About me
I created nik crabtree photography through a love of taking pictures; especially
portraits. Those portraits, both of adults and of young children like my own, at
school plays, parties, weddings and other formal functions, received some very warm
compliments and interest in my photography grew. So, nik crabtree photography was
born and you can see a small cross-section of the results in my portfolio on this
website.

I am more than happy to discuss your individual requirements and I will try to meet
them as far as possible. Here's an example of what a shoot might include:
The Marriage of John and Jane
Before the day
- Meeting with the bride and groom to introduce myself and to discuss their initial
requirements and expectations. This would typically include an informal quotation,
which would be formalised in writing later.
- The bride and groom are free at any time to ask questions, explain ideas about how
they would like to be photographed, show me examples from magazines of shots they
like* and to discuss when and where I need to be on the day.
On the day
- Photograph the bride and her bridesmaids and family, or the groom and his ushers
and family as they prepare for the wedding.
- Photograph the bride and/or groom arriving at the ceremony
- Photograph the ceremony itself, but please note this depends largely on the photographic
policy of the venue.
- Photograph the formal shots of the bride and groom and their guests.
- Photograph the reception, speeches and cutting of the cake. I can also photograph
a post-reception party if required.
After the day
- The bride and groom will receive all of their photographs on DVD (or CD) in high
resolution; a wedding album containing 24 prints of their choice and the photographs
will be available in a private on-line gallery from where prints and other media
can be ordered.
- Photographs can be ordered on a variety of media including prints of varying sizes,
DVD/CD, canvas prints, poster prints, silver framed prints and photobooks. Please
ask me for further details and prices.

is generally an infringement of their copyright.
