Social Photography - Weddings
Charles Francis offers various packages of Wedding Photography to suit your needs, in each case you will receive a personal service from start to finish with an all-inclusive fixed price.
There will be an initial meeting to discuss your requirements, such as: traditional film or digital photos (or both), reportage or posed pictures, shot lists of guests to be included in groups, viewing of images from previous weddings, a site meeting to assess the photographic opportunities at the Church and reception, another meeting prior to the wedding if considerable time has elapsed since the last meeting. A typical wedding begins with photos of the Bride and Groom's separate preparations, the marquee interior, Church flowers, departure of the Bride and her father from home and their arrival at Church, signing of the register and coming down the aisle, the Bride and Groom leaving the Church and arriving at the reception, various pictures of the guests, cutting of the cake, speeches, dancing and leaving. Interspersed with the photos on the day there are usually various candid and scene-setting images. Aside from the taking of photographs, Charles's principal object is to be quick, helpful and inconspicuous and not to intrude into your enjoyment of the day.

Social Photography - Portraiture
To a certain extent, Portraiture has similarities to wedding photography, the attention to detail is the same but the time-scale can be more relaxed allowing subject and photographer to discuss the making of the images. Attention needs to be given to the choice of setting: either studio-based or on location and, if so, where. Whether the resulting images are to be in B+W, colour, toned or otherwise digitally enhanced. Also the choice of clothing and any necessary props are important considerations. Portraiture is sometimes thought to be the preserve of the young and beautiful but that is not an absolute. Style and character are equally important and these factors contribute greatly to the success of a portrait session.
Family portraits mark birthdays or engagements as special occasions, they are also ideal as Christmas presents. Model portfolios provide idealised images suitable for promotional purposes.
