We’re John and Tanya, the team behind Photograf. We photograph and film weddings together, so one booking covers both your photos and your film.
Our style is relaxed and candid. We work quietly in the background, without flash, catching the real moments as they happen: the nervous laughs before the ceremony, the vows, the speeches and the dancing. If you’re not keen on being in front of a camera, don’t worry. Many of our couples tell us they’re shy, and they’re always surprised how natural their photos look.
Before your day, we’ll have a detailed planning call to get to know you, your venue and the moments that matter most. On the day we arrive early, and there are two of us, so nothing is missed, from the bridal preparations and group shots right through to the first dance.
Your photos and film are delivered in a private online gallery. You get to see everything first. Once you’re happy, you can share it with your guests, who can view, download and order prints.
Our backgrounds in live music, wildlife and food photography mean we’re used to fast-moving moments and tricky light. We hold £3 million public liability insurance and will happily share our risk assessments with your venue, we have everything with us, even stain remover pens in the car !!

We have no hidden costs or charges, whet we agree with you is what you pay.
Yes we can do both at the same time, if we are doing photgraphy and video we use up to 7 cameras simultainusley (some are remote control )
Typically we have a £200 deposit which confirms the booking, the balance is due on image delivery which is normally around 3/4 weeks after your wedding/event.
We only use YouTube to host videos we don't normally post on other social media websites
We use a secure gallery system with QR codes to pre register for release notification, the couple get to remove any pictures they don't want guests to have access to before we release a gallery to guests, you can use the QR code and link in any emails you send or printed stationary in advance, we also give out QR codes on the day to get as many people to pre register so you don't have to worry about getting pictures to your family or guests.
The system we use has all the media in one location, so all gallery pictures, any slideshows and videos, and if you have a budding content creator in the family or one of your friends has the time we can even do a blog for you about the wedding which allows us to mix pictures and videos in the blog gallery.
