If you don’t require an Album, just the disc of images, then you can substitute your Album for the Disc with any of the first 2 packages below.
The Petite - £385. This package includes the Digital Photobook Album, the Make-Over, your photographic session lasting approx 45 mins and all posing in 1 or 2 outfits (or out of them!). You’ll have 8 fully re-touched images to choose from and you can include them all in your PhotoBook.

You also receive all your 25 images as Digital Negatives on CD for you to keep and print off as you wish.
We love our Make-Overs and to get the very best out of your shoot we do recommend you have our professional Make-Over for that polished magazine look. Nearly all of the images on our website are girls who have had the Make-Over, if you want your images to be as good as these we do recommend you have one. The lights I use are very bright and WILL wash out even a normal heavy make-up - If you have ever watched a documentary of ‘behind-the-scenes’ at a film set or TV studio and thought that they all look really plastered in make-up - there is a reason for this! In front of the cameras it just doesn’t look that heavy - all our Make-Over team are trained in film and studio make-up. If you do wish to remove this option from your package choice above then please deduct £80
NEW for 2010 - if you have booked us through a kind recommendation from a friend then please quote her name when booking - you will both receive a free 7x5” of your choice! Unfortunately this offer is only available for new 2010 bookings made after 1.1.10, although your friend can have had her shoot anytime in the past.
Every pose is fully directed by Nicola and many images are taken. Afterwards Nicola edits all photographs down to the number of images included with your chosen package. * These images then receive lots of our fabulous re-touching so no need to worry about spots, cellulite or batwings! All your final retouched images are uploaded to a private online gallery for you to view. * for the Lavish package we will do 25 poses (with approx 15 photos taken per pose) and I pick the best one to edit, for the Classic this is 20 poses, and for the Petite this is 8 poses.
We suggest you book your session for no later than 2 months before your wedding/event, this gives us plenty of time to get your Album ready for you. However, if necessary, we may be able rush you through within 3-4 weeks! If you choose a package without an Album then 1-2 weeks is sufficient. However, we STRONGLY suggest you book your appointment as soon as you’ve decided to go ahead as we get booked up very quickly. We do work limited weekends and these are subject to small £20 premium. All we require is a £50 deposit and you’re ready to go!
Nicola’s previous brides or brides-to-be booked with Nicola for wedding photography are entitled to a 5% discount off any of the packages above. If you need to change your date then your deposit is transferable within 3 months of your original booked date but unfortunately is non-refundable in the event of a cancellation.
