Wedding Albums
Wedding Albums
Albums seem to be a rarity these days, but we believe there’s nothing more precious than a hard copy of your favourite photos presented in a beautiful book.
Our albums are produced by the Italian company, GraphiStudio, long regarded as the best quality albums in the world. Each album is individually designed by us, thereby making it a unique and individual record of your day.
As standard with Civil Packages, we include a 30 page Graphistudio GoBook album.
Asian Pre Wedding Photoshoot (Optional)
Engagement (or Pre-Wedding photo shoot) are becoming more and more popular and for good reason!
This is the perfect opportunity to produce stunning, professional photographs to look back on. It’s also a great way of getting to know your wedding photographer so that you feel more comfortable on your wedding day in front of the camera.
You will be able to download all the edited Hi-res images for your safe keeping and share them with your DJ for the Video Wall or your Reception Venue TVs if they have any.

Absolutely amazing service from the whole team from start to finish!Â
The team captured every important and fun-filled moment throughout all of our events and we have had the best time re-visiting our big day - watching back our videos/highlights and pictures.
Thank you to all of the team and I would most definitely recommend The Finishing Touch for the most excellent service!! Xx

Our whole experience with the finishing touch was so easy with their approachable nature and how organised they’re, when they say a timeline they really do stick to it.
The rest of the team were amazing and in a way, they felt part of the whole wedding experience and more than just a supplier. They have captured such wonderful memories, we really can remember the whole wedding exactly how it was on the day!
I would highly recommend Finishing Touch, they are such a brilliant team!

Peace of Mind
We have been photographing and filming church and civil weddings for over 15 years, before entering the asian market 10 years ago, so we understand what can and can’t be photographed and filmed in certain civil /church wedding venues, and how to liaise with the registers or church wardens to achieve the best photographs and video possible, given the restrictions of movement placed upon us.
We are also quite unique in being able to provide wedding photography and videography for both the groom and the bride’s family if required.Â
What to know more?
Sure, we have more information on our ‘ Behind the Scenes’ website, just ask Pam for details.
But if you don’t have time for that,just now, heres our top 3 Frequently Asked Questions regarding Sikh Weddings.
How long have you been Photographing Indian weddings?
Pam and Ian have been running the business for the past 18 years and mainly filmed and photographed civil/church weddings and a few interfaith/fusion weddings between Hindu and Christian and Hindu and Sikh.
Due to the positive feedback of the photos and video we captured and edited, we found ourselves being asked to do more ‘one faith’ Hindu weddings and then, a year later, Sikh Weddings- which turned out to be a huge miles stone for us- as we undertook 6 Sikh weddings the following year!
Consequently, our business has gradually changed direction, over the past 10 years, towards Indian Weddings.
In 2022 95% of all our bookings were Indian Weddings.
How are payments split?
A Booking Fee of 10% of the total balance is paid to secure the wedding date/s.
A balance of 40% is payable 6 weeks before the wedding and then 35% will be payable before receiving your wedding photographs.
The remaining balance will be payable once you reach the top position of the video editing schedule.
Once Paid the Video edit is usually completed within 6 weeks
How long will the film be?
This will depend on the length of the wedding day and how many rituals there are. Each of the ceremonies is normally recorded as a live production from multiple cameras which can vary the length of the film. But, on average, a Sikh wedding can be between 4 – 5 hours long.Â
Pre Wedding Parties can also be between 1 – 2 hours long.
Each wedding package also includes a Cinematic Video highlights Trailer and is edited to one track of music, which is provided by the client.
Can we have some drone footage for the wedding day?
Yes you can.
We now offer 2 options which are ideal for any wedding venue thats a Hotel or Hall with lots of greenery and land around them. **
Establishing Footage- £195.
If you just require footage of the Venue, to be used on the video highlights and wedding film as an introduction shot of the wedding day.
Wedding Day Footage – £395
If you believe there will be lots of opportunities to film guest/family out side of the venue, We will book a separate company to do this who will have the CAA Licence and Insurance.
** By law we are not permitted to use drones in a built-up conurbation area without prior permission from the council – which is very difficult!
Do I really need a crane?
Well, it’s not compulsory, but it does offer great aerial footage of the dancing, especially in the middle of the dance floor, where it’s sometimes difficult to see from the dance floor periphery.
Without a crane, we rely on the DJ having a raised platform to get those shots, but that usually depends on the venue or DJ providing one.
