Contemporary and Professional Wedding Photography
Siret: 902.541.416.00019
I was born at an early age in West London but, with some help from my family, I had escaped to the Home Counties by the time I was four. My first memory of photography was when I was given a Kodak Instamatic camera for a school trip to Holland at the age of about ten. I've had a camera in my hands ever since!
I studied photography at school and since then I've gained many years of experience, initially with 35mm equipment before going digital in 1999. I am now lucky enough to be able to follow my passion and become a full-time professional photographer.
I'm based Pre en Pail, Mayenne but I am happy to travel to wherever you want me to shoot your special day.
Weddings are a very personal celebration so it's difficult to set a price without knowing more about what you are planning. My rates for your wedding report start at 800€00 for an elopement or from 1200€00 for a full wedding day service. Whatever your style from an elopement or simple civil ceremony to an elaborate traditional or themed wedding, we can capture your special day for posterity.
Please get in touch with some details of your plans and I can send give you a better idea as to what we can do and what it will cost. I am sure that together we will find the formula that best suits your needs. All our packages include:
■ A "Getting to know you/Save The Date" shoot.
■ Two photographers for the hours of shooting.
■ Post-production (sorting & retouching).
■ A web gallery with a preview of your photographs.
■ Delivery of a box with a personalized USB key with your photos in high
definition.
■ Image/print licence.
Please note: A 250€00 deposit is required to secure your booking.
Please scroll down to see some examples of how we can fulfil your photographic needs. These are just some of the services we offer but the list is not exhaustive. If you have any requirements not listed, please don't hesitate to get in touch and we'll see what we can do to help.
As well as the shoot, your wedding album plus other products such as photo-books, canvases, and wall-art prints etc. are also available, please ask us for a quote.
If you live more than 40km from Pre en Pail, I'm afraid I will have to ask for a contribution towards travel costs. To ease calculation, I have split the kilométrage charge into bands. For those of you that travel for work, you'll appreciate that the round-trip rates are set at about half those allowed by the French tax authorities.
Your appointment confirmation email will advise which band you should select. The kilométrage charge should be paid along with your deposit.
■ Up to 40km - Free ■ 40 to 80km - 34€ ■ 80 to 120km - 56€ ■ 120 to 160km - 80€
We are happy to travel further but for anything over 160km transport costs and expenses are to be agreed before your booking will be accepted but they are likely to also incur accommodation costs as well.
Save The Date! - 150€00 or free as part of a wedding package.
A "Getting to know you/Save The Date" shoot is included in all our packages. This can be in your home, in our studio, or on location at a place of your choosing. If you prefer, we can recommend a suitable location or we can scout one for you.
A Getting to know you shoot is usually fairly informal but it can be absolutely anything you want it to be. It gives us a chance to get to know each other and to discuss what you expect from us, your photographers. As with the wedding itself, both our photographers will be present to ensure we fully understand what your expectations and requirements are.
Your engagement - From 150€00
As with all aspects of getting married, engagement is a very personal thing so the most important quality we at Photography by Kevan bring is flexibility. Whether you're planning a quiet, romantic dinner for two or a lavish party, we can ensure you have photographs to cherish.
We can also help you plan a surprise proposal. One idea we saw recently was for the photographer to pose as a tour guide at a popular tourist spot and capture the couple as the groom dropped to one knee and popped the question. The only limit is your imagination so drop us a line to see how we can capture your day.
EVJF and EVG - From 400€00
Bachelor/bachelorette parties (also known as EVJF/EVG, or stag and hen parties) are becoming a lot more elaborate and adventurous these days and if you are planning a day or night to remember, we can help. You might want a day at the races, paintballing, or just a luxury night out with all the trimmings - limo, champagne, etc. and we can be there to make sure you have the best memories.
Ladies - We can also organise a boudoir party for you all, including a bridal boudoir shoot - see below.
Bridal Boudoir - 150€00
A sexy treat for your groom-to-be
A popular trend for brides-to-be at the moment is to give their future husband a set of boudoir photographs, beautifully presented in a discreet little album and hidden under his pillow the night before the wedding. You might want to give your fiancé a sneak preview of what you'll be wearing under your dress on the big day or maybe wearing just his favourite shirt. Whatever you choose, it'll get his pulse racing in anticipation of your wedding night.
Or maybe a sexy "Trash the dress" shoot after the event? Another popular trend that can be spiced up a little for a private (or not so private if you wish) reminder of your big day.
Boudoir Party - From 600€00
Combine your EVJF/hen party with a boudoir shoot
How about making your EVJF/hen party a little different? A boudoir party for you and your friends is a fun and modern way to celebrate your impending nuptials. It can either be held at your location or we can organise a hotel suite with a separate room for the photographs.
As with all our boudoir shoots, these can be as demure or risqué as you want.
The price includes a pillow book for your groom which will naturally only include the images you choose. We will also provide all of you with photo's from the night which will give you a lasting memory of a special evening. As the options are as individual as you are, the price will depend on what you want, please get in touch with your specific requirements and we'll provide a quote.
Trash the dress - From 200€00
"Trash the dress"" is a trend that is believed to have originated in the US but is catching on everywhere. It involves the bride wearing her wedding dress in an environment in which it is out of place such as a beach but other locations can include lakes and streams, waterfalls, muddy fields, and abandoned buildings. Or alternatively, the shoot can be in the studio. The dress is "trashed" by getting it wet, dirty, or even tearing, cutting, or destroying it. However, in the great majority of these photo sessions, the dress is not ruined and is easily cleaned.
The session can also include the bride's husband, the bridal party or flower girl if you wish and can be romantic, elegant, comical, and even sensual.
