Planning a wedding can be a logistical nightmare trying to calculate to costs of venues, cakes, flowers, dresses.. the list is endless. Nat and I know exactly what its like, we’ve been through it together for our own wedding… OK, I confess,  Nat and her mum Sally did most of it .

One of the hardest parts is getting suppliers to be up front about their costs and to find out about the hidden extras that can often break the budget. It’s with this in mind that Nat and I decided we wanted to find a way to take the uncertainty out of a least one area of the planning – the wedding photography. We’ve tried various options like issuing price lists for fixed packages containing  photography and albums, but there is always that grey area where the packages didn’t quite match the budgets or other requirements.

Dissatisfied with this approach we decided to try and create a way where potential clients can mix and match services and products and get an instant price calculation. Well, after a lot of burning of the midnight oil and several grey hairs later.. I’ve finally managed to create what, I hope, is the perfect solution. The Iconik Photography Wedding Photography Price Calculator (was that a fanfare I heard??)… hmm..  might have to think of a catchier name for it though!

Iconik Photography's new Wedding package price calculator

With this brand new tool you can choose the type of photographic coverage you require, add albums and digital Storybooks from suppliers like Jorgensen, GraphiStudio and Flori, order extra DVD’s (all of or customers who choose one of our photographic coverage packages receive a free licensed, high resolution, printable DVD of their images) and get an instant calculation of the total cost.

If your wedding is in Cornwall or within a 100 mile mainland round trip of the County we don’t charge for any travel expenses.  If your wedding falls outside of this area, is overseas  or in the Ilse of Scilly, we’ll be more than happy to work out and agree the best price for travel and accomodation with you before the event so that you don’t get landed with any unexpected fees. There are no hidden “extras” added to the photography and albums package price; the price you see is what the  coverage and products will cost you and, if you choose to use our services, we’ll honour that quote for 30 days from the date you submit your enquiry, even if our suppliers raise their costs during that time.

Superb Italian Wedding albums by Graphistudio

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere on this site, Spicer Hallfield, the major supplier for wedding albums, has gone out of business. Most of our wedding albums came from Spicer so Nat and I have been looking for new suppliers.

Jorgensen‘s are going to make our matted albums and they are luxurious to say the least, but a poular range that Spicer used to supply was their digital artbook. This differs from the matted albums in that the pages are created as a complete image without the need for mattes (frames), giving an extreme flexibility to the design process, as images can be placed in any shape size or orientation on the page. The result is a stunning, high quality graphical presentation of your images with a modern, contemporary edge.

To produce this type of album we’ll be using the internationally renowned Italian wedding album designers, Graphistudio. They have a superb range of high quality products that will act as the prfect showcase for your stunning wedding images provided by us at Iconik photography.

Our partnerships with Graphistudio and Jorgensen means we are  providing a combination of the very best and highest quality wedding album choices to our customers
