Our clients are people who love each other and people who praise the magic of photography. Most of our weddings are destination.

We can not hold a date for you without a signed agreement and deposit. A signed agreement and a deposit of 30% are required to reserve the date for you. Dates are filled on a first come, first served basis. So don’t wait, as some prime dates are already booked 2 years in advance.

Yes. If your venue requires insurance, please let us know within two weeks of the wedding so our insurance company has sufficient time to process and provide that document.

Collections, because we provide boutique wedding services. Investment, because when people decide to get married, they are in a euphoric state and don’t think very rationally. They should understand that their wedding photography is one of the most essential investments they make for their wedding day. On the day after, everything is just a memory. A good wedding photographer keeps the memories forever and closes the circle of your investments. A costly wedding dress can be a bad investment if you have no memories of it or if you have mediocre-quality photos.

Typically, we will arrive after the bride’s hair has been done and she is just starting to put on make-up. I will begin photographing the wedding preparations at this time, as the bride has some make-up foundation and a little colour on her face. Photos look much more flattering at that time, and it’s a great way to begin the story of your day.

We live for photography and invest our hearts and souls into our work. Our goal is to provide you with not only unique photos but photos that capture genuine emotion and true love. These are the most important and most cherished moments of your life, and we’re honoured to share them with you. Each wedding is a unique event for us. We provide a customised, individualised service for each couple to ensure that the photos reflect the people, atmosphere and events of the day as you would like to remember them. When photographing a wedding, our goal is to create a beautiful record of your wedding day and to give you a lifetime of happy memories. Our approach is to tell your story from beginning to end, photographing the entire event so that when you see the photos, it will make the wedding come alive. We work unobtrusively, taking informal, natural portraits of you and your guests to capture the emotion and beauty of your wedding day. Our style matches your personality, so if you like fashion and drama, we’ll definitely be on the same page with you.

My personal style tends towards fashion, artistic and artistic photojournalism, all mixed together, capturing those unique and inspiring moments that create the true impression of a wedding or event. I photograph the day as it happens, and your wedding is a direct reflection of your personality and love for one another. I capture the interaction between you, your family and your friends. Allowing my images to tell the story of your wedding day. All of my images capture the connection between my couples. When I shoot in a fashion and fine-art style, I try to direct only and avoid any posing. My associate in-house photographers are mostly photojournalistic, but they do really well in traditional style and portraits, too.

The right question is – “How many different photos will we have?” as we don’t change the numbers but the storytelling quality. It depends on several factors, including the style of shooting (photo-reportage, traditional, fashion), the number of photographers, and whether the wedding is big or small. Since we photograph digitally, we do not limit the number of photos we take during your wedding day. As each wedding is unique, we will photograph as much as we feel necessary to capture the great moments of your day. On average, we give 1000-2000 photos minimum.

How do we view our wedding images? All of your photos are posted on a private online gallery. This gallery can be shared with friends and family across the globe. This unique service allows you the freedom to view your files in the comfort of your own home whenever you choose. The gallery has multiple purposes; it is very handy not only for sharing but also as a speedy proofer when we start designing the album. Having a checkout function, your guests can easily find themselves and order their downloads and prints, which can be on paper, canvas, frames, albums, etc. Also, it comes with AI face recognition so your guest can easily find their photos.

After the wedding, we send you a layout preview in a very intuitive album gallery where you can click and comment on every photo or section on the spread. You can request the adding and removing of photos, pages, and spreads at this stage. After approval, we proceeded with retouching, skin smoothening, body shaping, and all those magazine retouching techniques. After your final approval, we optimise the layouts and send them for print. In a maximum of two months, the album will be delivered to our office in London.

Weddings make me feel challenged as a professional wedding photographer, highly motivated, and inspired, which triggers my desire to work and be creative. Wedding photography must be a passion for the professional photographer because it includes all styles of photography – portraiture, fashion, reportage, candid, commercial and fashion … and requires the ability to change them quickly and be creative. People are also motivated to look good, and they give their best. At weddings, we don’t just shoot the bride and groom but also princesses, celebrities, etc., to whom they turn.

The short answer: This is a very important question, but we find it disrespectful if people ask for prices without knowing us and our photography. We have a short answer for that kind of cold call question: not less than your wedding florist and, in most cases, not less than your wedding dress. When you wake up on the day after your wedding, the first dance will be a memory, the cake will be eaten and forgotten, the flowers are drying, and soon they’ll be disposed of… Photos are the only thing that will live forever and keep the memories of your perfect wedding. If you love your partner and plan to get married once and forever in your life, have this in mind.

We have different clients. Royal, celebrity, and people like your neighbours and friends. We work with a number of trained in-house associates, so don’t worry. If you can’t afford Peter Lane’s services, we’ll provide the best photographer for your needs.

