Choosing a wedding photographer

As I’ve just blogged Andrew and Anne’s Tyl­ney Hall wed­ding by Green­lees Pho­tog­ra­phy, I thought it would be a good oppor­tu­nity to share some advice about choos­ing a wed­ding photographer.

Colin Green­lees is an excel­lent wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher, mem­ber of the Inter­na­tional Soci­ety of Pro­fes­sional Wed­ding Pho­tog­ra­phers (there are only around 30 mem­bers in the UK) and loves work­ing with brides and grooms to cap­ture their wed­ding mem­o­ries so beautifully.

If you haven’t yet cho­sen your wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher, do read the advice on Colin’s web­site before you do. It’s writ­ten to help brides and grooms across the coun­try, you don’t have to be in the Hert­ford­shire area or con­sid­er­ing Green­lees Pho­tog­ra­phy for your wed­ding — this is valid advice wher­ever you are.

Choos­ing a wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher (extract):

Look at wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy pack­age deals. These often include wed­ding albums and will work out cheaper than buy­ing your album separately.

Try and get a pre-wedding pho­tog­ra­phy ses­sion — it’s a great way to get to know your photographer.

Find out what’s on the DVD. Will all the images be edited? They should be! Ask about the image qual­ity for reprints.

Don’t choose a wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher based solely on their port­fo­lio. You should feel com­fort­able with them and enjoy their com­pany on your wed­ding day (as you’ll be spend­ing a fair bit of time together).

This is a very short sum­mary of Colin’s advice. Please read the whole arti­cle on his web­site — it will be invaluable.
