Essential Check-List For Choosing Your Wedding Photographer

Having read a horror story about a married couple who sued wedding photographer, I wanted to share 5 tips that I used to book a great wedding photographer.

1. Choose someone local. Even though the internet makes it easy to find great photographers based all over the country it's best to stick with a photographer that has local knowledge, experience of taking pictures at your venue. This saves on travel expenses and reduces the chances of delays or confusion over venue location.

2. Choose which style of photography suits you. Do you like the traditional posed wedding shots, or would you prefer a more natural candid style? Photographers will specialise in one style so make sure you see their portfolio. If your first choice of photographer isn't free on your wedding date can he/she recommend someone with a similar style?

3. Visit the photographer. Again, the web makes it easy to view the work of hundreds of photographers, but always sit down with the photographer before you book one. How do you get along with them? Are they presentable - you don't want people to remember the day by rude or scruffy photographer!

4. Get recommendations. As with all services a personal recommendation is worth its weight in gold. The selection of 50 or so photos on a photographers website might look great, but this is hardly surprising given the average photographer will take 500+ photos per wedding - over 3 or 4 weddings that's a lot of pics to choose some choice shots from!

5. What's included in the price? I've had quotes from £450 to £9000! The latter included 2 full days of photography at multiple locations and a printed album. You can save a lot by just asking for a DVD of photos and getting the ones you like printed and compiling your own album - it's more fun and you can incorporate any great shots your guests may have taken too!
