Wedding & Event Photography
Capturing memories as they unfold.
Hello I’m Don Chadwick!
I’m a contemporary wedding photographer covering Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland and beyond. If you are looking for a wedding photographer to capture candid, documentary natural style creative portraits to highlight the love and spirit of your special celebration day,
then look no further. That’s what I do.
Wedding photography mixing documentary natural style with CREATIVITY.
My approach is fairly laid back as a wedding photographer. I’m not going to make you pose or stand in an unnatural way. I may offer suggestions but with a sense of collaboration coupled with enthusiastic ideas to get you memories that last a lifetime. I’m based in Aberdeen and I cover weddings in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire area, Scotland and possibly beyond.
If you'd like to have a chat about your wedding, I’d be delighted to hear from you.

FAQs
-
I mostly photograph weddings in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Scotland but I will will travel further if the client and wedding requires this.
-
As soon as I confirm my availability for your wedding date, I’ll invite you to have a call to talk about your day and what you’ve got planned. Following our call, I’ll send you a copy of my contract detailing the professional photographer services I’m offering. If you decide to move forward, I’ll need a signed copy of the contract by return along with payment of my booking fee; I’ll invoice you for the booking fee as soon as you return the signed contract. Once that’s done, you’re wedding photography is booked and in the diary.
-
My booking fee is £200 and is payable on signing my contract. The booking fee covers our planning in the run-up to your wedding, any venue meetings that we arrange. The balance for your wedding photography is due one month before your wedding date; I’ll send you an invoice six weeks before the due date.
-
If possible, I always try to meet you both at the wedding venue before your big day. If I haven’t photographed a wedding at your venue before, I also find it helpful to visit around the time of day you’ll be getting married so I can see where the best light will be. In any event, it’s great to walk the grounds with you and chat about the best vantage points.
-
As a professional photographer, I use Sony pro cameras from the Sony Alpha mirrorless series for all my weddings.
-
I photograph every wedding with at least two cameras; each camera has a dual card reader, in case either card becomes corrupt or is damaged. I also bring multiple lenses and flashes, all of which are interchangeable. If you’ve asked me for a second professional photographer, you’ll have double the equipment with backup.
-
It usually takes me a couple of weeks to process your wedding photos. I edit them all individually and present them to you in an online gallery for viewing and sharing with friends. If you’d like to create a printed wedding album, you’ll be able to make your selection from the gallery. All of your images will also be provided to you digitally (JPGs on USB) in a print ready format.
