Freddie Bates Photography

Collection three of three

Everything, and then the part everyone else has already gone home for.

The fullest version of the approach. Longer coverage, deeper into the night, and the additions that make sense when a day is big enough to need them. Built for weddings that run long and matter loudly.

From £3,000 · Up to 12 hours Full gallery via Pic-Time UK travel included
Emily & Ben's wedding at Beamish Hall Hotel, County Durham

  • 03UK weddings, further than two-hours from my North Tyneside base

Not sure which collection fits? That is genuinely what the first conversation is for. Tell me the shape of your day and I will tell you which one makes sense, including if it is a cheaper one.

What the day looks like

An example, not a rule
11:00

Coverage begins

Getting ready. Nothing has happened yet and it is already one of the best hours of the day.

11:15

Details and the empty room

Before guests arrive, not during.

14:00

Ceremony

No flash, no interruptions, no photographer walking up the aisle in your video.

14:30

Confetti, drinks, family groups

The organised bit, kept short on purpose.

15:45

First portrait session

A moment away from the madness to soak up what just happened.

16:30

Wedding breakfast and speeches

I eat when you eat, and I am back before the first speaker stands up.

18:30

Golden hour portraits

Twenty minutes, roughly ninety minutes before sunset. The slot that genuinely matters.

19:00

First dance and the party

Coverage runs into the evening rather than stopping at the cake.

21:00

Cover ends

I head home with full SD cards.

Every wedding gets its own timeline built with me once you have booked. This is a shape, not a schedule.

What you get

Included in every collection

A private Pic-Time gallery

Delivered through Pic-Time, full resolution and downloadable, yours to keep, print and share. Edited as a narrative rather than dumped as a folder of near-identical frames.

Frames shot on 35mm film

A selection of your day shot on actual film alongside the digital. Analogue texture and warmth that digital cannot replicate. Not an add-on and not an upsell, it is simply part of how I work.

The planning, not just the day

A proper conversation before you book, a timeline built together, and someone at the end of an email in the months between. The day itself is the last part of the job, not the whole of it. This process includes a minimum of one pre-wedding consultation.

Travel across the UK

Travelling across the whole UK (including Northern Ireland) for bookings of 'the Epilogue'.

850+ hand-edited images

Carefully selected and edited images that hold the essence of your day. Black and white frames delivered as part of your gallery and used intentionally for emotional effect.

Up to 12 hours of photo coverage

Time for the whole day to be captured, not just the big moments, but also the seemingly tiny moments at the start and end. This is where your best memories will lie. You'll also have time for multiple portrait sessions across the day, giving your gallery the variety it deserves. Planning a late-night outfit change? This package is for you!

The way I shoot

Every day gets divided three ways.

20

Safe

The anchors. Family groups, the hug after the aisle, the traditions that matter to your people. Calm hands, quiet voice, nothing missed.

60

Real

The heart of it, as it unfolds. Light on skin, layered rooms, gestures that say more than the speeches did. Told the way it happened.

20

Bold

Where instinct takes over. Following the light, leaning into movement, slipping outside after dark. The frames you come back to.

This is not the default and I will not push you toward it. If The Narrative covers your day, book The Narrative. This exists for days that genuinely need more.

Common questions

The Epilogue
What does The Epilogue cost?

From £3,000 for up to twelve hours with travel included. The final number depends on your date and venue, so tell me about your day and I’ll send an exact figure alongside an honest answer about whether this is the right collection for you.

Can I move between collections after booking?

Yes. Plans change and days grow. If you book one collection and later want more or less coverage, we adjust it.

How and when do we get the photographs?

A preview set lands within days while it still feels like last week. The full gallery follows via Pic-Time within four weeks of your big day.

How do we secure our date?

A twenty per cent deposit and a signed contract. After that the date is yours and you can go back to enjoying being engaged.

Do you travel?

Travel within the UK is included. For weddings further afield, tell me where and I will put a number together. Long drives and questionable weather are a feature rather than a problem.