We love shooting pre-wedding engagement shoots; they are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and a perfect opportunity to get to know each other. Most couples also use their images for invitations, signing albums and more. We can discuss this when we speak. Keep in mind all our pre-wedding or post-wedding shoots are Monday to Friday as we shoot weddings at the weekends.

Easy. After agreeing to your collection, we need your email for the paperwork, plus a transferred deposit.

Approximately 60% of our work is destination weddings. We have shot weddings throughout the UK, EU and other destinations.

Yes. Expenses include flight, transfer and accommodation.

The term wedding photographer is wrong, and we believe that wedding photographers who’ve never done studio shoots, portraits, fashion, etc., are just clickers. The internet is full of them. Peter Lane can be classified more as a fashion photographer (coming from that background) or a photojournalist who shoots weddings in more fashion or photojournalistic way, but this is wrong too because, on a wedding day, I’m a portraitist and commercial photographer too, etc. The goal of Peter Lane Photography is to offer boutique-style wedding photography products and services. That’s why I always use the help of photo assistants and/or a second photographer; we retouch all of the photo album photos, and we use only the high-end photo album brands and the most modern photo equipment. All that is in favour of the client.

Speaking with the couple before their special day helps clarify their specific requirements about the photography aspect of their wedding. Some couples receive Engagement or Love Story photo sessions in their collection. It can be staged or spontaneous. The Engagement photo session is spontaneous and casual, while the Love Story requires a scenario and time for preparation. During those photo sessions, we became friends, got to know each other better, and learned what we wanted and the quickest way to achieve it. I’m getting to know how normal your normal is and how crazy your craziness is. It’s not good to get to know all that on the Big Day. On that photo walk, I’m teaching the couple, and mostly the bride, how to become a friend with light, how to pose for good, and how to make it natural. You’re receiving my Bridal posing workshop for free, together with lots of beautiful photos and your trust and confidence for the wedding day.

I recommend you to have a second photographer especially if your wedding has more than 150 guests! If you wish to have a second photographer present at your wedding, that can be arranged. You can see the cost range in the price list, or if you choose all other collections except the first one, you get it for free. The benefit of having a second photographer is that you will have two sets of eyes (and hands), and two different creative minds working together to capture your wedding from every possible angle. This is a must-have option if you want your wedding album to be a storyteller. Just imagine the following moment: You’re before the priest, full of emotions, first kiss, the rings … tears in your eyes, laughter … all that happens for a fraction of a second. My second photographer is not just an extra photographer for more images. He is trained to praise the moment and knows what to shoot and what equipment to use. I crop your faces and shoot your emotions, tears of joy, laughter, etc. and blur everything else, making you pop up. It’s a nice image, but it doesn’t tell the story. My second photographer captures the whole scene together with the sleeping grandfather, crying mother-in-law, everybody watching you, etc. We go very quickly behind you, and I get a photo of the priest between and behind you and blur all the rest, but my second shooter shoots the whole church, synagogue, etc., with its whole beauty and captures the beauty of the wedding dress, too. Later on, you see all those 4 images on a spread in the album, and that spread tells the complete story of the moment.

The photos could be ready about 2 days after the wedding in the best-case scenario and uploaded in your password-secured gallery. Sometimes, it might take up to a week on very rare occasions. This depends on your chosen collection, the number of photos and how busy we are.

It’s good but not necessarily for most of the events, as we need to keep our vision and fingers sharp and avoid patterns.

Yes. The exception is the Digital collection.

The photo albums included in most of our collections are provided by GraphiStudio. They come with thick, continuous pages and unbeatable quality. Did I say unbeatable? You can understand that after years, but for now, you can trust me. I’ve seen many brides crying with joy when holding them in their hands for the first time, and I would love to be the one who gives you your family book.

If your wedding is UK-based, we can either talk on the phone first or have a WhatsApp video call to introduce ourselves, or it would be great to meet in person for a coffee. Whatever works best for you. If you are abroad, we can email, phone call or WhatsApp.

Most people have their questions answered by email or over a WhatsApp video. Due to a high volume of enquiries and as we travel a lot, we’re not always physically available for a face-to-face meeting, but do not worry; we can talk until we meet.

Yes, you will own “Home Use Rights” to your images, which means you can do pretty much anything you want with them as long as it doesn’t generate any income for you or the people you give them to. But I have something better for you. You can order the prints sitting on your chair, which will be delivered. Log into your web gallery and choose the desired photo, size and quantity. Your relatives and friends can do it as well.

Bank Transfer, Cash.

This is one of my favourite types of photo sessions, similar to the American Trash the Dress. This type of photography is done the day after the wedding, but it is the bride’s choice whether to have such shooting or not. If the wedding dress is relatively clean (from wine drops, other’s shoes or cake, for example), the bride can choose a location where to have some glamour and fashion images, either alone or with the groom. 

