Reduce:
- All our cameras are digital, so there are no nasty chemicals involved in developing film.
- We avoid printing tons of proofs that will just end up in the bin. Instead we offer digital viewings of images using our projector and screen, and web galleries for you to view and order online.
- Our photos, canvas prints and frames are all sourced from local Yorkshire-based suppliers to reduce distribution and transportation.
- We have teamed up with Folio Albums, a top quality fine-art wedding album supplier based in Yorkshire who share our eco-priorities.
- Our home office electricity is 100% from renewable sources.

Reuse:
- The bubble wrap or cardboard packaging on your framed prints or canvases may look like it's been used before - that's because it has! We try to re-use packaging wherever possible.

Recycle:
- We use 100% recycled post-consumer waste paper for our general business stationery.
- Ink cartridges from the general printer are recycled.

Getting To Know Each Other

Being photographed by a complete stranger can feel a bit weird to say the least, which is why we always break the ice with a pre-wedding photo-shoot.

This gives you a chance to get to know Jackie and work with her to develop the style of images that suit you best.

The One Where We Got Married

You know you need the dress, the venue, the rings, the cake, the flowers, the fizz and the groom, but what do you need most from your wedding photographer?

No, it's not full coverage from getting ready to the speeches, it's not the second photographer to catch every precious moment and no, it's not someone who can tie a cravat or pin a button-hole (though they do all come as standard with every JCP wedding package)

You need someone who makes you feel comfortable in front of a camera, someone who knows how you want to be photographed, and it helps if it's someone you like!
There's A Reason It's A Cherry

Formal group shots and poses
Unobtrusive reportage to catch
the mood and the moment.
Creative and fun bride, groom and
bridal party images.
You wouldn't buy a cake that was all icing, so why should you have to choose just one style of photography for your wedding?

Weddings are formal - some of the time.
They're also wonderful, emotional, hectic and fun.
We think the best way to capture that is with a balance of styles. Have a look at some of our weddings on the blog and we think you'll agree.

Of course, you might like a little more icing
and a larger cherry - but that's why
we get to know each other first.
Only The Best Will Do

We felt that trawling through hundreds of different suppliers to find the best should be our job and not yours.

So that's what we did.

Within the beautiful micro-leather folder nestling in its satin-lines presentation box is a pair of bespoke printed discs containing around 350 high-resolution images, as well as slideshows for playing on your DVD  player, PC or Mac.

I Hate Having My Picture Taken

We understand.

You feel self-conscious, you've never looked good in a photo, you have a Chandler smile.

Worse still, everyone seems to have a camera! Cameras that know when to use flash, when you're in focus - some even know when you are baring your teeth. They make life very easy for the people pointing them. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a camera that made life easy for the person it was pointing at?

The truth is technology can only take you so far. No camera can tell the difference between a smile and a grimace. Adding megapixels doesn't make having your photo taken any more fun.

That's OUR job!

When we met them, most of the people opposite hated having their photo taken too. Can you guess which?
The One Where The Kids Had Fun

We like having plenty of choice, and we think you will too.

A full studio session for the whole family means lots of time to capture fab, fun images for you to browse and order prints at your leisure.










- 45 minute studio session
- 10-20 different images
- £25 discount on your first order

Price: £50
The One For The Wall

You know exactly what you want:
the lovely framed print of the whole family that your living room wall has been crying out for.
Or a canvas print.
Or one of those gorgeous box-framed prints.

Ok, so maybe you don't know exactly what you want yet, but that's why we give you your choice of beautiful wall mounted display included in an equally attractive price.






- 30 minute studio session
- 5-10 images to choose from
- Your choice of canvas, framed or box-frame print

Price: £125

The One Where Mum Felt Fabulous

Mums will spend on anyone except themselves, which is why our guilt technicians have developed this package: a treat for her cunningly disguised as a treat for the whole family.

While the kids are in the studio climbing on Dad, our professional make-up artist will lavish attention on Mum ready for the family shots. Afterwards, it's just her, Jackie and the camera for a one-to-one portraiture session.

