So you’ve had a look at the website, you’ve seen the gallery and you’d like some similar images of you or your family. That’s step one!

 

Next job is to call and discuss what you need/want/desire or request, (the number is 08700 247 999) or if you’d prefer to email, that’s fine – info@umph.co.uk.

Personal portrait sittings

 

These can either be arranged to be undertaken at your home or at one of our locations.  We have a number of venues we use to limit your travelling time, we will always try and book you in locally.

 

You should then expect a phone call from a photographer who will talk you through what happens next. (Secretly the photographer is also gleaning information about the kind of shots that would interest you so don’t be afraid if they ask questions about your families favourite past times etc!).

 

On the day of the shoot, you will most likely have been advised to bring a couple of outfits or special items or props that you would like included. Please bring these along with you, as well as your smile (or sultry look – depending on what’s right for you!). The photographer will greet you and talk you through a couple of ideas, although some of the best images come from ad lib, impromptu – natural behaviour! You are of course welcome to direct the artistic feel should you have some specific ideas of what you’re after so please don’t be shy. This is after all, your photo shoot.

 

This should take around an hour where upwards of 100 shots will be taken for processing. Any input you have on stylising will be welcomed in your debrief. For example if you were hoping to get a large print done for your lounge wall, it might be useful to know what colour or style the room is so that the photograph will be an enhancement rather than a oddity.

 

Approximately 2 weeks later either at one of our locations or at your own home, we will turn up armed with your photographs displayed on a laptop which you will have the opportunity to view and place orders for if you wish. We like to be up front with our price structure so you aren’t ever pressured into buying prints which is why you receive the price list at the end of your shoot, not at the end of your viewing. We find that although a sale is good business, a sale without pressure is more likely to invite continued business. Those who are pressured into a sale are unlikely to return, and that certainly isn’t good business sense.

 

The pictures you have chosen will be printed and delivered to you within two weeks of placing your order. And that’s it…..until next time you require beautiful reflections of your family!

Weddings

 

After you’ve called us to request a quote or information, we’ll need from you your wedding date and a little information about what style you’re after. Wedding photography these days isn’t all standing and saying ‘cheese’, there are a number of options available to you and we will tailor your quote to give you exactly what you want. Whether you desire a pre-wedding portrait shoot, a full day of snap shot memories, a post-wedding – pre-reception location shoot or a no-fuss ‘Just remind me of how good I looked’; all are possible.

 

We’ll furnish you with a full quote within a week of the initial call. If you’re in a hurry we will do our best to get the quote to you by phone within 24 hours. If you’re happy with the options and price then you can formally book us. We will require a booking fee at a cost  of 20% of the full quote value.

 

When your day draws nearer, the photographer booked for your wedding will call you to request a brief meeting. This is to ensure that the photographer is familiar with you and what you want from him or  her.

 

On the day the photographs and any other arrangements that have been agreed will go ahead smoothly, all locations are subjected to a preliminary investigation prior to the day.

 

When you return from your honey moon or 7-10 days after your wedding, the photographs will be ready for you to pick those which you want for your albums, story books or framed prints. Once you have selected the balance of payment will be due (or 30 days after the wedding date, whichever is sooner) and your ordered photographed will be delivered within 2 weeks.  There will also be a section of website dedicated to your prints so that relatives and friends may order others that they require with out you having to act as a middle man.
