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.

Planning a wedding is an extremely expensive pursuit so, here at Iconik-photography, we’ve been looking at different payment options for our wedding couples to help with spreading or sharing the cost.

Previously, like a lot of  our fellow photographers, we’ve limited our payments methods to cheques and cash only. Although this suited some people, not everyone had the money up front to do this. In response to this we have now introduced a system where payment can be made using all major credit and debit cards,  Paypal and, in addition, we are working on offering  extra options for spreading the cost using monthly direct debit subscriptions. Obviously this will be dependent on the lead time before the wedding, but it will take substantial pressure of your cash flow immediately before the wedding.

Another option that we are offering is for friends and family to buy wedding gift certificates towards the cost of the wedding photography package. These can be used to either contribute towards your standard package fee or to enhance it by upgrading to the higher package, a more expensive wedding album or extra prints.

We understand all too well just how expensive a wedding can be, so we want to do everything we can to help you achieve the very best results without compromising. With these latest payment options we believe you can get the best of both worlds – a high quality wedding photography package with much more manageable payment options.
