How do you Find a Wedding Photographer?

On the new poll, you can chose more than one option. Vote Now!

However you find your wedding photographer, please, please, please do the following before you pay your deposit.

1. Meet with the photographer if at all possible as there is nothing worse than having some one you really don't get on with turn up on your wedding day. You can also relax more on the day if you know your photographer well and in return, you will get much better photographs.

2. Ask to see samples of their work and check out their website, even if they have been recommended to you.

3. Ask if yours is the only wedding they will be doing on that day. There are a few photographers who will take on two which I find highly unacceptable! I only take on one wedding a week so I can get your images to you as soon as possible.

4. Check how long you will have to wait for your final images. If you are having a digital album you will obviously have to wait a few weeks longer for the printing, binding and delivery, but even if you are on honeymoon for two weeks, and want to chose your own images you should never ever have to wait more than 6-7 weeks.

At Affirmation Photography, assuming you are not going away, or are happy to leave the final choices to myself, this is the turnaround you can expect.
a. Printed images only (no album). Ready for collection in 5 working days though sometimes less for smaller weddings.
b. Personalised album 10 working days (though quite often less)
c. Digital album/Storybook, approx 3 weeks from the time you approve your design.
