Information and Options

Umbria Wedding photographer Siobhan Hegarty, A.K.A. shpfoto.com. Originally from Ireland, now based in Umbria. Shpfoto.com offers wedding photography throughout Umbria in central Italy.

Umbria, just east of Tuscany, north of Rome and west of Le Marche. Umbria with its rolling hills, dotted with castles, villas and medieval towns, rich in history, art and in nature. Perugia is the regional capital, other important cities are Assisi, Gubbio, Orvieto, Todi, Spoleto and Terni.

Many couples who plan their Wedding in Umbria are happy to just have the wedding day photographed and receive all original images. We are happy to do this for couples as well as offering a full wedding album service.

What We Do

Siobhan will normally come to the brides hotel or apartment about 45 mins before the wedding ceremony. Siobhan likes to capture the little moments getting ready, make-up, dresses, etc. These shots work very well in black and white and are a great start to the wedding coverage.

Next she normally goes onto the location of the wedding ceremony to get some shots of the groom and wedding party before the bride arrives, time permitting. The wedding ceremony next, and after it is up to you, whatever you want to do. Siobhan does not normally stay for the meal or after, if you would like Siobhan to stay for part of the reception after the meal, dancing etc. then ask us to quote.

When you book your wedding photography in Umbria with Siobhan, she will discuss every aspect of the day with you. She is always happy to accommodate any requests if at all possible.

We are always happy to discuss other options, please Contact us if you have any questions.

Congratulations!

So, you have decided to have your wedding in Beautiful Italy, we hope that we can help you with one important aspect of your wedding planning, your photography.

Siobhan Hegarty is a professional wedding photographer from Ireland, now living and working in Umbria, Italy, she photographs weddings throughout Rome city, Lazio, Tuscany and Umbria in central Italy.

During our years photographing weddings in Ireland and Italy, we have learned that every wedding is unique and every bride wants her day to be just perfect, just the way she dreamed it would be. That is why we tailor our services personally around Your Wedding day and Your wishes.

At shpfoto we tailor our services to suit your requirements, you can have just the photography on the day and receive all the original images and copyright or you can have a unique wedding album created in a range of different styles, it is up to you.

Siobhan’s candid and relaxed style of wedding photography will capture the typically unnoticed moments that highlight your wedding and show the emotions of this memorable day. Siobhan’s style of photography is ‘reportage’ rather than the staged, set-up shots of old, and she works quickly and unobtrusively.

To secure your date we ask for a Non-Refundable deposit, this will range from €50.00 to €200.00, depending on the photography option you choose, the balance is due on or before the day to be paid in full.

Your Wedding Photography

A basic outline of what we do on your wedding day

We like to start coverage at the brides hotel/apartment to capture those moments of madness before she leaves for the ceremony. Candid black and white shots of the mayhem that is most bride’s wedding morning. Next the ceremony where we get reportage / casual shots of your guests mingling before the bride arrives. We shoot the grooms-men at the church before the bride arrives, then the ceremony.

After the ceremony (depending of your plans of course) we like to sneak the bride, groom and bridal party off to a location usually en-route to the reception for some private shots, (we will keep you no longer than half an hour). The wedding party shots can be taken at the church or reception. Siobhan will finish up just before you and your guests sit down to your meal, of course this is only an outline, depending on the option time.

As mentioned before, we do what YOU want. We do not like setting shots up, apart from the family and portrait shots which require a bit of organising. We do not take hours getting the ‘Perfect Shot’. We work quickly and casually, after all its Your wedding day and we believe that most couples these days do not want to spend it posing for hours, missing their guests and getting board. Candid relaxed shots of your day are far more interesting than those staged, cardboard shots of tradition, and we believe they tell more of a story.

You will receive ALL Original Images that we shoot on your day in high-resolution files on disk. You can then have them printed as you like when you get home. We can also supply you with a full professional wedding album or Wedding Book. We offer digital montage images that we create in-house and are unique to each wedding.

A guide to planning your wedding photography

It is very important to be clear as to what specific photos you will want on the day. A lot of people are happy to have their immediate families and parents, however as every bride has different plans you may want extra photos of certain friends or relatives. If this is the case, to avoid disappointment after the wedding I must get a list from you. I will be meeting people for the first time and I will need help rounding people up. This is normally the job of the best man and it is also advisable to give a list to him or a bridesmaid. I am more than happy to photograph everything you want on the day but I cannot be held responsible for missed photos if I haven’t been asked to shoot them.

Below is a general guideline of photos to expect, again you might be happy to have less of the images listed below which is absolutely fine as long as I know this beforehand.

• Preparation shots
• Bride getting ready with girls
• Bride alone
• Bride and bridesmaids
• Bride with parents
• Walking or arriving at the church
• The wedding vows and signing of the register
• Outside the church guests and newly weds congratulations and confetti
• Bride and Groom with parents of the bride
• Bride and groom with parents of the groom
• Bride and groom with brides family
• Bride and groom with grooms family
• Bridal party together
• Groom and grooms men
• Bride and bridesmaids

*If the boys are getting ready at the same venue then I will also include the boys here, otherwise I will get the boys at the church waiting.

Other combinations from here include just the bridal party and bride and groom alone.

I also include shots of the table set ups, menu cards and guests mingling.

Once again if there are other shots you would like on the day then please just ask and make a list.