Go on; she deserves it. And it's really for the kids anyway, right?

- Half-day at the studio
- Make-up for mum
- 30-40 different images
- £40 discount on first order

Price: £195
The One Where We All Struck A Pose

Girls, we're talking to you here.

We have the lights, we have the cameras, we have the backdrops from studio-swish to urban chic - you bring the fashion, the attitude, the backing track and up to five friends.

Not only is a DVD of images for each of you included in hte price, but we'll even set up a Facebook gallery (unless the friends you didn't bring would be too jealous, of course).

- 1-1.5 hour studio shoot with up to five friends (weather permitting, we may also go to the park)
- 20-30 images presented on a DVD for each attendee
- Album on our Facebook page for the girls to 'share', if required

Price: £150

The One Where I Got To Be Me

Imagine your favourite musician, author, sportsman or celebrity appearing on the cover of a magazine or in a featured article. Wouldn't it be amazing if someone took the time to craft an image like that for you?

It begins with an initial consultation to pore over some samples and talk about what makes you tick. Then we spend a full session on location or in the studio with lighting props and a professional make-up artist to perfect a choice few shots, one of which will become a stunning framed print or canvas.

- Initial consultation session
- Studio or on-location shoot with make-up (if required)
- Large framed print, canvas or
box-framed print

Price: £250
The JCP Difference

Fresh, fun, stylish images at sensible prices, flexible and hassle-free online ordering and generous commission rates that go up and up: there’s something for everyone to get excited about with J Clitheroe Photography.

Whilst designed for schools, this service is also available for most non-profit-making organisations, including nurseries, pre-school groups, sports clubs, etc.

For more information, click the buttons to the left.
Generous Commission

Our commission rates are highly competitive, starting at 25% on all print sales and 10% on other items (e.g. canvases, framed prints, calendars).

A loyalty bonus that sticks!

For our loyal customers we offer increased commission rates on print sales. On the second separate booking, commission increases to 30%.  For the third and all subsequent consecutive bookings, it goes up to 35% and stays there!

No Administration

Using our online ordering service, parents place orders and make payments directly, so schools don’t need to handle any money or order forms.

Quality and choice

We also offer a choice of studio or environmental portraiture. Many schools choose studio in the autumn term and environmental in the summer term - two unique opportunities to raise funds!
Quality and choice

We treat each child's sitting as a mini portrait session. We aim to provide a range of fun and individual poses for parents to choose from (usually between 3-5 images per child).

Any image, any size

A common complaint about school photos is the restrictive pack sizes, whereby you get too many of one size, not enough of others, and additional prints are extortionately priced.

At JCP we do things differently. We offer parents the opportunity to order any combination of individual images in any combination of sizes, subject to a minimum order price (usually as low as £15).

Online Ordering

We provide a secure password-protected online ordering service, with payment by PayPal or personal cheque. (For those without Internet access, we provide a postal ordering service.)
Fun, fun, fun!

The style of our images is contemporary and based on having fun! Rather than the formal head and shoulders photos we all remember from our school days, our images are natural and candid shots of the children enjoying themselves - be it in a studio setting or, venue and weather permitting, outside at play!

Best friends and siblings

In addition to individual images of each child we are happy to offer ’best friends’ and ’siblings’ options. Our ‘any image, any size’ policy makes this simple.

Family days: an alternative fundraiser!

Invite pupils and their families for a 20 minute individual family photo session at your school on a weekend.

We suggest a booking fee of £10 per family, which is kept by the school along with an agreed commission on the profits from all sales.


(Sales from family day sessions are based on our standard portraiture prices)
Products and Prices

We offer a range of strut-mounted prints from      6”x4” up to 12”x8”. We also offer everything from wallet-size prints right the way up to 30”x20” canvases and framed prints - it says something about our school photographs that people regularly want to hang them over their fireplace!

We also produce group montage prints, and beautiful personalised 12”x18” calendars for fridges or noticeboards - a great gift idea!

Please download our full school photography pricelist for more details.

