Top Tips
- Make sure you meet the actual photographer(s) who will
be shooting your big day; you’ll be spending much of
your day together! Sharing a good rapport with them is essential,
so that you’re totally relaxed and look fantastic. Some
photographers (like us!) offer a complimentary shoot before
the wedding ; a great excuse to take lots of fun, informal
photos and an invaluable ice-breaker!
- Ensure you view at least
one complete wedding by the photographer. It’s easy to
take ten good pictures , but what about the other 500 or more?
View their online weddings and check for consistently high
quality throughout their work.
- Will you have exclusive use of
the reception venue or are there other weddings taking place?
Are the grounds open to the general public? Busy gardens
can restrict your photography.
- Watch out for any ‘hidden’ extras.
How many pictures do you actually get? How much are reprints?
- What
happens in case of inclement weather?
- What happens in case
of technical problems? Is there a second photographer/back-up
equipment? Is he/she insured? Is your photographer qualified
or a member of a recognised professional body (eg. BIPP,
MPA)?
- Is you photographer spontaneous or does he/she work from
long-winded lists? Will he/she play ‘the sergeant major’ or
contribute to the fun and entertainment?
- You don’t want to spend all day glued to your photographer;
leave enough time to mingle with guests and to soak up the real
excitement of your big day. Allow three hours from the ceremony
time to ‘sit-down’ as a very general guide, but
longer is often advisable dependent on number of venues, travelling
time etc. We shall be happy to discuss this with you.
- Do you
photographers love what they do… or is
it just a job?
- We do not pay commission to any venues or individuals

of our work, personality and cost.
