A
word of introduction
We are Neville and Shirley Bell, a friendly, experienced and good-natured husband and wife team covering South East London, the Midlands and East Anglia.
We offer a sophisticated and contemporary photography service, custom designed for you.
Your day is as special to us as it is to you!
And we hope you may be interested in choosing us to photograph your wedding or civil partnership.

Because there are two of us, we can take pictures from a variety of viewpoints and can also back up one another's pictures, so that you have the peace of mind of knowing that at least two cameras are used to record your day.
Our clients tell us that they particularly like our flexible and cooperative approach as our aim is to fit into to your day as unobtrusively as possible while capturing all the moments for you, both informal and formal.
We are happy to discuss your exact requirements and will supply formal and informal reportage pictures in the mix you prefer, including colour, but also spot colour, sepia, and black and white if required.
After
the wedding we supply lots of top quality 7.5" x 5" prints,
all individually finished with perfect cropping, excellent colour, tones
and contrast.
All the pictures can be selected in black and white or sepia as well as colour
and we also offer as standard a series of montages and special effects.
All the pictures are shown on the web and then
and supplied in a full colour brochure for you to choose your prints for inclusion in a keepsake slip album.
We will then work with you in putting together the album you want if chosen. (Albums can be chosen at the time of booking the wedding, but also anytime before or after your wedding. There is a 10% discount if you order your album at the time of booking your wedding)
We also offer a range of reprints and enlargements including composite "creative options" pages with multiple images for you to frame or put in your own album (including A4 slip in albums).
Your wedding pictures will also be displayed on a
password-protected site so that you and your friends and family can view
and order pictures in a range of sizes. The pictures are loaded onto the
site in batches from a few days after the wedding until about 2 weeks
after the wedding.
We accept all major credit and debit cards & we have full professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
And some of the nice things people have said about us are......
"Once again thank you for the wonderful photos, and just to say you are both very friendly and talented people. You made everyone feel relaxed and fitted in perfectly (so well in fact that we felt we had known you for years). We wish you both every success for the future. You will certainly be highly recommended by us."
"We would also like to thank you for the wonderful job you did on the day, you enhanced our day, and you will be in our memories in the years to come... thank you"
"Just to confirm we have received the photographs this morning and they are wonderful! Thank you so much for a wonderful reminder of our lovely day"
"Thank you so much for the photographs, they are beautiful! You've really captured the atmosphere of the day."
"The pics are all brill, thanks for doing a great job!"
"We have lots of happy memories of the wedding, and are thrilled that the photos have come out so well. Thank you so much."

We started out as
garden and travel photographers and we have had four books published, plus
many articles and pictures in national magazines and we supply work to a
major garden picture library. We also really enjoy our work as wedding and
portrait photographers! We are both graduates, with Neville bringing his scientific expertise with a BSc in Physics to the technical aspects of your photography, while Shirley's BA in History of Art and Design equips her to appreciate and record the aesthetics of your day.

So, to summarize! Our main aim is to offer you sophisticated, contemporary and custom-made wedding photography
We are keenly aware of what is at the cutting edge of today's wedding photography with its emphasis on a more natural and less obviously posed look, and we always keep abreast of what is going on right now
–though we never lose sight of the fact that these pictures will be a record for you and your family both at this moment and in the future…
So...we will give you
exactly what you want on the day - time, weather and relatives permitting!
Before the wedding we will ask you to fill in a list of the pictures
you would like us to take... but we are very flexible so you can, of course
add any extra shots you or your family think of on the day.
Most people like a
mixture of some formal photographs as a record of the day both for now and for the
future, along with lots of the informal shots that "capture the moments" and show you all as you really are - but
the balance of this is entirely up to you.
We make a point of
arranging the group shots so that they look like a group - and not a
collection of stragglers! But we are always good natured and never bossy! And we also like to capture a relaxed feel in these shots to bring out the relationships between you all - so that there will no pictures that look as if you are all on a military parade!!

Because there are two of
us we can take pictures from different angles and as there is a woman's eye
you will always have a good record of the special look you have spent so
much time trying to achieve... from dresses, to flowers, to colour schemes and
table settings.... We really enjoy our work and one of the pleasures of the
day is seeing all the gorgeous things you have chosen!
Your pictures go up for you to see and share with your family and friends on a password protected website in batches 2 weeks or so after the wedding.


Your printed pictures will be
with you within about 4 weeks of the wedding day. All the 7.5” x 5” prints included in each of our photography services are supplied in these attractive keepsake slip albums, illustrated above.
If you are interested in displaying some of your pictures in a more elaborate album we offer a wide choice of style and prices to suit every budget, starting from £275. Please see albums page for more information.You can then choose the pictures you would like to be included in your album and we will work with you to assemble your bespoke album if chosen.

We also offer reprints and
enlargements at reasonable prices.
Please see our Prices page for a
list of the services we offer and the prices that we charge ~ we travel widely
to photograph weddings, but time and travel outside of Lincolnshire does cost an a extra
£55.
