                                                                BEAUMANOR HALL

This rural estate in Leicestershire , once occupied by the military in WW 11 , is a popular venue for couples , not wanting a church ceremony . It has beautiful grounds & superb interior props . Amongst its pleasures is a large stair case , with a outstanding example of stained glass /  window at the top . I have been commissioned at this venue many times and enjoy photographing happy couples here , simply because of the super back drops . Some how i always seem to produce something new , regarding the photographs produced for my clients at this venue . My fees are very reasonable for packages at Beaumanor Hall , starting at around £ 850 . 00 .

When working at venues like this , it is essential that your photographer  has studio flash with them . Also a good range of professional camera lenses are a must , as are several different types of film , at several speeds in colour & black / white . Only the most competent of photographers are commissioned for venues of this calibre !

Beautiful images like this , do not arise often . When they do the photographer must be ready to capture & record special moments like this in there full glory . A photographer  who is aware and alert is a must , if photographs like this are going to be presented to clients , for there Album selections .

In my professional opinion , no professional wedding photographer requires a assistant , to capture those extra images ! At times it would be nice to have a helping hand , to carry some of the equipment . A competant professional , should have all the skills to record the happy couples day . So dont be fooled if a second photographer is offered , has this is nothing more than a Clever Marketing Tool , in my opinion ? Two Photographers need paying , by you the client ?

The only important people on a wedding day are the Happy couple , and it goes without really having to mention , they are the photographers main priority . I have heard so many times in the past & read in many publications  , that the most important person at a wedding is the photographer . This is so untrue ! The clients have commissioned the photographer , after probably consulting many . Once they have made there decision of whom to employ , to photograph there special day , they will  obviously have full trust in there photographer to do his / her job .

Lastly ! There are so called professionals offering cheap wedding packages , to gain experience and to build there folios . I ask myself why ? A professional can build a folio , by photographing model brides in many studios around the country . The only way to gain experience is to get on with it , & learn along the way ! I personally had only photographed one {1} wedding , when i decided to become a wedding photographer and used the images that i had captured to begin the building of my folio . Theres a old saying , " you get what you pay for " This is so true !

I have told so many budding photographers and aspiring part time professionals . "Practice makes Perfect Images " All photographers have there  own unique style , that can be imitated but never copied !

                                                                   " IMAGE FACTS "

1/ True Pro photographs as we know them are produced in the dark room from film !

2/ Professional machine prints are produced from film , by having the film professionaly scanned !

3/ Digital images / prints are produced from raw camera files , jpegs , tiff files and so fourth ! Only if these images have been professionally recorded , by professional equipment , are the prints going to be of a professional standard .

4/ Conventional photography , is a process , by exposing film to light !

5/ Digital imaging is a process , by exposing a light sensor to light !

6/ All photographic reproductions are possible , when the image as been recorded on film ?

                                          " What is professional print & reversal film "

Reversal film is the ultimate in quality & records a positive image . Print film is also a high quality product , that records a negative image . Perfect Images uses both these products to ensure only the very best image quality ! 

                                            " WHAT ACTUALLY RECORDS THE IMAGE"

The glass in the lense records the image , so it is important that only professional lenses are used to record quality professional images . The camera sets the exposure of the image that will be recorded . The visual appearance of the image will depend on the exposure set .