Absolutely. Only keep in mind that a-la-carte album prices are higher.

The source photo becomes the property of the photographer from the moment of its creation if there is no specific agreement that states otherwise. Share ownership comes with an extra fee. Some of our celebrity clients request exclusive rights, which double or triple the collection fee. This means that after delivery, we delete the images from our servers.

If you book some of the basic wedding collections, the album photo retouching comes for free. For individual photos a fee is applied depending on complexity and volume.

Definitely! Most of the time. The collection costs will stay the same; all we ask is for you to cover our flight and accommodation costs.

Yes, we do! We have extensive experience in filming Asian, Greek and Jewish weddings. We have covered Sikh weddings, Hindu weddings, Muslim weddings and Gujarati weddings. We don’t have set prices as each wedding can vary greatly on a number of days, cameramen, locations, etc. Please contact us with your full requirements for an accurate quote.

We love Greek weddings and Assyrian, Persian, Chinese, Turkish and Russian weddings. We are happy to cover any wedding!

We are more than happy to look at creating a custom package for you. However, we do have a minimum booking price for our packages, so if you didn’t want the preps filmed but wanted coverage up to the 1st dance, then there would be no discount on the package price. If you require more hours of coverage and for us to finish later, then we can work out a cost for this.

Yes, we’re very proud of our photography and the fastest delivery in the UK. If you need a photo & video bundle, you can have the best of both worlds.

If you book our photography & video wedding bundle, you’ll benefit from the same key final product. Please take a look at our photography portfolio. Speaking about the cats and dogs synergy as they characterise photographers and videographers, well, we believe that photography is always more important as it captures the moment, and we try to show respect to our colleagues but at the same time do the job in the best way possible. The reason we are there is to capture your wedding the best we can, and that will only happen if the photographer and videographer work together with this aim in mind.

We film and edit with the newest and best gear on the market. Most of our cameras are Netflix cinema-graded. 

Once you have confirmed you want to book, we’ll need your email for the paperwork. After we sign the agreement and send our copy to us along with a deposit of 1/3rd of the agreed amount, we’ll consider the day locked to you.

It’s usually best to have our pre-wedding meeting 2-3 weeks prior to the wedding; the closer, the better, really, as it’s nice to keep the rapport we build up from the meeting and take that into the wedding so you feel more at ease. We always try to arrange a face-to-face meeting wherever possible, but sometimes, due to logistics, this may not be possible. In this instance, we can have the next best thing…a WhatsApp chat. If you’re not comfortable with chatting over the net, we can always have the meeting via telephone. The main aim is to get to know each other and to obtain all the info I need so I’m fully prepared for the big day.

3 Weeks before the wedding date.

Creating a film to the standard we produce takes time, so we set the completion date at 4 months from the wedding date. It doesn’t take 4 months of actual editing, however, as we film a lot of weddings in a 5 month period and with each edit taking up to 2 weeks of work, we quickly build up a backlog. We don’t rush our edits; we spend the time carefully crafting your wedding film to ensure we create the best wedding video possible. Your video is to last you forever, and we want it to be something you will always want to watch and be proud to show your friends and family; we edit with this in mind. It does require patience on your part, but I can assure you it’s worth the wait!

You can make changes within reason. You have seen our work, and you like our style, so have an idea of what we will produce. However, we want it to be perfect for you, and there may be a shot you want to take out or add in etc., so we are more than happy to do this to ensure it’s just right for you.

Of course! It’s your film, so if you have a favourite track, we will use it. However, we will also choose some music tracks that we think will fit the movie. Often, this might be instrumental music we have heard in a recent film we have watched or from our collection. The aim is to make a film, not a pop video, so to fit our style, some tracks won’t work, but we can discuss what music you’re happy with before editing.

Once the video is signed off and you have received your final copies, we will keep the raw footage for 2 months, after which it will be deleted. We will, however, keep copies of your final discs in case you wish to order more copies in the future. If you want your raw footage this can be purchased from us for £400.

LUXURY ALBUMS – Step-by-step instructions

Our wedding album workflow is smooth, interactive and online-based. It’s very easy and a huge time saver for both of us. All you need to do is read the instructions and watch the video carefully. Simple!

Stage 1 – Choose the album model from our dedicated albums website

You already have the best Luxury wedding album in your collection, but if, for some reason, you like another model, you need to go through this step. See the available sizes, colour themes, and materials for your chosen model, as well as paper types and thickness, boxing, and other available options, like ribbons, writing, engraving, etc. At this point, we can advise you about the minimum/maximum pages and prices for certain pages and guide you in choosing the right options according to your budget.

