about the coverage and ensuring that Merv is responsible for capturing your special day.
Experience is the key when it comes to getting the photos, spotting opportunities, timing and working alongside the English weather.
Merv Spencer has been working in the wedding photography industry for a long time and the quantity of photos can be different for each and every wedding.
Merv used to working with film, so the main aim is to get the photo right first time and not waste an opportunity. The benefit to you is that you won’t receive lots photographs that look the same.
On average we will provide you with approximately 200-230 different images from your special day. (Most people tell us, they feel this is more than enough)
Merv’s style of photography is classed as natural and traditional. We’ve seen over the years and from experience, that wedding photographs are to be treasured and its important to get the shots that really matter.
This is why we discuss with you the photographs that you would like and who you want in the group shots, possible photo walks and natural shots.
Our photos are not highly edited and we want to keep as close to the true colours of the day as possible, so the photographs are timeless.
Merv takes along no less than 3 cameras on the day, to ensure full coverage this also helps eliminate swapping of lenses, ensuring that the photography is free-flowing.
Merv has been covering weddings now for the last 30 years and has not missed one. Merv is also part of a large network of professional wedding photographers, that should the worst happen, Merv Spencer will ensure that your day is covered.

Where required, photographs can be taken indoors but remember, this is your special day and you only have one chance to get it right.

We always discuss with you during the pre-wedding chat the photos you want us to capture, which makes the day easier for all sides.
