"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: Typically our style is a fusion of natural, modern images with a relaxed documentary feel. We also love to capture a few elegant editorial style images & some candid, fun photos too.
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: To allow us to give our clients the best possible service we limit to approximately 75 per year. If you're interested in using us please do get in touch as soon as possible, some months we have to restrict the number we book to allow for the minimum two days of editing time that goes into each and every wedding.
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: We like to be transparent, our prices page includes all of the details. We offer reduced rates for winter weddings and bespoke quotes for smaller intimate days, destination and Asian weddings, so please do drop us a line or use our Contact Us page for more details.
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: We're both full time professional photographers. We have experience in most types of professional photography, but have been specialising in weddings since 2008.
A: Our booking fee is £300 (inc VAT), which is deducted from the final balance.
A: We take bookings a maximum of 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: 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're more than happy to organise and take them, for most couples they are an important part of the day, the key is finding the balance where they don't take up too much of your time. With there being two of us, we do our best to make these shots as quick and efficient as possible, while ensuring they still look great.
A: The majority of venues have options for taking beautiful photos indoors or even outside sheltering under cover, so there really is no need to worry. We love heading out under umbrellas and taking a couple of dramatic photos in the rain too, but only if its something the couple want to do.
A: As soon as we've finished editing your images we'll be in touch to arrange a viewing at our studio. This is where you get to sit back & relax on our big, comfy sofas & watch a beautiful slideshow of all of your wedding photos, set to music, while enjoying a glass or two of Prosecco! It's also the perfect time to choose any options included in your package & collect your USB of images to take home.
A: With each and every wedding set receiving a minimum of 2 days editing, our delivery time varies depending on the time of year. On average, we aim to have your images ready 4 weeks after the wedding, though during very busy months it can take a little longer & likewise, during the quieter months, it can often be as little as 2 weeks. We do offer a preview service for a small fee if you'd like us to pick out a few images and edit them within a few days.
A: We offer a choice of packages, with the minimum number of images included ranging from 450-550, depending on the length of our coverage time. From all of the images taken on the day, the vast majority of what we remove are those that are duplicates, the rest being a small number where people are blinking or pulling unflattering expressions. Removing the duplicates allows us more time during the editing & retouching process to get the very best out of each & every photo that you'll receive on your USB. We are very strong believers in quality over quantity.
A: Each and every image we supply is individually colour corrected & creatively processed with the same care and attention no matter which of our packages you have chosen, every wedding set receives a minimum 2 days editing time.
A: Absolutely, we are fully qualified and insured drone pilots with CAA permissions.
A: Two months (60 days) before the wedding.
A: We accept bank transfer plus all major credit/debit cards.
A: While most of our weddings are in Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, we will consider travelling anywhere. We include around an hour of travel time as standard in all of our packages, for weddings further afield we may ask for a contribution towards our travel and accommodation expenses.
A: We have multiple backups of all of our equipment.
A: We have both public liability and indemnity insurance, certificates can be provided on request.
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 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 are VAT registered, but all quoted prices include VAT where appropriate.