The Business
J Clitheroe Photography is a family business, officially launched in April 2008.

Meet the Team: Jackie

Jackie Clitheroe is the sole proprietor of the business, which she thinks means she's 'The Boss'.

Jackie jumped at the opportunity to combine two of her favourite things - photography and a young daughter - to turn professional following the completion of her maternity leave.



Meet the Team: Andrew

Andrew claims to be the 'General Dogsbody', but Jackie prefers to describe him as her right-hand man and her taller half!

As technical researcher, web designer, tea-maker and all-round calming influence, Andrew is the rock of the team.

He's also not bad with a camera!


Meet the Team: Mahale

We really understand the 'joy' of photographing young children - Mahale is our inspiration and sometimes willing model.

She keeps us on our toes and helps us maintain focus (pardon the pun) on the really important things in life - butterflies, flowers and fairy wings, of course!


Family Values

As parents, we are personally committed to taking care of our environment, and so strive to take care in our professional life too.

In our endeavours to be as 'green' as we can, we are also conscious of our desire to provide the highest quality products, and have selected our suppliers to achieve the best of both.

How long do the photos take on the day?

The most important thing about your wedding day is that you are getting married! You've invited all your friends and family and have a fantastic celebration planned, so we don't want you to miss it. However, we also know that you will want to look back on this wonderful day for years to come, so we want to make sure you have the perfect album. So, we try to create a perfect balance between capturing beautiful images for you to treasure and giving you time to enjoy the rest of your day too.

Therefore, in addition to the many photos we will capture of you and your guests, we request a minimum of half an hour with just the two of you usually between the service and the wedding breakfast to create those special images that will last a lifetime.

For more info, check out our blog for an outline timeplan for a wedding.
Do you charge extra for travelling between venues?

No, it's included in the package.

The only time we may charge additional travel costs would be for weddings outside a 75 mile radius of Selby, or on our worldwide weddings. Please contact us with details of your wedding, including date and location so we can prepare your bespoke quotation.
Will you stay until the First Dance?

Our standard coverage is from bridal preparation to speeches as it forms a nice cut off point for everyone.

We do also offer an evening package for large weddings (more than 100 guests), please ask Jackie for more information at your initial consultation meeting.
How long do you stay on the day?

Our standard coverage is from bridal preparation to sitting down for your meal/speeches, which works out to approximately 8-10 hours.

We do also offer an evening package for large weddings (more than 100 guests), please ask Jackie for more information at your initial consultation meeting.
Have you been to our venue before?

With the thousands of fabulous wedding venues in Yorkshire, it is quite possible that we may not have shot a wedding at your venue. However, rest assured that Jackie will conduct a 'reccie' of your venue(s) a couple of weeks prior to your wedding to find all those beautiful nooks and crannies to get fabulous photos of you, to identify the best places to get the bigger groups shots, etc.

We always wait until a couple of weeks before, so we can see what flowers and trees are currently in bloom, assess the light levels and directions for the time of year, and so the venue is unlikely to have changed significantly between our reccie and your wedding.
Do you do evening photography?

For weddings with over 100 evening guests, we offer a very special evening photography package. Ask Jackie for more information at your initial consultation meeting!
Who chooses the photos for my album?

Usually it's you, but if you want us to do it (and some people do!), we are happy to oblige. Regardless, we will prepare the long-list, and a baseline album layout with our favourite images ready for your viewing. This is just the starting point, you are free to make changes to your heart's content. We won't send the album to print until you are completely happy with the layout and give us the go ahead.
Who owns the copyright of the images?

The copyright of all images is retained by the photographer. However, if you purchase the DVD of images, we will include a license for you to use and print the images for personal use only.
Can our guests view the images online after the wedding?

Yes! We will set up a secure password-protected section of our website for your guests to view and order images from your wedding online.

On your wedding day, we will give you 250 custom made business cards with the login details for you to pass to your guests. Of course, the page will not be live until after your viewing session!
How long does it take to get the album?

