PureLight combines the very best of photo-journalism with directed, fashion-style photography to create a unique brand of story-telling.
The lead photographer at PureLight is Samantha Hook. Sam has been photographing weddings for nearly ten years now but still gets excited at every one!
When photographing weddings, the most important thing is that each couple has a fantastic time on their wedding day. This is the way we see it: it is your job to have the best day of your life and it is our job to create a collection of beautiful photographs.
Our approach to wedding photography
We do not dominate your wedding day, for much of the day you won't even know we're there. Instead we make sure you are really relaxed and having a great time, that is when we get our best images.
We like to create something really special for each couple. We're inspired by movies, magazines, music, fashion and most importantly: our couples! We use this inspiration, along with our skills and a bit of technical know-how, to create really vibrant and exciting photographs for our bride and groom's. The result is that each of our wedding albums is as unique and full of style as each of our couples.
We also like to capture special moments - that impromptu smile or hug, small tear or belly laugh. We're always on the look-out for a kodak moment!
PureLight Wedding Albums
We have a range of beautiful albums, using the very best suppliers, including Queensberry of New Zealand. You can choose from a beautiful matted album - this means the prints are displayed on each page with traditional mats, or an artbook album, where the whole page is made using photographic paper.
We like to let the photographs speak for themselves within our albums, rather than being too creative with computerised effects. We use technology to bring out the best image from a photograph but they are still essentially photographs, not computerised images. We use a strong element of design in the way we layout our images, to bring the best from each page. You can see various examples on our album design page.
If you want to know more or would like to book
We always like to meet with people if we can at enquiry stage, but this depends upon your circumstances. We are lucky enough to be located in the gorgeous village of Stoke Rochford in Lincolshire. Just south of Grantham on the A1, Please call (01636 673800) or email to make an appointment.
A date is secured by payment of a booking fee and completion of a booking form, which we will sign and return a copy for your reference. As you can see, we put a large amount of effort and time into each and every wedding we accept and therefore we can't reserve dates without a booking fee, otherwise we all end up a bit confused as to who has reserved what.
We receive many enquiries for various dates and therefore any specific date is allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. We do our best to respond as quickly as we can to all enquiries and to make ourselves available. We have a no hassle policy and this simply means that we assume if people like what we do then they will make the effort to book us at the earliest opportunity.
We always include a full consultation ...
... with clients prior to the wedding, a service we feel allows us to get the correct feel for what exactly is required and to get to know each couple better before the big day. The service we provide is more intimate and tailored around your needs. That means you are more relaxed in front of the camera.
Please call 01636 673800 or email for further information or for answers to any specific questions.