Stage 2 – Design Preview

•  We pick the album photos and prepare the first (free of charge) layout for you.
•  We send it to you for approval using an online interactive proofing service, where you approve/disapprove page by page.
•  Offline design service also available – £200p/h.
•  Watch this 1-min. video instruction on how to use the service

• WATCH IT ONE MORE TIME! IMPORTANT! It saves time for both of us as you won’t have to describe photos, but pin & comment instead. You pin and comment on photos, pages, and spreads to be amended, deleted, replaced or added, and we’ll see your comments exactly where you left them. You don’t need to describe the photo, just pin it and comment on it, for example: “Make this bigger”.

• IMPORTANT NOTE: The image file name is (find it in your online gallery under the photo or take it from your computer file manager) not the order named 1, 30, 55 … etc., but FILENAME-01.jpg, for example. Copy and paste (with or without .jpg). If you send a list with improper filenames, it will be ignored, and you’ll lose precious time to find their correct names and resubmit again.

• We’re very good at selecting photos, but as we can’t be sure of your important image preference 100%, and because the majority of our clients tend to add more photos/pages, your first preview will come with more pages than you have paid for in your package. So, you have the following options: A/ comment on the extra pages for deletion and pay nothing extra, or B/ approve the layout or amend it by adding or reducing extra pages and pay for the extra pages at £50 per page.

Rules to follow

• 1/ one spread = 2 pages – left and right. If you commend the left page for deletion, we can’t keep the right one only, so you have to let us know what to do with it. Choose other photos, merge them with another page or delete the whole spread.
• 2/ No mixing of colour and BW on a single page/spread.
• 3/ The storytelling rule is to cover one story per page. Don’t overlap a few stories (different timelines) of the day on one spread. For example, mixing room shots with family portraits or dancing people on a spread has no storytelling value.
• 4/ There are no restrictions on the volume of photos, but if you pick many extra photos (and your package album is 30x20cm), consider upgrading to a larger size album, or you’ll see thumbnails. A maximum of 110 pages is allowed, but we don’t advise more than 100 as the album becomes very heavy and may break the spine over time.

• Don’t comment on photos for retouching and editing at this stage. Comment layout amendments only.

Stage 3 – Design Approval

• After your amendments (if any), we will send you the edited layout for final design approval. If you still want to apply structural changes, then it comes with an extra charge of £100.
•  

Stage 4 – Editing and Optimising for print

• After the layout approval, we start to optimise and edit the photos. Photos are not edited one by one, but every spread is treated as a single photo.

Stage 5 – Final Approval

• After the retouching stage, we will send it to you for final approval. For cosmetic amendments, you won’t be charged, but if you decide to apply any layout changes, a fee of £100 will be applied.

Stage 6 – Album Options

• You pick your colour theme and choose the cover, boxing options, materials, etc. Many options are already included in your collection; if not, you’ll be advised of the extra cost. Nothing will be ordered without your written approval.

Stage 7 – Print & Delivery

• We send the files to a print company in Italy and wait for 1-2 months. The total extra cost is to be paid now.

Stage 8 – Delivery and raves

• You gather your family, film the unpacking, flip the pages and the excitement,  and, of course, share it on social media.

Reading this, you agree to the wedding album process terms & conditions.

Thank you!

Our albums fit any occasion:

• Weddings
• Bar Mitzvah
• Christening
• Anniversary
• Model/Actor/Singer etc. portfolio
• Boudoir album
• Pets
• Newborns and family album

We believe that exceptional albums require expert craftsmanship, not automation or shortcuts. Here’s what makes our albums truly extraordinary:

• Crafted by Experts, Not Machines – Unlike one-person operations or automated software-generated designs, we work with highly skilled designers who meticulously design, retouch, and optimise every page for the specific printing process. This attention to detail ensures that your album isn’t just good – it’s exceptional.

• Uncompromising Quality & Longevity – We source only the finest materials, from premium papers to durable, archival-grade binding. While others may cut costs to win business, we focus on creating albums that last a lifetime. What may seem similar at first glance can reveal fading colours and deteriorating edges over time. With our albums, your memories will remain as vivid and beautiful decades from now as they are today.

Because your most precious moments deserve nothing less than timeless perfection.

About 2 months after approval and payment.

As we mentioned above, we offer hundreds of options for your album, which will make the price go up or down. A number of variables will affect the price:

• Vendor
• Size
• Paper type
• Lamination and longevity options
• Number of pages
• Thickness of paper
• Cover materials, cover prints, embossing, engraving, sides and backs
• Boxing
• Lining
• Fonts used
• Number of copies
• Type and size of copies

We need your requirements to be able to quote the final price.

Our unique online proofing services will save you time and effort. You can flip the pages as if it’s a real-life paper album. Then you pin the place on the page and comment under the pin like: remove my mom’s double chin, remove this photo or make it large, etc. I don’t need to know who your mother is, and you don’t have to explain where the photo is located on the spread because we’ll see exactly what you see on your screen. Easy!
