"Vicky and Phil are wonderful! They made us feel so at ease and we love the photos of our special day. On the day, they were so unobtrusive and half the time we didn’t even know they were there. We’d 100% recommend Vicky and Phil to anyone and everyone planning their wedding"
Amy & Stuart
A: Absolutely, we're a husband and wife team who always work together, book us and you'll know exactly who will be there on the day, Vicky and Phil.
A: In 2002 Phil 'Senior' married Vicky 'MacDonald' and Senior Mac Photography was born! We’ve been happily married (even with three kids!) and loving every minute, ever since.
A: Whilst we'd love to say yes to every enquiry, with the amount of time and care we put into preparing for every wedding and the several days of editing afterwards, we limit ourselves to shooting no more than 75-80 weddings each year.
A: Typically our style is a fusion of relaxed documentary and fun images, with some elegant editorial style wedding portraits and a few traditional family photos too. We have shot many weddings in a purely documentary (fly on the wall) style with nothing posed, so if that's what you're looking for please do get in touch and let us know.
A: Typically we look to arrive a 2.5hrs before the ceremony start time, which gives us plenty of opportunity to capture everything we need without us getting in the way of the early stage preparations.
A: We take bookings as much as 3 years in advance, but do get in touch even if your wedding is just a few weeks away and we’ll always be happy to help if we can.
A: We size the images as large as we can without filling up your USB media. We want you to be able print your pictures nice and big and display them proudly around your home!
A: We work a little magic on all of our images, but never to the extent that they look un-natural.
A: We have both public liability and indemnity insurance, certificates can be provided on request.
A: We have multiple backups of all of our equipment.
A: We offer prints, canvases and other items in a variety of sizes.. The prints and other products are all of the highest quality and delivered directly to you within a few days.
A: We include up to an hours travel in our prices but will consider travelling anywhere.
A: For the variety of images and different angles we like to capture, one photographer wouldn’t be enough, you simply can't be in two places at once. Then there's the posed family photos (which are optional) to keep the parents happy, with two of us we can make organising them as quick and painless as possible, while ensuring they still look great.
A: Our booking fee is £295, which is deducted from the final balance.
A: Two calendar months before the wedding.
A: We're both full time photographers. We have experience in most types of professional photography, but have been specialising in weddings since 2008.
A: Yes, yes and yes! We pride ourselves on offering a personal service where we build a good relationship with you before the big day. Nobody wants to have two strangers wandering around at their wedding, for us booking via email and then not meeting at least once before just doesn't feel right. We do like to meet all of our couples before booking if we can, preferably in person but we understand that isn't always possible, so a Zoom meeting or even a chat on the phone is fine too. Many couples also have a pre-wedding shoot and then finally there's the pre-wedding meeting where we talk through all the finer details.
A: Absolutely, we are fully qualified and insured UAV pilots with CAA permissions for day/night aerial photography.
A: We guarantee a minimum of 400 images, once we have removed the duplicates and those where you are blinking etc. We’re very strong believers in quality over quantity.
A: Each and every image we supply is individually colour corrected and creatively processed with the same care and attention no matter which of our packages you have chosen.
A: We aim to have all images ready for our couples to view 6-8 weeks after the wedding, on rare occasions during the busiest times this can occasionally slip, but usually by no more than a few days.
A: We’ve heard this many times but unfortunately it’s not the camera that takes the photos it’s the person holding it! As with most things, having lots of experience, combined with ability is the key. Photographing a wedding is far from easy and is often very demanding, even for those, like us, who have many years of experience.
A: We are VAT registered, but all quoted prices include VAT where appropriate.
