You certainly may!
Ade's style of wedding photography can be described as "reportage, candid, momentous, documentary." As a result he produces sentimental, authentic, fun, and timeless images. Social Media would have you believe that everything at your wedding should be flawless. We believe that everything should be real, authentic, and vulnerable. We seek to avoid trends and show real emotions. A particular lighting style, a trend, a pose (cite duck face) may not last forever but a human emotion such as a tear of joy will be a tear of joy 100 years from now. We believe that you are as beautiful as you are: your baby fat, double chin, bloodshot finger, your missing tooth etc. are beautiful and we will document it as such.
A resounding yes! An investment in a luxury wedding and/or engagement album is an investment in your future. It is the only thing from your wedding that will last forever. Your dress, cake, or shoes will not last forever. Nor will digital files last, computer systems are always being updated, the floppy disc, zip disc, as well as the CD is no more. USB is on its way out with the introduction of USB-C. The only thing that lasts forever is printed items, your album will last forever and be inherited by your grandchildren. See albums here...
Digital photographs are available within 8-12 weeks. After you have approved your album design, your album is delivered within 6-8 weeks.
