Welcome to Our Glasgow Wedding Now

Yes, it is your time now if you are browsing these pages looking for a wedding photographer.  Quite a daunting task ahead of you.  I am not the cheapest, but neither am I the most expensive by a long way.  I was away from wedding photography for a number of years while doing other corporate photographic work but now looking to fill up my diary for a few years to come.  Check myBLOG

I will give you one bit of advice now - do not cut costs on your wedding images!  After it is all over and all the rest has been packed away, eaten or forgotten what you have left is the images of the day.  These should last you a lifetime and be a source of plesasure for many years to your children, and their children to come.  Choose well and choose wisely.

My details and main web site links are below.  Thanks for looking and your consideration.  Prices will rise as the credit squeeze hits us all - book early to cap your costs at today's prices.

Glasgow wedding photographer George Monaghan. Most weddings, except smaller or quieter ceremonies, will be covered by two photographers. Photographer number two will mainly work with the Groom and Best Man up to and including arrival at the wedding venue. Principal photographer will work with the Bride up to an including arrival at the wedding venue. Thereafter both photographers will take formal and candid images between them. Having just very recently converted to total digital imaging it is now my intention to provide more wedding coverage from 2008 onwards. I admire those guys (and gals) who make their money solely from wedding photography as it is such a demanding business. Weddings can be nerve wracking affairs for photographers as there is no room for error. Everything has to be right on the day, to get you wedding images you can cherish for years to come.  

 After many years at study in colleges and centres of learning coupled with much corporate work I have enough experience to deliver a high quality wedding package that will meet your individual needs. You pay quite a lot of money for this expertise and quality so do not expect me to be cheap!  If I am available, and you wish me to cover the event please try to give as much notice as possible. Should your date not be available then I do have an excellent colleague who can cover if you so wish. I would also be glad to reccommend another company or individual that I know produces excellent work.

 Most weddings pictures will be presented in an Italian designed album and is not included in the price due to the varying amounts these albums cost. . These prices will rise throughout the year, even if just to include inflation. Edinburgh weddings, please add £50 for travel and visits to see you and the venues. A wedding presentation box containing 30 of your favourite images at 6 x 6 printed on lustre paper with black background and white border will be supplied within this priced package.

Digital Packages: An excellent idea and now proving to be a very popular package for those who would prefer to use their own style album and printing preferences. This is still a two photographer assignment. The digital record of photographs taken at your wedding will be presented to you in three boxed DVD’s. DVD 1 - full sized high resolution images for printing. DVD 2 - slide show to music of your day. DVD 3 - archive DVD for safe keeping containing all of the images on DVD’s 1 & 2 All weddings will have a pick of the images hosted on this web site for friends and family to view online. You may also order any prints at this time. Pricing for professional printing - on request. Pricing depends on requested sizes. You will have unrestricted usage of the images leaving you free to source your own printing and album. Thereafter you may distribute the images to your family and friends by any means that you wish provided they are not for commercial gain. Coverage is from the bridal parties preparation (Bride and Groom) , the ceremony, any location for formal images and then arrivals at the wedding venue up until a mock cutting of the cake for which you will be asked to pose for prior to your reception meal Additional coverage can also be provided for the wedding breakfast and speeches (+£150), and the evening reception (from £220), this is time dependant.

 All images will be individually post processed and checked for quality. Any minor blemishes will automatically be removed for you and the Bridal pictures are usually airbrushed to remove any imperfections. I will have you look your best on this very important day. Post production work is very time consuming at this high level of digital manipulation and this is where a lot of your costs are involved. I am the image taker, the darkroom wizard, the design master of the finished product. All of this takes time - there are no third parties involved. Your images, your way, my eye, expertise and experience should bring you images to be proud of, and, a pleasure to present to your family and friends.
