Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - February /March 2021 (Issue 87)

PHOTOGRAPHY 53  We talk to some of the region’s most talented wedding photographers BEHIND THE LENS We want to document our engagement with a pre-wedding shoot and maybe some studio-based couple portraits – what do you suggest? WALLINGFORD PORTRAITS & WEDDINGS Tonja Fritz-Johnson is the photographer and proprietor behind this creative photography business. Tonja says: At Wallingford Portraits & Weddings, we offer a relaxed and unobtrusive service providing couples with a mix of formal, informal and creative images to reflect the emotions and cherished moments of their wedding. To ensure that they know in advance the quality of photography they’ll be getting, we offer a free engagement shoot with all of our wedding packages, so they can get used to having their picture taken and have some fun! Also, it gives us the chance to get to know them better, so that we are not strangers on the big day. All packages bear the current situation with Covid-19 in mind, so are very flexible. Couples can even split them over a couple of dates, should they decide to have a micro wedding this year and a big party at a later date. Should they wish to move any of their chosen dates, there is no extra charge. 07876 293 377 | www.wallingfordportraits.co.uk www.facebook.com/Wallingfordportraits PAIGE MARY PHOTOGRAPHY AND MAKEUP Paige Mary is a talented photographer and make-up artist.
