Wedding Photography & Choosing A Photographer
Booking a photographer for your wedding is no easy task.
Before booking consider what is left at the end of your special day.
Hopefully lots of memories and beautiful photographs capturing your day.

Your photographer is an important part of your wedding day and it is their professional ability you will rely on to capture those special moments which you will cherish forever. Choosing the right photographer is all important.

Booking A Photographer
Most photographers would advise you to book in plenty time so that you have your preferred photographer with you on our wedding day. Competent photographers are normally booked well in advance, especially for Saturdays. Some couples leave their choice of photographer to the last minute and then find it hard to book their preferred one.

Getting to know your photographer prior to the day is well worthwhile as is being happy with their style.

David Hoskins of Still Images makes a point of meeting his clients on several occasions prior to the wedding so that the atmosphere on the day is relaxed and happy.

Cost
The cost of photography will vary a great deal as will the quality and service. The cost, style of photography and the time taken are only three of the areas to be discussed with your photographer and probably least important is cost.

It is surely more important to engage the services of a competent photographer who will create the images you wish and not what they want. Consider the cost of the other services required for your wedding - floral displays, bouquets, buttonholes, etc can cost in excess of £500, the brides dress may cost in excess of £1,000.

Your photographs are a lasting memory of your special day, so the results must be of a high standard.

Many photographers will tailor their packages to your budget, allowing you a wider choice of final photographs. A very basic package may cost as little as £100.00. As with all services, in most cases the more you pay the better the quality.

Finding a Photographer
How do you find a photographer?

Personal recommendation will no doubt play an important part and while this is a good way to find a photographer you will still need to visit a few studios and have a look at their work to ensure you like the style and can get on with the photographer.

Many suggest looking for an accredited member of a recognised body, such as The Master Photographers Association or the British Institute of Professional Photographers.
