WHEN choosing your wedding photographer try and go through the following checklist:
Look at several photographers’ portfolios
Look particularly at the most recent wedding albums they have completed.
Ask yourself what style of wedding photographs do you want? Formal or reportage?
What’s your budget?
Are they available for your wedding day?
What insurance do they provide?
Check that the photographer has only one wedding to do on your wedding day.
Do they provide back-up equipment on the day?
Do they use the latest in digital technology for shooting and processing photographs?
Do they subcontract the work out. If that’s the case, you could have someone taking your pictures on the day that you haven’t had any contact with prior to your big day.
Do they offer a range of wedding packages and at what cost, including VAT?
Pre-arrange some of the family pictures you want to be taken by the wedding photographer. That way you can capture those once in a live-time gatherings.
Do they do reprints and extra albums, and at what cost?
How long will it take to have the proof photos ready to view?
Ask if they are qualified members of the British Institute of Professional Photography, the Master Photographers Association, and have been awarded Craftsman in Wedding Photography by the Guild of Wedding Photographers UK. If they are members then you can safely say they are experienced in photographing weddings.