After you return from your honeymoon, we will arrange a viewing day with you to see your images and select your favourites for your album. Once you have confirmed that you are happy with the layout of the album(s), it takes around 8-10 weeks for the album to be completed and delivered back to us.
Should we provide a meal for the photographer(s)?

While we don't require you to do so, it would certainly be most welcome.

Some larger venues will have provision for "crew meals", or sandwich platters served at the bar. On some occasions, we have been fortunate enough to be treated to the full meal and have sat with family and friends in the main dining room - which is great, as we become more integrated with your wedding guests and people relax and we are on hand to capture more photos.
Portraiture Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much do you charge for prints?

2. What should I/we wear?

3. How many photos will you take?

4. Do you do pet portraiture?

5. The print size I want is not listed, can you supply in a different size?

6. How do I view the photos from my shoot? Do you provide a web gallery?

7. Can I buy a DVD of the images from my photo-shoot?

How much do you charge for prints?

Our full pricelist is available as a downloadable pdf file here.
What should I/we wear?

For family groups, we recommend wearing colours that blend well with each other (avoid mixing bold colours and pastels as those in pastel shades may look washed out by comparison to those in bold colours). Wear clothes that you love and that you feel comfortable in. For all shoots, I suggest bringing at least one change of outfit - or at least a change of top - to add variety.

For Lifestyle shoots, bear in mind we will be outside, so dress appropriately for the weather: consider a number of layers so we can take coats off for some shots. Hats can be a great prop. Also, make sure you bring appropriate footwear for the location and weather: if we are going walking across a muddy field, don't forget the wellies!
How many photos will you take?

This varies from shoot to shoot. Please refer to the individual package descriptions.
Do you do pet portraiture?

Yes! We know pets are part of the family (Cindy, our lurcher-cross, never lets us forget it!), so of course we can include them in a portraiture session, or indeed give them one of their own!
The print size I want is not listed, can you supply in a different size?

The sizes listed are our standard sizes, but if there is something else you would like, please let us know the details:  we can usually accomodate most special requests.
How do I view / order photos from my shoot? Do you provide a web gallery?

We will schedule a private viewing of the best images from your shoot within two weeks of the session. Following this viewing, we will upload these images to a secure page on our website for you, your family and friends to view and order prints. We will send you an email with a link and password. The images will remain on our website for at least six weeks before being archived offline.
Can I buy a DVD of the images from my photo-shoot?

Yes, we can supply a DVD beautifully presented in keepsake micro-leather folder in a velvet bag. The copyright of all images is retained by the photographer, however, we will include with the DVD a license for you to use or print any of the images contained for personal use only.
Schools Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why don't you offer packages?

2. Is there a minimum number of children?

3. Have you been CRB checked?

4. How long does it take to do the photos?

5. How much space do you need to set up the equipment?

Why don't you offer packages?

Based on personal experience and feedback from parents and schools, it is very often the case that when buying packs you end up with more photos than you need and you can't choose a variety of images without buying additional packs. We remove these restrictions and allow parents to choose exactly how many of each size of each picture they need, so there is no waste.

We have also found that, as our images are beautiful portraits rather than simple school snaps, many parents choose to order larger images to display on their walls. 
Is there a minimum number of children?

In order to ensure that a session is cost-effective, we usually require a minimum of ten children / families to be photographed in a session.
Have you been CRB checked?

As a self-employed individual, I am not able to apply for a CRB check directly, but am more than happy to submit through your organisation if required.

In any case, I always recommend that a member of your organisation be present while the photos are being taken - it helps the children relax as there is someone familiar with them and we get better photos.
How long does it take to do the photos?

How long is a piece of string?! It very much depends on the age and number of children being photographed.

As a guideline, I usually allow approx 10 mins per child - for younger ones it can take a little longer to get them settled and comfortable with the lights; for older children, it can be much quicker.
How much space do you need to set up the equipment?

For Studio Shoots a clear area 10'x15' (3mx4m) or larger with an 8' ceiling height should be set aside for the purpose prior to the photographer's arrival.
