Why!

Lots of couples are asking us “you are very generous with the packages”. Zero Eight has researched the current markets on prices and have found an average of £679 to £1500 for starters? In every type of market you can find a budget provider but at times may lack in quality. With Zero Eight because photography is our passion we get more rewards from what our clients think about the service and imagery. Yes we have to make an income, as it is a professional business but we do consider the current climates and want to offer some great images at a great price.

Sim2000 Leeds!

Zero Eight visited the Sim2000 road show in Leeds today, to look at the products on offer to you as wedding couples. We recently took on Sim2000 to supply us with albums, coffee table books and a range of other add-ons. We must confess that we have made the right choice as the quality is outstanding. All the albums and books are big, heavy, bright and nice to touch, everything that you would expect from professional printing and binding. The favourite was the metal cover albums brushed or polished. Also they displayed a number of new products such as canvas prints from 16 x 12 to 30 x 20. Box Frames, Block Mounts, Layered Acrylic also the Simplicity range which we will update the site of these products soon.

Caroline & Darrens’s Pre-Shoot Day!

The pre shoot went very well and the weather kept great. The group covered four locations throughout the Peak Distinct National Park, which took the complete day with lunch.

Mixture of images have been taken which will be available to view very soon.

Some of the images will be added to their Wedding Album. One will be selected to be printed on to canvases, for guest to sign as they enter the venue. The rest will be on a CD with all other wedding images to do as they wish with.

We had a great time with many giggles and no pressure.

SIMPP, SWPP & SIFGP

This is just a quick update for everyone.

Zero Eight’s work has now been accepted into the following Societies:

SIMPP: The Society of International Media and Press Photographers.

SWPP: The Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.

SIFGP: The Society of International Fashion and Glamour.

To be accepted we had to show our skills and commitments to professional photography. We now we have to continue to abide by rules and a code of conduct set by the societies.

The societies are only open to full time professional, semi-professional and up and coming photographers.

The next stage:

Over the coming year Zero Eight is working towards one of the following qualifications:

Associateship
Fellowship
Craftsman

These titles will allow us to hold an abbreviated term after our name such as:

ASWIPP: Associate of the Society of International Wedding and Portrait Photographers.

FSPPA: Fellow of the British Professional Photographers Associates.

CrSWPP: Craftsman of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.

Wow you may think…many letters and words. Yes there are 15 terms all together. We are unsure as to what qualification to go for, but we are certain that your images will be part of what we will be submitting.

It is a gruelling assessment to gain the titles as some photographers have been working hard towards these for many years. However this is just a guarantee that we will be working even harder at achieving those exceptional images for you on your special day.

Wedding Package!

Even though this blog is still under construction, we thought that we would put some info on here just to keep our wedding customers up to date.

The wedding area is a new venture for us but couples are making enquires and are starting to book us already for next year. We have undertaken a lot of market research to establish our packages. Also because of the current economic situation, we have gone out of our way to deliver something that is affordable with the quality.

We have decided to use Sim2000 Imaging for our albums and books. They boast a highly skilled and equipped design studio. Who are supported by the state of the art facilities both in printing and bookbinding. Coffee Table Books through to Flush Mounted Wedding Albums are available along with Parent and Guest Books, Portrait Books, Cards and Boxes.

Here is a breakdown of the packages:

Pre Shoot:
To take a collection of images of you both a number of weeks before the wedding shoot. This is at a location of your choice perhaps somewhere memorable to you both. This will add dynamics and flare to your album and CD.

Full Day of Wedding Photography:
We will spend the complete day with you. There are no time limitations to the day. The only break we will take is 1 hour during the day, this normally would be when the bride and groom sit for their meal together.

CD:
All images from the shoot will be included on this CD.
Great for printing from at your own leisure and distributing among family and friends. (All images inclusive of those from your album will be on the CD)

Your choice of album or book.

All design, delivery and VAT are inclusive of this cost:

At zero eight we deliver our imagery as a reportage and documentary style. Similar to what you might find in magazines and papers. Our background comes from working within this area and now we have transferred this style to weddings. And for what we can see is what a lot of couples are asking for. The images come as monochrome, colour and retro (kind of 70s feel about them).

Printing and binding of the full album can take up to 4 weeks. This is normally a great time for the happy couple as they have returned from honeymoon and can relax over their images together.

To secure the date a 50% deposit (of the photography element only) will be payable. This is non-refundable and will be at a cost of £150.00. The full and final payment of the package will be required 30 days before the date of the event. All payments made to photography08 will be invoiced.

Please contact us for our full price list.
