What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

For us to provide a comprehensive quote for our customers, we really need as much information as possible. Namely the date of the service, the location of the service, the time of the service start. Depending on the type of service requested we also need other information for example a Wedding Request should ideally include the start time and location of the bridal preparations or let us know that they are at the venue. If possible roughly how many people are getting ready there. If the groom is getting ready at the same location how many people are getting ready with him. If getting ready elsewhere and it is possible to cover them for 1/2 an hour then their location too. We would like to know the timings of the day so we can judge how long we have for each stage of photography. We would also like to know what style of photography you prefer being totally formal, partially formal and partially reportage or even just totally informal/reportage.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I strongly recommend that you match your photographer's outlook, portfolio and personality with your own. Try to speak with them in person, a video call or a phone call. It is surprising how much this helps my clients to get to know me and I get a chance to know them. Check that their portfolios show a full range of the service offered for example a wedding photographer should be able to show you evidence in the way of beautiful photography that they can capture the whole range of photos required during the day and in all lighting conditions. Also check what is included in the price, what if anything is extra and how and when the images will be delivered. Are albums or prints extra is a USB included.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

I started my business as a professional photographer after many years of being the family photographer. My interest in photography started when I was about 11. My Dad and I spent many happy days in his little darkroom in the cellar of our house. He taught me about the basics and I carried on his tradition since then. My first wedding was a mock wedding where my wife and I bought a wedding dress and a suit, some cake and asked my Nephew and Niece (who were brother and sister) to be our Bride & Groom. We went to Tamworth Castle grounds in Staffordshire and took a full range of photos. We even had a mock reception, bridesmaid and a best man. We took photos of cutting the cake too. Since then I have done several weddings both here in the UK and also destination weddings in Spain.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

Now although I am new to Add To Event, I have used other Wedding and Event Portals as a supplier. I have found this site the most useful resource for couples looking for the best value photographer for their event/wedding/party etc. It is easy to use well planned out and returns only the results that match your search criteria. I certainly have not received any requests from outside my areas of expertise and non whatsoever out of my area of coverage. This fact alone is essential for me as to spend time only to disappoint a possible client is not acceptable to me. I can happily say that Add To Event has matched my requirement expertly.
