Packages that fit real wedding days

Most couples choose coverage that gives breathing space — enough time for genuine moments, relaxed portraits, and a calm pace that doesn’t feel rushed. If you’re not sure what you need, tell me your ceremony time and venue and I’ll point you in the right direction (with minimal spreadsheet energy, I promise).

You don’t need to “know what to do” — I’ll keep things relaxed, and you can just… be you.
(Yes, even if you’ve declared yourself “deeply awkward” on enquiry forms.)

Real, relaxed moments. The goal: you enjoying your day — not performing it.

What’s included in your investment

Your investment includes guidance before the wedding, calm support on the day, and careful editing afterwards so the gallery feels cohesive and timeless. The aim is simple: keep things relaxed, help you feel comfortable, and capture the day honestly (including the bits you didn’t realise were happening).

 

Before the wedding

  • Timeline and light guidance (so portraits fit naturally)
  • Group photo plan to keep things efficient
  • Venue knowledge and suggestions (Lake District & Cumbria)
 

On the day

  • Mostly candid, documentary coverage
  • Gentle direction for natural couple portraits
  • Fast, organised formal photos (no long waits, no wandering uncles)
 

After the wedding

  • Careful editing for a consistent story
  • Online gallery for viewing and sharing
  • Optional album and print options

The calm bits matter. Sometimes the best photos happen between “events”.

Chris kept everything calm, helped us feel comfortable, and captured so many real moments we didn’t even see happening.

Albums (optional, definitely no pressure sales from me!)

A wedding album turns your story into a physical heirloom — not just a folder on a hard drive called “FINAL_FINAL_v7”. Many couples start with coverage and decide on an album later, once they’ve seen the full gallery.

If you’re considering album-inclusive packages or upgrades, you can find the options on Wedding Photography Prices & Investment.

Chris Freer, Lake District wedding photographer
Calm, unobtrusive wedding photography across Cumbria & the Lake District.

Hi, I’m Chris

A little about me — and how I work

I’m based in Cumbria and photograph weddings across the Lake District. I’m drawn to honest, natural moments and work in a calm, unhurried way — offering gentle direction when it’s helpful.

If you’d like a sense of what it feels like having me around on a wedding day: relaxed, quietly organised, and not shouting “AMAZINGGG” at you every 30 seconds… you can read more below.

Your Investment FAQs

Where can we see exact prices and package details?
All current packages and prices are on Wedding Photography Prices & Investment.
We’re not confident in front of the camera — will this feel awkward?
Not at all. Most couples feel that way. I’ll guide you gently so portraits feel natural, then the day is mostly candid documentary coverage. (No “hold hands and stare intensely into the distance” required.)
Do you help plan timings and group photos?
Yes — timeline guidance and an efficient group photo plan are included so the day stays relaxed and you’re not away from guests for long.
Can we add an album later?
Absolutely. Many couples decide after seeing the full gallery. Album options are listed on the pricing page.
Do you travel outside the Lake District / Cumbria?
Yes. If your day includes travel or multiple locations, coverage can be tailored to keep everything relaxed.
